Perfect start at the San Siro (shame that UEFA won't let them play at their home stadium) Atalanta lead 1-0

 

It's an entertaining game so far .

 

And Atalanta lead 2-0 at half time[emoji4]

This Atalanta side have been absolutely phenomenal in the way that they play... It’s incredible to think that they lost their first three matches in the group stage and still managed to qualify!

 

Top flight football needs more teams like Atalanta, Spurs, RB Leipzig, and the like...

 

Spurs are hanging on in London. Leipzig are relentless in their pursuit of the ball and forward play :thumbs:

Aye Maradona [emoji2356]

 

It is sad that he is enabled as much as what he is..however he is a grown man but obviously his dependence on substance is not something I can understand..one of the most gifted players ever to play the game..

 

That technical staff are however well trained

They are really entertaining to watch..can sometimes leaks goals because of it..Gasperini has done an incredible job there with very limited resources. I think those first 3 CL games were really just them adjusting to it all.

 

3-0 now[emoji4] and they won't stop either.. they have Valencia down and out and will push for more..

 

Yep

 

Now 4-0

 

Argh and they do leak a goal.. well they will have to go score 2 more to make up for that.[emoji6]

 

Leipzig are a very good side..very.

 

Oho Atalanta need to get it together now.. being very careless in defense.

 

 

TYPICAL Atlanta...4-1 up and they bring Zapata on.. lol..

Agreed. The Maradona clip is really indicative of the sad and sorry state of a former legend... As for his “assistants”, just gotta admire the drill :tsk: tsk:

[RoddieJ]

Hahahahaaaa... With RB Leipzig really under the kosh with Spurs attacking relentlessly, and what do they do... Stop play with half their team needing medical assistance... Hahahhaaaa

[Gen]

It ends 4-1 ... and Atalanta are in a really good position..Valencia do have an away goal

 

But I reckon Atalanta will at least get 1 or 2 even in the 2nd leg.

Cramps hey... it's a real thing[emoji6]

Bergamo have a population of 120k people.. Atalanta had 50 000 plus fans who followed their team to the San Siro tonight [emoji173]

Firstly, public transport from my town to stadium is superb, expensive but superb. 80 minutes from pub door to stadium. Brilliant.

 

RBL could have had more, Spurs should have had a goal or 2 as well. Entertaining game with spurs now having it all to do. Stadium itself is immense, it’s superb. My first ever champions league game. As to the atmosphere I thought it was a bit flat. RBL came out guns blazing and maybe this subdued the fans. Got noisy in the Last 20 when spurs were the aggressors. A great night out.

 

On another note, I spent time on the Anderlecht terraces with my dad growing up. Time to bring them back I reckon. I see united have applied for permission to allow it. I hope it works

All is def not well at Barca..there seems to be a lot of behind the scenes issues.. Bartomeo hiring g a company to spy on players and even Pep and then talks of running a negative propaganda campaign against them...YOH if true there is a lot wrong there.

Yeah, these issues at Barca just won’t go away so there must be something going down... “Where there’s smoke...”

 

It’s a pity though, because La Liga needs Barca to keep Real Madrid honest in the title race

Chelsea Spurs is the game of the weekend by a long way. Its personal and the special one would like nothing more than to clobber Chelsea and united. Then the issue about P4 to play for too, depending on the man city appeal.

 

Gonna be out with the family , hope to be in a pub somewhere to watch as this game will be televised here. 

[IceCreamMan]

So my namesake is man of the match and played like a legend to bury spurs. We should buy him at 5 million he would be good value. Hope to see more of him in CL,.

 

And CR just keeps rewriting the record books.

 

This Arvie, a lil braai , beer, rugby, football. Gonna be a great day.
