As predicted Mourinho has made this an absolute snorefest. Chelsea only wants one thing from this game and that's a 0-0 result. I like Atletico's direct style of play but their crosses are so easy to deal with for Cahill and Terry.

I hope for a goal from either team. It will make the second leg a more interesting affair.

Wonder if this could go 0-0 over the two legs plus ET?

I'd put some money on it. Simeone and Mourinho are similar in their approach. Both are defensive-minded bastards. It's a bit understandable in Simeone's case when you look at the kind of players he has at his disposal but Mourinho really should be gunning for a victory here.

Mourinho would choke at the thought of going all out for the win in the second half.
It's asking an awful lot of Torres to expect him to do anything damaging when starved completely of decent supply.

Klaus

I just hope that Atletico will get a goal or two tonight, because they're not going to score in the return leg in London.

Class acting from Luiz

This game is awful for a CL semi final. Typical Jose trying to stifle the game to death.

Segway

Yep. Horrendously boring. Not worthy of a CL semi-final in my book.

Segway

Diego gets a chance and there are literally two outfield players (Cole and Terry) acting extra goal keepers on the line for Chelsea 😆

y va marquer

Right, I've decided I'm dead against the idea of either of this lot winning the CL.

Arda is quality

Qwiss

It's a pity Bayern and real didn't get to knock these 2 out.

Mourinho certainly knows how to dullify a game

Qwiss

Chelsea are going to try this again vs Liverpool. Won't work though, Liverpool are far better than Athletico.

Kurtz

Terrible game.

lorddulaarsenal

Madrid will win the champs weague

IBL

Arda has spiced things up a bit

😆 now Luiz injures Terry

y va marquer

😆
At least now there's the entertainment of watching Terry attempt to finish the game with a broken toe

They are but Liverpool are a team which prefers to press quick and counter on teams, when teams sit back they don't find it so easy to break through.
