  • Benficaaaaaaa

  • Atletico got scammed by Man City in the Alvarez deal...

  • @MrNemobody Cholo plays defensively and very few balls reach him, look at the score, it was one of the least bad, a team that eats 4 goals playing very defensively has to review the contract of its technical director...

  • I think Atletico have too old and jaded of a squad to compete at the highest level anymore. They waited too long to start rebuilding the last league winning side

  • Ath Madrid DNB

  • @KingKeno The Most inconsistent team in Europe

  • 1X

  • x2

  • Atletico Wins, should be too much for Benfica energy wise

  • @KingKeno they are getting smoked, the sender would still wom

  • @MTM It happens my man

  • @FF2021 Under 1.5 first half goals!

  • @StickandMove very likely , but usually avoid these sides

  • @FF2021 true, anybody could stumble upon a goal in the form of own goal or penalty and from then on all your under bet is garbage!

  • Atico wins

  • Atletico easy win 0-1
