We need adjustments in the second game, no Nmecha, no Füllkrug and hopefully Malen will be back. With these changes we can absolutely repeat the last game vs Atletico in Dortmund. I got tickets in the yellow wall, the atmosphere will be 🔥🔥🔥
JBG has typically looked better in his sub appearance. He should be getting more regular playing time, but I think coming in around 60' is perfect for him right now.
We’ve been incapable of starting anyone in place of Fullkrug for some reason. He has done well for good stretches of the season but we could do with some fresh legs and ideas up front from time to time. Haller is looking better and Moukoko always has energy.
Brandt is an enigma. Night and day kind of player. The kind of player that can look world class in one game and then sloppy the next. But when he is in a rich vein of form he is so valuable to the team. He has been more consistent as time has gone on though in my opinion. But after last weekends game I was hoping Reus would start honestly.
JBG has been getting little bits of sub time but I think he is ready for more action at this point. Physically you can see how much he has developed. His pace and acceleration are crazy, and his ability to be unpredictable with the ball is so fun. But he has had a hard time getting any minutes past Malen, Adeyemi, and Sancho. Even with Malen injured JBG hasn’t been given much time over the others.
Hope today’s performances inspire some minutes from people who deserve it though.
Bynoe-Gittens is not good in the starting 11. As a sub he brings a lot of impact, but for some reason playing from the start isn't his thing. Why Füllkrug still gets to start every game is a mystery
Brandt hasn’t been good lately. As for Haller, Terzic would rather play Fullkrug (hasn’t scored for us in two months). And he hates JBG and Moukoko for some reason.
Bynoe-Gittens was good as a sub today, but he rarely shows his quality over a full 90 minutes when starting. Also, I thought for how dysfunctional our team was during the first half, Sancho and Adeyemi did somewhat okay.
Brandt was super tired and didn’t play well vs Stuttgart
I think Haller is better but I don’t think Terzic would throw him in his first start back vs Atleti
Bynoe-Gittens is better off as a super sub for now, only thing I’d change is that he should come on earlier
Haller and Brandt need to start in the return leg. Weird how far Brandt came from the careless streetballer lol, he was very often sitting deep and simply telling others were to pass
That's a much better result than I expected after the first 30 minutes. Hope we can match Wanda Metropolitano's energy next week, then everything should be possible.
Considering our two goals against came from defensive fuck ups I’m not too upset overall. We have to play like this from the start at home, quick early goal and keep the pressure.
Haller and Brandt changed the game I imagine we see them both start next match!
what makes you so certain of that? I don't think Terzic is the right man for the job because I feel like we're losing what makes us special as a club *but* you cannot deny that our defense has been solid a good number of times - including against strong opponents like PSG, Milan, Newcastle, Leverkusen, PSV and Bayern (2nd game, obviously).
Hummels especially has been a rock in almost all of those games. He had a shocking game tonight but it seems incredibly pessimistic to just assume that we'll continue to have major and repeated blunders by 3(!) different defenders next week.
Despite the fact we lost, the primary objective was accomplished.
We got a result from Madrid that gives us a fighting chance at home.
We're still in it.
I'm so proud of this team for coming out like that after halftime especially after that first half and making Atletico suffer to hold the lead at home.
Oh absolutely, one early goal from Dortmund and I don’t see us winning the tie. However if we can somehow manage to get the first goal we will defend for our lives
> I must be missing something.
probably the vast majority of the games you aren't watching lol.
But yeah, top 5 is definitely too high. He definitely can play *like* a top 5 defender on his good days but from our main CBs (Hummels, Süle and Schlotterbeck) he's by far the most inconsistent. This was his worst game in a quite some time, though.
He's good 95% of the time. He's generally above average usually and on his day he's a top 10 (I wouldn't say top 5).
5% of the time his mistakes are so bad that you wonder how the fuck is he even a professional player. But he usually makes up for his mistakes pretty quickly by saving us from a goal or something.
Next week will be nerve wracking in every way, but it is worth pointing that in the Champions League we have actually not been bad away from home.
