Watch Atletico Madrid score the most tika-taka goal this year in 86 seconds of passing bliss

Sit back and enjoy the magic

Good lord

Outside of the big two in Spain, Atletico Madrid are the side that are the only realistic challengers for this year’s La Liga title.

Diego Simeone is rightly admired for his team’s technical skill as well as dynamic players, and if this goal is anything to go by the team look to moved up a gear on preseason already.

The 2013-14 champions were facing Real Sociedad at the weekend and, after an incredible 86-second passing move that involved all 10 outfield players, Antoine Griezmann got the finish.

We count over 30 passes in the build up as Sociedad get moved around by the constant passing from the Atleti men before the dagger-like finish.

We haven’t seen a goal like this since the heyday of Pep and his Barcelona team about five years ago.
