Champions League Quarter Final Games 12-15th August

[Gordyola]

He seemed to suffer from a lack of confidence when he was at City. One mistake and his game fell apart.

I think he had a personal family tragedy when he was with us

Can’t believe that we haven’t been sniffing around Upamecano of Liepzig. Looks a fantastic defender imo

He looks class doesnt he ?

 

[PJM1891]

Atletico do realize this is a knock out tie and not two legs right?

Why are they so defensive?

Don't they always play like this.

 

[Beanhead]

Upamecano is only 21.. we should be all over him. He looks to be a right sided centre half.. so perfect fit.

 

[bluemoonste]

Upamecano looking very good. Comfortable on the ball and always looking to play.

Looks a great CB with strength n pace

 

[The Black Shed]

Atletico do realize this is a knock out tie and not two legs right?

Why are they so defensive?

It's the modus operandi. Keep it as tight as a gnats chuff, maybe nick a goal or take it to pens. They don't concede many so this could be 0-0 after ET

 

[Stoned Rose]

Atletico are basically Burnley but with more exotic surnames.

 

[skyblues]

Do they run anyone over, or do they just do exactly this ?

I’m not sure I understand the question.

Atletico do realize this is a knock out tie and not two legs right?

Why are they so defensive?

It's what they do. That night at Anfield, when they scored 3, was an abberation.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Nagelsmann said pre match maybe Atletco isn't 100% matchfit after the longer league break, like Real and Atalanta
and they seem to keep the pace high to use that possible advantage.
Bringing Forsberg later on is part of his matchplan to win the tie late.

And Upamecano, still 21...
