So it happened. Atletico beat Bayern.
I did not see that comming.
For me Atletico should be behind the best teams in the world if you only look at it player by player.
But they have an absolutely fantastic manager who give his everything on the pitch. The team contains some great players, no doubt, but in my opinion not mane of those should be able to get into the starting line-up in teams like Barcelona, Manchester City, Juventus etc.
But that's not necessary. They don't need no Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or whoever! They are a great team together. They fight for their fans, their manager and their club.
Their defensive organization can hold back any striker - we saw that yesterday and we've seen it before! Their team performance makes their matches won by the team who want's it the most and not by the best team on the paper. I really respect that!
Bayern tried getting the one goal that would have changed it all, but they didn't get it. Now they face a strong and enthusiastic Atletico team that smell's blood! This might be the best opportunity for them to win the Champions League.
But we've seen it before. Bayern not getting a good result in the first fixture but then smash the opponent in the second fixture. We've seen it - but against Atletico I'm not sure that's what's going to happen.
Atletico will go into the final and I think they will be put up against Real Madrid.
