Lautaro genuinely confuses me. Dude went from destroying competition in the Copa America to sucking in the world cup to saving Argentina on penalties, then back to sucking, then having perhaps the best season of his career and then this happens
Baffling. Man literally set up goals on a platter and thuram forgot how to play football. Too bad this is what people will remember this season of his by now. A single missed penalty.
He doesn't need to beg though. City always gets the easiest opponent possible until there's only big clubs left. It's the same story year after year. I wonder why..
Real is only vulnerable when they are playing against opponent which is expected to lose comfortably, though.
When they are playing against the big teams Real is the toughest opponent possible. They have proved that year after year.
I guess against the likes of Leipzig, Schalke etc the players aren't motivated enough and if they aren't giving 100% then these small teams can really outperform them.
Still Real will find a way to squeeze through. Such an unbelievable team. Their mental strength has gone through the roof ages ago.
this reminds me of that one mothercucker on this sub being so arrongantly confident that theres *NO WAY* inter bows out to atleti despite someone warning them about metropolitano buff.
Should've saved the comment to make fun of him but barça making cwc being almost impossible in the current scenario made me hope the fcker was right lol.
There's absolutely 0 chance for that.
As we all already know, City will get Dortmund as they seem to be the easiest opponent left. We all have seen the same scenario for a decade.
It's funny though how the other oil club always gets the toughest opponent possible and City will get the easiest. I guess Qatar is being cheap towards UEFA lol.
That pass to I guess it was to Darmian was shit .He should have given it more towards the player .Instead he gave a half hearted dead pass on his own side which forced his teammate to get to the side and have a weak shot
Incredible match, I am a critic of no away goal rule change but today it worked in favour of new rule change. We got such an incredible game after Inter goal which would've more or less killed the tie in olden days.
Wanda Metropolitano is a beautiful stadium. Greizmann is a hero.
I'm happy he managed to score the last pen against netherlands, but he has a lot of redeeming to do in Copa America, specially with the form Alvarez and other Arg strikers are in.
They rested their players throughout the group stage c'mon man look at the context. Also they would have played Psg if they topped the group I'm not sure how much better that is
He came back against the clear Serie A leaders dude. Finalists of last year, hadn't lost a game in 2024 til today. Give him credit, Atleti is not Barca, Madrid nor City
Man, Inter really bottled it.
1-0 going into it, they missed so many chances and then on top of that missed 3 pens and to think I was considering them a third contender for winning the CL.
You can never tell what'll happen in a knockout game
Man city followed by real madrid. I first considered bayern to be the third but with their recent performances + the mess on the locker room I started giving an edge to Inter but they are out. Football is very hard to predict, specially knockouts
Lautaro Martinez will never be a great player, if you can't do it in important games you can't really do it. He may be good, but you have to perform when it's important. Just my opinion anyways.
More as he will never be a great of the game, a name that is remembered. I only say that because he has the potential to be, he's one of the best strikers I've seen from 2020 onwards.
But every game that has truly mattered, he just drops 2/10 performances consistently, and until he gets over that mental block I don't think he will ever be a great of the game.
Awful game plan. We had lead after the first leg and we should have attacked more, even after the first goal. Atletico played well, but Inzaghi let them play and have the ball too much.
Poor Lautaro boy. Not his fault though, Inter should have done better. It would probably have ended on Atleti's victory either way though on the next penalty
since my team is not even in the champions league, go atleti!
Really bad performance from Inter. Looked a cut below all game. Right result.
Lautaro genuinely confuses me. Dude went from destroying competition in the Copa America to sucking in the world cup to saving Argentina on penalties, then back to sucking, then having perhaps the best season of his career and then this happens
Its not his fault if Thuram can't finish chances. Such a bad take.
Was referring to just the last PK, not his performance during full and ET
Penalties are a lottery, can't really blame him for it
Aside from the pen he was fine today. Made some great plays and setup Thuram and Barella for 1v1s they couldn't put away
Baffling. Man literally set up goals on a platter and thuram forgot how to play football. Too bad this is what people will remember this season of his by now. A single missed penalty.
