Here is an incredible thread about the longevity of Atletico Madrid’s squad.
Atletico Madrid were considered as second favourites after a recent slump, but they came back strongly against Juventus to win the game 2-0 in the Champions League Round of 16. It was a resolute defensive performance combined with devastating finishing which yielded them a two-goal lead going into the second leg.
It was a joy to watch the Spanish side come on top because they were totally prepotent and thoroughly deserved the victory at Wanda Metropolitano.
When we dig deeper about the longevity of the Atletico Madrid squad, it’s pretty remarkable. Diego Simeone, who has been staying at this club for 9 years named a starting eleven which has at least played together for five years at the club.
The average age of the starting eleven was 8.67 which is a huge achievement considering modern day football and the players’ loyalty to the club these days.
Their record under the Argentine is simply mouthwatering.
Twitter user Zach Lowy has combined a brilliant thread following Atletico Madrid’s 2-0 win over Juventus on Wednesday.
He detailed the wonderful chemistry between the side and people would want Atletico Madrid to win the Champions League after reading this.
Can Diego Simeone’s side finally win the Champions League?
They certainly do have a chance.
