Round of 16 - Atletico Madrid vs Juventus

Ion

I did indeed to Surag, Rincon, and Warrior and I will do the same for you amigo.

I admit in being a petty bitter little thorn on the side of Juventini here to make up for the catastrophic decade my teams have had in Football. But it mostly comes from cynicism (stark contrast to me irl) when it comes to Italian football, knowledge of them and occasional frustration to see similar patterns repeating themselves.

10/10 performance regardless and no one can take that away. Hats off to Max for his bold system and changes and of course, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Bernadeschi 2nd motm for me.

All in all, like it has been said before, Juventus deserved this and Allegri proved again why he is such an amazing football coach. Very inspired with his 4-3-3 formation and with Bernardeschi in the starting XI as a winger, alternating sides from time to time. Definitely one of the most hard working players I've ever seen. The entire team was fully focused on the game for the whole 90 minutes and that's essential in this kind of games, considering that one goal from Atletico would've meant a lot. Congratulations to Juventus! Happy for their fans.

The Roma(nian) crew class as usual, make our forefather Marcus Aurelius  

Agree with Bernardeschi, 2nd man of the match. Impressive effort, and basically assissted 2 out of 3 goals. Props  to Allegri for having the balls to play Spinazzola and Kean, i think they are playing third time this season, if you can imagine. Also impressed by the role he gave to Can. He recovered so many balls that could turn in dangerous counter-attacks.

Allegri performing on the ball too. Touches like these with his hands on the pocket happen way more than anyone would believe.

The only time I would agree with you. I'm not ready for this and she needs to be stopped.

He was a rather skilled (and scrawny) trequartista.

No this I am aware of as its more unfortunate he had to play in such a golden age of upcoming talents as well as Azzuri staples as otherwise he not only was known to be very creative but had a penchant for goalscoring deep from the midfield, his most notable stints two outstanding seasons with Pescara and a decent spell at Cagliari.

Where I noticed his skill was his training within Milan paired with Pirlo, Zlatan and Seedorf etc and more than held his own with some delightful passes.

Ronaldo's "balls" celebration was towards the Atletico fans. A one match ban is very possible. Maybe Douglas Costa, to. He was behind our bench and made the same gesture towards Atletico's bench. Idiots.

It's the same thing Simeone did, they were responding to him and he didn't get banned. Nothing is going to happen there.

According to articles 15, provoking supporters will get you a one match ban. Simeone did it towards his own fans, his gesture was less provocative and he said the same thing on Sky Italia. Ronaldo did it in front of the away sector and he added some pelvic thrust to the celebration. Douglas Costa also turned towards their bench.

Ronaldo was definitely wrong in doing that. You know who else was wrong? Simeone.

I mean look at this underdeveloped simpleton:

Spoiler:

His lack of respect, especially for someone his age is revolting and sad. He's definitely in my personal top 3 of the most classless managers working today, and to be honest with you, I enjoyed seeing him getting a taste of his own classless medicine.

The man is 48 years old with 4 children and still behaves like a caveman. Grow the f up and have some class, you bus-parking clown.

What is wrong with that?

It's an obscene gesture that I don't even know how it is shown on TV. There are children watching these games.

Ronaldo's was worse because he did it towards Atletico's fans and you are not allowed to provoke supporters.
