To be fair, Real Madrid deserved the win. Atletico was parking the bus the whole damn game.

Deserved win for Real! I think their CL journey will be over soon if they face Bayern or Barca though.

I don't like Real Madrid, but I'm glad they won. They totally deserved it. Atlético didn't offer football at all, it was awful.

What is the etymology of the expression "parking the bus"?

and it's really a dumb expression. How about "defending" lol

I know what it means. I just wanted to see if Mourinho had brought the term to England.

It's a very popular Portuguese soccer term.

My guess is sides load up in a bus to go to the stadium so if you "park the bus" you are not there to play, you are there to have everyone near your own goal to prevent the other side from scoring.

Oh yeah. He did. Every fucking game now I hear it.

That Barca v Chelsea game was fantastic.
