Champions League 2013/2014

Ancelotti says he gave advice to Seedorf how to beat Atletico:

"Atletico play in the image of their coach. I remember Simeone as a player. He's smart tactically and gave it all. So his team are like him: strong, compact, with the mentality of a fighter.

"Milan must be careful about the counterattack and set pieces."

Were just going to walk right into it, no two ways about it. We hold possesion against 90% of teams and get burned on the counter, time and time again.

Arrigo Sacchi:

"Today Atletico are favourites, but be wary of Milan, we're talking about a team with extensive experience in Europe,"

"They are clearly not in a good period, but they have top players who can make the difference."

"Atletico are a great team, a real team, who play with very clear ideas. I've seen them a few times this season and they're spectacular,"

"I was struck by their game against Madrid at the Bernabeu in La Liga. They deserved to win. They're a strong, well connected team who have a lot of pace and work well together. Their collective game is at a great level.

"Simeone's work is great. There isn't a team as organised as Atletico in Europe. Their fluency in attack isn't always great, but the pressure is on the opponent. They have a great defensive organisation."

"I love Diego Costa's strength, aggression and grit. He's a modern striker who has been deployed in attack and defence,"

"There are plenty of good strikers who can only go in one direction, but he isn't one of them. He gives you a lot up front and at the back."

After watching the game, I realised the reason of congratulations.

 

[Bertus]

Verratti and Matuidi were monsters tonight.

Motta to but still.

Didn't think even for a second that this game would be interesting. Leverkusen has been pretty awful this season, and after this result . Tottaly tie finished.
