Atletico (A) - Post-Match Thread

The ref didn’t nip things in the bud from early on.
Savic needlessly touching Fodens face, shouldering him in the back when the ball was running out for a throw (not the one where he got his head cut, a later incident) the Felipe assault on Foden
Then when they knew there was no way through they lost the heads totally

a total scum club who behaved like their manager
Never seen that in years how they behaved with Grealish last week and Foden tonight, was like a throw back to the 1970s

by the way, well played Foden
Totally wound them up from the first whistle, didn’t react and then had the last laugh leaving the bigger boys throwing their toys out of the pram and crying on the pitch
Absolute fucking scum and a brilliant learning experience
 
Horrible side Atleti zero protection from the ref who let to much go from both sides. Apart from their shithousery they played well second good press and cutting off our passing channels, they had no choice but to come out in the second half and they have some decent players. City couldn’t find a pass in the second half and we struggled however we stood up to them. Maybe we came of age today

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!!!

Totally agree. Uefa have been letting these teams get away with it for 60years. Shithouse referees, shithouse officials,shithouse teams, shithouse pundits for not calling them out.
I detest the slimy shithouse way they try to win. Will there be any punishment for atetico, I won't hold my breath.
Well done city,roll on Saturday.
 
Ref absolute wanker and the reason the match descended into chaos at the end and in the tunnel.

Atletico shithouse fûcking wankstain of a football team.

Simone has moulded his team to reflect him, shithouse wanker.

The crowd who turn up for that every week, well done, not for me.

Finally, the hard man in the tunnel being held back doing his head butt motion, fùcking nonce, let’s see you do it in the real world dickhead.
 
Players showed a lot of bottle tonight. I hope they show more on Saturday than some of the fans here on. We were always going to be up against it anyway, with Liverpool having the home tie and the easiest opponents in the draw whereas the opposite is probably true for us. But that doesn't mean we'll lose.
Dippers have a big advantage now due to have been given a by to the final of the champions league, gonna be a huge task for us to win anything from this position with the games we have left, depending on what injuries we have after tonight it'll be a herculean effort from the lads if we can pull a couple of trophies off, I'll settle for the league title now
