The One when we didn't score a single one...again!

Simeone said after the match at Santander: "When you asked if I'd rather play bad and win I said yes. You (press) didn't like my answer. Today we played very well and drew. I'm sure you're delighted" Atleti did everything right today except scoring. In an excellent match vs Racing at santander, neither Diego, nor Adrián, nor Falcao nor any other player in red and white will be recalled as man of the match because that trophy tonight could only go to man-of-the-match Toño, Racing's goalkeeper blocking the unblockable and where Toño wouldn't reach the post or the crossbar were there to help him keep a clean sheet. A sweet and sour draw. The team played well but is also struggling to score. Will we improve? Rome and Gijon await with the answer this week.