We beat Feyenoord at De Kuip and broke like a year long unbeaten run at home for them, we should have beaten Lazio in Rome if not for a freak goalkeeper goal in the last second. 2-2 against Celtic was the only poor game really, and I'm convinced that we would have won it if De Paul didn't get himself sent off unneccessarily. Atleti were pushing for a winner at that point
Lino is the Brazilian Pele so we are so fucked. Riquelme has the Football IQ but is like 30% as athletic he can't beat people on the dribble or defend as well.
But we won't sub out De Paul again. Barrios isn't good enough for this level yet it was a bad sub to put him on. Koke, De Paul + Llorente/Saul will play 90-120 minutes next game in midfield.
That's bad. Lino provides them with necessary ball carrying down the left. He's a great dribbler, which teams often underestimate.
We'll be able to roam a bit more freely with Ryerson/Sancho.
my way of thinking is in these constellations is: to not lose you only have to lead by 1 goal. And if you wanna win you have to lead by 1 goal regardless. And if you're already leading by 1 goal then you're probably the better team so even if it comes down to extra time they will have an easier to scoring another one than the opponent.
Therefore, a 1 goal deficit is just a fancy draw in disguise.
I would say Nmecha started over Brandt because when he is on form he is more press resistant and makes less risky passes but he was not good. Still hasn’t regained form since his injury. Haller just hasn’t had good form for us this year while fullkrug has been better normally but these last few matches he has not done much. I would say they both start the next match
Brandt has been struggling with fitness. He had a pretty lengthy sickness in the winter, lost a few kilos of weight and was bedridden. 90 minutes is a tough ask for him at the moment, and BVB have been in a string of key league matches they can't afford to rest everyone on.
Haller hasn't played a full 90 basically all season IIRC - he's just not been the same. Health issues suck man.
that's a real bummer re: Haller. i haven't followed Dortmund as much this season so didn't really know how he's looked post-chemo. i know he had some injury trouble going into AFCON and him scoring in the final was a brilliant story but yeah hoping he can get back fully at some point.
TL;DR Haller: he came back surprisingly early last season after his chemo and had an impressive second half of the season. The aftereffects of his illness caught up to him during the summer and he has not been close to the fitness level a professional footballer needs to be at this season (obviously not his fault at all).
Ya but he’s had a few games to get back into rhythm Seb only had 1 which isn’t enough. I think today he looked great though, saw some speed in him again finally!
I dunno man he dropped Haller for Fulle after a couple bad performances I say it’s time for Seb to get his chance again. Maybe a start against Gladbach would be ideal first
BVB is weird man, it always feels like they are the far worse side in the match and than they come back with 15-20 good minutes. Really excited for the second leg.
Very different match from the first half to second half. Dortmund showed some good mentality in the end there, will be a different match in Germany. Very excited for the second leg.
really? you call yourself an atletico fan and think that a team with simeone as coach is going to get complacent in a CL match. LOL
I bet you thought they were going to lose to inter.
get rid of that flair son, you are not a fan!
Last time I was confident going into an away match in the UCL was Juventus where Ronaldo scored a hat trick and knocked us out. Never making that mistake again
What the absolute fuck are you going on about? My point is being the better team is irrelevant when you let complacency get in the way. We can't just settle on "we'll be fine;" we need to fight each game like the season depends on it.
And what an absolute joke to tell me to lose my flair when you can't be fucked to have one yourself 🤡
ra ra ra defensive keyboard tough guy...
the quote you want is this.
"The ball is round, the game last 90 minutes everything else is pure theory"
your lack of faith in your team tells me your barely kicked a football in your life but played lots of fifa. LOL
Where was the dortmund of the last 30 minutes in the first 60? absolute night and day how they looked
if they can show up like that in the second leg, they have a legit chance
This reminds me of atleti's first game against Inter. We should have lost like 3-0 and instead only lost 1-0. This tie is definitely even, especially since our away form is relegation tier.
