Bayern v Atletico

Diabhal Beag

Pep Guardiola at Bayern: Average at best.

Harry Palmr

Well I for one am actually glad (and I'm no fan of their cave man of a manager)

Bret Hart

GET IN HAHA PEP .

ricero

Peps time at bayern a failure ?

tanko

Good riddance Bayern.

Johner

Yesssss!

CSF

Get in, so much spirit in this team. Bayern were great but Atletico managed to do just enough. Feel for Bayern. They really did show up and give everything.

Atleticos passing was poor enough tonight but their spirit and work rate cannot be faulted

Well done Atletico, i have such admiration for that team. Simeone has done a super job and turned them into such a formidable outfit.

Rayne Wooney

Glad Bayern knocked out but I hope Real beat these in the final

Ex man city man Savic on to see it out.

He was great for Fiorentina tbh.
Ah on yer bike Mr. Peanut.
Juve should have beat you

I really can't stand Guardiola but I really can't stand Simeone either so I'm not sure what to feel right now!

I think I'm happier that Guardiola lost. I think

Dirty Dingus McGee

Brilliant tie one of the great Euopean ties for tension across the 2 legs.

Carrasco is very lucky Bayern didn't score from that last attack.

What a game!

Yes!!!!!!!! What a win. Simeone hammering the final nail into Pep's failure coffin at Bayern.
He should go to Celtic next to guarantee himself a few more titles.

LuckyGent88

What a game that was. Not the biggest fan of the way athletico but by god I hope they win the comp now.
The desire and work ethitic is phenomenal

tigger123

Delighted for Torres too.

BorneTobyWilde

HARD TO WISH THEM WELL
Rotten team to watch
Over two legs they offered nothing going forward
They go through on what maybe a goal that should not have stood

Hank Scorpio

Cya Pepi. Great game

StringerBell

Ah the long ball, such a lynchpin of the beautiful game

Another season of underachievement for Pep, Simeone is some headcase.

Atletico certainly deserve to be in the final over the two legs.

niallo27

What a horrible cheating boring team. Hate to see a team like that win

NIMAN

Great game of football for the neutral, had everything.

Pep fails again.

Shanotheslayer

Lolz at the Pep hatred. Lads does you not have more important things to hate? :pac:


Great game that. Thought Coman/Muller were very poor. Coman been great all season every time I saw him. Atletico defensively still a tight unit. But my god awful w*nkers, would hope they beat Madrid should they get them in the Final

Nothing going forward but scored the same amount of goals

But....but .....I thought guardiola invented this football thing

Simeone is a pure legend.He must be an unbelievable manager to play for.

There wasn't that much cheating. I think people are just working off a narrative. Atletico killed no more time than anyone defending a lead against a team as good as Bayern.

The running down of Pep is a bit sad too.

Simeone's great craic to watch on the sidelines.

Serious passion

It reminds me of your buddy Klopp

Fair play to AM, nobody works harder. That was one crazy good match. It had a bit of everything, very entertaining.

No. Football is life. Nothing is more important.

The census lady knocked at the door in the 93rd minute. She was left waiting until the final whistle.

FERNANDO TORRES

Great game well done atletico.

The overrated one has been found out again, he has failed at bayern there is no way of sugar coating it.

Harry Palmr

It was amusing that Bayern scored with a goal that could have been from a Pulis side.

As for Guardiola, yes his time has been a flop - winning the Bundesliga is a given, its the CL that really matters for FC Hollywood.

Giggsy11

IIRC Pep side knocked out all the 3 times by Spanish sides. Real Madrid, Barca and now Atletico.

UnitedIrishman

As absolutely horrible it must be to play or watch your team play against Atletico, love the fact that they're getting the absolute maximum out of themselves and play on the absolute limits.

superfurry1

Athletico remind me of that horrible Chelsea team wish them all the luck Chelsea got in the final.

~Rebel~

AIG, I really hope you're up for Villarreal on Thursday! Been a kiss of death so far for all the flawless, dynamic, vertically pivoting teams so far this season

Sounds about right Giggsy.

Atletico were blessed. They have a great spirit in their team, but you need to be an Atletico fan to like them in my view. I doubt they'll win the final especially if it's against Real Madrid. They've used up all their luck I reckon.

GreNoLi

Utterly chuffed with that, Carrasco was a hero, didn't know that he was a Belgian.

Hope they win their first european cup now, they're definitely favourites in my book.

Cypher_sounds

Bayern beat Atletico's passing rate by a ratio of 5:1 :eek:

Andersonisgod

Obviously disappointed with the result but you can't fault Atletico. They punch above their weight, their defensive structure and counter attack are amongst the very best in the world. My hate is reserved for the sport itself, that a team can waste the eye-watering amount of time that Atletico did in the first half and there are no negative consequences, that's a sport that is flawed. When a referee can give the kind of penalty decision that he did to Atletico in such a massive game, that's a sport with a flawed officiating process. You can't hate Atletico, they simply expose the flaws in how the game is managed. I think every fan has a pet hate in football, for some it's feigning injury, for some it's diving, for some it's crowding the referee, for me it's time wasting that I hate more than anything because it's something that seems to go entirely unpunished and entirely under the radar.

Over the course of these 2 legs from wanting Athletico to win at the start - now I´m disgusted they won.

Now I could watch them as a complete neutral and not just the hatred of Barca clouding my view.
Finally I can see what a boring cheating choke the life out of a game team they are.

Real are f*cked , UEFA won't want an all Spanish final.

CSF

This tie was worthy of a final IMO. No shame in defeat for an excellent Bayern side. IMO put up more of a fight than Barca.

Shtty comment. Bayern were very unlucky tonight, did everything against a team that are set up to defend and counter.

Lewandowski is a diving bastard too so I really have no sympathy for Bayern. They have their monopoly in Germany and seem to have first dabs on any potential talent from the other clubs

osarusan

Atletico can be ugly to watch at times but you have to admire their determination and focus, and above all, their total commitment.. Their ability to defend is superb.

And they always seem to give games filled with tension and excitement.

I think that most teams would do what they do defensively if they could. Lets not kid ourselves that other teams wouldn't be cynical too if they were 10 minutes away from a Champions League final.

What was the cheating? I didn't see much. Most of the diving was Lewandowski like.

Agreed on both points.
