The match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, which Atletico lost 1-0, was won by Barca, but it was, to be honest, an unexciting one. It was basically a pecking match, with the only highlight being the late tussles between Savage and Torres.
Atletico actually had more shots on goal but couldn't take them
Atletico had more chances than Barca with 20 shots on goal and five on target, but in the end it looked like a team that didn't finish. Now Atletico's problem, really is that there is no consistent goal point, Felix started, performance is average. Griezmann had a shot that was cleared by Araujo in front of the goal and sadly failed to finish. juventus vs maccabi haifa lineups.
But Atletico's current lineup, playing at this level has been very good. The team has bought few good players this season, and with depaul still out of the lineup, there is a key point missing in the middle. This team really needs some new people in the back four. The team will be better defensively if we get them together. But how does Carrasco stay? Who does the team rely on in the future? It's all questions. Atletico may not really have the money to buy a new man, but can only hope for a World Cup performance from Griezmann. Felix is not leaving. However, at least this game, on the scene, Atletico did not lose Barcelona, which has already won.
Barcelona have a lot of problems without Lewan, and the team does seem to need to keep buying new people
Barca this game Araujo's defence is OK, he is not at his best. But he did offer a glimpse of an improvement in Barca's defensive ability. Basically the team is playing well with the main back four back, but there are still a few problems at left back.
The team's midfield against Atletico, there seems to be no advantage, to know that Atletico's midfield is not all the main players in the game. Casey came off the bench to warm him up? Not much to show for it. It was only a matter of time before we left.
Without Levan up front, the real goal depends on luck
Without Levan up front, it's hard for this team to score goals. There's really no consistency. Fadi is still a poor performance, indeed he is now explosive decline obviously, the team has been temporarily abandoned Rafinha starting, indeed Rafinha is now poor performance.
Dembele got the goal, but it was a wasted chance. It was a goal without Levan. I don't know who scored. I don't know how to say, Barcelona's game was the only highlight, Torres and Savage in the final moments of the hug.
La Liga league this year's level is not high, the European Champions League team performance is not normal, but after this game, Atletico probably will find confidence, such a lineup against Barcelona, there is no obvious disadvantage, winter window if can come new, at least continuous into the European League is not difficult, Se Yunju anyway worst summer window to join.
