Champions League 2019/20

The Haaland ship has sailed, unfortunately, but damn what a talent he is. With his physique, skill and work rate, he would do well in the PL too, IMO.

Will be interesting to see where he ends up. Can see him doing great things for Dortmund for a couple of years before he moves on to an even bigger club.

Bayern, they have a contract with Uber

They may do it but it will take spectacular brickhousery to keep Liverpool out.

Liverpool will have 70%+ possession again and the crowd will be behind them as opposed to the crowd being behind Athletico like last night. It'll take incredible mental strength from Atletico to keep them out. Liverpool are also a bloody good team with a lot of firepower.

I hope it happens but just can't see it.

70% possession won't mean much, as the ball will only be in play for a grand total of 25 minutes.

I'd expect Liverpool to overturn a one goal lead, but if Atletico get an away goal it could be interesting. They will know the task they face and won't be complacent like Barcelona.

And not have a shot on target

I'm genuinely baffled by all the Spurs fans that apparently want Simeone if we could get him. They have clearly never watched Atletico play.

Must be the same ones who long for the glory days of George “one nil” Graham!

Cheeky bid?

yes, but he gets everybody up and motivated! And ATM that is not how fans feel!

Atletico are the Spurs of Spain I was told by a Madrid cabbie!

In the way of operating/finance, yes. Certainly not in style of play.

Luka is still a class act!
But far too small to be successful

 

[Kandi1977]

I still have no idea why Real Madrid (or anyone) bought that giraffe they have as a GK. He's so bad it's laughable!

He would have saved the penalty if he stood sideways with his nose

 

[StephenH]

Poch better start packing his bags!
He will be off to Madrid tomorrow in the press

 

[Kandi1977]

Ramos sent off. Quelle surprise! 26th red card!

 

[jts1882]

So that means the referees get it right only 3% of the time.

Hope he does go there, I would hate to see him in the Prem again against us, think he’ll do a great job again after some time off.

 

[jts1882]

I think he would be well advised to wait until the summer. His level of intensity left him burnt out and in need of a break. Fire-fighting at Real doesn't seem the best move, especially as his methods require time to build fitness and team coordination.

I'm interested to see what Poch does and how successful he is.

Terrible everywhere he has been