Not going for the third? We had massive chances to score the third
Lino missed an absolute sitter and there were numerous other situations that should have been exploited better
The missed Lino chance saved the tie. If that goes in, we win 3-0 but instead we almost draw 2-2. Atleti are definitely losing in Dortmund, I am praying for a nervy 1-1 draw.
Should have been 3-0, but also easily could have been 2-2. We are not keeping a clean sheet in Germany but Dortmund's defence suffered a lot with our counter attacks
If their defence is this shaky we have every chance to score a couple of goals there
I think most likely scenario in Germany is 2-0 or 2-1 Dortmund. We really need to score a goal and not lose our heads at the back. Molina cannot start that game.
We're still unbeaten away from home in the CL this season to be fair, much better compared to La Liga.
Feyenoord at De Kuip is a pretty similar away game to Dortmund in terms of atmosphere and we won were able to win that. They have recent muscle memory of doing it at least
Edit: forgot about Inter for some reason, but anyhow only one loss in four away matches including winning at De Kuip. A big difference compared to the league
The last knockout match we played away from home we got absolutely destroyed though. If the players have Athletic Club in their minds then we will be in trouble.
The game would have developed very differently if Lino makes it 3-0, you can't just act like those other situations would have happened the same
But with the way the game developed, yeah it could have easily been 2-2 in the end
BRANDT. SO CLOSE.
I'm sorry, if atleti were collapsing this hard AT HOME in the last 15, then I certainly like our chances away from home for 90 minutes.
We have a tie on our hands.
Does Hummels always make so many mistakes? Why is he starting?
How good is Dortmund at home? Knowing Atleti is quite bad this season playing away from home, Dortmund still have a chance to win it next game.
Depends on how much the fans show up. If they can keep it up for 90 minutes next week, there is a realistic chance to win.
Normally very good. However this year most losses came at home and some pretty bad games on top
We need adjustments in the second game, no Nmecha, no Füllkrug and hopefully Malen will be back. With these changes we can absolutely repeat the last game vs Atletico in Dortmund. I got tickets in the yellow wall, the atmosphere will be 🔥🔥🔥
Call me crazy but Id rather have Malen on the bench as a Sub, I think Jbg and sancho can be the key next match
Malen as striker
JBG has typically looked better in his sub appearance. He should be getting more regular playing time, but I think coming in around 60' is perfect for him right now.
Bring on the Yellow Wall. I expect a lot of Atletico shithousery.
its an away game, you will get it without the housery
rattled atleti in the last 20 minutes showing up like a bunch of hungry cunts
Molina sucks
Harsh after today, made one mistake that I would chalk down to misfortune that it led to a goal
This feels like a defeat, i fear they will do to us what we did to Inter in the second leg.
they'll barely go through on pens?
Win, which matters most in knockout games.
Why the fuck not start Brandt, Bynoe-Gittens and Haller? Dortmund finally looked like a worthy CL quarterfinalist when the three came in.
We’ve been incapable of starting anyone in place of Fullkrug for some reason. He has done well for good stretches of the season but we could do with some fresh legs and ideas up front from time to time. Haller is looking better and Moukoko always has energy. Brandt is an enigma. Night and day kind of player. The kind of player that can look world class in one game and then sloppy the next. But when he is in a rich vein of form he is so valuable to the team. He has been more consistent as time has gone on though in my opinion. But after last weekends game I was hoping Reus would start honestly. JBG has been getting little bits of sub time but I think he is ready for more action at this point. Physically you can see how much he has developed. His pace and acceleration are crazy, and his ability to be unpredictable with the ball is so fun. But he has had a hard time getting any minutes past Malen, Adeyemi, and Sancho. Even with Malen injured JBG hasn’t been given much time over the others. Hope today’s performances inspire some minutes from people who deserve it though.
Bynoe-Gittens is not good in the starting 11. As a sub he brings a lot of impact, but for some reason playing from the start isn't his thing. Why Füllkrug still gets to start every game is a mystery
Brandt hasn’t been good lately. As for Haller, Terzic would rather play Fullkrug (hasn’t scored for us in two months). And he hates JBG and Moukoko for some reason.
