It’s one thing that Alvarez isn’t finishing chances, no one scores from every shot. That tends to correct itself.
But this lack of activity off the ball is like playing with one less. This is what is most frustrating, because how do you recover *this*?
Taking him off for Sørloth is still a choice that should be gnawing at Cholo, especially as Flick quickly negated that change by throwing on Christensen.
Gabi after Simeone told him Julián would stay on the pitch
🚨🇪🇸🇦🇷 REVEALED - Gabi and Diego Simeone's conversation last night during the game:
Gabi: "Is Julián staying (on the pitch)?"
Diego Simeone: “Julián is not coming off."
Gabi did NOT look happy.

💭 Cuti on my mind
My take on Atlético Madrid 1-2 Barcelona for @intothecalderon.

Here are my player ratings from a dissapointing night.
Ultimately, failure to capitalize on chances in the first half was what did Atleti in. I thought Giuliano, Baena and Kang-In played well, but it just wasn't enough.

An outrageous second-half "performance" from Atlético, who slump to another defeat to cap what looked like it would be a huge week.
Let's have a group therapy session at 2330 CET.
Tell you what, I know we’re playing Barça and that’s difficult anyway, but this has been a really dispiriting watch from Atleti.
Poor decisions from the touchline, sloppy and low-quality play, it’s felt over since 1-2.
Giuliano I love you but the “blind pass to the center of the park” thing that you do needs to end.

I’ll amend my original post, that goal is not entirely on Pubill’s shoulders, the ball takes two unfortunate bounces past Atleti defenders. But if he simply holds his ground, Fermín doesn’t dart into the space Pubill leaves to his left.

And he just made a big mistake to let Fermín through for 1-1. Story of his season so far, 1 step forward and 2 back.

So so good from Kang-in to identify Julián with yet another switch of play. Those have been so quick and decisive.
