I know its unpopular opinion in this forum but I think that Atletico is favorite in this game. I didnt watch them this season except in games vs Real and they were really good. Especially in that first game in LaLiga when they smashed them. On their day they can beat everyone.
So you've seen then, max, in five games this season? Your forming an opinion based on having seen them play five games from a team that's played, I dunno, close to 40 games by now?
You immediately rule out any credibility to your posts when you say that. You're far more familiar with our weaknesses while being blissfully ignorant to whatever weaknesses Atlético has.
You want some facts?

Nobody's saying a 1-0 agg lead going on the road in the 2nd leg is a done deal, but quit making Atleti seem better than they are. This is not mid-2010s Atleti that was impossible to breach and had some fantastic Champions League triumphs. Furthermore, there's no reason to be doubting our capabilities. +61 goal difference overall, it's the best in Europe. Our overall body of work has been incredible, and Inzaghi's record in cup competitions speaks for itself.
Btw, one other thing that I couldn't even really include in that table...everybody talks about Atleti's fantastic home record in the last 13 months or so. It's true, they've lost only one home game all season, in addition to one other game which ended in a draw. You know how many away games we've lost this season?
Zero. We dropped points away to Juventus and Genoa in Serie A + Real Sociedad and Benfica in the group stage, and that's it. Every other away game we've played this season has ended in a win.
