The irony is they should've been with 9 men at this point.

Still gutted we didn't do everything possible to get Simeone. He would've been great against all those managers coming in the PL next season.

Still can hope when his contract expires in 3 years from now. :D

And the refeere not giving him a penalty was like.. YES!

Filipe 'he can't defend' Luis. Having a great game. Enjoying a great season actually. Key player in the best defence of Europe.

Sigh...

Simeone's defensive system makes Mourinho's look amateurish. Unreal stuff from Atleti, can't believe I doubted them.

The team we could make up of stupidly sold players would comfortably see off our current one. Cech, Luis, De bruyne, Lukaku all lightyears better than what we have instead of them.

Mourinho just not a good man manager like in the past.

Mourinho throws players under the bus, Simeone dies for them.

So will it be Guardiola against his future City and a Madrid derby in the semis? :D

the most interesting duels would be

 

Atletico - BAyern and Man City - Real. This is the only matchup I can see both underdogs having a shot at the final.

Last night it was De Bruyne, tonight Filipe Luis, next in line in Sturridge - will probably bag a hattrick tomorrow. And then De Bruyne should wrap up this week with a late winner at the Bridge.

please no, but some on here are already looking forward to stick the knife in, unbereable times, ouch...:(

Brilliant by ATM. Absolutely Fabulous Fight and Gameplan.

This is what we used to be, before we bought a bunch of mercenaries and sold some of our most talented players.

Hardly surprising that ex-chelsea players everywhere are performing so well. They are performing so well, because they are brilliant talents unseen by our ex-manager.

You know what pisses me off?

When we play defensive physical football, the world labels us "anti-football"
When Atletico play defensive physical football, the world applauds and hails their spirit and character.

I hope many other Chelsea fans dont think the same way. Though the number of RTs suggest otherwiss. 

Yea, Atletico Madrid is everything we used to be, but their better than what we've been in Europe the past 5 years. They don't just defend deep, but have 7/8/9 players who can dribble out of pressure and are sound technically. They create multiple goal-scoring chances, and don't just rely on set-pieces for them either. Their pressing is miles ahead of anything we do, and they have defenders who don't need to be hidden by Willian and Hazard tracking back for every single attack (one 1v1 duel between Neymar and Ivan is an automatic goal) no discussion. 

----------------------------------------------

Tremendous game plan by Atleti too, and Messi was completely anonymous throughout the match. Im surprised he continued to sit in CM and not move out wide, he played into the ATM gameplan by being so static, and although that tactic worked last match, once Atleti got that 2nd goal, Messi should have positioned himself on the wings to get his feet on the ball instead of hoping Barca would somehow get it to him.

But at the same time you gotta give Atleti credit for defending their wings better, because unlike last match, Alves and Alba weren't a factor at all and only got 1 real threatening cross between them unlike last time. 

 

Back-2-Back Tremendous European nights. You gotta love it. Wish I was there man. The Scenes.
