Marca: Inter Milan and Manchester City s exit made Atletico Madrid more painful, they could have drawn the lottery
"Marca" published an article commenting on Atletico Madrid's Club World Cup elimination and the upset elimination of Inter Milan and Manchester City.
Marca said that the pain of being eliminated from the Club World Cup is still tormenting Atletico Madrid, and the only team that has 6 points but has been eliminated has still bleeding from the wound. As other teams advanced to the finals, all the details that led to Atletico Madrid's exit were constantly magnified.
The latest results add to the pain. They could have advanced easily in the first round. At this moment, they should be preparing for the quarter-finals with Chelsea, and this Premier League team is far from the top European strength.
If Simeone's team is still pursuing dreams, it will be even more bitter to look forward to the possible semi-final opponents, because the latest game has cleared the two mountains of Inter Milan and Manchester City for Atletico Madrid.
If you cross Chelsea, Atletico Madrid will face Fruminense or Riyadh Crescent semifinals. Although these two dark horses performed amazingly, they were actually signing for Atletico Madrid. Paris, Bayern and Real Madrid in the other half of the district are the real nightmares.
