Just for Atalanta's run alone, it would piss me off more than anything to see it end prematurely.

Fucking happy for them. They are doing amazing for their first time in champions league; no excuse whatsoever despite not spending shitload of money on players and manager unlike some team I know....

Was Marotta right to ignore Mou and hire Conte? :unsure:

two teams which won yesterday play with 3 at the back. I watched Leipzig match and they were really good. They have really quick players with good pace which needed just few touches to create a counter attack. Their left wingback Angelino created a lot of chances for his teammates... a good offensive wingback is someone who really Inter needs to be able to create more chances. I miss players in our squad who can win 1vs1 duel.
But the real king of this match was Dayot Upamecano. Great ball control, great passing, always with composure and moreover supported his teammates few times in attack phase when he moved forward. To be honest it was first time I was watching him and I was impressed. His contract is going to expire next year so I wonder what will be his next destination.

Tottenham on the other hand was really bad. I know they miss key players, but they didn't create any good opportunity in this match. Terrible performance.

Angeliño was that left back PSV had last season. Owned by Man City I think.

Leipzig got Angelino from Man City in January on deadline day. Loan with option to buy.

Upamecano is yet another promising French cb. He has already been linked with many top teams.

Atalanta into QFs but the season could be canceled soon as most of Europe is suspending leagues to stop the Coronavirus to spread all over.

Leipzig is really showing a great example how to play with 3-man at the back. I really hope we will reach this level next season.

I am extremly happy for Atalanta especially after Agnelli´s comment, how Atalanta should not be playing UCL because of one good season, and that they do not belong in UCL. Just showing what type of garbage and scum he is, disgusting.:yuck:

Angelino was too shit for City. Behind mendy and zinchenko. He is used to 4-in-the-back also. But was not very good defensively (similar to zinchenko tbf).

He hardly had any chance at City. I believed here, Pep just fucked up. Too spend so much money on full-backs and actually maybe the best was thrown away.

I agree with n4l. Angelino was a very poor defender in a back 4. Playing as a wingback helps hiding his weaknesses.

I dont know how Atletico are still in the match. Total domination from Liverpool and still only 1-0.

Looks like Atletico are just hoping to take it to a penalty shootout and pray for the best. I think Liverpool will defo score the winner if not now then in extra time.

I'm amazed how good the referee of LIV-ATM is, he is practically invisible, no bullshit calls, no stupid yellows, feels strange after the italian primadonna referees.

Well deserved. Atletico this season is basically Inter, mentality fails them every game they concede first. They had good first half, conceded and failed badly. Oblak is a god, the only reason why it went in ET and didnt lose like 4-0 in regular time.

And while typing its 2 - 1 lol

If Atleti qualifies, they can make him a statue in Madrid.
