#4. Diego Simeone – Atletico Madrid
Trending
If Zidane has to win the Champions League title, he has to go through one final test which has proven to be a bridge too far for Europe’s biggest clubs like Barcelona and Bayern Munich. He has to beat city rivals Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final.
Diego Simeone has been doing such wonders at the club that it is hard to argue Atleti not being the best team in Europe at the moment. Having based his philosophy on a strong defence, with the likes of Godin and Juanfran and quick counter-attacking players up front in the form of Griezmann and Torres, Simeone has formed a well-oiled unit capable of defeating the best as mentioned above.
They have been heroic so far and even though the Argentine keeps referring to his team as the underdogs, the fact of the matter is they have a superior record against Real Madrid these days, with Simeone’s men losing only 1 match out of the last 11, and will go into the game as potential favorites.
Simeone has been incredible in building this team and until last weekend was also in the race for the La Liga title until a shock defeat against relegated Levante ended their title hopes. Nevertheless, he has won the hearts of supporters all around the world with his outstanding displays and will be looking to avenge the 2014 final loss in the Champions League against Los Blancos.
