The Super One
12th September 2012
The end of August brought a solid 4-0 home Liga victory (vs Bielsa's Athletic Bilbao and another huge European success as Atletico raised their fourth trophy in 2 years, this time destroying Chelsea waltzing their way to a final 4-1 score. Falcao, man of the match, man of the month scored a double hat trick four days apart and led to rumors on his upcoming sale in the next transfer windows as his father claimed him a lifelong Real Madrid supporters. The Colombian star striker during the international break reinforced his compromise to the red and whites and assured everyone willing to listen that he wished to win even more silverware with Atleti in the future. On the other side of the balance the unquestioned best rojiblanco ambassador ever, Fernando Torres received continuous support from the rival rojiblanco fans at Monaco in a night to remember. Fernando, come home.
Susanne (@Mirai_Torres on Twitter) from the German Peña and Gert (@ssdshirt on Twitter) from the Belgian one are on today's show to tell us about their trip to Monaco. Martin Rosenow (@atletideneptuno on Twitter) , who will be appearing often on the show adds the overseas international touch.
Besides the SuperCup that seemed to cover all other news we discuss Atlético's debt which led UEFA to temporarily block the prize money for the previous as part of the Economical Fair Play policy. Atlético (the only major European side to be warned by UEFA) claim there is no reason to receive the warning and that their payments are in order. More news on this front in weeks to come.
