Atletico is only good at defending when it comes to playing against big teams. Atletico only wants a draw from this match against Manchester City. Their plans won't work out in this second half.
Eleven players' defence from Atletico makes the match not entertaining at all. Counterattacking is it the best solution for Atletico to win the match?
Man City should start shooting from outside the box in this second half

I already said it that Simeone has a plan for this match. The man is a strategic man. Imagine what simeone is doing in this beautiful match. He doesn't care about anything else apart from to defend. And looking for a means of counter attack. He is making the match boring though. Talking about shooting from outside 18 box, it is only Kelvin that can do so, but he has been locked out of doing so. The only option for Guardiola is to introduce Grealish to replace Sterling. Mahrez has be has been doing all the work.

I'm betting on Manchester city on this match, i don't think that atletico madrid will hold till 90' before they receive a goal, they kept defending most of the time and that's not a good sign for them, i hope I'm true on this. For me Manchester should at least win this and it won't count the extra timing fir my bet.

Even though Benfica are playing at home, Liverpool is too strong for them, and this match will be an easy win for Liverpool. Most likely Liverpool will score again in the 2nd half, so I predict Liverpool will win with a score of 3-0 without reply.

You are right because after all Liverpool are much stronger than Benfica. But it looks like your prediction is wrong now, Benfica scored and the provisional score is 1-2. Cheesy

While Man City did look to dominate the match but they struggled to break down Atletico Madrid's defense because from the start of the match Atletico Madrid did play defensive football.

I don't like Simeone's strategy, it's too boring in big games like the Champions League quarter-finals. I hope Manchester City can score goals and force Atlético Madrid's players to make mistakes in defence.

As I said, Simeone looks like he was aiming for a draw today and capitalized on it at home in the second leg. It's not fun, we have to enjoy the open games from both teams at the moment.

I don't know how Manchester City still haven't scored until this minute. The ball is always with City players, they found many chances, but we still could not see a goal. Even if Atlético Madrid does not appear on the field, I think it is very difficult for them to score points from this match.
Unless Manchester City make a big mistake, they will win this match. I think they will reach the goal they are looking for in the last half hour

Although Liverpool and Manchester City are favorites in the first leg match but until the first 20 minutes but only Liverpool have a 1 goal lead. It's probably good to expect wins from these two favorites and I don't think they will disappoint in the match.

However I don't think it's difficult for either of them to win the first leg even though all teams deserve the same chance here. I went to watch Manchester City at the moment, that's more interesting in my opinion.

The match between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid is a big match today, but I personally see that the match between Benfica and Liverpool tends to be more exciting, even though Liverpool have a 2 goal lead, but in that match it was seen that Benfica also put up resistance against Liverpool and often reciprocated the attack between the two teams, unlike the Manchester vs Atlético match in the first round, where Manchester City was more dominant in controlling the game, while Atlético only survived completely without any dangerous attacks for Manchester City.

Liverpool vs Benfica, i did not bother myself much about the match because i really predicted that Liverpool will win the match, from this first time or half the way Liverpool is pressing Benfica it shown that definitely that they will more goals in this second half, because the two goals in this first is making Benfica to feel reluctant and Liverpool is getting more stronger and trying to penetrate more.

Liverpool is already leading by a goal and they will also consolidate on that. I don't think that tonight match against benfica will be a problem to Liverpool. And if Liverpool is able to win tonight match, it means that there will be no chance for Benfica to even breath at Anfield.

We have 35 minutes played and now Liverpool is up with 2 goals already. The first one kind of came out of nowhere after a corner kick but situations like that are also a part of the game of course and Liverpool has always been very dangerous in situations like that because they have big players like van Dijk and Konate which are very both great in such situations. The second goal happened after a great pass from arnold. Now Benfica really gets their stuff together and needs to keep playing very disciplined and concentrated. They still have a chance if they are able to score at least 1 goal but if they receive another one today then i think it's already over for them.

I can confirm to you that as we wait for the break to be over, Benfica has no single chance again. No chance for them because Liverpool is going to score atleat 1 more goal which will make it impossible for Benfica to make a come back either this night or during the second leg. No emotions and no surprises, it goes as predicted. No one will gamble that Benfica will win or qualify ahead Liverpool unless someone, unless an unrepentant optimist.

Meanwhile upon a the attempts, Guadiola and his boys couldn't find the net against ATM.

