I was having high hopes of seeing Atletico madrid took down Inter Milan in this round, but after seeing the first game and the lasts games played by the Atletico Madrid is being more and more difficult to see it happening.
They are not playing good in LaLiga also.
You can’t be comparing the performance of Atletico Madrid in the La Liga to what you’re expecting of them to play against Inter Milan in the Champions League this week. If I can remember Atletico Madrid have represented more often recently in the Champions league than Inter Milan. I won’t allow their weak performance in the La Liga be an hinderance on not to believe in them prevailing against Inter Milan. As usual, it will be a competitive match and the better side this week will qualify for the quarterfinals.
This coming week in going to be a very big week in the champions league,as teams like Arsenal will be hosting FC Porto at home in a must win game for Arsenal,if they are to ever see themselves in the next round of the tournament.They were floged by FC Porto in the first leg,and will be needing two goals to be able to qualify for the next stage which is the quarter final.But to FC Porto,they consider the game over,because if they can just tie them down to a draw,they've already won the game.This will definitely be an interesting game to watch,as Arsenal will try to do magic for them to qualify and break the bad luck of not qualifying from round 16.
Arsenal will want to be at their best in this match but I feel it will be a very difficult match for them to just win like that. FC Porto one goal advantage at the first leg match will play an important part for them in this match, and if they can hold down Arsenal to a draw in this match, that’s the end of Arsenal in the champions league this season. When they had the chance in the first leg, they didn’t convert any of the shots to goal and FC Porto in the final minutes took advantage of theirs and turned it into a goal. I know Arsenal were not expecting a lose in that match but as fate has it, they lost and they have to fight back with more goals to get a qualification.
