The first goal came from inside the penalty area as he received the ball in a difficult angle but his side foot got the better of the goalkeeper and gave Brescia the 1-0 lead. The second goal was a corner kick which fell to Palacio and his effort from close range made it 2-0 for Brescia.

  1. Elanga “I was told to “scare” Atletico Madrid by manager Ralf Rangnick”

    A good lesson from ATM vs MU clash in CL. In football “it’s not that the opponent play better, but more on we play badly.” Lucky, Simeone, Bielsa and Poche is not given a chance to take over N/T after Sampaoli era failed.

    Simeone is not clueless, but rather disoriented and “scary” to play against Ronaldo; maybe traumatic; he choose to be defensive and placing 5 defenders at the back; not controlling the mid and attack even when you’re leading. With no striker. Benching Rodrigo De Paul and Suarez, and late / wrong subs of player. Felix is better than Correa, Yes Correa tried to be everywhere but it ends with nowhere. Most of his time play at the back, helps the defense and forget to score the goal as he get no support. I prefer Correa as super subs role than starting XI. Play RDP from the start as he is the engine. I don’t know what is going in Simeone mind in a team who have the best striker Suarez and Griezmann.

    A 8 second formula ; Rangnick formula of 8 second; watch how Bruno grabbed and passed the ball to 19 yrs old Elanga within 8 seconds. the beauty of football strategy. A good watch and worth lesson for football fans.

    A not good day for Bielsa. We keep respecting him but he keep losing the games. I am afraid Bielsa should say goodbye to Leeds United fans by this summer. It’s better for him and the club.

    Poche need to improved and started focusing to win with his Ferrari team. Don’t bother with the MU or Madrid offer. CL is in the corner with high competitive games ahead.

    • Well, that pass from Bruno was Ok pass, but nothing special as Reinildo could have stayed on his feet and just stop Elanga or at least stayed on his feet and tryied to stop Elanga instead of give him a free run and Oblak should have stopped that soft kick which hardly rolled over goal line, so in the end one double misttake followed each other starting from Reinildo and ending with Oblak, otherwise Manu had absolutly no other chances created or nothing dangerous at all as ATM hit woodwork at least twice and even letting Manu control the ball posession Manu could not create jack shit as they are super lucky team as allways been to get an free goal given by ATM’s Reinildo and Oblak, and i think CORREA’s work rate is just way beyond anyone’s and also i get your point of he being everywhere and not really getting anywhere, but i don’t think Felix is necessarily better than him as both had 2 different Jobs to do and in the end even Felix scored i rate A.Correa more valuable player as he is totally and only playing for his team, which will be the case also with Arg and try to imaganing him pressing with Toro and Nico up front, well it might end up by stealing lot of balls up front and to Direct goal scoring oppurtunities for Arg .

      Anyhow i rate A.Correa currently the most valuable player for ATM AND RDP WILL PASS HOPEFULLY THAT ONE DAY,BUT SO FAR HE HAS NOT YET FULLY SPARKED FOR ATM, BUT I THINK HE WILL AS HE HAS SHOWN ALLREADY IN SOME GAME’s that he have played WHAT HE IS CAPABLE OF DOING, BUT, YET NOTHING CLOSE TO WHAT HE HAS DONE WITH ARG!

      But, Yes u are right about Cholo’s approach as they could completly killed MANU as allredy with players from this game allmost beat MANU 3-1, so maybe would have been hood idea to bring RDP on specially after that super lucky goal from Manu, but Cholo had other ideas etc..

      Hard to say in the end what would have happened if Cholo had brought RDP, GRIEZMANN AND SUAREZ IN AND KEPT STILL A.CORREA ON, BUT as u said he might still suffer from those old sympthoms from Vicente Calderon and specially from previous Penaldo who has unfortunatly scored 4 hattricks against ATM, LOL!

      But, the current Penaldo is done for good as he could not create any danger whatsoever with his team Manu against ATM ! And Yes Cholo should had gone for more goals and kill Manu allready at first half as they were quite close doing that infact on both half, though Cholo and ATM let Manu kind of back in to that game
      , but Still Manu could not create anything and also not scored if only Reinildo and Oblak would have stand for their standard’s, but football is full of surprises and Manu has alkways been super lucky team, lol ! Omg, Palacio it is truly, only if he could have converterd those chances in the Final 2014, well he vould not and should not even been there as there were also others as Alvarez and Glass leg Gago and others which could have been a better bench picked by Sabella, but he picked those he picked and in the final the bench was literally not there at all or kind of non existing during most of the tournament etc…Still Palacio or Pipita should have scored, but luck was not on Arg’s side either til’ only now after 28 year’s finally well deserved trophy as Copa at Maracana were won, though Arg could have easily won at least 1-perhaps even 2 or 3 WC’s til now and god knows how many Copa’s etc…but, it was not for some reason not ment to be even Arg should have truly and much deservedly won so much more, but life is what it is and one can can only keep supporting his only team in whole world as our beloved Albiceleste ” La Selection ” !
