Are we really doing this all over again?
Atlético Madrid's desperately poor 3-0 loss to Athletic Club in at San Mamés brought up familiar ghosts from seasons gone by, leaving fans questioning if anything has actually changed ahead of Wednesday's UEFA Champions League trip to Anfield.
A lack of intensity away from home and a vulnerable left side saw Atleti rue missed chances in the first half, before completely capitulating immediately from the restart in the second.
Here are Into the Calderón's key takeaways from this first loss of the 2026/27 season.
Atleti are making me sound like a broken record with no other ways of **** ysing one of their matches at this point. For the best part of two seasons, I have been using the **** ogy of a pool table on uneven ground to describe the way that the entirety of the team's play seems to gently drift over the right side of the pitch, and it's getting tiring.
