Pointing to a glaring absence of structure, fluidity, and attacking impetus, the Frenchman argued that the team was set up to fail against a disciplined Atletico side.

Addressing the media after the match, Makelele in a chat with ESPN, expressed sheer disbelief at the lack of a cohesive strategy from the technical area:

“There is no understanding. Neither between the players nor with the coach. Mourinho must talk to them,” he said.

“The team is weak, there is no game plan and no clear ideas. There is nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing… Absolutely nothing. We must demand more from them.
