Like every game, I can't stand the way Atletico play.
No lies detected here
They came to hell and won though.
I didn't say you weren't qualified to comment on him. All I'm saying is that recruitment teams shouldn't make knee jerk decisions based on one game, but do complete analysis on players as well as watching him for a prolonged period of time like you have done. It was my first time watching him, he was very good.
Yeah, sure. Of course. But we already had scouted Ronnie when we played Sporting. That match it was just, well, we've got to do the business. It's not the sole decider, it's the ultimate decider, a tipping point, if you will. We've been linked with Upamecano for years.
I wasn't really aware of previous links but you are probably right. I agree with you in what you said though.
I've seen the rumours, but only just read on page 1 of his thread that we had virtually agreed a deal to sign him before he went with Red Bull, and we apparently messed it up because we changed some terms of the deal last minute. Anyhow, we are aware of his talents, now we've just seen him boss it on the biggest stage. And it so happens we are looking for a defender. I dread him being signed by another Premier League club.
Someone is probably thinking about it. Thing about UEFA is that they are very slow to make any changes to the game, or FIFA for that matter, so it might be a while.I was worried for a minute they'd somehow continue with the drink breaks to squeeze in commercials
Who will you root for? Assuming city winning CL would be your worst scenario I think Bayern would give city a harder time than we would.
Probably Bayern.
I feel that very evitable ^^ Our midfield (especially without Verratti) and our full backs are just not top CL level. Now if we reach the final, everything is possible because Neymar or Mbappe can have moment of brilliance but we'd defintely be the underdog against Bayern or Man City.
And Navas too
Going to be a staggering lack of creativity outside of Messi in that starting XI. No width, the full backs aren't great anymore, Suarez is fat and rubbish. No Griezmann make sense but could do with Fati in his place. I think we'll see atleast 30 mins of Dembele as well.
Would verrati miss the final ? And what about di maria ?
I honestly think you'll beat Lyon in the final
Dunno about Marco Veratti but I think Di Maria is back from suspension.
They are doomed.
To be fair, they've been getting the worst draw all the time, always having to meet an elite team even during the round of 16. They met Barca so frequently and both times they were knocked out by Barca and Real, they went on to win the trophy.
Good. Wouldn't mind them getting a tough draw every year.
Setien doesn't have to worry about what comes after. So he's going for the one thing that gives you a chance to win: good ol' catenaccio
Union Berlin was in the DDR sector of Berlin and played in their league.
