Nobody wants to watch their boring football in the Semis and the Final. Diego Simeone's boring defensive strategy would have worked on a two legged tie.
Not all people think like you, bro. And not all people seems a defensive strategy as a problem. It is a part of the football match strategy and ever used by Inter to win treble winners. Well, a defensive strategy can't work effectively in all matches, there should be a weakness in that strategy. Maybe this time ATM isn't in their best performance, while Leipzig applies a better strategy. Also, their players can be more confident than ATM players.

Lol @ Simeone & his shit football, got exactly what he deserved. I’m still annoyed they knocked us out, that game at Anfield was one of the best we’ve played all season, I still don’t know how we lost, should have scored about 8, no jokes.
To win the CL you need to attack, to try & be the best team. Atletico under Simeone only know one way, defend, defend, defend, dive, cheat, grab a goal on the break, defend, defend, defend. Good riddance!
Well done Leipzig.
I am so happy Atlético Madrid are out To win the CL you need to attack, to try & be the best team. Atletico under Simeone only know one way, defend, defend, defend, dive, cheat, grab a goal on the break, defend, defend, defend. Good riddance!

Yeah! Spot on, their game is boring literally! but do what you're good at, all teams doesn't have to be an attacking prowess...

I wonder why people have problem with them playing defensively. Yet it might not make the game interesting but I dont totally see how it is relevant though
. All that matters is if they win the game but unfortunately they dont. I also dont see how they are going to attack with Leipzig playing that aggresive though, all they could do is pretty much wait for the right moment for counterattack so yeah it looks kinda boring but there isnt much choice

Edit: Felix already in.
Update: 88 min Leipzig scored another after Felix equalled the score. Now ATM 1- 2 RB Leipzig.
Crazy game, tho ATM will come back but Leipzig scored instead! 8 minutes extra time and congrats Leipzig for passing to the semifinal for the first time!Edit: Felix already in.

pathetico de Madrid getting KO'd by a team that's been in the Bundesliga for like 4 years...beyond embarrasing
Indeed, beyond embarrassing for ATM and unexpected for most people tho!

Well, I don't think so that loss against one of the best Bundesliga teams is something embarrasing. Hats off to Nagelsmann who did amazing job with Leipzig in these few years.Atletico were favorites, but I wouldn't call their loss as surprise. It was battle of similar level teams and I think Leipzig were slightly better tonight.

@tomahawk9 you’ll have to wait for one more year to post those memes now, and yea I’ll second that as I too believe that Atletico will progress ahead and face PSG in the semi finals round.
hmm, you never know, they could choke vs. Leipzig...regardless, the memes are saved on my imgflip acc, patiently waiting until psg lose lol LIVE REPORT!
Told ya ..
Atletico could be conceded first and they do conceded now ... 1-0 for Leipzig.
Both teams to score? I think so.
The match might will go through extra time even a penalty shootout.
Typical Atletico Madrid .. playing a negative football , relying on the quick counter attack.
Morata and Joao Felix might will come up shortly. They need it.

Yeap, it's typical ATM. In every big stage they only know how to bus park in their defensive area and look for a chance. But Simione should not follow the same method against this team Leipzig. They will have the chance if Morata and Felix come in. But I think ATM is going home after this match. Let's see.

Sh1t... Didn't expect to see Leipzig scoring first but the goal was well done and finished. And you are right, Félix just entered the game, 8 minutes after the goal..Told ya ..

A very defensive lineup from Simeone. Felix, Morata and Thomas are on bench. Costa alongside Anfield hero will start as the forwards but Leipzig specially need to look after Carrasco. A little space and he can beat the entire defensive line in single dribble.
I am rooting Atletico Madrid. Let 'em show why the Spanish football is best in Europe!

I think it is the right choice to setup a defensive side here.They are playing in a neutral location which should be a boost for them and a minus for Leipzig.Although I love Spanish football this time I am with Leipzig as I think they are one of the big surprises of this year in the Champions League.I know though that most probably Atletico will go further however in the first minutes of the game Leipzig is playing better.

Anyway, I think PSG didn't play well in this match. I don't know where are the superstars of PSG like Neymar, Mbappe, or Icardi. I can't find their names on the scoreboard.
I think the first eleven players who played without mbape weren't that good. Just look at when mbape came in to replace Pablo Sarabia, PSG's attack got sharper and better, even Mbape gave a beautiful pass to Choupo-Moting who turned out a goal. As for neymar I think she's still fine, it's just that she's unlucky. Congratulations to PSG, you have made your fans anxious when they lost 0-1 and made the supporters happy when the score turned 2-1, just wait for your opponents, Atletico or Leipzig.

Atl Madrid are definitely the more favored. I took Atl. Madrid for -0.75 (asian handicap). Very confident Atl.Madrid will be able to take the win today. at least one goal is enough.
It will be an interesting match. Because it was RB Leipzig for the first time against a team from Spain.
on paper, ATM is far superior... (^～^)It will be an interesting match. Because it was RB Leipzig for the first time against a team from Spain.
I chose ATM, I am very confident with this choice even though yesterday in the Atalanta vs PSG match I had to lose. I hope there are no more surprises in this match and ATM can proceed to the next round casually.
You are playing that Atletico will win in regular time. My bet will be winning even if they win after extra time or after penalties and that is why the odds are lower. Those odds are from Sportsbet/Stake and their odds for regular win are 2.27 so exactly like yours 
My bad. I didn't have that in my mind; so I thought you were betting the same as of me. And yeah, odds are same there too. I thought 2.27 is good enough since we can expect ATM to win without much hassle. It will be an interesting match. Because it was RB Leipzig for the first time against a team from Spain.
I don't think it will be much of interest. RB Leipzig is playing UCL for the first time and FYI, they don't have their main hero Timo Werner anymore. 
but I am not betting on anything other than Atletico to qualify @1.65
1.65 seems to be too low man. I got 2.27 for Atletico to win which I think decent. Which bookies you are using? I'm using betbtc for a while now it seems they have bettter odds than other.Didn't see th above image by betbtc.
