Champions League quarter-final, first leg (A), pre-match thread: Atlético Madrid - Leicester City FC

[Harry96]

Can't waif for this, they haven't been great this season but are still very good in Europe and Griezmann is one hell of a player.

It's not easy but than none at this stage would be. Hopefully, Simeone Does the same as Seville and underestimates us. Just get something to hold onto in Madrid. The KP will do the rest. Spanish teams are use to having four big games a year. This plays in our favour.

Yesterday the major tv sport media in UK, did very little coverage on the theme.

PL champions get to quarter final...1 minute waffles anything worthy....No!!!

But detailed reports on Man.city, Manu, Chelsea.....and bottlers  Spurs and Arsenal.

Surely we need to move that fixture.

It would have been moved if we played Tuesday, but nope, not for Wednesday.

Atl Madrid about to play Seville right now (kick off 3:15pm) and on Sky Sports 2 if anyone fancies a scouting mission!

[lcfcfoz]

Injury and sub already

[AlphaMaleFox]

Leicester City Trophy, decent atmosphere 

[Koke]

Sevilla aren't getting a sniff. They can't get out of their own half due to Atleti high pressing.

[AlphaMaleFox]

Crossbar!

 

[Mease]

What a chip hitting the bar, Madrid on top, they look good

[Koke]

Atletico are totally dominating this. They look great.

[sylofox]

Wonder how long it will take for this to be locked. So new name Madrid v anyone match thread.

[Mease]

     vs 

 

will be interesting.

[AlphaMaleFox]

Atleti ultras in good voice, but we were told that without a roof / roof far away (Olympic Stadium) the sound just disappears 

[Mease]

How are we going to get a game of football on these are a Spanish Leicester.
