Football Daily – European Leagues: Italian drama and Diego Simeone’s future

Available for over a year

Steve Crossman and the panel react to two action-packed nights in the Champions League. Julien Lorenz, Mina Rzuki and Guillem Balague give their reaction to a busy week for Italian clubs including Juventus’ impending return, Atalanta’s late win over Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan’s shock defeat to Bodo/Glimt. In Spain, Real Madrid survived an early scare against Benfica to advance to the next round. Benfica had a large number of chances. Real Madrid doesn’t seem to be particularly strong like the old team. Atletico Madrid has qualified for the last 16 of the eighth Champions League under Diego Simeone, but will this be his last? If they had gone out, it would have been a different story for the Argentine.
