The Tournament So Far
Things didn't get off to the best start for Atletico Madrid in the 2014 2015 Champions League. In their first match of the tournament, the squad lost an away match to Greek club, Olympiacos Piraeus. The game ended 2-3, causing some to wonder whether the Atletico footballers were still reeling from last spring's loss to Real Madrid.
Luckily, the Mattressers have since been looking like a team with something to prove, and fans have been proud to wear the Atletico Madrid jersey along the way. Indeed, the football club has won all four of their matches since that disastrous Olympiacos away game. They bested Juventus in a 1-0 home game, dominated Sweden's Malmo FF twice (once in a 5-0 home game and then again in a 2-0 away fixture), and claimed redemption against Olympiacos in a recent 4-0 triumph.
On December 9th, players will don the Atletico Madrid away shirt 2014 2015 for one last UCL match for the year: an away game with Juventus. However, as far as advancements and eliminations are concerned, Group A is all but settled.
Thanks to their winning streak (and a +11 goal difference), the Mattressers will advance to the knockout phase of Europe's most prestigious club football tournament. Juventus has also earned advancement, with three wins and two losses. In other words, the soccer game between the two football teams will be played for bragging rights more than anything else.
Comparing to Last Year
Things may have looked bad for the wearers of the Atletico Madrid jersey early on, thanks to that unexpected upset from Olympiacos. However, if the soccer club beats Juventus on December 9th, they will actually be in a pretty similar position coming out of the group stage as they were a year ago.
In the 2013 2014 Champions League, Atletico won five matches and drew one in the group stage. That earned them 16 points in the group standings. A +12 goal difference helped further to further validate their lead over opponents like Zenit St. Petersburg, Porto, and Austria Wien.
The Mattressers went on to have a nearly unstoppable run in the knockout games. En route to the final with Real Madrid, they beat AC Milan, Barcelona, and Chelsea. A 4-1 extra time loss against Real kept Atletico from a title, but certainly showed they were one of the best football teams on the planet.
This year, fans in the Atletico Madrid away shirt 2014 2015 will be rooting for a win against Juventus, as that victory would leave the Mattressers with 15 standings point in Group A. That number would be very close to the team's count from last year. And based on how Madrid ended up doing in the tournament last year, that wouldn't be the worst thing.
