Sandia.

Manet starts with Mohammed Saleh at White on Rather than use a strike partnership.

This, says the starting lineup for Athletico, it looks pretty Orthodox, really.

I love this formation for 4 to 2 main strikes.

Still a long way, just the ideal stones.

Well, let's have a look at that replay as a defender.

All the defenders in the box you've got to be a pessimist.

You gotta expect something bad happen.

Back off the keeper and now it's in the back of the net.

So back playing once more on the lead belongs to Atletico Madrid.

Go back now, dyke with it.

Here's Robertson your money.

Now it's money getting forward effectively.

Okay, history off.

Athletico Madrid in terms of semi finals, 1974 It was not a pretty game against Celtic, but they got through to lose in the final two by and desperate to get through this year.

Well, they are.

The carrot of that final around the corner is so huge.

Sometimes that can do strange things to players in the dressing room.

And so just gotta make way running time of perfection and the booth.

Wait, this is what you get.

A great let's go earlier.

Go Counsel on a case.

Something to get the freak it to a clinic.

Really disappointing effort.

You've got to say way, way, way off target.

Really poor effort.

But his head Alexander Arnold has it.

It's with robots for me.

No, for being, you know, way from keep your concentration for gold keepers spots on.

They're gonna played into the booth.

Gomez Mrs Santa Joe Gomez money on a not quite accurate enough medicos European story as a compelling one.

Remember, Lee is a young boy watching Atletico in the final of the old European Cup, losing two fired after a replay that was staged two days after the initial Where, exactly they have got rich past and certainly moving forward.

Athletico Madrid will always look a the Champions League and expect to progress to the latter stages under the Shadow Realmadrid.

Yes, but they don't create a shutter themselves as well.

Read it superbly.

Detect back possession from one side of a pitch to the other.

Here's actually Chamberlain small movements here.

Next crowd have gone crazy and quite rightly so.

What a finish that is.

Well, they seem like just a matter of time.

Before they scored delicate inside play.

Go conceded.

It's going down.

You come up with an articulate response.

Go Mays possession, lost, intercepting, exquisite, passed by choking Korea well, that this house and nullify the opposition teammates to play it.

It's a story they just couldn't stay in front on.

Now this match is all square.

Let's have another look at this, he wasn't expecting a ball When he comes to him, he chooses early to Bali Water finish slightly different vantage point in terms of the gold that was stored.

Once again, the sides are level.

This a kaleidoscope of shifting emotions on three minutes will be added on for stoppages.

Okay, Trivia.

Now, Cody.

Not much defensive cover there on the flank.

No more time.

Up to this point, lead has plenty of support.

Takes it easy.

Indict Robertson by now, promising as itwas scuppered.

Seven.

Okay, unforced error.

You've got to say anger inside the final 30 minutes.

Obsessed with finding a forward gear can do from this position.

Clear the way.

Approach A Vandyke mine.

A chance to imitate on the defender takes care of business by now.

They're not Bates.

So leaping Joe Mannix.

Okay, Liverpool have given us away.

Thomas Okay.

With reining in the game to win possession visualization on execution.

Sure you want to say this again?

Where is everybody?

Nowhere to be seen as an open goal on a substitution in the opening, Madrid having fallen behind, they got to get into an attacking gear.

So possession on patients, the watchwords.

Lavinia, not the case.

Only 10 minutes remaining here he's enjoying himself.

Replay Never liked rebound goals off goalkeepers.

The defenders should be.

There probably would have been my fault on that occasion.
