UEFA Champions League: Bayern Munich 2-1 Atletico Madrid - 5 talking points

Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid players celebrate reaching another final

Atleti still have work to do

Diego Simeone
Simeone will lead his men to another Champions League final

Atletico Madrid go into the final as clear favourites regardless of which team triumphs in the second semi and rightly so. Diego Simeone’s men have managed to knock-out Barcelona and Bayern Munich, two of the best teams in the world on their way to the final of Europe’s elite competition.

With that being said, Simeone’s side still has a lot of work to do. Despite being solid at the back, Bayern Munich did expose chinks in Atletico’s defence. Crowding men into the box did not stop Muller and Lewandowski from finding pockets of space. The duo’s inability to finish on the day and some superb goalkeeping from Oblak bailed Atleti out.

Having emerged victorious over the course of two legs, the Colchoneros must learn from their away defeat in order make sure they don’t throw another European final away.
