Atletico (A) - Post-Match Thread

[WestGorton]

Personally I find support from either club worthless to say the least.

I don't understand

BT usually get a lot of stick for their coverage of us in Europe (and rightly so) but thought they were firmly in our corner all night. Also nice to see this from one of them...

Bloody hell well done Fletcher.

Ref had no control of that game from the first whistle. VAR equally as inept.

There was VAR!?

Absolutely, as clear a case of not leaving the pitch as you'd want to see.

But apart from showing him the red card again, the ref can't actually force him from the pitch.

And neither should he have to. Uefa should give him a 5 game ban and it would stop them doing it ever again. But we all know they wont….

Anyone interested in a t-shirt?

Hoddle started the narrative that Atleico should have had a penalty. I certainly saw a touch on the ball first but we never saw many angles of it. Trust Hoddle to see it differently.

Maybe Simeone didn't behave himself in a past life so that's why the penalty wasn't awarded.

It looked to me like: City foot came forward, Madrid foot went forward and grounded against the City foot sending the player over.
In the close melee with the ball pinballing around, would have been a stretch to say it was a clear foul. One-on-one, and it could well have been.

Just to be clear, the ref knew exactly what he was doing all match.

He wasn’t useless, he was just useful in all the wrong (corrupt) ways.

Ankles are stretchy, as long as he's knee ligaments are fine I think we'll be OK. He was moving OK in the tunnel fight

Adrenaline is the best anaesthetic.
