When it comes to overtly sexual celebrations, Diego Simeone is a repeat offender. As he said in the post-match press conference, “I did it as a player in Lazio-Bologna, and I did it again to show our fans that we have cojones.” Word to the wise, if Diego Simeone ever moves to your neighborhood, try not to get too competitive at the annual block-party, or it may result in the Argentinian manager thrusting his crotch at a collection of young families.

However, the main takeaway from Madrid’s performance last night was not Simeone’s celebration or Juventus’ defensive collapse. Instead, it was Atletico Madrid reminding the rest of Europe that they are still a threat to be reckoned with. After a shaky run of form in La Liga, many pundits wrote Atletico off as an aging side that needs a revival if they hope to win trophies any time soon. Though they looked like dynamite last night, there is truth behind the criticism of their squad.

Madrid’s back four contains Juanfran (34), Godin (33), Gimenez (24), and Luis (33). This aging bunch, however, proved critical in Madrid’s victory. Not only did the defense provide both goals, but they also prevented one of the most potent sides in Europe from getting on the scoresheet. Ronaldo, Mandzukic, and Dybala struggled for chances and, when they occasionally managed a shot on goal, were stifled by the overwhelming presence of Jan Oblak.
