The other games today 2019/20

All credit to Gio Reyna for the assist there

Outrageous goal.

Not sure much longer Atletico can hold on without conceding. Surely they’re going to need another 1 at least, without conceding an away goal, going back to Anfield?

 

They’re slowing it down well enough so far IMO. Surely going to tire though given the front two aren’t the best at holding it up or providing an outlet.

 

Quite enjoy seeing an organised team defending well and nullifying a very good attacking team. Some think it’s shithouse defending but it’s just good defending, disciplined, organised and functional. Love it.

It's not just that they are defending well though, they are absolutely brilliant in possession when they do get it. It makes us look 3rd division in comparison.

Lovely player, Partey. Saul doing Gabi’s old job.

I think he might be abit special..

Hopefully this is allowed.

Haaland's take is everything you want your striker to do in that situation. Fucking put your laces through that son.

Been class tonight, MOM for me.

Mcmananan shouldn’t be allowed to commentate on these lot - ridiculously biased!

It’s almost as if they’ve got a clear plan and a manager who can communicate it to his squad and drill them to execute it.

Our cunt - “let’s play”

Meunier and Verratti both suspended for the second leg. Emre Can was a good pickup for Dortmund, probably been the best player tonight. Him and Witsel are a really solid midfield pairing alongside all the attacking players they got.

the compact, disciplined defending is fucking brilliant to watch man. Rafa taught me that it's class when it's done right.

Old school Atleti that, glorious.

Cue the English media complaints because they didn’t let their beloved have a shot on target.

Liverpool taught a lesson this evening.

Think Liverpool will be happy enough to not concede a second tonight. Should be an interesting second leg

Atleti showing the world how its done. Could have scored 1 or 2 more too!

Anfield will be rocking, Klopp would have the players well up for it too.

Need a strong ref in the 2nd leg.

How many times did you see them hoofing it long in desperation? They protected the ball and won free kicks when they got it. For a fairly limited team in attacking options that is quite an art in itself.

Liverpool and PSG will win through but at least it’s mildly interesting for a bit.

i'm not nit picking them but they were cheaply giving it away a ton in the first half and many in the second half but i mean you're obviously right my man, they were awesome today - all of them. loved it.

Love that Haaland's made the step up and maintained his ridiculous scoring record without missing a beat, kid's special.

He really is, I had doubts that he was just a RVN lite having a purple patch but he has everything a striker needs.

Some dodgy reffing there tbh but Atleti were immense in defending, can't recall one meaningful attempt on goal by Liverpool. Second leg is going to be very interesting.
