Diego Simeone and Hansi Flick had a little cuddle in the tunnel after their teams faced off in LaLiga. Aww, how sweet. Makes me bloody sick.
Flick extends his record over Simeone
The German muppet extended his impressive record against Simeone's Atletico Madrid. In seven meetings across his time with Barcelona and Bayern Munich, he's only lost once. Big bloody deal.
Barca have avoided defeat in their four meetings since that loss, including last season's Copa del Rey semi-final. Whoop-de-bloody-doo.
Barcelona top of the table
Their latest victory leaves the LaLiga champions four points clear at the top of the table. But hold on a minute, their bitter rivals Real Madrid and third-place Villarreal have both played a game less. So it's not all sunshine and rainbows, is it?
Atletico missed the chance to move level on points with Barca after surrendering their lead. Simeone's side currently sit six points adrift of top spot in fourth place. What a load of old bollocks.
Simeone and Flick can hug and kiss all they want, but at the end of the day, it's all about the beautiful game. And right now, Barcelona are sitting pretty at the top. But for how long? Real Madrid can cut the gap back down to a single point when they face Athletic Bilbao. So let's not get too carried away with this love-in, eh?
