Real Madrid 2-1 Athletico

This is still 50-50. Athletico looked the better team before the Diaz goal (out of nothing).

Madrid have sooooo much quality going forward but the are easy to play through. We have a good chance of causing an upset if they go through

    I think we're through boys!

    What you’re seeing with Calafiori and MLS is what I’ve been saying these last 2 years. That role is hard to play. I hope folks will be patient.

    Wow, what a win and what a performance. I've been critical of him but Odegaard came back to life today.

    Twitter was absolutely dead going into this game as well. I think recent PL results have taken the wind out of our sails but there is still something to fight for this season.

      Last time we won 1-7 away in Europe, we won a European trophy.

      Calafiori what a maverick!

        JazzG fuck twitter. This is CL, fresh tournament, new opportunity, all to play for.

        Could be a blessing in disguise we are out of the title race, we can really put all our eggs in winning CL.

        We can play Kiwior, Nathan Butler, Sterling, Neto etc in the return leg which will be nice. Mikel won't do that but it will allow significant resting for those who need it.

        Tactics Go full George Graham - keep it tight and nick one. And practice penalties every day.

        Big Willie oh, he's a fucking arsehole. Always has been. Still the greatest player I've ever seen though.

        Edit: maybe fucking arsehole is a bit strong, I take that back. I'm not a fan though, obvs.
