@diarioas: Simeone avisa: "El césped no va a estar en el mejor estado"

Simeone warns: "The pitch won't be in its best condition"

Potato field incoming... it'll be an ugly game.

This shit really annoys me... How the hell cant a big team like Atletico Madrid get the pitch to a satisfactory standard?

I can understand it with the lesser teams but atletico madrid.... It better be some weather condition that is preventing them.

Real Madrid did it too under Mourinho.

Most teams have done it against us. Pretty sure Milan had an atrocious pitch when we played them a few years ago.

 

[Ini8]

Squad (vs Atletico): Ter Stegen, Masip, Alves, Piqué, Bartra, Mascherano, Mathieu, Adriano, Alba, Busquets, Rakitic, Xavi, Iniesta, Rafinha, Pedro, Messi, Suárez, Neymar.

As expected.

Ive noticed that when we're playing the cup/cl, Bravo is almost never in the squad while Terstegen always is when we're playing in La Liga. Its like Lucho trusts the german more

Wow... I'm from Bulgaria and the game starts 10PM my time. I think spanish federation must change times for La Liga/Copa matches kick off to be at afternoon like in Premiership.I think english teams have many fans in Asia/Australia, because they can watch premiership games in the evening, not in the night or early morning...

So last week you watched it at 11? Games should be late on a wedsneday since the majority of the people is at work/school in the afternoon. 8pm would be the best time, but its most likely at 9pm local since its the most beneficial to the viewers.
10 pm isnt that late though

Had a dream Masip played and did bad. We went to overtime (was it because I watched Chelsea-Liverpool earlier?) and won.
