to be fair... Atalanta are truly awful defensively. that it isn't 5-2 is beyond me.

It's more of how the way they play then defense. They play a high risk offense exposing them at the backto be fair... Atalanta are truly awful defensively. that it isn't 5-2 is beyond me.
they can play a high press and not be so bad in the back. but as I said- they're truly awful defensively.It's more of how the way they play then defense. They play a high risk offense exposing them at the back
And I guess the Clock has struck midnight for Atalanta
Watched it in the background...pretty rough, sloppy viewing.Covid victims Dallas and Nashville open up MLS season tonight, 8:30 on ESPN+
Tyler Adams will score 43 goals, so it should be an easy RB victory.I thought tonight (Atlético v. Leipzig) would have been one of the better matches of the knockouts before Timo Werner left Leipzig but it should still be decently contested. Will just be that much more difficult for RBL to break down the Madrid's defense. Either 1-0 Atlético or 0-0 the whole way and go to penalties.
Quick trivia question for you all (I had to look it up because I was curious)...Tyler Adams will score 43 goals, so it should be an easy RB victory.
gonna throw some spaghetti out there before Andy, Scoob or Eephus chime in with the winner:Quick trivia question for you all (I had to look it up because I was curious)...
Who is the first and only American to be a part of a UEFA Champions League winning squad?
And he wasn't even selected for the final match so not sure if it counts in your eyes...
I am pretty sure this is the right answer.Kirovski?
It's not the wrong answer.I am pretty sure this is the right answer.Kirovski?
Bravo, bravo. I've always been a lurker in this thread despite following the EPL and UCL pretty closely and some of your guys' footy knowledge is damn impressive.Kirovski?
All those solo runs are the same though -- where the runner repeatedly takes advantage of defenders getting there a half-step late and touches it behind them. Always feel like those are more terrible defense than anything. Maradonna's, Clint Mathis's, this one -- all the exact same thing IMO. Not saying there's not skill involved, but I don't think those are in the same ballpark as Suarez's (except in rarity).

Not really. The quality of the play was only OK in this match. Atleti was late to the second ball a lot of the time, and did little to put pressure on RBL until Felix came on. They missed Correa for sure. Carrasco doesn't work hard enough either.Man these two matches so far have been awesome.

Can't fault RBL though. Their center backs were great (except for getting beat and giving up a penalty). Well coached with a good gameplan, but not likely to have enough talent to overpower bigger clubs.

we all understood what you were talking about.Was talking in terms of late drama deciding both.
NOPEwe all understood what you were talking about.
WRONG THREAD guy clearly didn't.
yeah... the talent doesn't seem there individually- especially without Werner. RB has their smartly shaped, direct attacking system, which definitely works to make the sum greater than the parts... but only if everybody's on the same page and they get some players to step up. With the way Paulsen played today, and when Ju-Wow/Joe/Joao came on and took the game over, I figured RBL were done.Not really. The quality of the play was only OK in this match.
