True and that's most likely the only way for team like AM to play against likes of Barca and Bayern and not every team can pull it off. That said, I'm not a fan of this tactics and I don't want to see everything won that way. Especially with this dumb away goal rule..

Me neither. Does make me laugh when United fans talk about Van Gaal not doing it the "Man U way" (whatever the fuck that means) and then they say they want Mourinho or Simeone.... ha.

Hah I was just thinking about this today 😆 I don't know what they expect with Jose or Simeone. Sure, LvG's system hasn't took off yet but what to expect with those players really. If you know about LvG's history and thoughts about football you know he needs time to make things click, then you see good attacking football and results imo.

Here comes the Madrid Derby.



Hard to like Atletico with their play style and a manager like Simeone.

Atletico Madrid v Bayern Munich
Manchester City v Real Madrid

I thought it was going to be Madrid v Madrid semis and then EUFA would hope for Real v Bayern final... you know to bring in the viewing figures.

So Atlético will lose the final against City or Real in a heartbreaking way.

Everything going as expected so far.



I really hate Atletico. With all my heart. The fact that they're on the finals is just.. painful. I don't want this playstyle to win, anything.

Simeone is truly insane. I can see him getting suspended for the final.



Bayern should rebuild their attack on quality not quantity. They lost so much edge with the way Guardiola handled the team's attack, just not proportional to the chances on so many occasions.



Pep fucked up the first game, today Bayern was much better and won the game. I've always hated this away goal rule ffs, you play two games and goal is a goal! 😋 But it is what it is..

I do like like alot of Atletico players, Griezmann, Filipe Luiz, Godin etc are fantastic. Still, for the sake of creative football I hope City or Real win this year. City I prefer.

Wrong.

The fact that Atletico can put away teams like Bayern and Barca who rely so much on boring possession football, buying the league and the plague on football that is simulation is fantastic.

Fuck Pep. Fuck tiki-taka football. Fuck buying titles.



                            

Madrid will win their 11th 100%...
