It's a very dumb rule. I agree.

 

But I also like the way Atletico play, I don't find it boring. You make the best of what you have.

The problem is that Atletico has really awesome players. I think people just assume that they have to play that way because the players are not so good, but I'd say that's not true. 

They are awesome when they play for Simone.

He breathed life back into Filipe Luis and Torres. Fucking Torres! The guy was so over and now he is a decent CF. A play maker and scores very important goals. 

I very much enjoy watching Carrasco and Gabi too. Griezmann is world class.

But again, You just can't play offensively against Neymar, Messi and Suarez and expect to win. It may happen but you don't expect it to happen.
