REAL MADRID VS ATLETICO MADRID PARTIDO EN VIVO / CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – JUEGA MBAPPE
You're literally just hoping on a moment of magic from Ronaldo though….that's what it may come down to. Because right now, I'd still say Atletico are better. Man U are just horrendous as a team.
50/50 match. Of course I believe we have the slight edge thanks to Ronaldo and his relationship with Atletico lol. We've been doing poor in the league for a while but so have Atletico
Cause united is better team than athletico Madrid
After transfer window Man utd will take it easy.
Manchester United can be the favourites if Ralf Rangnick signs a central defensive midfielder in January. Also, Raphael Varane will be back from injury which will make things a lot easier.
Difficult game ! Guys! If Manchester United get two or three players in january, it could be tough for Atletico but the same players for now, l don't think it will be easy !
who cares ???
Atletico & the rest of the la liga teams have ZERO chance of winning the champions league ?
this Cup is Citys, Liverpools, Bayerns or Chelseas.
It's a better draw than PSG of course. It's in favor of United.
1. Pogba and Varane will back.
2. United have a new manager and will play in a very different way.
3. Packing the bus will not work for ATM if United press them. So United will score goals.
4. And oh…CR7 loves ATM so much.
5. Away goals have been removed. The team with most goals go through.
This just shows how stupid Ale is. Look at the way Atletico play and he's saying they are better than Manchester United
5th Hat-trick for CR7 loading????
man messi has 32 goals v atleti man
I do understand Ale's pov. They are a team of fighters mostly with the forwards calmly waiting for scoring. How is this Man u defence going to contain Felix when he went around Real so easily. They have always thrived on their underdog image itself knocking the big names out in KO stages. They have even knocked Pep's Bayern and Klopp's Liverpool. And Man U is simply not at the level yet. Look at Athleti vs Porto. They had 37 % possession only throughout the match and they kept their style of play throughout the match. Even with Liverpool they nearly took the points if not for Alisson and that Red card. It will be an interesting match but Man u have to improve a lot in this duration.
My experience in UCL says. This type of matches always brings something exciting
By the time February comes rangnick will have implemented his style and the team should be firing bin dipper nicol being negative about united what a surprise I think united will be fine. Athletico Madrid hate being pressed rangnick loves pressing teams if we take our chances we will comfortably go through
It’s 50/50 actually.
Has Ale Moreno ever said anything smart about football?
Another video where the nickname Ale MORONo comes in clutch??
?
This bald guy always choose someone that is in the opposition of Ronaldos face. I laughed 4 times every time he makes such bet. He’s a dool
Why is everyone saying rn like the match is next week??
man u will win for sure
Athletico Madrid????
Not surprised these clowns never give United a chance
In a normal scenario,Atletico would beat united and have been bigger than United in the last decade, but im confident for united only because of CR7 and David De Gea. Also if Varane comes back and gets a run of games then united can beat them. Rest all the overpaid united stars need to step up.
Ronaldo vale más que todo tu país, yeah we have more fire power
Who’s this American Donny! United should be up and running come end of February
Don’t forget the GOAT always performs vs atleti
Look I think it is going to be a tie we thought the same with Bayern Barca in 2020 but boom destroyed so we can’t really be sure
One thing is forsure, its bound to be an extremely boring match, both legs.
Honestly these people hate man united
Tough game for United. Atletico will make it as difficult as possible for United. If Ronaldo continues his excellent record against Atletico, United have a chance of going through.
Making a bold statement… Ronaldo will score
If they provide the ball to Ronaldo in 3yard box man utd has more chances of winning
I think the king of hat-tricks will play a major role in this tie agree with Julien just keep in mind CR7 got 4 against Atletico de Madrid,for sure will be a 50/50 tie.
Bet on Man United I'm telling you now,
SIUUUUUUUUUUUU
Atletico will win playing ugly and dirty
So Stevie will take Messi out of a PSG – Madrid starting 11. But feels Man utd will top Atletico because of CR7 goal history. Did he forget Messi Madrid history?
The guy next to Nicol who is he actually he makes himself look like a fool that doesnt deserve to be there only got the job cause they needed diversity.
You guys getting payed to talk. So you have to say something this is just comedy
Starting to look like an ANTI-UNITED youtube channel
Its gonna be a tough tie…but manchester united gonna come out the winners in this tie ?
I think if CR7 knocks Athletico out again it's unreal. Whenever they faced him in any team they had a bad time. He will be renamed Athletico de Terminator!! And they should install a statue of his.??
I mean Man U should get through this BUT
CR7 is finish… Atleti will win
