Atletico (A) - Post-Match Thread

Not a lot could be done to make him leave. His teammates seemed to be trying to persuade, but it's on the player to leave.
Surely then he's disobeying the sending off and should be open to more penalties? Yes it's UEFA and nothing wiill happen, but even they must see that it makes them look even weaker than we know they are?

The referee ruined tonights game.
I assumed a German ref would be used to huge matches and keep a firm control.
He was a limp, wet lettuce who let the Athletico players walk all over him.
He allowed thuggery throughout the game (the early challenge on Phil was an obvious yellow).
This allowed Athletico to constantly surround and bully the ref. He even back-pedalled at one point as about 6 of their players enveloped him.
Where were our players in these protests. I thought Gundo was anonymous and nobody from City questioned his decisions.
This lack of us remonstrating I feel led to us getting 5 of our players booked, as against only 3 (although one theirs received 2 yellows) of Athletico.
I bet EUFA take no action for the tunnel incidents either...

The referee needed to send Felipe off the moment he elbowed Foden in the head, but he didn't want to ruin the game...and in doing so he ruined the game.
 
First of all, what an absolutely unbelievable performance from City. We defended superbly and Stones was majestic again - he is really becoming a talisman for us. Walker was immense and Ake too who seemed to just pull out clearance after clearance when he came on. Maybe he's starting to get 'bloodied' the City way? The whole team put in a shift and imagine having to do that a few days after playing Liverpool then flying out to Madrid. Full marks to Ederson for pulling out some great saves too, I think it's one of the best games he's had for us.

Honestly, I have no idea how we didn't explode at what they did.

This is why I hate the CL with a passion. The referees are utterly diabolical and the guy tonight clearly had no control over the game and no idea about what they were about. Why is someone who's plainly got nothing about him in charge of a game like that? He was a fucking clown and I'm being kind there. He should be banned from reffing at this level. He was unprepared for the game and allowed assault after assault, injury after injury. When was the last time you saw a game where one team had 2 players off injured, one headbutted and another probably concussed and later dragged off the pitch? I'd say about 1935.

As you'll know, I detest VAR. It is there to spoil the game. Tonight if we'd had scored a goal where Foden's tongue was 2 millimetres ahead of Felipe's arse hair they'd have spent 5 minutes going through it frame by frame trying to find an angle that can chalk it off. However, they conveniently miss the headbutt and Savic and the pulling of Grealish's hair should've been sent off, especially after dragging an injured player from the pitch.

Last year we were subjected to thuggery from PSG once they were out and they aimed MMA kicks at us. As soon as Foden got rabbit-punched and Felipe got away with it, it was just a matter of time before they MMA'd the rest of our players. If UEFA think that us boo-ing their shit anthem is worthy of a punishment, what does tonight deserve? The stuff in the tunnel was utterly disgraceful. Their behaviour on and off the pitch was an absolute disgrace. The CL should be renamed the ACL cup after the type of assaults your players will receive.

Honestly, if I was Pep I'd have sent Fernandinho on to break the legs of Savic. What an absolute disgrace of a player he is. How Pep can bite his tongue in the interview, I'll never know. Honestly, in the tunnel why do they hold players back? Savic would get his head caved in from Walker.

I'm glad we're through to the next round, but fuck every inch of this competition and the corrupt officials who run it. Give me the PL every single day of the week. I hope we win it this year and then tell them we'll not bother with it again. It's a cup for teams who can't win their leagues and finish 4th etc.

Fuck UEFA. COME ON CITY!!!
Fuck em!there a disgrace and got delt with ,well done city !!!!

1935? I presume you’re a youngish chap as that was a relatively mild game compared to some in the 90’s, which were much less dirty than the 80‘s, which were markedly less violent than the 70’s!