Was anybody keep an eye on the two managers at the touch line in the City-Atlético Madrid match, jeez these guys can express themselves to the max, I was carried away and started watching their animations Grin

hope the match doesn't make them enemies...a draw wouldn't be a bad result for a start Tongue

In the other match Liverpool is in overdrive against Benfica with two precious goals at the break of the first half and from the look of things the Reds aren't done yet, expecting two more goals here!

The game is still long enough to enjoy, I only look at Liverpool now because it hurts too much to watch two games at once.
At the moment the victory is clear for them I think Liverpool really dominate and if you look at Benfica they are only focused on their defense.
currently 30 minutes into play Liverpool have created at least 9 chances and 4 kicks, one of which can be converted into a goal.
This is something that is quite worth seeing

I have no doubt Liverpool qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League after they got the draw against Benfica, it was an easy team for Liverpool to beat today. The first half, Liverpool ended it with a 2 away goal advantage.

In another match, Atletico Madrid's defense was very good and very tight so there weren't many chances for Manchester City to create in the first half. I didn't see any Manchester City players shooting on target throughout the first half and this was predictable considering Atletico Madrid are very focused on defence. After the break, Manchester City had to make some changes to score goals because so far the game was a bit boring to watch. Simeone's total defensive strategy was not very interesting as they only got the ball from the mistakes of Manchester City players and launched a counter-attack. It's a difficult game because Atletico Madrid are very afraid to play open.

Liferpol must play carefully against Benfica, even though liferpol is superior in this match but liferpol has bitter memories when liferpol was bent by Benfica in the champions league event, at that time Benfica was still being trained by Ronal Koeman, this year's Benfica also appeared very impressive they too managed to throw the Spanish giants Barcelona into the European ligue, but I am optimistic that Liferpol can beat Benfica tonight, and can look at the second leg a little easier.

Why do you type Liverpool as liferpol?

Manchester City vs Atlético Madrid game is on and it looks rather balanced than a one sided game despite being in the early minutes of the game. Pep renews his vows with Simeone having dated back from the days of Laliga and I see a game of mutual respect rather than a competitive match.

My prediction City 1-0 Atlético Madrid

Simeone will play a defensive game and will rely on counter-attacks, Joe Felix will be the spearhead for ATM, he will be assigned to counter-attack, because he is young and still able to run, it is very difficult to break into the ATM net, because they play defensively, but I am optimistic that Manchester city will be able to break down the ATM defense and break into the ATM net, I think Mahrez Diego Silva and Bruney will be able to make ATM bite fingers tonight, at the same time this match will be a revenge event for England representatives, because in the round of 16 ATM succeeded . get rid of manchester united, tonight's prediction is manchester city vs atm the final score is 2-0, I will bet on the victory of manchester city tonight.

In the Champions League in the past, Real Madrid have always looked good and have been very consistent in playing, it looks like that will also happen this season because considering that last season Real Madrid were also beaten by Chelsea and they also managed to bring the Champions League title last season.
So this season is another opportunity and it is extraordinary for Real Madrid to prove themselves that they also really deserve to be champions in the Champions League.

Chelsea seem better equipped to face Real Madrid and an attempt to repeat their success in thwarting Real Madrid will be sought by Thomas Tuchel through the likes of Jorginho and Ngolo Kante.
In the match against Brentford yesterday, Thomas Tuchel kept Jorginho on the bench and Tuchel also pulled out Ngolo Kante by bringing on Lukaku. For me that is one of the efforts of the German coach in facing Real Madrid.
Ngolo Kante and Jorginho will be the players who will share a role in facing Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge in the 1st leg.

I think that was really clever from the coach. he was saving his important players for the important matches. I think we all know that it is not going to match much of a difference in the English Premier League for Chelsea even if they try really hard.

so, they are concentrating on the Champions League. and in my opinion, that is the right way to go. with the preparation they are taking I don't think Real Madrid will be able to come out as the victorious team against them.

Playing at the Chelsea stadium (Stamford Bridge) may make it difficult for Real Madrid to develop their game but Chelsea is not necessarily capable when playing at the Santiago Bernabeu. This had happened before the UCL draw that brought them together or rather it had happened when Real Madrid faced PSG. Losing 1-0 in the 1st leg and Real Madrid were able to control the game at the Santiago Bernabeu so Benzema was able to make a hattrick.

Man, I took Atletico way back when it was 85/10, and today, on Sportsbet, odds are 13.72 with a very special Super Boost active... if that's not screaming value, I don't know what is. Still 10+ mins to take that!

I'm going to make it hard on myself and just put in whatever pennies I could on a Liverpool/Atletico parlay for almost 20/1.

Who else is bloody excited, cause I am!
