Some of the reactions in this thread are extremely embarrassing. Worse than some of the worst teenage behavior out there and I can't imagine what outsiders must be thinking reading such posts. It really speaks badly about the quality of this forum. Either close this thread 2-3 hours after a game involving C. Ronaldo or ban those users that get tantrums for said duration of time.
Now C. Ronaldo, after an invisible first game, is the second coming of Jesus Christ, Atlético (the same team that outplayed Juventus in the first leg despite having a worse team player by player and much less tradition) are completely useless, Simeone included. No praise to Allegri (who won Juve their game) but that is expected as he was deemed a choker less than 3 weeks ago much like Simeone was hailed as the second coming of Buddha.
One would have thought that Juve won the CL yesterday or that C. Ronaldo scored 3 bicycle kicks and not 2 headers 5-10 meters away from goal and a penalty kick.
Anyway happy that Atlético are out as I don't like them (dislike Juve more though) but they are our bogey team (2014, 2016) and one of the very hardest teams to play against over 2 legs. Today's shitty performance (worst that I have seen today from them) won't change this. They would have been extremely motivated as well since the final will be played at the Wanda.
We will have a better chance against Juve and our players, Messi included, should be even more motivated to face a Juventus with a Ronaldo onboard. In head to head matches in the CL Messi have come at the top every single time expect for the CL semifinals in 2008 where he was 20. Barely losing it to a Scholes cracker due to a gift from Zambrotta. Would have no doubt that we would see another repeat of 2009 and 2011 should we draw Juventus or face them in the semifinals or final.
