Atleti having a poor season so far. A CL group stage exit on the cards and they have drawn 5 of their first 10 La Liga matches. Are Simeones methods starting to fatigue them?

Could give that competition a real go too if performance levels are similar to last nights, and the atmosphere is something similar.

With a bit of luck in the draw, and perhaps the signing of an eligible and capable centre-half, it can't be beyond the realms of possibility to get to a semi-final or even another final.
It is almost cliché to talk about Ajax doing it last year, but it certainly gives hope.

Getting out of that CL group was never on the cards. Celtic were always competing for that EL spot.

When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

As Baggio said, just meant CL. I'm sure Celtic will progress to the Europa League. I can't see Anderlecht getting a point against Bayern and they won't beat Celtic by 4.

H2H. That's why Celtic are out.


How?

Celtic have to play Anderlecht at home, they've already beaten them 3-0 away from home.

So baring a scoreline greater than 3-0 they will go through.

I think that is in part due to the change of management and players. Unai Emery leaving was a huge blow to that ambition. 
Many key players have also left since they won 3 Europa leagues in a row. Just this summer, Vitolo left on top of Gameiro, Llorente, Rami, Krychowiak, Coke, Mariano. Benega was also sold but returned this year again. Atetlico Kicked on, Seville slowly dismantled their team and rebuilt it each summer with another 2/3 key signings and some failed. Ie Ganso. I don't think Vazquez hit the heights expected either last season, a number of new recruits this summer. Navas back, Nolito and a few others. 

Betis also strengthened heavily. Javi Garcia among a few well known names! Certainly makes the football better in the City Clap

One of the biggest name in world football scored tonight.

Sokratis Papastathopolous.

Unfortunately, his similarly monikered teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was unable to nab the winner.

About the 4th time now today you've been spouting sh*te about Kjaer on here.


Agreed on Kjaer, it's with good reason as to why he's never at one club for too long.

He's an ordinary defender, I think he rates himself a hell of a lot more than his ability matches up to.




He's played for huge clubs in each country bar maybe Lille were he made some form of a reputation. He's not exactly your average journey man either. He's still adapting to La Liga, the best league in the world. If he's a laughing stock in Italy then got help him here eh.
I rate him, I like him as a defender. But yes he's certainly arrogant from what I've seen.

I can see something similar this year.

Some teams will get battered.


Liverpool's 7-0 away adds to the argument there is too many teams in the champions league.

Or that the likes of Maribor are f**king sh*t and got lucky to qualify for the group stages.

Do you think the likes of Dundalk or Cork would get turned over 7-0 at home to Liverpool in the CL?
