Before Diego Simeone, Atleti were a middling club in La Liga, however, since he has come in, anything less than a top 3 finish is considered a disappointment and the main aim is to win the league. How has he changed them?

Which are the other key moments of his reign that you noticed? How do you think he'll get on with his new squad this season?

[@meehleibfamily3070]

His style is the antithesis of Barca and Real. Instead of trying to be them, like many many teams do, he does his own style. Better to be the best you than a good version of someone else. Why I respect him and not Man City

[@meehleibfamily3070]

I love his style but he needs a world class striker to make sure goals come.

[@iz127]

2-3 at Anfield and 1-0 at Wanda Metropolitano. Almost a decade yet still able to beat the best teams in the world (except Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid in UCL ofc).

7 trophies in his full seven seasons.. In his eight full season now.. Never got below 76 points, never went below 3rd.. challenge for title season after season. Won league ahead of messi’s barca and ronaldo’s madrid, was in the title race to the end again in 2016 and went to ucl final. Knocked out barca twice, bayern and liverpool all in his first meeting with them in ucl. He won everything except the ucl, hope he gets that soon because he deserve it..

I wouldn't agree that his team was 5 times weaker. His team was good probably not as good as RM but he managed to build a strong team on a low budget and also managed to make them even more skilled. His tactics were super brilliant too.

[@jackkelly7395]

He also won Spain super cup against Real Madrid

[@politicallycorrectredskin796]

To me at least the reason I really love Atletico under Simeone is that they never quit under any circumstances. Since they also make few mistakes and are I believe tactically more prepared than other teams to take advantage of opposition mistakes it just makes them rough to deal with for anyone. Mentally and tactically they are just better than you, and they are very efficient with their chances. So you'd better beat them on talent or you're gonna lose. Make any sort of mistake and odds are you'll be punished for it immediately.

[@iz127]

I agree with you this time, and he's done it for almost a decade. Now, my respect to him grow better.

What you mentioned at the beginning of the video was not the extent of Atletico de Madrid's success before the Simeone era. It was from the moment they rose back to Primera Division in the early 2000's but before then they had won 9 La Liga titles and had even reached the Champions League final in 1974. He has transformed the club and Atleti is now in the best era of its entire history but to say they had only won a Europa and a SuperCup is not true.

Diego simeone - well his story with ATM deserves a good documentation. followed their progress - and to be selfish i want him to reach at- least 3 more UCL finals, win 3 more uefa cup and at- least 1 more la liga.
