Watched the highlights of their last UCL group game. I suggest everyone take a look if not done yet. They are a systematically setup of fraud, cheating, without any sportsmanship.
Totally cnut!

Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid | Build-up Thread | Return leg: March 15
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I'm actually looking forward to the match, definitely better than facing PSG again for the second year in a row.
If we can't even beat Atletico Madrid over 2 legs, do we even deserve to be in the final?

They're going to be a bitch of a side to play against, but this isn't the Atleti of a few years ago. They're having a poor to average season as things stand, and they can be beaten.
This is going to be horrible viewing.
We do what we want.
I'll forward your question to Michael Owen.

Agree, hoping Varane & Cavani start that game, their experience will be key to us

First draw was a feckup. That’s why there was a redraw
It always amuses me how English football fans never learn that their ethics of ”honesty” are grounded in reformist Christianity and not if people are good human beings or not. Its better to stand your ground and break a leg than to play the rules etc

When will the dates be confirmed?
Hard to believe it's 30 years ago.
In the 1st leg the opening goal was a error from Schmeichel, at 1-0 Ince had a goal ruled out for offside when onside and Webb missed a sitter. Atletico then scored two late goals basically ending the tie after the first leg.
And we could be even shittier by then also.
But yes, we have no idea what we or them will look like. But we still have to fancy our chances
I believe it's the week of the 15th 16th Feb for the first leg, but confirmation if we play the Tuesday or Wednesday still to come through though.
On a team where he gets zero service? Hopefully will be firing on ally cylinders by then.
They've got at least one suspension for the first game haven't they?
Really dislike watching them play. The shithousery in next level.

Well they do have Suarez in their number, so no surprise there.
He has 12 goals for us this season I think he’ll do just fine.
Would have preffered PSG to be honest. Against those guys it would have been a football game, against Atletico it's a battle of attrition and Simeone is the king of shithousery, timewasting and complaining to the refs.
Ah shit, forgot about that arsehole.
We've been training for this for years. I know we can get through it.
Simeone’s Atletico have had hatricks scored against them on only four occasions, all four by Ronaldo.
If not for him I would be worried about this tie.

Guess same goes for Ronaldo!!!
Without the away goals rule I feel much more confident, specially against Atletico.
They always play to get the 0-0 at home, get one lucky goal away and fake injuries for the rest of the game.

Cristiano is licking his lips right now!
They used to be good and anti-football, now they’re just anti-football. At least 15mins of the 90mins will be dives, ref pressure, fake injuries and time wasting.
Why do you think it's the first week rather than the second?
And city still manage to get an easy draw even when it’s re done. The desperation for city to finally win the CL is mad!
A tough draw in my view. They are masters of the dark arts.
True but we have their kryptonite upfront.
That's a fine draw. Atletico are having a poor year.

It will be incredibly dull as they are the most boring team in Europe and we will probably play a safe first approach, but we have a chance.
The last few years, every cup draw makes my feel we are that dude in the Social Distortion song Bad Luck.
Bring it on. Atletico of previous years would have scared me but they're out of sorts this year and look more vulnerable imo.
