How is that not a penalty? He clearly catches the top of his foot. You see those given all the time.

That Real Madrid front 3 looks dangerous on paper but Atlético have so far kept all 3 pretty much out the game could we do the same

 

[SOR_21]

should have scored atleti, that madrid defence is crap

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Alvarez as cool as you like.

The good old Panenka?

 

[MCFC1993]

Is there any chance this Madrid backline has to start against us?

What is up with Rudiger?

Only Mendy could come in for Garcia.

Rudiger, Alaba, Militao and Carvajal are all injured.

Diego Simeone a possible Pep replacement? when the time comes of course.

Wonder how many will make a dramatic recovery by Tuesday?

Whilst we may think cynically, I think they're all pretty serious injuries, no chance of them being ready Tuesday.

Carvajal and Militao are ACL's, I think Rudiger has already been ruled out of both legs.

No excuses then.
Any other year and that would fill me with supreme confidence, but you just know they will look at our midfield as well and think "if we can't beat these..". Annoying

Fuck no.

That’s a shame :-)

Atletico go top with a win at the smacked arses.

Need to add will in there as that reads like they’ve already won and gone top.. ;-)

I think they’re winning the league this year. Madrid have a team full of whoppers that could blow up at any given moment. Barca are very good, but sometimes very bad. Wouldn’t bet against Atletico lifting the European cup.

Lol talk about a complete change of style.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Why ?

Did you think it was? Eye on the ball and the ball has gone before any (minimal) contact. Would be furious if given against us

I'm not actually watching the game, just asked about why it was given.

He knows something about being hard to beat and grinding out results, and has even shown that does want to implement a style more pleasing on the eye at times. But his football is a chore to watch most times, and while he deserves all the credit in the world for guiding them to be competetive from the chaos he inherited you could make a genuine argument that he has underachieved a bit considering how little managers has the control and power he is given, and how financially muscular they have become in the market. He has spent a lot of money, but for the most part been content with third behind a Barcelona in disarray and Madrid that takes more league campaigns off than most other top clubs

Basically a cross came in between the Madrid striker and Atleti forward and they both missed it. Then they had a very slight coming together which went to VAR review.

As I said, would've been gutted if given against City.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Real all over them now. So much firepower with athleticism and skill. Though Alvarez still a threat.

Starting to worry about Tues...
