  1. I hate Athleticos fans, but I’ve always liked Simeone. He never makes excuses for games and he shows respect to other clubs.

    Ashame he’s in charge of a club full of racists.

  2. What I think of Atleti and Barca.

    **Atletico**: Good team/Coach but awful fans

    **Barca**: Why do you even exist?
