Atletico 1:0 Liverpool. Well, we can say that plan of Simeone worked perfectly. We saw typical Atletico football at it's finest. Can't remember when last time I saw Liverpool making 0 shots on target.
I don’t think Atletico will be able to win or draw at Liverpool stadium and most probably will suffer a big defeat no matter their extra defensive game play that they have shown in this first leg.
I am not surprised that Athletico Madrid has 3 points against Liverpool without a conceded goal. They have a very strong defensive system and D. Simeone is an excellent coach in defensive tactics, maybe he is better than J.Mourinho at some aspect. The team of Simeone does not play ugly like J.Mourinho's teams.
Borussia 2:1 PSG. Actually, I expected more from this game. It was really boring without many dangerous moments, until first goal was scored. What I can say - E. Haaland is simply amazing player. As I said previously, I backed Borussia tonight, so their wn bring me some nice profit.
Me too. I expected an openned match rather than the really tightened and very boring one as we saw last night. PSG, one more match, has not shown their ability to play well in Champions League. If they won't improve in the next clash against B.Dortmund at their home stadium, they deserve another failed season in C.League.

I didn’t post last night because I was so annoyed at our result. We have to accept the style that Atleti play & find a way to get past it, sure it’s really ugly but after they got the early goal they were always going to play that way.

Let’s see if they can cope with a big European night at Anfield, much better teams than them crumble at Anfield. I’m confident, we have a good chance to turn it round.

Simeon's extraordinary coach deserves to win the cup, A brave man is standing on his feet to guide the players Roll Eyes He can influence fans' enthusiasm and ask them for more chants and chants and this makes you feel that he runs the entire stadium !!! Grin I think this guy can bring down Big Liverpool. We'll wait for the return match.
Dortmund achieved the victory as expected as well,He will definitely cross to the next round.
Yeah ATM is a good team and Simeone is a good manager too but better to not underestimate Liverpool also. They could come back easily, that's applicable also for PSG. 1 goal difference is not reassuring at all in both games.

Liverpool's situation is really not good, they will play at a disadvantage and if Atletico de Madrid scores 1 goal at Liverpool's home and then just keep defending until the game ends, Liverpool may lose the game. Anyway the game that catches my attention today is this:

Tottenham - RB Leipzig

I wonder how tottenham will perform in today's match Grin
Yes Liverpool is in an awkward situation but they have to deal with it.
For today games, yes Tottenham one is more interesting but I think Leipzig will win 1-0 or maybe 2-1. Yesterday surprises may occurs also in Atalanta game? Tongue

I hope that Atlético can overcome his “curse” and finally win this cup!

Of today's matches, I think that Tottenham will definitely win... Well, the most interesting matches 1/8 will be next week! Wink

I don’t think Atletico will be able to win or draw at Liverpool stadium and most probably will suffer a big defeat no matter their extra defensive game play that they have shown in this first leg.

For Tottenham I also think it will win tonight because I think the Premier League is just much stronger and with bigger competition than Bundesliga,of course removing this year where Liverpool is 25 points ahead,I say in general Premier League is stronger so that is why I will bet on Tottenham and the odd was over 2.2 odd.

Today probably I'm going to bet on Spurs win. But it's going to be interesting game, it's similar level teams. Maybe BTTS is good idea if odds isn't very low.
And Atalanta - Valencia. I don't know what to expect from this game.
Dortmund achieved the victory as expected as well,He will definitely cross to the next round.
Well, they weren't favorites before thevgame according to bookmakers. And 2:1, especially with away PSG goal is tricky score, I wouldn't say that they definitely will reach next round.

Liverpool really did not play well last night. Atletico played their classical defensive game, scored a goal in the way they usually do, but overall deserved that one goal that they scored. Morata missed the ball 10 feet from the goal so the result is probably good for Liverpool.

There were too many touches on the ball from Liverpool players, Atletico shortened the pitch and really made it hard to play. I have no doubt that the return game will be different, Liverpool had space to play even yesterday but most of our players simply underperformed. It will be a close game for qualifying, this is the best possible outcome for Atletico.

