Zinchenko scores 
UEFA Champions League Round of 16 - 4/3/25 - 12/3/25
- Thread starter SilentWitness
- Start date
West Brom and Crystal Palace legend Gallagher!
Narrow affair like yesterday, will it also go to pens?
Watching Madrid play versus United is like when you change the default sprint speed setting on FIFA to the fastest!
It would be vintage Simeone to score the goal they needed within 30 seconds and then shithouse their way to penalties for the next 120 minutes
Really hoping atletico pull through.
Madrid are his weakness, never managed to pull it off against them.It would be vintage Simeone to score the goal they needed within 30 seconds and then shithouse their way to penalties for the next 120 minutes
The pace and intensity of the Madrid game is unreal. Brilliant stuff
Gallagher, forced out of Chelsea, now scoring big CL knockout goals vs Real Madrid. Love to see it. Buzzing for him.
Bah, can't both teams lose?It would be vintage Simeone to score the goal they needed within 30 seconds and then shithouse their way to penalties for the next 120 minutes
I didn't see the goal, only got home when it was 5 minutes in, but he's playing really well. His workrate and positioning is exceptional and he's broken forward a couple of times too.,
Red card Bruges, good call by the referee.
That's that then, switching over to the Madrid game.

Game on between Arsenal and PSV...!
I'd 8-2 be a PSV fan
Whenever I’ve watched Vinicius, he’s always been very ‘meh’.
Had he not played for Real, he’d be nowhere near the Balon D’Or chat.

Always felt like scoring in one of those derbies would be fecking immense as a Brit.
He has been very clutch in UCL, guess you just watched the wrong games.
We so need a player that can carry the ball between the lines. Stark how we just can't do it.
I always think it's a brave call to make a statement like this about a world class player 20 minutes into a game.
Couldn’t just be a case of you anecdotally not catching him at his best rather than everybody else being wrong?
Bellingham really is just a mean-spirited Aaron Ramsey
His performance at Anfield when they won 5-2 was when I started to sit up and take notice of him being a future Ballon d'Or winner.
Atletico must transform this dominance in goals, if not...we all know, Tibu great as almost always
Always felt like Griezman would step up to top 10 in the world levels...but didn't. Ridiculously smooth player, would have loved him as our 7.
Years after his hype has passed, he has become quite underrated hasn't he. Ridiculously good player.
Another great save by Tibu and Julian is on fire...yet they must score
If Atletico can score again before half time, this will have been the perfect European half of football. They've completely shut Real down, haven't given them a second on the ball, kept the perfect shape and had all the best chances. Just need to capitalise now.
Yeah I think that's right. Kind of forgotten but still so good.
Such a good quality game. Alvarez has great movement. Gallagher good too. Atletico defend so well individually and as a team.
Unreal distribution from Oblak there.
What a kick from Oblak. World class!
World class from Oblak.
Griezmann has evolved into such a intelligent number 10. Always finds a teammate with his passes, if necessary with a first touch, no ball retention or bs. Hes so good at the free role
One of the glazers greatest hits, never singing the guy when he wanted to come to us

Great game so far, hoping Atlético can pull it off.
that's what good distribution looks like.
That was a great watch. Hopefully Atletico don't come to regret not making the most of dominating that half.
Real going out would be fantastic for the competition. I think Bayern, Inter, Barca or PSG if that happens.
Havent you heard? Onana was brought for his supreme ball distribution skills
