No worries, atleti are fine with having all 10 men behind the ball. Games against atletico madrid require strong mentality, patience and composure.
City will have to score the first goal, after which it will be a bloodbath
If City score 2 or more both the legs combined, they will go through. But, if they concede even 2 goals against Atleti I don't think they'll be able to considering 2nd leg is in Wanda. This gonna be a great match can't wait.
I'm rootin for Atletico to win this tie.
1st leg Prediction 1:1 Draw
2nd leg Prediction: Atletico wins
There is no away goal rule anymore which is very good. You have to win and win convincingly.
Manchester City are definitely the favorites, but let's not get carried away, Atletico and Simeone will play dirty as possible, mind tricks, provocations. Atletico will try to unsettle Man City players and make them angry, when you are angry it's hard to play perfectly. I expect tough psychological and nerve racking game for Man City, won't be that easy.
Sid lowe = Jason Statham with hair
As long as Atleti have Felix, Oblak and Simeone, anything is possible!..
Man city is not united ooo… they will be ruthless n score atico home n away… if atico opens up with city they will be scored more goals like 3 or 4
Honestly City is becominh a great team in recent seasons so its very tough 2 legged game for both sides
The thing City fans should be worried about isn't Simeone
But Pep
Pep overthinking!!
I think everyone forgot how atletico eliminated Barca,baryern and Liverpool in the past
And all thèses won championship on the recent years but city has never won and u think atletico can’t kick them out
Anyone picking Atletico is crazy. The away goal rule is gone which is bad news for defensive teams like Atletico. They're going to be parking the bus for dear life. Man City will thrash them
Man City will trash ATM without any doubt. This ATM is the weakest ATM of the recent years…
Man U greatest mistake was not to buy a world class Defense Midfielder is this last transfer windows. Yes McGuire is weak but with a proper DM who can read and anticipate plays they would suffer less goals. And of course a proper coach. ?
Sid Low is the best pundit ESPN have…..much love from Zimbabwe
Love how everyone laughed at 3:00 when Ale said 'he can suck the life out of many things' ?
Pep's team should be clear favourite in CL coz he won 5 out of 10 CL title .. he destroyed Monaco ,lyon etc in cl and ale already played game in paper give title to city same for stevie when he talk about Liverpool
I'm just waiting for Pep to blow this by doing something crazy with his tactics & team selection..
City are gonna win
Athletico will knock city out and the next topic will be why City didnt get a striker
What's even worse is that City don't have focal point that can distract their defenders…
I hope it works.
Atletico Madrid are coming into form at the right time.
Pls don't underestimate Atletico Madrid and Simeone.
It's easy to forget what and how a team used to be.
I'm telling you classic Atletico will shock Man City if we underestimate them.
That's the worst possible draw for Man City…
I'll prefer a team that attacks..
We all know Man City is isn't good at stop counter attacks.. because they don't face a team that can do it well often.
Spainish teams are well drilled.
Don't underestimate anyone if them.
I think this is the toughest opponent city could get. City dont have a stricker. It will be really hard for city to score against a 9 men defence..
On the other hand, Atletico will be waiting for opportunities to make counter attacks with experienced intelligent players like Griezmann. If Atletico somehow manages to take lead against City, then they would score more in counter attacks when City would go all out attack.
I really want Man City to win this title this year, but for me, Atletico are favourites in this match. Man City would struggle to beat them, if they do, then I will be so happy.
To win this tie, City must be patient. They should also let Atletico make attacks so that City might find space at Atleticos end. They must be solid at set pieces, must not lose ball at the middle of the field and in their half. Gabriel Jesus must play so that he might make the defenders busy and make space for the likes of KDB, foden, silva, mahrez. Pep must not do any gamble.. Letting Atletico lead first will be suicidal for City.. Defenders should remain at their positions and must be careful of Griezmann (he is important) and the other striker who would play with him.
KDB will tear them up
I think recently Athletico are getting things in place which makes me feel they will beat Manchester city
Man City about to give Atletico a footballing lesson of the highest order.
when its comes to defending they can do It even with 9. Cholo Simeone 442 typical Atlético.
Athletico madrid will pack that bus and absorb that game for 80 minutes.
I think atletico Madrid can beat man city many ways this is not primer league this is champions league remember please who knew that Lyon could knock out man City any thing can happen
Watch Atl Madrid dug out a win in this tie
I think the key will be if Man city counter attackin can be effective against Atletico's wall, the game can be one sided because City's counter attack are underrated.
ManCity and their players should be taking this game seriously and play their best coz Simeone mocked them few years ago for lack of history!!!?
Gotta love these peoples ability to through Manchester United into everything.. the thumbnail is pure clickbait
As a biased fan I genuinely don't like this teams equally but right now I would absolutely love a simeone master class ?
Man City by a couple of Sterling dives.
Not a chance Atleti get anything from BOTH legs
For Liverpool fans winning the League is more important, so I wouldn’t mind City going all the way to the final as long as it distract them from the premier league and drop more points.
Atletico madrid winning Champions league! ??????????
Atleti will kick that ball away for 180mins city players lack that cl mindset
3:01 ayo pause ?
That goal from Saul in 2016 First Leg was phenomenal
Don't be surprise ‼️
Pep's achilles heels type of team
I do hope City goes into the semi, that way they can't focus solely on the league, and I think they will have the same feeling for Liverpool.
Agree with their points and conclusion
