Agreed. Not only that, but both sides insistence on playing football and competing for possession of the ball. Atleti were set up to counter attack, but they didn't just abandon 90% of the pitch to their opponent. It's why I prefer La Liga, as a neutral. Right across the league, the fans insist on their teams playing attacking football. Valencia will finish 3rd this season, just like last, despite the huge financial problems in recent times and the sale of some quality players. Yet the supporters have forced the club to sack the manager Emery, mainly because the football has been shit to watch. I admire that.
