Atletico (H) | CL QF 1st Leg - Tue 5th April, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Inter Me Nan]

Atletico have won their last 6
Won't be easy

Although I agree it won't be easy I've just checked who they played in those 6 games and they're all shite.

 

[hihosilva]

The only way we don't get a win is if they get at our team with dirty tactics & get one of our players sent off.
Ill go for:
Ederson
Cancelo Stones Laporte Zinchenko
Bernardo Rodri Debruyne
Mahrez Foden Sterling

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

Ha!!

Looks like Pep has already planned for us getting a player sent off..,

 

[St.Pauli support]

Ref: Istvan Kovács (ROU)
VAR: Paolo Valeri (ITA)

Kovacs did a good job last autumn in Brugge. City won 1-5.

Koke on Rodri: “In the Spain national team, he also learns a lot from [Sergio] Busquets, who I think is the benchmark and is the best [in defensive midfield]. I have seen him grow a lot [at #ManCity]. But here at Atleti, I have done the same..." [via @diarioas/@insidefutbol]

Koke is really full of himself heading into tomorrow.

Mahrez Foden Sterling

Only real decision is whether Stones or Zinny play. If Zinny, Cancelo goes to right back. That said, Pep likes Gundo in European games so it wouldn't surprise me if if played instead of Foden and KDB pushes further forward
