2-0 to atletico

nasty injury for costa though as he collided with post to score the second goal

Poor Costa. I feel sick.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Didn't look good that. Blood streaming straight away. Complete commitment going for the ball to score.

Shame about Costa but what a season Atletico are having! Champions league semi-finals plus 5 league games left for them now and they can afford to lose one and still be champions.

Klopp would be a very strange appointment since he is the antithesis of Tika-taka and the Barcelona way. They do have pressing in common, but Klopp as he said believes in chaos. There is no way the likes of Xavi would take to it. Getting Reus for 35 million Euros is completely out of the question. Dortmund won't sell him next year unless they get over 40 million at least. If next year does not go well then I suspect Klopp, Hummels and Reus will be off in the next summer.

Never seen a team score from as many corners as atletico

Make that 4 games and they can lose 1.

Oh how I long for the day when our team plays with Atletico's intensity. We'd easily win the league.

If anyone doubts how the crowd can help a team win a game then you should have just watched atletico v elche. Elche are a poor side but for 70 mins they held atletico at home, even creating a few good chances in the first half. Atletico weren't at their best, and the crowd senses it. They started booing and jeering the opposition towards the end of the first half, it lifted atleti. Then in the second half the crowd pushed and pushed their team on. Atleti won a very hard fought game 2-0, the second coming in the 90th minute via a penalty.

The game was a great example of how the crowd can be the 12th man. I wish most of the fans at the etihad would understand this.
