UCL way to boring for what games we have lately so I don't get it how a game between Atalanta and Real Madrid can be over with just only 1 goal scored. The game as awfull, both teams were bad and the referee had no mood for that game as he did not even wanted to check VAR... . I think the only game that deserved to be watched , was Barcelona PSG and nothing else.

Also , it was a disaster day for betting ...

I cannot deny that the game was somewhat boring, but in this case betting is a different world, of course what was expected was that Real Madrid won with force, all more emotion in these games, but we could wait, I am sure there will be better presentations, the level of football that was shown was something bad but congrats to those who won in general.

It’s football buddy, some games are tight with low goals. It doesn’t help with the no fans situation, it’s killing football. Empty stadia sucks the life out of football.

lol why it was a disaster day? I believe most people assumed City to win which was the case and for Real Madrid, I believe their supporters do trust them to win which was also the case although many waited to see Atalanta do something.
Overall the game wasn't that bad, that red card made Atalanta concentrate less on attacking, that's why the game doesn't have many goals as expected. For the VAR, no need to check it since it is pointless to give 2 red cards for the same Atalanta's player. He deserves it and the decision was right.

Both matches yesterday were pretty underwhelming in my opinion.
Man City didn't even play that well but it was still more than enough to beat Gladbach. They could have even scored more goals than they did.
Madrid vs Bergamo was also not very exciting. The very early and probably unjustified red card for bergamo resulted in a defensive battle from bergamo for the rest of the match and Real barely managed to score a goal close to the end of the game.
They really need to improve if they want to reach the semi-final or more.

Manchester City got a nice result even though they were not very good. It shows that Gladbach are really bad right now and City will finish their work in the second leg very easily. As for Atalanta-Real Madrid, I think the result is still not too bad for Atalanta if we think that they played with 10 players for a very long time. I didn't like this Real Madrid even a little and Atalanta have still a chance to make it to the quarter final as Real Madrid are struggling with injuries too.

I won the bet in both the matches yesterday. But those two matches were not competitive. I thought Gladbach would be able to put up a strong resistance against Manchester City. But they have failed miserably. They were not able to make any strong attack. On the other hand, getting a red card at the beginning of the match slowed down Atalanta's gameplay. As a result, the match was not competitive competitive

~snip~

Manchester City could really have scored at least even 4 goals in this match but I assume they didn't want to wear out so much as they are gonna play against West Ham home in two days. They are trying to balance the two tournaments I think. They want to be the champions in the EPL and do their best in the CL also.

IMO Real Madrid is very lucky to win this game with that kind of the game play. I also agreed with you how long they could remain lucky and with current game style it would be hard for them to survive in next round where competition will be more though so they need to learn from their mistakes and improve it before this game.

Seems my idea worked out Smiley Chelsea won 1-0 and they should have even win with at least two goals ahead since Chelsea was clearly the better team with some missed chances.

That really surprised me winning with 1-0 against Atletico. Great job with getting advantage over if first leg but yeah its not job done yet Wink .


The team is much more stable in the defence and the offensive is more effective. That doesn't mean that they will move on to the next round. The second leg will not be easy. But they scored an away goal so they can play for a draw now. All cards are with Chelsea.

Still with the depth like Chelsea has right now they should be scoring more goals...

I agree with you. The only thing you have to criticize about the current development of Chelsea are the few goals they score. They have many good opportunities that they often miss. If they become even more effective, Chelsea could at least make it to the semi-finals of the CL. It's also up to Werner, who hasn't really made it into the team yet and has more of a support role in the offensive, on the contrary to his time in Leipzig. I am curious whether he can make his potential available to the team in the upcoming matches.

They destroyed Atalanta? Don't know why game you watched but playing the biggest part of the game against 10 man and just win with 1-0 in the last minutes isn't really destroying your opponent.

They were still struggling against 10 man. Of course they had a lot of ball possession but Atalanta just let them have the ball.

I think this is one of Real Madrid's poor performances. Despite having superior in the number of players since 17th minutes, Real Madrid looked struggling to break the Atalanta defense and was only able to make 1 goal at the last minute.

Of course, with more players, Real Madrid dominated the ball possession. Moreover, Atalanta prefers to play defensively and rely solely on counterattacks. But despite all that Real Madrid already has good points ahead of the second leg, so they are having a great chance to advance to the Quarter-finals.

According to the performance of Real Madrid in this game, I think the result could be way different if Atalanta didn't play with 10 players. Because it was totally obvious that Real Madrid had so much difficulty in even this condition of Atalanta. They hardly managed to win it 1-0 with the goal Mendy scored in the last ten 10 minutes. I'm not so sure about Real Madrid qualifying for the quarter final yet. They are still not credible and there is still a possibility that Atalanta may eliminate them.

Real Madrid just didn’t want to go further as in the moment Atalanta got a completely unjustified red card from a big error from the referee Real calmed down as they know they are going to easily qualify for the next round.Real has a lot of injured players so they are hoping to recover some of them for the next game after they pass through Atalanta.It should be a walk in the park the return leg for them in Santiago Bernabeu.
True there were a lot of injured players but real madrid players are not performing well this season if it werent for the red card they would have not win and the next match wont be easy but with this poor performance even if they pass this round when they play against bayern or city they will lose.

Yes Atalanta deserved more than that. They were able to stand Real Madrid attacks with only ten men and it's very sad that because of a referee mistake this game couldn't be played fairly. Ref jeopardized the whole game.
Will Atalanta be able to build from here and get a just revenge in Madrid? That would be great!
Refs have always made some bad calls and spoiled the game but teams have been able to turn results around in their favour.

 On the other hand what we saw last night Atlanta should still have fought to stay in the game and not laying low to show displeasure of the refs unfair decision, this is the champions league that away goal will haunt them, hope in their next fixture the won't come with kid gloves at a grown ups meeting.

I also expected Real to play more offensively and to try and put the tie to bed after an early red card to Atalanta. Real is struggling lately which was evident again yesterday and ultimately they deserved the win but can consider themselves a bit lucky because they did score a goal late in the game.

With 0-0 yesterday, I'd consider Atalanta as favorites going into the 2nd leg. This goal will put some pressure off Madrid players and will probably be enough for a comfortable game at the Bernabeu.

The red card was absolutely a generous gift to Real Madrid. It made things easier for them and they completely destroyed Atalanta with their very nice performance. They finally scored a goal in the 86th minute and won 1-0. But it is still very good for Real Madrid as they had many injured players.

Without Atalanta getting a red card, it would be difficult to face Real Madrid, this early minutes Atalanta immediately played with only 10 players.
It is not surprising that during the match Real Madrid controlled the match, but because many Real Madrid players could not play because of injuries.
So Real Madrid can only score one goal through Ferland Mendy in the 86th minute when the match ends. In my opinion Atalanta is just unlucky
to experience this defeat, hopefully in the second leg there will be no more red card incidents. So the match can be more interesting.
Real Madrid can not dominate the game or destroy the Atalanta in more than one hour when they played with one more player after the red car. Without the late goal from Mendy, they would have not won it. Atalanta has nothing to lose in Champions League and they proved how strong they can be in the past season in Champions Leauge. PSG won against Atalanta very late and luckily.

I think the second leg match of this pair will be interesting. Real Madrid need to be very careful with the attacking power from Atalanta even they will play it at their home stadium, Bernabeu. Benzema can help Real Madrid to take advantage of hurry to equalize from Atalanta and score ahead to put more pressure on Atalanta.
