Worst I have seen athletico under simeone. How are they leading la liga is beyond me. Shocking performance.
Champions League Round of 16 (16th Feb - 17th Mar)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Too bad Chelsea appointed a decent manager. They are pretty good now 
I miss Frankie.
I miss Frankie.Chelsea conjuring up their 2012 CL miracle again? 
Will be funny if they beat Bayern in the final again.

Also, why did lampard drop rudiger? Looks so commanding.
Funny thing is I will be more confident of them beating City than Chelsea. Atletico always has been able to raise their game to beat the best team. See Liverpool last season at Anfield.
If you believe the Athletic they had a falling out.
When did Rudigar become one of the best centre-backs in the world?
He's been senentational since Tuchel came in, I haven't seen a striker dribble past him yet

Athletico are top of La Liga...there must be 6 or 7 PL teams better than them.
Lamps was willing to let him leave for chump change.
Chelsea finally have a good shape about them and are pressing at a higher, much more effective rate. Can only see Atletico scoring from Chelsea mistakes
There's contact with feet and a coming together, that's a blatant grab. That's nothing to do with it being a contact sport. I agree it's soft by older standards but in todays game it's a penalty, even just the intent behind it it's a penalty. tug or brush he's grabbed him with his arm.
Red card!
Well that's that then
Well that's that then
Really can't decide who will win it. I really fancy Atletico to win this competition and I'm surprised they can't even make it past the round of 16. It all depends on how motivated Bayern is now...after you win the treble, you can only go down. PSG and City always get named as favourites every season, and apart from PSG's easy run to the final last season, both always disappoint in the later stage. I wouldn't be surprised if Real Madrid wins it again. It will be kind of funny and miraculous.
Game on at the Allianz.
Incoming "Spanish football is turd" thread?
Rudiger is an embarrassment
Rudiger milked that more than Lamela vs Martial.
That's not a red.
Chelsea look so organised. Altetico barely had a sniff.
Now that is a blatant foul.
Rudiger should be ashamed of himself. Cheat.
The ref is a massive idiot.
Just came to reply to you after seeing that red, thought it was a contact sport?
Pathetic. Simulation is becoming a condoned activity almost.
Now Savic for Atletico is sent off...after no penalty claims for Atletico in the first half, Atletico now down to 10. There's an elbow thrown out, but that's not a red card.
That is disgraceful. Barely a nudge.
feck all in that for me. More a nudge with the elbow.
Rudiger about to become UFC BW champion out there
Should be a straight red and minimum 3 game ban for that shit. Worst thing in the game
It’s funny the BT commentators have been taking the piss over the OTT acting from Atleti players like Suarez and Lodi then a Chelsea player does this. Uncomfortable.
Absolutely pathetic by Rüdiger. Clown.
Very good results in fairness
Would have liked Chelsea to get knocked out but can't stand this athletico football. How do their fans enjoy this brand of football?
Savic stupid. Rudiger milking it.
It's an intentional elbow. Of course it's a red. Rudiger probably milks it for all its worth but that doesn't change anything
Nice bit of attention seeking from Thiago Silva there 
Atletico have been absolutely atrocious
Absolutely. Bayern likely get PSG or Madrid ffs.
That camera shot of Savic walking down the dark tunnel alone.
