Simeone will now demand a response from his side against Alaves next Saturday, while Athletic can look forward to a trip to Girona laden with confidence.

19' Oblak clears the ball before Williams gets a toe on it
Williams gives chase to a long ball played into his path and his pace forces Oblak to race out of his goal to thump it away.
58' NICE TRY! Williams' shot saved by Oblak
Williams darts into the box and drills a low effort at goal from the right-hand side of the box, but Oblak is on hand to make a comfortable save.
73' GOAL! Athletic Club 1-0 Atletico (Williams)
Williams makes it 1-0 to Athletic! Gimenez concedes possession deep in the Atletico half which allows Cordoba to pick it up on the left-hand side of the box before drilling an effort towards the back post. Williams was waiting behind the Atletico defenders to tap it home with ease.
85' GOAL! Athletic Club 2-0 Atletico (Kodro)
Kodro makes it 2-0 to Athletic! Another of Garitano's substitutes makes an instant impact after Gomez slid a nicely weighted ball into Kodro's path and his low effort deflected off Gimenez and looped over Oblak.

Injury crisis, new tactic, midweek frustration, bust with coach team, there are way too many things happened. It’s clear that our players looked exhausted and hopeless at the moment. Though we lost unfortunately, both goals are pure luck and random things. Now I just want us stay in top 4, seriously. Stop this losing streak otherwise we’re done.

They are still suffering from the TSUNAMI in the pic below. It washed away all their strength and energy, now they are left open like the legs of courtois.

This is the same team that people heaped huge amounts of praise on Juve for beating? Let's be real Atletico lost their bite ages ago. Idk what it is but they're not as strong as people want to make them out to be. Especially knowing that we knocked them out last year at their worst. Juve has been massively overestimated now cos Atletico at their worst played them even when they won Juve looked slightly better. Ajax vs Juve may be Juve first real test in the UCL with a team that's on form actually playing them. Will be one of the most tight games but Atletico as far as I see it are going to struggle in European football for a while though theyll be safe in the league and qualifying being the 3rd best team in a 3 team league.
