The season is gaining momentum, but one big title has already been contested. Benfica will become the world champion in the game against Atlético during the 24/25 season. By last season, Atlético had generally ceased to astonish us with its chaotic play. Often conceding four goals in a match, it even suffered five from Real in the Super Cup. But chaos implies a certain amplitude of play, mutual sharpness. Here, there was no reciprocity whatsoever. One-sided castration of the most macho team on the planet. Zero shots on target. Less than 0.5 xG. I want to signal the performance of Fredrik Aursnes, who was outstanding in the role of "tuttocampista." His deep and conscious interpretation of three positions-foundational right eight, right winger, and ten-along with spontaneous successful appearances in two or three other positions-was remarkable. I think Simeone would have signed such a player right after the match if he could, and he will be able to.
