The Scottish press does not seem to take the best of Atlético de Madrid has decided to remember, in the match of Champions League before him Celticto the red and white ‘heroes’ who played at Celtic Park in that famous tie that went down in history as the “Battle of Glasgow”. They demonstrate this with sensational headlines and even insults to the club with which they try to heat up a match in which they will seek revenge.
Cover of Record Sport
“Pathetico of Madrid”, headlines three columns in the newspaper Record Sport, which seems well informed about the expressions that are commonly used to try to humiliate Atleti. The Scottish newspaper considers it an affront that the red and white are going to change their usual striped shirt for one that recalls the plain one used in 1974. “Celtic must see the Atlético de Madrid shirt like a bull in a red cape“asks Tommy Callaham, a former Celtic player in that same newspaper who shows his displeasure at what happened in that tie.
Another Celtic legend considers the “trick” of the shirt as A bad taste joke”while another calls “party of shame” to that match in which Atlético ended up playing with 8 players due to the harshness used against the Scots. “They should start the game with eight this time,” reads another headline. They even mess with Adelardo for having said that Johnstone, The one who took the most kicks in the game, exaggerated every fall.
The British tabloid press has a thing for Atlético de Madrid. Very recent is that cover of the Mirror after the tie against Guardiola’s City. “Mad, bad, and dangerous”, “Crazy, bad and dangerous”, a reputation that almost 50 years later will play its role in a match in which Atleti appears as favorites thanks to the quality and good play of its players.
