Bayern Munich midfielder Arturo Vidal has declared “ugly” Atletico Madrid unworthy finalists in the UEFA Champions League.
Bayern was eliminated in the Champions League semifinal by Atleti on Tuesday, with Diego Simeone’s Spanish side advancing on away goals.
However, Vidal believed Bayern were the better team in the second leg, saying Atletico played “ugly football” to get through.
Today ugly football – Atletico – played against the best football in the world. The only time they saw the ball was for the goal.
They are going to be dreaming about us right up to the final. They did not have the ball, they took on the best team in the world, they took their chances and got to the final.
The best does not always win in football, like today. They are not deserved finalists.
Bayern Munich controlled more than 70-percent of
possession and had 33 shots compared to Atletico’s nine, but those stats
mean little as Antoine Griezmann’s away goal was enough to send
Atleti to the final.
Atletico may not play the most attractive football, but
after eliminating Barcelona and Bayern Munich in consecutive legs, it’s
hard to argue anyone deserves this more than Simeone’s men.
