We're winning the champions league, calling it now. Ronaldo may be done in the pl, but it's in his DNA to score atletico
Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid | Build-up Thread | Return leg: March 15
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
A draw would be a decent result. Expecting a borefest.
I think we’re winning the Champions League this season.
They've conceded 2+ in 6 games in a row. We never score more than 1.
Stoppable force vs movable object

Please score Ronaldo and we will try forget about the last 6 games.
They successfully made current Barcelona look like actual Barcelona. Maybe they can do the same for us.
Man Utd will concede a minimum of three goals over the two games - so will come down to taking chances.
Suarez will bait Maguire
I think Jeremy Clarkson is winning a noble peace prize for solving climate change
Tasty match up. 2 teams that can give their opponent a better outcome than expected.
Man utd can only win the champions league, only if the finals is played in Mars.
So winning it in planet earth is impossible.

We're outsiders arnt we, 2nd favs I'd say no matter how Athletico are doing, ATM we can't score more than 1, and concede as well so this game probably going to pens, and we're shit at them. I'm realy looking forward to torture over 210 mins of drab football to watch Keepers not even attempt to save, because of the foot on line rule. Great for BT sport though.
There’s no way we don’t create a shit load of great chances against them
Just score!
Just score!
Fixed
Their season seems to be going as badly as ours; on similar points too. Have a feeling we might win this tie. Weirdly, it's the defence that's worrying me even more than the attack as I think it's going to be a low scoring tie anyway.
Atletico was kinda shit at penalty themselves in both scoring, and saving department? Most recently, in this on going game, where they missed their penalty and conceded 2 penalties. Not sure it would make you feel any positive. Just saying.
Bite surely?
We better enjoy it as we won't be in this competition next season
3-1 lost at away and a 2-1 lost at home. I'd put money on that
I was at the game in 1991 when we drew with them in the 2nd leg of a ECWC tie. Berndt Schuster scored for them and Sparky for us. We went down 1-4 on aggregate and that, if I remember rightly, is the only time we've played them in European competition. Ryan Giggs and Mike Phelan were in the team that night.
I predict a 2-1 loss away then 1-1 draw at OT. Out of another competition. Season down the shitter.
The thing that worries me is I think even in a poor season for them they're going to be a lot more streetwise than us. I can just see them playing the percentages, playing cynically, exploiting us with a clever set piece, taking one or two chances on the counter.
We are a very silly side at times, we don't think on our feet. I don't think we're going to be outclassed but I can still see us getting done.

She's only telling the truth
Haha not a chance in hell
So shite having our biggest game of the season coming up and feeling pretty empty about it.
1-0 Atleti, and comfortable.

This is going to be so painful to watch...
I am going to post this here again.
Here is Atletico's recent home record in the CL. No excuses.

Why even bother, we know the outcome. Atleast we can end the season soon.
In this past decade or so, we have Di Matteo, Tuchel, Zidane, Hansi Flick winning CL taking over mid season. So without expectation, just enjoy CL when we can. Why the negative?
I think we will do well in CL, even in Ole’s period we did show up in CL games when it mattered.
I’m predicting
0-0 (away)
2-1(home)

Who needs excuses when we all watched this group of United players failing to beat the bottom Premier league team and a championship side at home.I am going to post this here again.

We could play against League 2 opposition right now and it would end up 1-1. Beating Atletico will be extremely difficult.
Maybe but those guys better practice them, because someone once said the more I practice the luckier I get.
We will go through for sure.
I know we’re pretty bad right now, but Atletico are really really bad. We should be beating them.
We'll twat them 5 nil.
Mark thy words thee peasants.

Did we? We got knocked out the groups and this season was very bad in the Cl too.
I'm going to the 2nd leg and I'm excited and dreading it.
Atletico have had a similar season to ours so far, won 39 points out of 23 league games (we've won 40 out of 24 games), they're out of domestic cup as well and generally aren't great. They are slight favourites probably but we have a chance.
