De Paul and Grizzie out and if this goes to penalties it's a bad omen for Aleti.
Correa should have pass to Alvarez, what a way to blow a chance

UEFA Champions League Round of 16 - 4/3/25 - 12/3/25

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
And in great form too
Yeah but they had the easiest tie by a fine margin.
Second half wasn't as good a watch in terms of football, but enthralling all the same.
Having flashbacks of Oblak in that penalty shootout against Real. Barely moving. Atletico need to win this in the 30
Who do they play next?
Vini's missed penalty might have some impact on Real's pen takers.
I see Oblak saving a few if it goes down to pens
Nothing is more fustrating in a tight match, teams trying to make something happen, than players going down, and we have to wait 2 minutes to get player off the field.
I obviously understand they are tired, having cramps, but still, just kills the flow.

Except for the penalty did Real have any other hallway good scoring opportunity?
Unless he decides to go elsewhere. I don't think he'll have a lack of suitors, regardless of what people on here think of him.
Thats a tough one
Yep. Going bed instead of another 30 mins of that.
Nope. They're lucky to make it to extra time, sadly this means they'll win it somehow now
Extra time should be one period of 20 minutes
The break in the middle is pointless
I don’t see anyone better than villa going for him tbh. He’s clearly on the decline, wants huge wages and doesn’t score goals.
Heh. With his team up 9-2, Raheem Sterling gets a yellow card in the 93rd minute and misses the quartersfinals.
Advertising boards on the touch lines rise up out of the floor at full time and the ball stays in play until someone scores.
Liverpool
Holy crap Oblak. World class
better than any pass I’ve seen Onana make, and he’s not even a ‘ball playing gk’
The atmosphere sounds fantastic.
PSG.
He is doing what we've been told to get from Onana
This is definitely going to penalties.
I'll be absolutely stunned if Atleti get over their Madrid voodoo and win a shootout here.
Stopping the game because the lad had cramp is ridiculous
Dave!!
You might be right. He’s refined his game - he’s not as explosive as before, but he’s still making an impact. Whether clubs better than Villa will come calling remains to be seen.
I assumed Azpilicueta had retired by now.
By refined you mean he's lost pace and pretty much stopped scoring and assisting?
Atletico never getting over this Real Madrid hump are they? This one, like the finals has been there for them.... they've soaked it up again, and actually generated plenty to win.
Hope I'm wrong... but this happens every time

Him being suspended isnt really a big loss for Chelsea though, and as a plus Raheem will be fully rested to face the mighty Ipswich 3 days after the first leg.
Oblak has the distribution we thought we were getting when we signed Onana
Can't wait their unbelievable luck finally runs out.
Came across to me like the kind of injury a player feigns when they don't want to take a pk
Atletico host Real again on Sunday in La Liga
This definitely isn't boring!
Nope, they've got Barca at home Sunday night.
