Drama, baby, drama! RB Salzburg lost 2: 3 (1: 1) at Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League, and they still earned a lot of respect. We don’t want to go that far, and after this heroic performance at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, which even took away the German Sky teammates (“Quick! Back to Madrid!”), Crown the Salzburg Bulls as “ winners of hearts ”.
Salzburg broke into the hearts of commentators in 2019
But internationally, RB Salzburg already honed his profile last season. In the season premiere, RBS demanded everything from the two previous European Cup champions in a strong group with defending champions Liverpool FC and SSC Napoli. “In the end, Salzburg might have looked like a weaker team from a weaker league, but the winner of the Champions League had to work hard to take the lead,” was the conclusion of the Daily Mail after the 2-0 draw in the “group final” against Liverpool FC. Against KRC Genk (6: 2), in the brilliant start, only Erling Braut Haaland broke the record as rotten matches. After the dramatic 3: 4 at Anfield, the whole football world knew: “This is not a fucking friendly game.” Worship.
RB Salzburg is in the process of continuing to write this cult series. Although only the applause instead of the points jumped in Madrid on Tuesday night. The Salzburgs are sure of the respect of the European commentators. In Spain, in particular, they were filled with praise for the outsider who would have pushed Atléti to the brink of elimination with a 2-2 win.
“Crazy as the Austrians wanted”
“The game was crazy, as the Austrians wanted. They attacked bravely and regardless of loss. Atlético played with fire, this time because of what their rivals offered ”, said El Mundo Deportivo. AS criticized the Austrians’ style of play: “Salzburg showed an insolence and courage that did not match football at this level, and they finally paid for it.” By that, the Spaniards were probably referring to the supporting role that the Salzburg defense played before the decisive 3-2 Joao Félix took. “Joao Félix scored because the Salzburg defense seemed too static after a low center to the box,” wrote the Daily Mail this time.
The Brand is completely different. She adopted the motto of the patron saint of Salzburg and undoubtedly gave the Salzburgs the highest praise en route to the two games against FC Bayern Munich. “Joao Félix gives you wings,” says the newspaper, “The game was a tightrope act. Atlético and Salzburg were rope acrobats, close to fame, but just as close to the abyss. Salzburg was ready. Your energy was overwhelming. “
