• Chronicle: Bayern bury Atlético (4-0)

Shortly before the torment ended,

Diego Simeone

took one last look at one of the two huge video scoreboards that hang from the two backs of the Allianz Arena.

Yes, the result was real.

His biggest defeat in the Champions League, along with the one he received just two years ago in Dortmund, was real.

"We were not forceful," summarized the Argentine coach, reviewing those first passages of the game in which Atlético seemed not to be willing to be crushed by the champion.

In which

Luis Suárez

or

Yannick Carrasco

trusted in being able to draw another scenario very different from the final one.

«I am left with the bad taste of defeat, but I am left with many positive things.

And as I am optimistic, I am left with the things that will make us good for the future, "he continued in his analysis.

Although the win was true, in his head floated the conviction that his team had stood up and, also, that this Bayern is inaccessible for a large part of the teams on the planet.

Maybe that's why he threw the rest on the band throughout the game, as if driving his own to the battlefield.

And in full emotional trance, the Argentine's face changed when he saw

Joao Félix

shrink from

Joshua Kimmich

.

"The forcefulness decided"

A play that would lead to Bayern's first goal and a tremendous fight.

Because the player Simeone would never have shrunk his leg.

«I don't stick with a specific play.

The forcefulness of the rival was the one that decided the game, “relativized the coach, victim of a hurricane similar to the one he suffered in 2016, only with a big difference in the form of four goals.

But yes, the Portuguese took note of the reprimand and endured on the grass until the last minute.

During the first half,

Lucas Hernández

, Bayern's left-back yesterday, passed again and again just one meter from Simeone.

And in one of those, of course, Cholo ended up saying something to him.

Because it is no secret that his departure to Munich is one of the ones that has hurt him the most.

Those who are close to the rojiblanco coach say that he has left a good scar.

In fact, he tried to convince him personally at the last minute, but there was nothing to do, and as he always says, also in the last case, that of

Thomas Partey

: "To the players who have given us so much I only wish him the best."

"Further improve"

"We must forget this game and think about the next one as soon as possible," proclaimed

Kieran Trippier

, one of the main veins that the Bavarian team found to attack the rojiblanco wall.

Well, in fact, the Germans also had

Felipe's

erratic night

, who does not usually make mistakes, but who ended up dizzy by

Kingsley Coman

, author of a double, in a lethal counterattack.

"We have to keep improving," pointed out

Héctor Herrera

, who kept the guy in the center of the field, which he landed by surprise, after arriving at the Allianz with only 28 minutes on his legs.

Nobody had the day.

Not even

Jan Oblak

, who endured that 2016 downpour, but unable to repel any shots.

At least Salzburg and Lokomotiv did not go beyond the tie.
