I told an arsenal fan that tico is likely to Knock out arteta than ancelotti madrid ,the guy self no agree with me

You won’t blame anyone sha ,most of them only follow Madrid on paper and they will think mbappe vini will be able to take care of any team
This present Arsenal would defeat Athletico Madrid leave story bro. I have watched Athletico Fumbled consistently against Barca this season and also saw them getting knocked out by this weak Real Madrid team. Our midfield will definitely wear them out and we will come out tops if we are to play them. Most people are making the mistake of thinking the current Athletico is the old athletico who are the maestro of low block; they are not !(At least from their matches I've watched this season)

Inter on the other hand is a more balanced Athletico Madrid that is good in almost all department. Inter can match us in all departments on the pitch ; In fact they are the only team that bested us in this year's champions league thus far. They have a way of beating our press every time from the back to midfield.

In the group stage, we had 63% possession to their 37%, we played 20 shots and none found the back of the net, we played 13 corners and none was converted. They simply managed to score one PK against us and closed shop.

false, the most balanced Team in the UCL currently is Inter Milan. The are now favourite to win the UCL
I respect your opinion.

I understand that you don't want Barca or Arsenal to win the UCL. Most, if not all Chelsea fans share your sentiment but how can you look at the remaining 4 teams and declare Inter as favourites. Even the bookmakers are tipping Arsenal to go all the way. Well, For me there's no clear distinction between the remaining 4 teams. They all have a 25% chance of winning. Every game from now is 50:50.

Liverpool were tipped to win the quad yet they were eliminated in the R16. When two equally matched teams collide, the word "favourite" becomes nothing but a buzz phrase.

On Arsenal being the most balanced team, I mean if Tico and Inter are mentioned what comes to mind...defense. If Barca and PSG are mentioned what comes to mind...attack. But for Arsenal, it's both. You can't clearly classify Arsenal as an attacking team, neither are they defensive. They are a mixture of both which makes them the most balanced team remaining in this competition.

Abegi, you guys play the worst Madrid in recent years. Make una enjoy the moment for now because winning the UCL is a bigger task than beating Madrid in both leg.

Likely to Knock out arsenal than Madrid doesn’t mean the game can’t go your way

You see as you beat Madrid like thief you no go do am against tico in 2 legs ,and yes I know this is not the same old atletico ,but dem still get that small firewood

Don’t even use how Barca plays to judge how atletico will fare against you guys ,they also won us once at home this season though ,atletico hardly wins against Barca normally

All this you said about Arsenal can also be said about Inter Milan.

Inter Milan in UCL
Win 9
Lost 1
Draw 2
Goal score 19
Goal concedes 5

Arsenal in the UCL
Win 9
Lost 1(lost to Inter)
Draw 2
Goal score 30
Goal concedes 6
The edge is Inter Milan having beaten Arsenal previously.

This Athletico team just lacks that defensive core that makes them tick. I've watched them since the beginning of this season, and I just kept wondering where that their old ruggedity went. Inter looks more like the old Athletico if they want to be.

Of course I don't mean to say we will score loads of goals against Athletico if we are to play them, but we can certainly get something out of that tie. Whether na goal from Corner kicks or counter attacks like we've been doing lately, we will surely waylay dem.

Their defenders self are average aside le normand ,though they are trying

And you are right about inter looking more like the old atletico

Those una corner kicks sha ,you guys are specialist there ,I was surprised you didn’t score any against Madrid ,or maybe because Gabriel wasn’t available grin

We nearly scored couple of Corners last week, but Courtois just spread everywhere like virus, he no allow the ball enter. But yesterday our corners were very poor (by our standard) and I think it is solely because we were focusing more on not leaving our half too open while contesting corner kicks to avoid break away counterattack from those fast Madrid wingers.

I think Simeone has change his tactics and approach, he now favour his team scoring more goals than conceding, you see Atm now scoring more goal now than the usually do. And ofcourse, the defenders he has now are not as tough like the like of JuanFran, Godin, Stevan savic that can keep the defense line solid for 90mins.
