Madrid were unlucky, Atletico Madrid were lucky. Simple. Not saying they didn't deserve it, because they deserve it. They worked their asses off and put everything they had on the line. You could tell from the manner the players played the game. They made their own luck of course. It's just like Chelsea against Benfica this past Wednesday or Bayern last season.
Depends on how you define lucky. Is hitting the post unlucky or just not a good enough shot? Yeah Real had chances they should have converted so in that sense I guess you could say Atletico were lucky but I'm not how Real were unlucky. They had their chances and didn't take them. Jose clearly didn't give a fuck. At all. Ronaldo was a boiling pot all night. Real gonna go HAM in the transfer market with ins and outs.
Standard of officiating in Spain is farcical. Really is. Last night was really bad but I can't think of a game I've watched this season where I thought the ref did the game justice and had control of the match.
The refs being biased against Madrid is a new one, so I don't know why anybody would complain. I'm pretty sure that ref was tired of Madrid's drama, theatrics, and on-going internal issues.
I think Atletico deserved the win because they won and I'm happy Madrid didn't win.
Feel for Northampton and Aidy Boothroyd but starting Clive Platt was a terrible decision, never been a fan especially after his spell with us (Coventry City), obvious game plan of playing it up to him and having O'Donovan play off, trouble is Platt is one of the worst big men in the air I've ever seen.
I couldn't feel sorry for Aidy if I tried and even if he is a Bradford lad as he think he cost them the game before a ball was even kicked. I knew we were going to win but was expecting a long, tough battle against the always awkward Akinfenwa so to see him named on the bench just sealed the victory for us. What was even more baffling to me was that even after half time at 3-0 down, he made a somewhat defensive sub in taking a striker off for another striker. 3-0 down, played off the park and totally dominated and there didn't seem to be any sort of urgency, or balls to the wall approach to try and force their way back into a game that was a comfortable as could be for us. It just felt like we did to Northampton, what Swansea did to us not so long ago.
What an awesome last day of Bundesliga. Hoffenheim trouncing Dortmund was something I don't think anybody expected. :lmao Grosskreutz @ GK.
Bayern (Y). The two surprise goals at the beginning were a horror, but we clawed back and controlled the game completely after 20 mins. Muller's movement is ridiculous. He takes 2 defenders w/ him wherever he goes and seamlessly slips away when someone passes to him.
