Atlético Madrid 2-0 Barcelona, La Liga: Tactical Review

Barcelona’s 2-0 loss to Atlético Madrid last Saturday was the team’s first in La Liga, but the third in the last four games. Ronald Koeman was not on the sidelines but was a very active voice from his box high up in the Wanda Metropolitano, with a great view of the action and the opportunity to instruct positive changes to his team.

Instead, as is often the case with the Dutchman, he was outcoached by his counterpart as Diego Simone made one big tactical adjustment that changed the game and led to one of the most 5-0 looking two-goal wins we’ll ever see.