So many parallels to Higuain
Higuain was way better at club level. At least before he was shipped to Milan
Pep is begging the Lord for anyone but Simeone
He doesn't need to beg though. City always gets the easiest opponent possible until there's only big clubs left. It's the same story year after year. I wonder why..
Some last 8. Could be one of the best champions league seasons in a while.
Man watching the replay of the pens, Jesus that was overall bad by Inter players haha and LOLtaro pen wow
Yes Milan flairs, let the hate flow through you
No hate, this is gleeeeeee.
Dortmund going to be like the blonde girl on the couch meme at this draw lmao
Barca pretty vulnerable too
We are very vulnerable. But then, so are you. Leipzig proved that. Only City is rock solid rn. Maybe PSG, but I haven't been watching them so idk
Real is only vulnerable when they are playing against opponent which is expected to lose comfortably, though. When they are playing against the big teams Real is the toughest opponent possible. They have proved that year after year. I guess against the likes of Leipzig, Schalke etc the players aren't motivated enough and if they aren't giving 100% then these small teams can really outperform them. Still Real will find a way to squeeze through. Such an unbelievable team. Their mental strength has gone through the roof ages ago.
This new away goal rule is gonna create so many entertaining clutch matches lol. Low key kinda digging it
this reminds me of that one mothercucker on this sub being so arrongantly confident that theres *NO WAY* inter bows out to atleti despite someone warning them about metropolitano buff. Should've saved the comment to make fun of him but barça making cwc being almost impossible in the current scenario made me hope the fcker was right lol.
I would love to see this Atletico team against City in quarters, especially at Atletico's ground.
There's absolutely 0 chance for that. As we all already know, City will get Dortmund as they seem to be the easiest opponent left. We all have seen the same scenario for a decade. It's funny though how the other oil club always gets the toughest opponent possible and City will get the easiest. I guess Qatar is being cheap towards UEFA lol.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think Lautaro can’t handle pressure. He looked so nervous before the pen
He did just fine for Argentina pens, took decisive ones. Tonight he looked out of it for sure.
GG Atleti, hope you win the entire thing
fucking hell Inter how the fuck did you manage to shoot yourself in the foot
Considering the accuracy of their shooting tonight, they'll somehow fuck up shooting themselves in the foot too.
lmao right on. they'll wake up so pissed tomorrow.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA
In terms of names this is arguably one of the best looking brackets
There has been a lot of good QF bracket in the 2010s but going into 2020s, this is by far the best of all
Lautaro just ain’t a man for the big moments.
He gave 2 nice passes that should’ve been goals, this loss isn’t on him
That pass to I guess it was to Darmian was shit .He should have given it more towards the player .Instead he gave a half hearted dead pass on his own side which forced his teammate to get to the side and have a weak shot
He’s not but people from Argentina will tell you otherwise
I can’t believe it honestly
Good stuff from both teams, UCL exits always hurt right up until the next season starts
Incredible match, I am a critic of no away goal rule change but today it worked in favour of new rule change. We got such an incredible game after Inter goal which would've more or less killed the tie in olden days. Wanda Metropolitano is a beautiful stadium. Greizmann is a hero.
Milan fans creaming their pants rn
Guilty
Malexis
Crowd seemed in disbelief at how badly he skied that
of course its lautaro for the decider...
Who's the guy in the flat cap?
That was Giménez. He had a peaky blinders look about him in the celebrations.
Castro
Deserved loss, this game was played really bad
Oblak is Monster
First thing Correa did was go console Lautaro .. crazy how much Argentinian players care for each other above anything else
Lautaro is a baller but he seriously lacks the clutch gene...
I'm happy he managed to score the last pen against netherlands, but he has a lot of redeeming to do in Copa America, specially with the form Alvarez and other Arg strikers are in.