I loved the atmosphere at the Metropolitano, Cholo is doing there what Klopp is doing in England.

Oh yeah, by the way, the ref was clueless.

Well,  we could see 2 unexpected results yesterday.
Liverpool is almost perfect in England,  almost all victories but in CL they have a lot problems and already lost 2 matches with Napoli and now Atletico.
CL is really strong competition with many very good clubs,  and if you don't play well or make even single mistake you loose.
Now,  Liverpool will have very difficult task to pass Atletico and chances are probably 50/50.
The same for Borussia and PSG  
PSG is the best club in the French but it seems that in CL always something missing and PSG  can't achieve good result.

I was surprised by yesterday results as both the better teams which had better players lost their first leg of this round.I have not seen this happening often in this round but I guess the stronger teams will go all out on the return leg.I think that both Liverpool and Paris will qualify and I think this bet of which team qualifies has better odds now that they have lost their first leg.

It turned out that Liverpool were still not good at UCL because they couldn't win over Atletico last night and only in my domestic league were they respected but at UCL there were so heavy rivals but this time Liverpool really slumped.

Dortmund has a Halaand sticker that can be relied upon and is able to save the team for its victory, I would have guessed Halaand is a shining player in Dortmund.

Actually Atletico came up lucky with their first goal otherwise it could have ended with a draw or probably 1 goal for Liverpool. Atletico played quite as expected but next leg would be very much different.

On the other match, Dortmund really played well . Sancho was creating chances while Haland was just waiting for right moment. Haland has a long way to go though. He is not a complete package but with years of experience he will come out as finest forward. He is good in finishing just need to do little bit of work on movement area.

Although Athletico Madrid had a bit of luck in the first goal and it was the early minutes but it made the players confident of their victory, they were strong in defense so Liverpool could not return the net until the end of the match.
Now the percentage of possession cannot be guaranteed to win Liverpool's evidence for being unable to return a goal.


Tottenham vs RB Leipzig I have more confidence in Leipzig in the CL match tonight because it has a good performance also in the Bundesliga so when playing in CL also no doubt. My prediction is 0-2.

What Erling Braut Håland is currently doing is just unbelievable. Another two goals in a Champions League game. He's only 19 years old and already scoring like a young Christiano Ronaldo. 7 games, 10 goals, 1 assist and an average of 46 minutes per goal. He really pushes Borussia Dortmunds game to a new level. If they can repeat such a strong performance in Paris I am sure they can make it to the quarter finals.
I hope Dortmund can win this, it will be a difficult task for sure.
But if Haaland is playing too good, the problem arises that other clubs will get interested. I hope that won't happen soon, he's contributing to Dortmund a lot, especially because Reus is missing so often.  Cheesy

Meanwhile, Liverpool failed to register a single shot on target the entire match. Is it just me or Liverpool's goals seem to be getting hard to come by with each match that passes.

That's what happens when you're have been almost invincible all through the season, that means your opponents will be spending several extra hours to analyze what should be done to contain them, there is still a tie at Anfield to go, but trust me Liverpool to don't want to find themselves going behind at home again too, it's definitely going to be game over, I can assure you.

Another two goals for the unstoppable wonder kid Haland. He now has a total of 10 goals in the Champion's league at this stage  Shocked
He has totally silenced critics who said he would not make it in Borrusia Dortmund.

Meanwhile, Liverpool failed to register a single shot on target the entire match. Is it just me or Liverpool's goals seem to be getting hard to come by with each match that passes.

Borussia is the perfect place for him right now. Good move from him and Raiola. But he has a clause around 80 m€ if I can remember correctly.
Anyway, for now, he is a beast and maybe he is not even at his prime.

Atletico Madrid is the only club that believed that 1-0 can win a match  Grin, I knew they will defend all through after scorring in 4th minutes of first half,  Arnold was no where to be found with his crosses,  still can't believe that Liverpool had 0 shots on target.

As regards the Dortmund match,  Haaland proves that he's a potential Balon D'or Winner with his spectacular display,,  Psg could still scale through,  they have an away goal and I think that will go a long way in making  them to qualify for the next round
