Champions League 2024-25

Yes. But if the defense is that strong... Madrid is cooked. Quite impressive display from their backline, zero errors so far almost.

Yeah and I don't understand what Madrid are trying to do with these crosses. Best they can hope for is a bad clearence or a slight touch. No way they score a direct header with these players.

Mbappe's face looks kinda swollen?

Pretty much all of their European comebacks have come from spamming crosses to be fair.

No significant yellow cards in Inter - Bayern yet?

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Perfectly played from Arsenal. That's how you protect a lead. We should learn from this.

I know but then there were very different players

Too much blushing from the diving?

Ancelotti is one of the most basic coaches going. Wouldnt expect much else.

Yeha spamming isn't that effective idea with current players. Vino, Mbappe and Rodry don't score headers. That's why they have Rudiger running to make runs at 40min in.

This is Ancelotti's parasite football tactic. Wait for opponent's mistakes and when they defend barage them with crosses. Anyhow luck will hit after 45 crosses.

newcastle killing it

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

They must think Mbappe is CR7 or Bale with all these crosses.

Arsenal doing great job defending leaving only one these, which is great for Arsenal.

 

[serghei]

Arsenal look like they've been going through the motions in every competition this year only to go full force in CL.

True. One of the most basic going but that’s not a popular opinion around these parts. The Madrid comeback tour elevated him higher than he deserves.

They're defending quite well. Better than I thought they would.
