Champions League 19/20

Atalanta are relentless. 4-0. Beautiful counter.
I would hate to defend against them

goon

Dele 😆

It's all falling apart.

Omigod, what a gorgeous curler from Freuler!!!! 3-0

The Swiss deeplying midfielder we should have signed.

It also helps that Valencia are playing with two jokers at the back in Diakhaby and Mangala.

Freuler's 3-0 goal:

Valencia pull one back through Cheryshev.

Bad mistake by Atalanta centerback Palomino.

it's part of the package. They score way more than their rivals in Serie A. They also concede more 🙂

goon

Is this the same Nkunku we were supposed to sign from PSG?

mentalvortex

Yes.

Klaus

They're 4-1 up and they're taking off a centreback for a striker 😆

How can anyone not love this team?

I switched right as this sub was being made, but did they go from 343 to 433 with the sub? Isn't that more defensive in the end?

This tie better be the last we see of Spuds in the Champions League.

Spurs and Liverpool are more or less where they are when we thought we'd seen the last of them in last year's competition. Hope Leipzig have paid their witch doctor

Atalanta have the best sharp shooters ever. Pretty much all of their midfielders scores beauties week in week out.

I couldn't tell for sure because both teams were all over the place, but definitely looked like two strikers up top to me. My guess is they switched to a 4-4-2 shape when Zapata came on.

As a neutral, you'd want Uefa to get stuffed, and see a team like this win the damn competition. Let them beat Dortmund in the final

Their team cost £32 million to assemble and their wage bill is 35 million euro, Claude. Them finishing 3rd last season was one of the most remarkable achievements in Europe. Them winning Champions League this season would be as big an upset as Leicester winning Premier League. It's probably not going to happen but I'd love to see it.

Claudius

Yeah. They’re living on a fistful of dollars. You also have to feel for them when you consider that they’ve had to trade away a lot of players like Cristante, Kessie and Mancini. The first two barely played but Mancini could’ve been a fixture on a team that needs defensive rigidity.
