Atlético: without Madrid or Juventus he is not afraid of anyone

Real Madrid has been Simeone's black beast in Europe , more specifically in the Champions League. Not in Spain, where Atlético del Cholo chained several consecutive seasons without losing at the Bernabéu. Now the Madrid team is not in the Champions League and that increases optimism at Atlético . Juventus is not there either . The two are united by their own name, Cristiano Ronaldo, Atleti's scourge in the Champions League, both when he played for Madrid and when he did it with Juventus. In fact, these two teams are the only ones that managed to defeat Cholo in the Champions League.. And now none are. The only two teams capable of defeating Simeone have been left out of the fight for the title. At the Wanda Metropolitano, nobody imagined such a scenario before the big event in Lisbon.

Real Madrid beat Atlético in the 2014 Lisbon final . The Madrid team never suffered so much to defeat an Atlético that had just won the league title and lost its two best players for the final: Arda Turan and Diego Costa , who only played nine minutes of the game and conditioned the clash. But he ended up winning. A year later, in the quarterfinals , fear gripped the Bernabéu. But Arda Turan was sent off at the hands of referee Félix Brych and Chicharito scored three minutes from the end . The forward will surely not forget the night of April 22, 2015. His goal left Atlético out.

The following season the final was repeated, now in Milan , and this time it was Juanfran who went down in history . Atlético had Madrid on the ropes again, Griezmann missed a penalty to tie with the entire second half ahead. The whites won by penalties and the cholismo faltered. The coach lived his worst moments at the Madrid club.

Another year later the two Madrid teams met again, this time in the semifinals . Atlético was a calamity at the Bernabéu, they lost 3-0 and forced a blow at the Calderón. He was ready but Benzema also passed to posterity for an impossible play . That May 10, 2017, the athletic fans dismissed their team with a prolonged ovation in the face of a great storm.

They are no longer any. Neither Real nor Juventus nor Cristiano Ronaldo . And none of the other teams are scary. Neither Messi's Barcelona , which Atlético has taken the measure of in the Champions League, since they eliminated him twice . In LaLiga it happens the other way around. Not Bayern, which Atlético also eliminated . Atlético know that if they play against them it will be in the final and they will suffer . But he knows how to do it. Curiously, the rojiblancos have a lot of respect for those second-row teams who know they can make history: Leipzig, Lyon, Atalanta ... against whom they have not yet met. Nor against PSG and City. Against the French , if the game is played, Atlético will not start as favorites . And that like. Curiously, the rival that Atlético respects the most is the first, a Leipzig without much name but with good players .
