Champions League thread 2013/14

How has that stayed out? what a ball across goal that was

 

[Yossarian]

First player called Toby to play in a European final. I'm calling it.\o/

 

[Mumorn]

As a footballer, Bale has improved immensely over 12 months.

 

[El Guepardo]

to keep up the intensity for 90 minutes is crazy, they seem to do it, especially in the big games.

it's interesting that you mention about the criticism though. It sort of brings up that whole "i dont mind how we play if we end up winning the league" sort of argument. Well, atletico won the league and are winning in a CL final against Real Madrid, if you offered me that. I honestly couldnt care less how we played

Definitely. I think if we look solid, can nullify the threats of our opponents, and are working hard as a team then that can be equally as impressive to watch, even if it's not quite as 'exciting'.

 

[Armchair Expert]

You're right, Tottenham aren't about winning, we're about bottling and not winning trophies, as long as we can maintain a 'moral' high ground about how good our football apparently is.

we've been electric at times this season.

thing is, Atletico can be exciting. They have quality to destroy with one touch passing. It is why they are so admired.

 

[Modric THFC]

Athletico beating Real in this game would be akin to Spurs beating Arsenal?

No its much bigger divide than that. Its like Bayern v 1860 Munchen or like Nottingham Forest and Notts County back in the day.

eclectic more like.

Winners of the moral cup season on season.

So true

It's a wonderful story, despite the sterility required. A bit like the Greece analogy mentioned above.

Seriously? Some examples please.

 

[Mumorn]

so in 3 years, Simeone has managed to win Europa League, La Liga, Super Cup and about to win the Champions League..wow

 

[Jurgen the German]

Why is everyone slating the way Atletico play? They went to Stamford Bridge and attacked, they can be cynical but they are unbelievable defensively and don't recklessly commit men forward and play into Real's hands.

 

[Mumorn]

1 - Karim Benzema has touched only one ball in the opp box and made no shot during this game. Forgotten.

:ross: dreadful

I think this has been a master class in nullifying the opposition.