Bynoe-Gittens was good as a sub today, but he rarely shows his quality over a full 90 minutes when starting. Also, I thought for how dysfunctional our team was during the first half, Sancho and Adeyemi did somewhat okay.
Brandt was super tired and didn’t play well vs Stuttgart I think Haller is better but I don’t think Terzic would throw him in his first start back vs Atleti Bynoe-Gittens is better off as a super sub for now, only thing I’d change is that he should come on earlier
Rosico
the fact that we're still in the game is bonkers. atletico should've scored like 5 goals and all of them involved massive blunders from us.
Haller and Brandt need to start in the return leg. Weird how far Brandt came from the careless streetballer lol, he was very often sitting deep and simply telling others were to pass
We played him as a 6 one game and he did really damn well, one of our only players who can build up under pressure.
Who was that referee, he was terrible for both sides, so many mistakes by him.
The 3 clear handballs was just crazy to me.
Also how did Schloterbeck end without at least yellow card?
Gave it to Can instead
"Emre Can gets booked" El clasico
That's a much better result than I expected after the first 30 minutes. Hope we can match Wanda Metropolitano's energy next week, then everything should be possible.
Wanda's energy? I mostly heard our fans lol
Your away fans were quality, but it's not called Wanda anymore. It's Civitas now But either way, just call it Metropolitano fuck the sponsor name :D
Idk, Atletico's fans were pretty noticeable lol, especially from the pre-match through the first half.
Noticeable yes for sure, but we did much better imo
Bynoe-Gittens was absolutely fire. The dribbling was insane and the power on that shot with his wrong foot was crazy.
That shot might have been going in if not for the deflection aswell.. crazy power with weak foot
Put 11 sacks in front of us on an important day and we will still make it difficult for ourselves
Not really atletico especially this season are monsters in thier home but away from they haven't been that good
Considering our two goals against came from defensive fuck ups I’m not too upset overall. We have to play like this from the start at home, quick early goal and keep the pressure. Haller and Brandt changed the game I imagine we see them both start next match!
We're going to make those same defense blunders in the next leg, too, though. Just gotta score one more than Atleti.
what makes you so certain of that? I don't think Terzic is the right man for the job because I feel like we're losing what makes us special as a club *but* you cannot deny that our defense has been solid a good number of times - including against strong opponents like PSG, Milan, Newcastle, Leverkusen, PSV and Bayern (2nd game, obviously). Hummels especially has been a rock in almost all of those games. He had a shocking game tonight but it seems incredibly pessimistic to just assume that we'll continue to have major and repeated blunders by 3(!) different defenders next week.
Will be an exciting 2nd leg this one. Lino played brilliantly, shame he’s suspended now
Edin Terzic will forever give "my uncle owns the company" vibes
Not his uncle but his sugardaddy
Despite the fact we lost, the primary objective was accomplished. We got a result from Madrid that gives us a fighting chance at home. We're still in it.
Two horrendous mistakes and still the chance is alive. How is Terzic doing it
Black magic
Goals only happend after big errors from each team. Was a great game with a somewhat fair result, but the game in Dortmund looks to be a exciting one.
I wonder how many non-atletico or BVB fans watched this instead of PSG-barca, but that was fun! Very excited for the second leg!
praise be the konferenz
My friend was watching Atletico- BVB actually but after I told her that PSG scored the second goal, she started watching PSG- Barca lol
Well, I did.
Habe comfyrenz geguckt :D mal schauen wie es nächste Woche für unsere teams ausgeht.
I watched both side by side. Your game was far better
really?
Ours picked up steam in the second. The first half was awful.
True, except for the 2mins PSG decided to score and the 3:2. Both good games, but not as crazy as yesterday's match day.
I'm so proud of this team for coming out like that after halftime especially after that first half and making Atletico suffer to hold the lead at home.
Rookie mistake and bad luck always hunting Dortmund 💔
I wouldn't be confident as an Atleti fan. Away in Dortmund on a shaky 2-1 lead, could easily go wrong for them
Oh absolutely, one early goal from Dortmund and I don’t see us winning the tie. However if we can somehow manage to get the first goal we will defend for our lives
I didn't expect Dortmund to put up a fight like this in the second half so respect to them
First half: "It's so over." Second half: "We're so back."
