Seriously for the importance and quality of courtois save , they deserved more rating Whoscored. You cant generalise all saves under same rating , whats the purpose if world class saves arent appreciated? 33% pass accuracy was due to his long balls
Atleti XI via AS
Courtois in goal, Juanfran, Miranda, Godin and Insua defensive
Gabi and Mario in the double pivot, Arada, on the right wing, Koke, on the left, and rebound Raúl García and Diego Costa.
AC Milan has really poor team work, defend really bad at set pieces, opposite of what Atletico is. Who knows...San Siro has this amazing atmosphere in CL matches that can boost their team performance, but im confident Atletico winning this.
Even Arrigo Sacchi says Atleti will go through but el cholo is as focused as ever. This fixture will be a delight backed bysome great atmosphere & shrewd tactics
@hindy - those loses were unfortunate , own goals , deflection & in almeria game the tard ref who is on 1-month ban now. Atletico are on rhythm now , even barca couldnt touch them , milan is still a building novice
One could assemble almost an entire XI from Milan's injured / ineligible / suspended players :) Jokes aside - Milan seems like a team during transformation thus there is a yet a long way ahead of them when it comes to fulfilling all of their potential. Atletico on the other hand, after a catastrophic run of three consecutive losses without even scoring a solitary goal (!) seem to be getting back on track after a solid performance against Valladolid and start to resemble their old selves. A narrow Atletico win (0-1 or 1-2) or a draw (1-1 or 2-2) seem like a scoreline this tie is going to end with.
Atleti wont give any space to milan to build on , even if they do find some way they have superior ball winners who can launch lethal attacks. Even madrid dint get open play dominance , 4 of our 5 goals were defelction + penalties reiterates the fact how tough they are score against. It will take something special to beat them & milan certainly arent up for it.
milan? no no no, they must concentrate on the league. atletico is much stronger then this weak team milan. milan is no team at all. and besides that, a lot of injuries for milan. atletico will eat milan alive. and dont forget diego is also a madrid player.

And Rami with 7.1?????? HAHAHAHA!!!!
Courtois with a 7.0 rating??? Balotelli with a 6.6???
diego on bench löl
Stegan and all are little kids in front on courtois tbh
Barca got owned 2-0 at san siro , and atletico beat milan convicingly , such a quality team driven by grit , commitment & master
Courtois is the best young keeper in the world. Period
And much credit goes to costa & simeone , koke & courtois were excellent as well
Atletico has a irongrip on this tie now , well played.
Vicente Calderon is a fortress, great result for Atleti
diego on bench löl
Why is Adel in the midfield and not behind the strikers? Could be a big mistake.
And honestly milan dint play so well the whole season , good game by them too
Positive start from Atletico , they need composure upfront , thats it
There couldnt be more stable team than current Atleti XI , Classic Cholo
Atleti 2-0 or 3-1 unless something epiphanically extraordinary by rossoneri
Atleti is much stronger on paper , lets see if they deliver under el cholo

Other match doesnt interest me as its obvious whats gonna happen there so i'm patiently waiting for this cracking fixture . 0-2 i predict
3-1. :)
I hope milan overcome ferocious atlieico madrid.
1 - 2
1_0
1-1 Milan get outplayed but show their grit.
0-1
Villa is out , Raul Garcia in
0-0
i predict 2-0 victory for colchoneros , costa & turan strikes
This could be the most unattractive , banal and vulnerable milan side i'm seeing in years.

Napoli would have been better opponent than spineless milan
look at the midfield of both the teams and its no genius that atleti will bulldozer them
courtois is back , thats a major boost , aranzubia was an embarassment

Atleti wont give milan a moment to breath in the congested space. Milan will probably choke at their own home.
Forza Milan!
most underrated & kickass fixture
