A Champions League final between the two could be almost unbearable when you think about the media hype that will preceed it. I will just watch the game not the build up so that stuff don't bother me really. I just want to watch decent games. Look at the shite Atletico served up against City last week. Better to have a game when 2 teams go toe to toe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also enjoy seeing celebrated teams and managers fail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To paraphrase a tweet I saw at the weekend sky telling us a game between a team who's never won a European trophy vs a team with 1 league win since 1990 is the biggest rivalry vs the 2 greatest teams in history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to lack that over the top spark. Which maybe isnt a bad thing but makes it less of a hated rivalry If one of them crash down the table in 3/4 years it will probably be forgotten about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MakemineVanilla Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 When Real Madrid are playing Chelsea it is difficult to choose which team to support because the former had their debts paid by the king of Spain and the latter were funded with the confiscated assets of the Russian people, but there was no denying that it was a game of the highest quality last night. In the end I erred on the side of Chelsea, but the assist from Modric for the goal which took Real over the line was so brilliant, I couldn't begrudge them the win. When it comes to football, most of the art is in the assist, and that truly was great art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Prime example of how the 5 subs rule will just make the gap between top and bottom increase. No way Liverpool play that team if they can't make 5 subs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Never seen Atletico this open before, KDB had no one within 10m of him in the middle of the park then. Sure if they score it will be back to business as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Watching the Chelsea game yesterday and the City game today makes you realize just how far away we are from that quality. It’s like they are playing a different game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochheads twin Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I do like the look of the Atletico No.4, Kondogbia. If we could acquire a defensive midfielder of this stature and quality, what a difference it would make to our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
