I like that the ref booked Wirtz (players are generally spoiled babies) but did he book the Atalanta player for that tackle? Surely?!

It’ll be hard to keep this press going for the full 90 mins.
Even funnier fact: the goal they conceded in the FA cup game and the goal they conceded in the CL final were pretty much the same goal
Thinking here how referees in Europe are so much better compared to Premier League. Different quality.
Man Utd v Braga 2012/13 Champions League
Both got a yellow, yeah.
I’ve always thought he was a good player
Think we bought him for around 7.5m and sold him for 22.5m so there was profit in there but baffling that we never played him that much. He only got 30 mins here and there so never got a chance to build up rhythm with us.
It'll be equally hard to Bayer to escape it for the full 90 mins. Advantage of playing straight up man to man
Atalanta have the physical edge so far.
Wirtz struggle to get going so far.
That's the Xhaka we all love.
Frimpong ain't the answer to our right back issues..he is same position as Olise
Back to the drawing board on a right back
Back to the drawing board on a right back
From the build up. Once was a ball to the wing for a cut back, the other a through ball down the middle, but the build up was exactly the same, from a throw in, Chelsea did the exact same scheme and City made the exact same mistakes in defending it
Far too many people underestimating Atalanta tonight.
Scamacca looks slow as feck. almost as if he's playing under that freeze curse from Diablo.
Leverkusen passes are all over hit.
This Ederson guy looks good. Hope we are in for him.
There's the Scamacca I remember from west ham
Sticking out like a sore thumb in this match despite that pass. Plays like Weghorst.
So, what does Frimpong even do?
I don't watch Leverkusen often.

What doesn't he do.
Lookman's 2nd goal was like prime Neymar
Been linked with him quite a few times the past six months. Looks like a good player.
But scores more.
Leverkusen look really poor. I'm guessing they're not used to the level of defensive pressing from Atlanta? Not watched them before.
He's definitely not a right back from what I can tell (I also dont watch Leverkusen often/ ever).
Even when they use VAR, it's faster
Hopefully there's something in it. Like what I see.
Cracker of a game this, had a sneaking feeling for Atalanta.
Like Lookman, great story, wouldn't mind him here.
From what I've watched, Leverkusen needs a central striker. They're getting easily stopped by Atalanta
Fair enoughI'll admit my scouting of that guy is limited to his time at WH and this match
Scores. Has 9 league goals. Not bad for a right midfielder
Funny how people call Serie A shite. It's having a bit of a renaissance in recent years.
Disasterclass by Leverkusen so far. Bummer, really liked their unbeaten run.
Fair play to Atalanta who came out guns blazing.

I swear that I read this every other week.
Pep has won 24 of the 27 finals he's been involved in.
That's an 88.8% finals record over nearly thirty games.
Where does the overthinking Pep idea stem from, because it sure isn't from the stats.
They have two on the bench. Xabi throwing the game for the usual dramatic finale.
Leverkusen can’t pass, can’t shoot. Done nothing right this game
