Yeah, that's why Atleti has won 5, drawn 4 and lost 1 in the teams' last 10 meetings. I don't know why you'd give any more motivation to a Simeone side. What a dumb thing to say, even if you believe it to be true.

Well Real might have better players, but Atleti plays far better as a team.

He's right.... Nowhere did he say Real as a team is better that Atleti.

But your point about motivation is well taken.

How much more motivated could Atleti players get playing their arch-rivals in the biggest club soccer game in the world?

I'm assuming his mind game is to get some cheap YC early by some AM players and then reap a read from one of them later.

I mean, chances are this game sees a red card at some point anyway, right?

I think Koke and the Uruguayan CB could start at RM.

He's 100% right. The only reason Atleti has been this good the last couple of years is because of Cholo Simeone. You look at all the players that have left they are no way near the level they where when they were under Simione.
