Bale hits the wall.
How hasn't Pepe scored? :haha:
Fuck, how much do these useless bastards get paid? Why can't they cross a ball? Crossing used to be the bread and butter of wide men, now it's a miracle if you see two decent crosses in a match.
Kroos off, Isco on.
Pepe sorts Sterling out.
Sterling Ł50mill :doh:
As cynical as it gets from Carvajal. :haha:
Navas saves from De Bruyne.
0-0 FT. :lol:
A bit crap.
Very poor.
Is it just me that thinks Eboooooooue was probably the best crosser of the ball we had in the last ten years.Quote:

I've got Jonathan Pearce's commentary. :sarcy:
Atleti 1-0 Bayern, SAUL!!!!
What a goal!
Nearly 1-1 from Vidal's header.
Sort it out Atleti!
Better call Saul!
Three Bayern players laid out. :haha:
Interesting that Bayern have only won once away from home in the knockout stages under the reign of Ming the Merciless
And depressingly and predictably enough it was against us
Atletico are like a small dog nipping at your heels.
Side netting off Douglas Costa's freekick.
Athletico is a prime example of what you can do with a good manager and players who play with passion.
There's playing with passion and being cunts, Atletico too often adopt the latter mentalityQuote:

If we are talking about clubs punching above their weight have always prefered watching Dortmund to Atletico
Easier to score in a Convent than against this Athletico team
1-0 HT.
Bayern Munich are another side that will resist shooting when a pass can be made.Quote:

Not sure Bayern have shown enough to suggest they can adapt to play that way, they have panicked a lot on the ball.
Seems crazy to suggest it but would Pep have to be considered as somewhat of a failure if he didn't win the CL with Bayern? Their domestic form isn't really a measure of anything these days.
Simeone is a genius the way he sets them up, if he had money who knows what magic he could produce.Quote:

Imagine if he was given money to build a team.
Alaba smashes the bar from miles out!
Yup there's no real competition to them domestically, they are head and shoulders above everyone else.Quote:

Dortmund and Atletico both have a similar problem, both can be worn down as their game relies on high intensity pressure
Dortmund with high pressing, Atletico with closing down and nipping at your heels.
If you play it cagey and withstand the barrage than both are beatable.
Aesthetically I just prefer Dortmund
I think a side can be tough to beat and easy on the eye
Bayern are really dominating now.
Lewandowski shot, just across goal.
Coman hauled off, Ribery on.
What a game :bow:
Watching a game from the comfort of my tv for once lol
Torres just dropped the Ashes!
Koke shoots from the rebound but easy for Lahm.
Neuer. :lol:
Booked.
Fernandez scuffer on the volley.
Benatia and Vidal both scuff it.