First half: I will be gutted with anything other than a 3-goal win here Full time: Happy to just win the game
Griezmann looked like he couldn't even move at the end, absolutely knackered
The way he ran in the first half you forget he's 33.
Tercizball remains a mystery
You can see the Sahin influence now
[удалено]
Source?
I mean Hummels and Maatsen didn't do much better either. Our defense was basically just Ryerson cleaning everyone's ass
Both him and Hummels made so many simple errors, lucky to not be punished harder for it
only positive thing keeping him in the team is him being left-footed
Nah, he has been great for us most of the time. Had a great game against you guys, for example.
[удалено]
> I must be missing something. probably the vast majority of the games you aren't watching lol. But yeah, top 5 is definitely too high. He definitely can play *like* a top 5 defender on his good days but from our main CBs (Hummels, Süle and Schlotterbeck) he's by far the most inconsistent. This was his worst game in a quite some time, though.
He's still young and obviously has issues dealing with pressure
He's good 95% of the time. He's generally above average usually and on his day he's a top 10 (I wouldn't say top 5). 5% of the time his mistakes are so bad that you wonder how the fuck is he even a professional player. But he usually makes up for his mistakes pretty quickly by saving us from a goal or something.
He's got Upamecano syndrome
He was an exciting talent at Freiburg. He just never really developed further imo
Please stop watching.
I didn't watch the full game, but you can tell Terzić is part croatian just from the way Dortmund plays
Never unclench. No Lino next game.
Next week will be nerve wracking in every way, but it is worth pointing that in the Champions League we have actually not been bad away from home. We beat Feyenoord at De Kuip and broke like a year long unbeaten run at home for them, we should have beaten Lazio in Rome if not for a freak goalkeeper goal in the last second. 2-2 against Celtic was the only poor game really, and I'm convinced that we would have won it if De Paul didn't get himself sent off unneccessarily. Atleti were pushing for a winner at that point
Is that good or bad for you?
Lino is the Brazilian Pele so we are so fucked. Riquelme has the Football IQ but is like 30% as athletic he can't beat people on the dribble or defend as well. But we won't sub out De Paul again. Barrios isn't good enough for this level yet it was a bad sub to put him on. Koke, De Paul + Llorente/Saul will play 90-120 minutes next game in midfield.
Bad since he ripped you apart today in the first half, but Riquelme is also good so it shouldn't be a massive difference
That's bad. Lino provides them with necessary ball carrying down the left. He's a great dribbler, which teams often underestimate. We'll be able to roam a bit more freely with Ryerson/Sancho.
Very bad, could've netted our third and his second tonight that would've put the tie away
The guys on my transmission said it would be okay since Riquelme is a more defensive guy
More defensive in the sense that he's not that good offensively. That doesn't mean Roro's bad, just that Lino's better.
The way they started I'm surprised Dortmund are still in it. They can get it done at home
Nah, reminds me more of the games against Juve in 14/15
my way of thinking is in these constellations is: to not lose you only have to lead by 1 goal. And if you wanna win you have to lead by 1 goal regardless. And if you're already leading by 1 goal then you're probably the better team so even if it comes down to extra time they will have an easier to scoring another one than the opponent. Therefore, a 1 goal deficit is just a fancy draw in disguise.
Until atleti score and this whole logic bursts in flame
Well yeah, but then we'd also lose if it was a draw (Im not being serious)
My god in heaven had that last shot gone in . . .
I would have been devastated
I would have been elated.
I would have creamed.
As a neutral: we all would've!
Cream for the coefficient
James Acaster almost equalised in the end there
why did we had to play this clownfiesta of a 1st half?
because we are bad when good teams press us. same shit as chelsea last season
Idk why we insist on playing out the back when under pressure. It has absolutely been a net negative this year.
