December 17th, 2012 The One when reality smacked us in the face The Barça match left a big defeat for Atleti on the scoreboard but less feeling of despair among fans. How can that be? It's not (all) antimadridismo. We explain that and talk about whether Messi and co. are invincible, whether Silvio's hours as rojiblanco are counted and go through Simeone's outstanding first (of hopefully many) successful year as coach which is coming to an end. All that and more with the regular crew of Ricardo Menéndez, Garreth Nunn, Derek Maaijen and Martin Rosenow. Bonus fact: Ricky finally gets Martin's last name right! Why that's news!
