It's a credit to Simeone and the style of player he was, to be able to bring that culture to the fans and the club. They've always been the younger, smaller brother, and now they are doing big things. I think adrupert is completely on point with -2.5, I've bet on a lot of atletico games and that is an absolute lock, especially at home. This team does not concede at home. This is particularly so with Courtois cleared to play.
I'm taking atletico under 2.5 into real madrid over 2.5 and I'm also going hard on atletico and real madrid. I've watched chelsea and bayern this season - in my opinion they are out of form and won't get it done in the first leg.
good luck!
