• Chronicle: Atlético lives another tragedy in Lisbon

A Leipzig full of ideas, positional discipline and fortune ended yet another dream for Atletico Europe, which is definitely Simeone's cursed competition . A character who always swings in games like the final in Rome, Turin or this new misery in Lisbon. Ideo in Simeone, with too much defensive sophistication, without ever improving the offensive imagination.

He will be the hero of the rojiblanca story, but a distressed failure due to his obsessions and mistakes in decisive matches. And for any witness to the match, the most outrageous and painful thing for the athletic fan has been losing and being eaten by the feet of a team with only 11 years of history, very economically repressed, with worse individual players, but magnified by a strange and 33-year-old exuberant coach named Julian Nagelsmann .

When I realized his talent, I couldn't help but be surprised. In London itself, Nagelsmann laughed tactically at Tottenham's "famous" coach named Mourinho . The way Leipzig positioned itself, how it moved the ball, with technique, speed and precision, opened my eyes to a new way of playing, which did not even have the Germany brand in its game. He was born in the shadow of the great city of music that had lived through terrible years in the so-called communist democracy in East Germany.

I think more about the players than Simeone himself. The misfortune of the confidence provided that those same players, with Koke and Saúl headless, prostrated themselves from the beginning before a symphony of their countryman Mendelson. Playing only with a famished Diego Costa as the sole attacker showed that Simeone did know who he was up against. But once again fear overcame his intellectual will. Even Marcos Llorente seemed caged, without running. A dark Atleti without offensive power, just stranded with Carrasco's speed , was very little compared to the great tactical disposition of a Leipzig, who with worse players, always arrived earlier and seemed more dangerous.

Simeone took too long to decide that Joao Félix would save his string of mistakes. Too late. Because everything ended with the tragedy of a rebound goal. Once again just punishment for pathos or his salary from Simeone's pathetic and religious fear. It was Leipzig's 'tocatta y fugue', in homage to another musical giant in the city. The superb Juan Sebtian Bach. And be careful that his music sounds like the great organ in the Leipzig Cathedral.
