In Suárez, Simeone found missing piece to forge a champion

Hindustan Times  

Practically handed a world-class scorer by one of its top rivals, Atlético Madrid rode the goals of Luis Suárez burning to prove his former team wrong and the competitive all-for-one spirit preached by Diego Simeone to the Spanish league title. Here's how Atlético beat out Real Madrid and Barcelona for its first Liga crown in seven years: A PERFECT GIFT With Barcelona sunk in mounting debt and coming off a season without a title, the club in September told Suárez — its third all-time leading scorer no less — that he needed to find a new home. Simeone became the most successful coach in his club's history with his second league title, taking his tally to eight trophies since he transformed Atlético into a winner. He embraced his family before jumping onto the team bus as his players celebrated to Queen's “We Are the Champions.” GREAT START, GRITTY FINISH Atlético had a great start to the season, equaling a club record in the opening half of the season — the first 19 rounds — with 50 points.
