Regardless of Atletico's form, defence and performances this season, they are one of the most likely sides out there to choke. Fuck having something to prove, they're not big boys until they go out and beat the big boys in the greater stage. From an Olympiakos point of view, I'd prefer Dortmund > Atletico > Man Utd > Chelsea > Real > Barcelona > Bayern. Would probably rather have Utd and Chelsea than Dortmund and Atletico atm.

JM's ignorance towards Atletico is appalling. No team should want to face them right now. Best options are PSG or Real but City and Arsenal are up against it either way. Utd and Chelsea shouldn't be losing against anyone they can get. Lol. Ignorance. The guy who watches Atletico more than most is the ignorant one. Atletico do have the weakest squad. Tell me, if you were given them or PSG (hypothetically the 2 easiest games). You take Atletico. Costa, Arda, Courtois, Koke etc are great players, but I'd be a lot more scared of PSG with Zlatan, Cavani, Lucas, Lavezzi, Thiago Silva etc. Thats not to say I don't rate Atleti, its simply saying that it's the most manageable of the draws. You actually think Real Madrid would be a good draw for Arsenal. Now that's not ignorant, thats just downright silly. You see what City did to Arsenals defence yesterday? Reals is far better.

In a league situation, yes Atletico are the weakest but over a two legged playoff, I'd rather avoid a team that's in the form they are with the team (not squad, but starting XI definitely) they have. Rather take the other half of Madrid myself, they've looked beatable for a while now.

Atletico have very few weaknesses and Simeone is a tactical genius. Their squad may wear down a bit but if the games were right now, they'd be 2nd after Bayern as the team to avoid, and even that's close.

The games are in 2 months time and if Atleti get injuries they're nowhere near as strong as Bayern/Madrid/Barca. Would definitely prefer them out of all the teams.

Well because I can't see what happens in February I have to stick to speaking about how it is in December.

Hope he dives for a pen, spits on your fans and punches Terry and escapes punishment for it.

Never thought I'd be cheering on Drogba…
City could win that you know, Barca are not the force of 3/4 years ago

Why? Because he used to play for you? At the end of the day he's still a dirty bastard who does anything to win.
