Suffering greatly, bordering on agony, after having lost everything and when almost no one trusted him, as it could not be otherwise when it came to Atlético. However, in that DNA there is a variation since Simeone It came to change history and mentality. The red and white team no longer always loses. Quite the opposite. That’s why he did it again. They are their fourth semi-finals of the Champions League.
Fate, always capricious, continues to insist on not making it easy for them. In 2014 and 2016 had to leave Barcelona with Messi, Iniesta, Neymar or Xavi by the wayside in the quarterfinals. And two years later, to which Luis Enrique led to the triplet already with Luis Suárez in their ranks. On this occasion it was the Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Flick and company that has dominated LaLiga for two years. He also knocked him down.
Even though Barcelona continues to have a track record that does not stand up to comparison, Atlético has taken its measure in the top continental competition. Three confrontations, three eliminationsthree passes to the semifinals where the Arsenal or the Sporting of Portugal. A duel between English and Portuguese that Simeone’s men will experience from the sofa, two steps away from Budapest. A city that could allow the thorn of the two Orejonas who escaped against the eternal rival to be removed.
Simeone: “We have three games left, we know what we want and we will go after it”
a new story
In fact, only the real Madrid appears as Atlético’s great executioner in Europe, because beyond the two fateful finals, he was also the only team that defeated Simeone in the semi-finalsthose of 2017, which dismissed Calderón from the continent.
However, it does not cloud the path that El Cholo has redirected to draw a new story. Atlético has already been to the semifinals more times under his command than in its entire previous history..
Thus, we must go back to the season 58-59 to find the first one, falling precisely in front of the real Madrid. I would also play those of the 70-71 campaignbut he Ajax He blocked his path. And I would complete that series with those of the 73-74, the only ones they would win, against Celtic. It was before the shoe hit Schwarzenbeck with the Bayern Munich It will leave honey on his lips.
