Copa Semi Final 1: Atlético - Barca 4-0

[Latschenkiefer]

Is there any reason to keep watching?

 

[Respekt_III]

lol - this was expected at some point.

 

[Andresito]

Total embarrassment but xG is still only 1.64-0.50

Atletico could easily have scored 7 there.

Barca concede.. then just cannot wait to get as high a line as possible and Atelti set traps.

Rinse and repeat all half.

Doesnt help when GK starts like that either obviously and he was bit ropey on 4th also.

This was a fuckup from Flick. Should have played 4-3-3 with Eric as DM

They paid 30M, that's nothing for a player like him.

30m is a lot for us last summer.

This feels just like those CL humiliations all over again. All these years, no amigos left, and we are going absolutely nowhere.

Not really. This feels more like the post Messi years when we had 0 talent in certain places and we just couldn't compete.

No Raphinha
No Pedri

That's 2 major areas of the pitch we cannot replace. Not to mention 2 of the top 3 players on the team.

these new school amigos are the real downfall

My countryman is having a show in Wanda

2 things I criticize Flick for.

1. Your 2 best pressers aren't available and Atleti plays with much more passion in cups than in the league. Playing the same suicide line under this circumstances in the first away leg isn't a smart thing to do.

2. Casado. I understand he wanted to keep Lewy on the bench as a good option in the second half. But it was so damn clear, that Casado will be physically abused by cup mode Atleti.

 

[ZenI]

Griezman having a really good game.

 

[Masetro10]

Is there any reason to keep watching?

Yes because this will be a historic moment either way

 

[serghei]

The problem is we were completely outclassed in terms of intensity by AM. And once this happened, then they clowned our clownish defensive set-up.

 

[Birdy]

Total embarrassment but xG is still only 1.64-0.50

First goal did not even have xG, own goal

all 2nd, 3rd and 4th were mid-chances with great executions

The biggest ones were the one Garcia saved early, and the one Kounde saved over the line

That's why only 1.64

 

[JamDav1982]

Casado came off as he was dire, on a yellow and Atleti were leaving him open to get on the ball.

But the others were poor also.

 

[malvolio]

Wouldn't put it past Atletico to concede 2-3 in the second half.