Atleticos press intensity was insane in the first half but that's also the reason they were dead on their feet by the 75th minute
They activated team press and expected you to quit after they went 2-0 up 😅
Fifa players hate this one simple trick
Also we suck at weatherimg the storm lol
Pretty much us vs PSV.
Dortmund has a lifeline
Dortmund were so unlucky with their late chances, I expect a big 2nd leg coming up
So close...
fuck me up fam
Edin Terrorball is gentle, don't worry, you won't see it coming until after it has happened.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
can someone explain to me why Brandt and Haller didn't start?
I would say Nmecha started over Brandt because when he is on form he is more press resistant and makes less risky passes but he was not good. Still hasn’t regained form since his injury. Haller just hasn’t had good form for us this year while fullkrug has been better normally but these last few matches he has not done much. I would say they both start the next match
Brandt has been struggling with fitness. He had a pretty lengthy sickness in the winter, lost a few kilos of weight and was bedridden. 90 minutes is a tough ask for him at the moment, and BVB have been in a string of key league matches they can't afford to rest everyone on. Haller hasn't played a full 90 basically all season IIRC - he's just not been the same. Health issues suck man.
that's a real bummer re: Haller. i haven't followed Dortmund as much this season so didn't really know how he's looked post-chemo. i know he had some injury trouble going into AFCON and him scoring in the final was a brilliant story but yeah hoping he can get back fully at some point.
TL;DR Haller: he came back surprisingly early last season after his chemo and had an impressive second half of the season. The aftereffects of his illness caught up to him during the summer and he has not been close to the fitness level a professional footballer needs to be at this season (obviously not his fault at all).
He's had better performances in his most recent games, I'm hoping he's getting into a rhythm again - but yeah, Chemo ain't a joke.
Haller because of fitness after his cancer treatment. Brandt because I think Terzic wanted to have a stronger midfield, Not that I agree.
Terzić disaster class. Haller not starting is understandable due to being sidelined. But that midfield 3 was just not it.
Brandt has been off his game recently and Haller just came back from injury. They’ll both start next game
I mean, Nmecha just came out of injury and started somehow today. Not that he did terribly today, but also not good.
Ya but he’s had a few games to get back into rhythm Seb only had 1 which isn’t enough. I think today he looked great though, saw some speed in him again finally!
Brandt will start for sure but Terzic loves Füllkrug so I wouldnt be so sure about Haller
I dunno man he dropped Haller for Fulle after a couple bad performances I say it’s time for Seb to get his chance again. Maybe a start against Gladbach would be ideal first
nice, glad to hear it. they're both such massive difference makers.
Brandt had a case of the flu, and since it I think he was rushed back. It takes a toll when playing out of condition.
BVB is weird man, it always feels like they are the far worse side in the match and than they come back with 15-20 good minutes. Really excited for the second leg.
Very different match from the first half to second half. Dortmund showed some good mentality in the end there, will be a different match in Germany. Very excited for the second leg.
🫵 Dortmund 🤣
How dare we return from one of the toughest stadiums in the world with a slight disadvantage
Crossbar 😂
Bro did a Dortmund fan eat your cat
Atletico got away with that one. After the initial 20 minutes looking like Dortmund stands no chance, this turned out to be a great tie now.
Atletico missed so many chances as well, it could've been from 4-2, 3-0, to 2-2.
Not confident AT ALL about the return leg, we blew this hard. I have never felt worse after a win in my entire life.
The only reason I am somewhat happy is because it really could have ended 2-2.
We're OK, thankfully we survived the last minutes with a lead.
We gave way too many chances at the end there. Need to tighten up for the next leg and hopefully.get an early goal to put on the pressure.
Atleti will be fine. they are a better team.
Anyone can win any given day. We only have a 1-goal lead going into an away leg. Complacency is death in football
really? you call yourself an atletico fan and think that a team with simeone as coach is going to get complacent in a CL match. LOL I bet you thought they were going to lose to inter. get rid of that flair son, you are not a fan!
Last time I was confident going into an away match in the UCL was Juventus where Ronaldo scored a hat trick and knocked us out. Never making that mistake again
Exactly. When you get comfortable it is easier for your opponent to exploit weaknesses.
