TheBoyBeevers Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Would have loved to have seen Simeone on the touch line with Warnock for a game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be like a game of FIFA where the other team can't even foul you. Always devestating to see that model professional Suarez upset with a defeat.

SiJ Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 No idea how Savic managed to stay on. That Felipe seemed on a mission to wipe out Foden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBoyBeevers Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Fair play to City though- <insert some cliche to do with winning ugly> Athletico arguably the bigger test for them out of the two Madrid teams IMO. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) I can't imagine they play like that week in week out in La Liga. After all, they are more often than not one of the top three sides in the league these days. Appreciate they want to level the playing field against sides who are probably better than them, but it does get to farcical levels.

Bluestripe Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Huff n puff Atletico All emotion - perfect-Simeone….mismanaged it Why didn’t he press MUCH earlier…it clearly caused a problem for Citeh (I felt that same “why didn’t he ” after the playoffs v Hudds and ESPECIALLY after PO final v Hull) Simeone is a dirty Argy piece of sh*it and I hope he doesn’t feel too bad about his exit… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Tbf, that's probably one of the most impressive performances I've seen from Pep's City side. The reason for that is it was so unlike them. Usually, they are just going to blow teams away with great football. Tonight, they battled it out and grinded out a narrow win against a horrific team to play.

The style, the atmosphere, everything…City have always carried a softness and a vulnerability in CL football, so it was quite impressive watching them put Athletico away tonight IMO.

Box_Man Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Complete anti football from Simeone, they’ve got some very talented players and he wanted to make it a war. Everytime Atletico went forward they looked dangerous yet in the last 15mins completely lost their heads just like their manager trying to kick people rather than play football. Ref should have sent off Savic as well disgraceful footballer. Hope UEFA fine the manager & the players involved at the end. That’s no advert for Champions league football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluestripe Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Disappointed that a pretty-haired Jack Grealish didn’t appear. EXACTLY what a grubby Simeone reacts to! A blonde-highlighted coiffured top, with a (Ukraine-coulred) headband…..that would have sealed it! At least TWO red cards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendaryswan Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 City will be lucky to come away from that game with just a couple of injuries, proper 70s stuff from AM, good watch to be fair for 0-0 draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
