I see a barcelona squad member has tested positive now, presumably having trained with the squad in recent days, its not clear if he's in Portugal or not.

Meanwhile atletico women now have 5 positive tests ahead of their CL game against barcelona on 21st, and have suspended training as a result.

Not a CL player, pre-season players that arrived this week - no contact with 1st team. All CL players traveling to Lisbon have tested negative. COVID positive player has been identified as Todibo, asymptomatic

Thank you !
I don't think i'll be able to enjoy it though.

PSG fans have had traumatic experiences after our epic bottlejobs over the years. Watching CL knockouts is more like torture nowadays.

I expect nothing.

Not a fan of Lyon usually but i was happy they knocked you out. I understand you.


How do you rate Rabiot at Juventus ? How accurate was i when i pointed out his flaws (laziness for example) during his transfer saga ?

I'd be wary of this rag **** @Parisian


Even if you win he'll suspend half your team from the semi.

I saw a post about him in PSG related media. He has been our referee during 2 games we have won. Hope the third time won't be different.

You do understand you're not safe anymore. Your chairman will hunt you down as a traitor (lol)...

I love everything about Italy and Italians, wonderful people (and beautiful ladies, of course), their culture, art, history. Yet I hate their football. It was instinctive from being a little child, their calculated, cynical approach went against everything I loved about the "beautiful game"...

Of course a lot of things have gradually changed after the 90s and Italian football has adapted to the new realities, still the above mentioned features remain in their DNA... Anyway I've learnt to respect them, basically for their intelligence and mentality, and I know that their teams are never to be taken lightly. Never ever, even when in decline, even in their weakest moments...

Tonight it has to be one of those rare exceptions though, since I cannot resist this extraordinary Atalanta proposition, a team with outstanding chemistry, full of ideas and tactical innovations. Good luck to GP Gasperini and his boys, the guy has done a fantastic job...

It will be very interesting to see how they handle an opponent such as PSG, full of talent, while coping with the pressure of a CL QF. And if they somehow manage to go through, I wouldn't be surprised if A. Agnelli decided he's seen enough of this ugly world (lol)...

They didn't knock us out. They got 4 out of the 6 points against us in the group stage.

Quite accurate, my worries about him were materialised as well. Fans compared him to a horse on the pitch lol. Recently though he's been getting better, after the quarantine he seemed much more precise and useful, providing good support to the movement of the team and more confidence going forward. I hope he keeps up the trend next season.

And regarding your CL experience, curses are meant to be broken. At least this is what we, who have lost more finals than anyone and haven't won in 24 years, keep telling ourselves.

De gustibus...
I'm sure you'll understand that being tough to beat and dangerous til the end ("fino alla fine") is something that gives us pride. Of course if you're watching as a neutral or as the opposition it's not exactly something that makes us likeable. Watching spectacular/beautiful football though is something we all aim for I think, and Atalanta has been well-liked by most Italian fans these past two seasons because of it. Doesn't matter the Italian team we support, I reckon we'll all get behind Gasperini and his boys tonight.
 
The absence of Ilicic and their first keeper Gollini will be a big blow for Atalanta tonight.