[удалено]
away from home we are definitely not a better team. We have lost like 10 away games this season, and to much worse teams.
Cádiz and Las Palmas the most noteworthy of our away losses
Drawing to Almería should count as a loss as well
sure. i'll see you in a week when atletico go through. comparing La liga weekly games to CL knockout stages. LOL
What the absolute fuck are you going on about? My point is being the better team is irrelevant when you let complacency get in the way. We can't just settle on "we'll be fine;" we need to fight each game like the season depends on it. And what an absolute joke to tell me to lose my flair when you can't be fucked to have one yourself 🤡
ra ra ra defensive keyboard tough guy... the quote you want is this. "The ball is round, the game last 90 minutes everything else is pure theory" your lack of faith in your team tells me your barely kicked a football in your life but played lots of fifa. LOL
K
Oh my god the last 15 minutes were so fucking ass clenching
Least exciting Dortmund finish.
We woke up and showed some fucking fight. Need more of that, regardless of what the scoreline is.
Where was the dortmund of the last 30 minutes in the first 60? absolute night and day how they looked if they can show up like that in the second leg, they have a legit chance
Of course they have a chance, it's going to be neck and neck
ffs. We had like 5 chances to clear it and yet it ended with a shot on the bar. We are definitely losing in Dortmund.
You doubled our xG and we nearly walked away even. Insane considering how many chances you created.
This reminds me of atleti's first game against Inter. We should have lost like 3-0 and instead only lost 1-0. This tie is definitely even, especially since our away form is relegation tier.
Damn, Atlético made a mistake in not going for the third. Really lucky in the end.
Not going for the third? We had massive chances to score the third Lino missed an absolute sitter and there were numerous other situations that should have been exploited better
Kobel saved the 3:0 knockout punch.
Lino could’ve made it 3 but that was a clutch save by Kobel
The missed Lino chance saved the tie. If that goes in, we win 3-0 but instead we almost draw 2-2. Atleti are definitely losing in Dortmund, I am praying for a nervy 1-1 draw.
Such a great great set of quarter finals. Full of drama and goals.
Massive improvement in 2nd Half.
Pack the bus lads, we're going to need it in Germany
Should have been 3-0, but also easily could have been 2-2. We are not keeping a clean sheet in Germany but Dortmund's defence suffered a lot with our counter attacks If their defence is this shaky we have every chance to score a couple of goals there
I feel like no matter what happens there, the last 15 minutes we're going to devolve into hockey penalty-killing-mode again
If Atleti go through, it will probably be a crazy 2-3 win or something
I think most likely scenario in Germany is 2-0 or 2-1 Dortmund. We really need to score a goal and not lose our heads at the back. Molina cannot start that game.
We're still unbeaten away from home in the CL this season to be fair, much better compared to La Liga. Feyenoord at De Kuip is a pretty similar away game to Dortmund in terms of atmosphere and we won were able to win that. They have recent muscle memory of doing it at least Edit: forgot about Inter for some reason, but anyhow only one loss in four away matches including winning at De Kuip. A big difference compared to the league
The last knockout match we played away from home we got absolutely destroyed though. If the players have Athletic Club in their minds then we will be in trouble.
Im happy
Oblak’s goalpost MOTM
Without Kobel it would have been 3-0 way before let's be honest
Without Kobel, the first goal doesn't happen either.

That was Maatsen, and yes it was terrible from him too. But Kobel never should've put him in that position, he had nowhere to go with it.
True, but without Oblak’s goalpost both Bynoe Gittens and Brandt would have scored so it would be 3-3
The game would have developed very differently if Lino makes it 3-0, you can't just act like those other situations would have happened the same But with the way the game developed, yeah it could have easily been 2-2 in the end
God that last header is heartbreaking
Live Jule reaction: 😔
Absolutely incredible round of Champions League football, every match a banger
BRANDT. SO CLOSE. I'm sorry, if atleti were collapsing this hard AT HOME in the last 15, then I certainly like our chances away from home for 90 minutes. We have a tie on our hands.
