Champions League Contenders: Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid have been the third-wheel of La Liga for a long time now and this season, after beating Liverpool twice and drawing with Real and Barcelona once each, they've given out a clear 'don't try to mess with us' statement!

In this post, I'll be analysing their recent games and study their chances of winning the Champions League this season.






Now let's take a look at their Offensive and Defensive moments which will define their Champions League journey.



Offensive:



Use of half-spaces and creating passes between lines has become a trademark Simeone tactic. They've done this very effectively throughout the season and if it continues, it cold be very difficult for Leipzig to stop them. The only problem for Atletico would be the number of times their strikers have found themselves in offside positions. 


Defensive:



One of the best defensive sides in Europe, their compact shape, rigid side-to-side movement infront of the ball and quick counter attacks, have even baffled the mighty Liverpool. To add to it, Oblak has been a beast this season, producing 'viral-video-material' saves and taking his clean sheet tally up to 100 out of just 191 league games played!
