Man. ****ing Atletico. **** them hard, but that was some awe-inspiring stuff.
"Victory for football" and "that's what you get for parking the bus" vitriol all around. Honestly, whoever pulled this sensational **** out of their ass and smothered it all over Chelsea is a genius, because it's sticking to the very end. This was a humbling defeat, granted, but it's not like Chelsea were employing defensive tactics the whole way- there was plenty of going forward, especially in the second half. It's not like Chelsea's the only football team in either EPL or Europe to get ultra defensive or employ time-wasting techniques anyway. Can't help but feel that the hate that Chelsea and Chelsea fans get (while warranted in some cases) is unnatural, is all.
