Champions League 19/20

Neymar with 16 successful dribbles, the highest number since Opta started keeping track in 2009. The amount of people still believing Mbappe is the best player on this team is getting smaller by the week.

Honestly felt so bad for atalanta yesterday, what a way to lose it

banduan

Neymar was unbelievable, but also greedy.

Actually that was fake. There was something about hearing the sirens in Bergamo during the COVID crisis with all the elderly dying, and it reminded him of growing up during war, and he was severely affected by it. Could be a cover for the story about his life, but from what I've seen a reputable newspaper had published something (Corriere or Republica).

EDIT: Found it: https://www.corriere.it/sport/20_agosto_01/ilicic-atalanta-giallo-dell-assenza-soldati-morti-bergamo-ferita-3c4dc0f2-d367-11ea-8623-4e2dec5054a7.shtml

This is the story that I've read too. Lost his father in the war and has never fully recovered from it, Bergamo becoming the epicentre of the Covid outbreak did the rest

Starting lineups for Atletico vs RB Leipzig

Atletico - Oblak; Tripper, Savic, Jimenez, Renan Lodi; Hector Herrera, Saul, Koke, Marcos Llorente, Carrasco; Diego Costa

Leipzig - Gulacsi; Klostermann, Halstenberg, Upmecano, Angelino; Laimer, Sabitzer, Kampl, Nkunku, Dani Olmo; Yoousef Poulson

Claudius

Our future center back Upamecano is about to play friends. And Sabitzer. Hope Raul brought his checkbook.
Partey out with injury.
Will also be interesting to see how Nkunku does.

Wilson

Partey and Upamecano in a spine with Leno and Auba. Fun to ponder after catching them in a few games.

Clrnc

How is Leipizig absolutely dominating?

Wilson

They're quite easy on the eye.

mentalvortex

I find it quite funny that Savic who was absolutely mediocre in Premier league is now part of the meanest defensive lineup in Europe.

TambourineMan

To be fair City barely gave him a chance and he was extremely young when he was in the PL.

JazzG

Upamecano having a great half so far.

Only realised today that Werner has already joined Chelsea, surely he’d have wanted to seen their CL campaign out first?

Claudius

Loving Upamecano. He’s like a tank charging around. Beast / unit who can drive past forwards

goon

Upamacano looks fantastic.

mentalvortex

Also it is a bit strange that City keep loaning out Angelino while persisting with Mendy/Zinchenko.

He has looked very handy for Leipzig this season, both in CL and Bundesliga.

Claudius

What a well-worked goal. Beautiful

goon

Well deserved lead. Atletico have been awful.

Clrnc

Upamecano is brilliant. Pure tank.

Great header by Olmo. Leipizig fully deserves it, utterly dominant

I’m still confused how people say he’s not good enough and guys like Gabriel are a better bet. Seriously. We are better off saving some money for when his release clause kicks in next year. I think it’s now £45m. It’s a no brainer. Tell him you want him and give him a big signing fee.

goon

Seriously he looks twice the player VVD is in this performance. Superb anticipation, has won the ball countless times and very good on the ball too.

I wonder if there’s still an outside chance of us signing him.
