FIF Special OnesLet’s talk about this on the pod. Does the opinion of casual matters? I would argue it does.

10 years of FIFFIF Special OnesThey’re already up 2-0 after about 20 min. He ain’t coming on in a stressful situation.

Most Improved MemberThe time and the teams form are completely different though. Against Real we were a bit surprised in the first game, and we didn't try too much in the last one. Now, our team is in the best form since the beginning of the season, and the moral is high after we have beaten Jube and Roma.
I don't follow Atletico, but they will be without Morata, who seems to have a great season so far.

Watching Las Palmas game, the goals are gifted. Even though ATM does not play smooth counter attack, they defend like us, making Las Palmas possession toothless. And more importantly, they double down on every Las Palmas player who got the ball. Very suffocating style.

Most Diverse PosterBut WE ARE a top European heavyweight. Beating Atletico, who aren't a top European heavyweight doesn't really make us bigger.
They would always be the underdog here.

10 years of FIFMost Diverse PosterThere are teams that play a certain way that are bogey teams for us.
Bayern gets regularly beaten by Borussia Monchengladbach and yet it's Bayern that wins the league every season. Some teams are just the antivenom

Are you sarcastic or what? Last 13 years (except last one) Atletico is def European heavyweight, not us.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFThis line of reasoning made some sense when we faced Benfica.
It’s obvious that this team has truely something special going on, and we have a non-trivial shot at conquering Europe.

- Don't have one.
Also, sociedad whole setup was trying to fuck up the way we play, so much so they imo completely disregarded their own style, especially when we played them on meazza. I doubt atletico will play that way, they have much more quality to impose themselves and consequently leave more openings.

The cynical act is getting tired guys. It's not edgy or funny anymore.
This is not a 50/50 matchup. We are expected to beat atletico. We are easily favorites on paper, and by the oddsmakers. ATL is not the same team they were years ago and neither are we (for the better).
Some of you need to wake up and realize that Inter is a serious challenger in Champions League this year, meanwhile ATL has lost 6 matches in a weak La Liga and drew Lazio and Celtic in the worst group in CL.

I watched all games Real vs Atletico this season. I dont see any of our opponents in Seria A that is anywhere near quality of Atletico. I really hope we will beat them but they are tough motherfuckers.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFI don’t pay much attention to La Liga but Atletico has always been a tough nut to crack under Simeone. Looks like they’re scoring more this season and still defending very well as per usual. For me, this is 50/50 over 2 legs. They’re well rounded and have the experience but we’re in our very best spell under Inzaghi.
Morata out for the 1st leg is big though. Hopefully we can take advantage of that.

as optimistic as I am about our form, this a coin-flip at best. Atletico are more expert than us in grinding out fixtures like this over 2 ties. But if we do get through here, I think we could do some real damage again in this tournament.

Oh yeah, they killed it last year in CL and we totally sucked. We should all be so afraid...
