Atletico cleaned up... 4-0 against Schalke... 4-1 on the aggregate... and as typical in usual Atletico style, tons of yellow cards lol... but still they got through. Schalke is surprisingly out... and were playing with ten men in the end. Forlan and Aguero were on the score sheet...

fight between the manger in LP game
Because Liverpool are a classless team that don't know the meaning of sportsmanship.
Babel goes down, Liverpool kick the ball out so he can get treatment, Standard give the ball back to Liverpool. Stanard player goes down, Standard kick the ball out so he can get treatment.. Liverpool play on. Disgraceful really, especially when Benitez had the audacity to say Liverpool were in the right for doing so.

What do you mean overrated? They're certainly not among the top 4 sides in Europe and they succeed in Europe simply because they never compete for the league but they are rightfully among the top 4 in England...

Liverpool fans think they're the best team in the World. The media here think Liverpool are the biggest team in the World. I used to really respect them as a club, but I'm so happy that my club has shown them up to be very, very smalltime over the summer.

Their fans? They turn up at Anfield on a CL semi-final night, other than that, you never hear them. They finished 15th in the 'loudest fans' table last season.

Liverpool won tonight, but it came at a cost. Steven Gerrard needs to have an operation which will keep him out for 10-15 days. He may make it back for the Man U game, and should be fit for England. But no chance he'll play Villa on Sunday. Justice me thinks!
