GWT: Champions League R16 Second Legs & QF Draw

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

The gap between Chelsea and Atletico? Fitness. Chelsea's team is not stronger technically or tactically. Just way fitter.

Based off form.

 

[Peen]

lool yes.

I dont know if he's been poor this year. Havent watched much La liga without Bein this year.

I hope Dazn one day gets La Liga rights. I find myself occasionally turning into Juve or Inter matches on weekends now and I would never really go out of the way to watch any non-Chelsea games outside of El Classico or other big games of consequence.

They had them up until last season. I dont see that changing any time soon. Ill be hoping on Fubo once Copa starts in the summer

Based off form.

PL sides have become a very tough match for La Liga teams as they have started to master the technical and tactical aspects to a similar level. Spanish teams can rarely match the running intensity, explosiveness, tempo or physical power of PL teams. That is a stereotype but very true and evident today.

 

[Peen]

Mendy has settled down again. Had an insanely good start and then a run of bad form and has gone back to being a calming presence.

Seems well liked and is on low wages.

 

[Peen]

Great effort from Reece James and good support by Ziyech to steal it.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Felt like Savic overcommitted there and Werner could have squeezed inside on him

 

[Peen]

That’s a pretty good hit from Rudiger

James had carrasco in his pocket probably a good sub

 

[AB13]

Another insanely good Kante performance

Or they just have better teams right now. La liga is clearly on the downside but this wont last.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

That's the first thing Joao Felix has done across the two legs

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Atleti are just zombies. Dead and buried. Never in it tbh.

Guy is adorable.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Simeonball

Given how many forwards have really thrived over the course of Simeone's decade, I find it hard to pin the blame on him alone.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Bye bye Stefan!

 

[Halladay]

Savic with a red.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

That's definitely an on purpose elbow, but that's a soft red

 

[Evilo]

Anyone can forsee a PSG/Chelsea matchup?
Seems so obvious right now... Tuchel, Thiago Silva, the previous encounters...

 

[hatterson]

That's an awful red card.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Wtf is that red. Kai is worse tbh.

Given how many forwards have really thrived over the course of Simeone's decade, I find it hard to pin the blame on him alone.

His forwards that thrive are usually developed for him. With felix he has to develop him and it won’t go well. Just ask Correa, Vietto and others.

Pls no

 

[Juve]

I guess Rudiger needs to be put on life support.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Lol Rudiger

 

[KlausJopling]

Clearly threw the elbow. The force is hard to tell probably want much(let’s assume it was nothing), but it’s still a stupid move.
