Diego's goal was unreal, keepers positioning was a mess.

In Pinto's defence, the effort itself was rather unexpected. I guess he was busy sorting out his ponytail.

Tbf, this is an impressive bus by Utd.

bus? BUS? BUS!?

That was Heroism at it's finest! That was a display of GRIT, STRENGTH AND BRAVERY! What you talking about bus, this MAN UNITED, they bow to no man/team!

Proper win that was by Man U.

A great result for Atletico. Barca just might be knocked out. As for manures, I think it's the end next week. However, I was not impressed with Bayern. Shitty possession football, ala Pep.

To struggle with 7th place team, it's not much in my opinion.

Good for Man U, great defensive wall. And I hate this new Bayern team. It would be amazing if Man U knocked em out. I'm not sure whether Barca is a soccer team or a diving team. I hate Neymar so much, they're such sissies all of them, except Messi. It's ridiculous. Ronaldo was right, UEFALONA. Hopefully Atletico can draw the next leg 0-0. Terrible refs.

How did that two footed challenge go missed? Another absolute pathetic UEFA referee.

Some believed Atletico is like Getafe or Rajo Vajecano. Barca are on the way out out I expect. Once again fellow Spaniards were not intimidated by Messi and co like other Europeans do.

Some heroics by United but not enough.

Possession is an ILLUSION.

And what a major fuck up by pep by not starting mandzukic.

Bayern look less impressive with each round that goes by.

Reminds me of a certain team in 2012..

I was expecting a Bayern win..then I see the highlights of United doing well and gaining a draw.

Will be very interesting if United score first in the second leg....

As for the Spanish match, what a hit by Diego.

So prefer to watch Heynckes' Bayern last season than Guardiola's. Tactically superb and adaptable. Defensively solid. Ruthless offensively. Efficient. Capable of playing on the front foot but also on the counter. Guardiola's style of play may bring him trophies and to his club but it really gets boring after awhile when you know what to expect and becomes one-dimensional.

Didn't you read this thread and the Chelsea UCL thread? A lot of people actually believe this Bayern team is better than last season's.

I keep saying all other German teams got a lot worse especially Dortmund which may give the illusion this team is better when imo is definitely worse

This Bayern team is better than last season's, it is plain obvious!

The difference is that last year they were in a mission, which was to erase 2012's home loss to Chelsea. Now, they are complacent as fuck and they think they can score whenever they want. The disparity between them and their home league also doesnt help..

Barcelona is a good example of this: the team that will ultimately be remembered will be the 2011 squad and that 3-1 final at Wembley, but they were much better in 2012 when they lost to us!

This is football and anything can happen, but I highly doubt they will lose a trophy this season.
