Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage!
This was the true exciting group for all neutrals. One team was perfect and one team was absolutely terrible and this was AC Milan. And it was such a heartbreak too after getting the last injury goal in the 5th game,,, Ibrahimovic must be feeling devastated they cannot even continue in Europa League.
Atletico is crazy. Start the last game bottom, finish the group second.
The good thing is, Ibra now has the opportunity to play more in Serie A, this will give Ibra time to rest with less AC Milan's competition schedule. Hopefully, Ibra will not face too many injury problems in the second half of the season, so he can get title again with Rossoneri.Atletico is crazy. Start the last game bottom, finish the group second.
Hopefully this turns out to be true but Milan needed to rely on him less and less already this season,,, not more. So I do not think he is a big factor for them at Serie A on the pitch, they just need him in key moments and at training where his fitness may not have such a big impact as they are now paying him for his experience (I believe).
When all other clubs were playing rubbish. Liverpool had 18 points which means it won all its group stage matches while other clubs had low points, Atletico Madrid had just 7 points and was the second on the table, it was not still encouraging at all.
Yes,,, I can read the table and you are responding kind of like what I was saying
I do not think it was so much about playing like rubbish though Atletico had a very good first game against Liverpool, and Porto did as well against Atletico, and AC Milan had a great 5th game. Liverpool just proven too strong that is all. This was the Group of Death remember.
