Commentator just said Agüero has gone now seven hours without a single shot on goal. That's Giroud levels of bad
Hart is the only one who looked up to it. Given Real will get Ronaldo back next week I'm pretty sure they'll go through, will probably another Madrid derby in the final.
Aguero's never ever Giroud levels of bad, only if you consider just the stats and don't watch him play.
Nobody is Giroud level of bad this season, but Aguero has been pretty underwhelming in big games.
Agüero has one goal in 11 games against the combined might of Juventus, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Leicester, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Madrid. He had 32 touches, no shots at goal, won no headers and made 20 successful passes against Madrid. More interesting, as the competition narrows to its end point, is the fact that Agüero has gone four Champions League matches without a single shot on target.
One thing I love about Simeone is that no matter who he plays, they all look good in his system, especially defensively. It shows us what a well organised, well drilled team can do. On paper, their players are all inferior to the elite teams but their performances are up there with any teams. Just look at the decision to start Savic over the excellent Lucas, it didn't affect them one bit and Savic the perennial flop looked world class. Make no mistake, Griezmann wouldn't look this good either under Wenger. Simeone puts it pefectly before the game, it's not who has been the better soldiers, but how you use the soldiers.
The stats don't like about Atletico and I don't think I have ever seen a team defend this well and yet score a decent amount of goals. 12 clean sheets in last 13 european home matches with just 1 goal conceded, 21 cleansheets in La Liga with just 16 goals conceded. That's not all, they don't even allow you space and time to shoot. They concede on average of just 2.5 shots per match and those shots come from 21 yards away.
