The Rojiblancos have conceded only 20 in La Liga and 33 in all competitions compared to
Marseille's 66. It could give them the edge on Wednesday.
The art of defending is being lost. These days, football is largely dominated by attacking teams and that trend is proved by the presence of Real Madrid and Liverpool in the Champions League final later this month.
However, there is one team in Europe that still knows how to master the discipline of defending and that is Atletico Madrid. And it has helped them reach a European final of their own as they meet Marseille in Wednesday's Europa League showpiece in Lyon.
Atletico were surprisingly knocked out of the Champions League in the group stages, third place in a tough foursome that also featured Roma and Chelsea. Amid a lack of goals and problems adjusting initially to their new stadium, however, their back line has remained as strong as ever.
The toughest side made their way to the final of Europa leauge finale. Hope the best team wins.
