During a drinks break at the Nou Camp we can see the players of Atletico huddled together, receiving instructions from Diego Simeone and looking like a team ready to go to war.

And that is the essence of what is going wrong at the club at the moment. But beyond the lack of silverware there are much more pressing concerns going on behind the scenes at the club. But can Setien really be to blame for everything that is going wrong, given the farcical nature of things going on off the pitch?
