Panathinaikos Tomorrow!

By: Al | Comments 5 Comments

The exclamation mark is necessary because it means that we are playing our first important match of the season!
La Liga maybe commence a little less than two weeks from now, but I believe that the season starts tomorrow, and in the worst possible fashion: in a critical game that could decide whether or not we’ll [...]

The Grégory Coupet Show

Marseille 0 – Grégory Coupet 0
It makes sense that Atlético wouldn’t try too hard considering that they’re already qualified for the next round, but the beating that they took (sans the goals) was very painful to watch. In the match, there was only two different kinds of Atlético players on the pitch: those who tried [...]

We’re Through!

By: Al | Comments 3 Comments

After defeating PSV yesterday, not only are we still topping the group, but we’re safely into the round of 16. The victory was a bit easy but we’ll take it.
This means that all four La Liga teams are through, and Spain will be represented proudly in the Champions League.
The PSV match can be considered “meh”. [...]

Atlético vs. PSV: CL preview

By: Al | Comments 2 Comments

A day without fans.
Un dia sin aficionados.
Een dag zonder fans.
It sucks in any language that you put it. The Powers That Be didn’t allow the UEFA to let us slide with our punishment and the “no fans allowed” punishment is something that some Italian teams are very used to.
75 people will be allowed into the [...]

God Hates Us

Liverpool 1 – Atlético Madrid 1
Steven Gerrard’s cheesy grin has never pissed me off more.
Everyone pretty much knows what happened yesterday. Stevie G threw himself at Pernia and was allowed a penalty for it. I’m not even going to complain about the ref. It’s just a shame how luck is never on our side [...]

Liverpool vs. Atlético Madrid
Things are finally rolling and we’re more than ready to take on Liverpool. We’re getting things back on track with two consecutive wins, one in the Copa and one in the league against Mallorca last weekend. Our current objective is to qualify to the next round of the Champions League, and we’re [...]

Liverpool: Denied

By: Al | Comments 4 Comments

Atlético Madrid 1 – Liverpool 1
We have been saved by Simao. End of story. The stupid linesmen didn’t end up making us lose in the long run, and we’re in a good position to progress to the next round.
It wasn’t so much the fact that we got a point from this fixture, it was more [...]

Nunca Caminarás Solo

By: Al | Comments 6 Comments

Tomorrow, Atlético and Liverpool play one of the most anticipated matches of the season. The bad league form and stadium controversies all cancel out with the sweet sound of the Champions League theme.
Liverpool is a club that is well-respected by the Atlético fanbase, obviously because of Fernando Torres. Liverpool gives us a good reason to [...]

Well, That Wasn’t So Easy…

By: Al | Comments 1 Comment

Atlético Madrid 2 – Olympique de Marseille 1
Aguero (4′)
Niang (16′)
Raúl García (22′)
We won and got the important 3 points in our Champions League group, but it wasn’t a cakewalk. After kickoff, Marseille immediately moved the ball down the flanks and almost scored. They didn’t travel to Madrid just to see themselves lose. They fought hard, [...]
