Flint Fredstone

No thread for this? Shaping up to be a cracker already.

Yep. 2 teams that won't tire too

Flint Fredstone

Ribery is looking back to his best.

Andersonisgod

Bayern's vertical passing is out of this world, they do so well to break lines as tight at Atletico's.

Oat23

Doesn't feel like a CL semi final at all. Feels like I'm watching Bayern at home against any bottom half Bundesliga team.

CSF

Jesus this thread is quiet. Bayern are at it tonight. My optimism has waned.

Mushy

Can't believe 30 mins have gone already

Mushy

Its been coming

Flint Fredstone

That was coming. Such a mess of a wall.

monkey9

Ah good man Xabi. You just knew that was going in as he made the run up.

Mushy

Own goal though

Johner

What a fluke, but they were well on top.

Oat23

Actually happy they scored, because it was boring as f*ck watching that first 29 minutes. Atleti have to come out now.

tigger123

Balls. Game on though.

Andersonisgod

Yes! Goal! More than deserved, their start to this game has been absolutely electric.

Flint Fredstone

Pen. Stupid defending.

TheCitizen

Thank fck for that. Hopefully Bayern will go and win. Atletico are painful to be looking at

SlickRic

Atletico doing a Spurs here.

Mushy

Wtf does he be thinking

I've actually never heard this before

Fromvert

Athleti going to implode if this goes in

Flint Fredstone

What a save.

Agent Coulson

Great save

Wow, great game so far. The atmosphere is insane

Bayern playing with a crazy tempo

Clear penalty BTW

....what a save!!

ollie1

Wow great save

monkey9

I think it was a penalty, but the Bayern lad seemed to jump into him at first.

Toobz

Where do Atleti find these goalies?!

Fancy way of saying long balls

Johner

Save! Save! Great save by Oblak.

kksaints

Bayern's pace is extreme tonight. Slightly different from the usual Pep team style.

Poor penalty from Mueller.

CSF

I'm all for giving penalties like that but I don't think the away team would have been given it. Great save from Oblak.

It's not a long ball if you know who you're hitting it to.

Cypher_sounds

On first view it looked a poor penalty.

TheCitizen

Should still batter them. Officials need eyes in the backs of their heads to be way this Atletico crowd

FatherTed

I don't know what's more shocking - Leicester winning the Prem or a German missing a penalty...

What is it?

Flint Fredstone

Simeone acting the maggot again...

AdamD

Lewandowski is so unlikeable

monkey9

Lewandowski going down easy as per usual.

Cypher_sounds

Shameful dive.

Sad state of football.

tastyt

This is a serious game

derm0j073

If in doubt, start a row.

dirkmeister

I would really love if pathetic diving like that was treated with retrospective action.

Flint Fredstone

An Atleti goal before HT would make things really interesting.

The description is in the name. It's usually a straight pass forward that often breaks the opposition line.

SlickRic

Some people say Alonso is past it.

He's been exemplary in controlling this; switching play and making Atletico's defence second guess the angle of the attack.

Rayne Wooney

Terrible penalty from Muller to be fair

Gives the eyes but goes that way, quite poor

This match is bananas.