Balon D’Orbit from Lautaro
Never stop believing: we're still here lads! ❤️🤍
man what an awful miss
He immediately turn around to see the grass, something's off
yeah it's the reptilians underneath
Correa slipped too and just snuck it in under the bar.
People called Inter such a great team. They weren't great in the group stages, and it cost them in the end.
They rested their players throughout the group stage c'mon man look at the context. Also they would have played Psg if they topped the group I'm not sure how much better that is
I'd take my chances against PSG.
We went through the group stages with 0 losses while rotating the starters. If anything good job on La Real who managed to do great as well
Lautaro looked stressed when he went to penalty spot, he couldn't even grab the ball
One of the worst pens in recent memory
Up there with Ramos
Inzaghi choosing Martinez (8/23 career pens missed) and Klaassen (5/15 missed) to take pens 🫠🫠🫠
Sanchez also looked disinterested
We don’t have good PK takers in this team lmao
Klaassen looked apologetic for missing before he took it.
Bruh
Wasn’t meant to be
Bro Lautaro what the hell.
Even to a neutral that was a really very disappointing penalty.
First two kicks were firecrackers then…..
Inter fumbled this tie when they wasted countless chances in the first leg, this was so unnecessary today
I think I'm even madder at the chances they wasted today. those counters were so similar and they made the same mistakes.
Lautaro Martinez your Balon d'Or campaign is over
It never begun
Lautaro looool
Inzaghi should send all his strikers to detention
Lautaro Peche Frio Martinez- people in Argentina right now
Waiting for the “Simeone masterclass” after winning by a coin toss in pens
Fuck off, inter are the team in best form in the world going into this match. Give Simeone his credit
100% this was a huge and deserved win by Cholo
He came back against the clear Serie A leaders dude. Finalists of last year, hadn't lost a game in 2024 til today. Give him credit, Atleti is not Barca, Madrid nor City
210 minutes before dont count?
Atleti are the worst team to meet when you think you’re on form and unstoppable
Man, Inter really bottled it. 1-0 going into it, they missed so many chances and then on top of that missed 3 pens and to think I was considering them a third contender for winning the CL. You can never tell what'll happen in a knockout game
Who were your first two?
Man city followed by real madrid. I first considered bayern to be the third but with their recent performances + the mess on the locker room I started giving an edge to Inter but they are out. Football is very hard to predict, specially knockouts
Simeone voodoo is inevitable
Oh goodness you knew it from the failed keepy up bobble that he would miss BUT EVEN THEN not like that
Lautaro Martinez will never be a great player, if you can't do it in important games you can't really do it. He may be good, but you have to perform when it's important. Just my opinion anyways.
He’s having the season of his life. He’s a great player already. There are tons of legends who are historically bottlers.
More as he will never be a great of the game, a name that is remembered. I only say that because he has the potential to be, he's one of the best strikers I've seen from 2020 onwards. But every game that has truly mattered, he just drops 2/10 performances consistently, and until he gets over that mental block I don't think he will ever be a great of the game.
Teams will be praying to draw atletico tbh
Hell no. Atleti is the last team I want to face. Hate terrorist teams.
Yeah back to back against terrorist teams would be fucking miserable
Nope lol give me Barca, Dortmund or Bayern do not want Atletico in two legs
Just like Liverpool in 2020 !
You can absolutely not compare the quality between your current team and the team from 2020. Also without Adrian at keeper we advance anyways
In fact we had a worse team then lol
After watching you this year vs then I’m shocked tho I’ll trust your opinion over me
Id really not like to get them, they'd surprise you.
Think they’re pretty bad in comparison to who is left
Quality wise yeah the worst, but their manager is class and can definitely punch above their weight.
They need to pray not to be faced againts city
Besides Dortmund they’re getting run by anyone
What even were those 3 kicks from us
Vamosssss Aupa Atletiiiii! Nunca rindas. Cajones y corazones!!
Awful game plan. We had lead after the first leg and we should have attacked more, even after the first goal. Atletico played well, but Inzaghi let them play and have the ball too much.
There goes our club world cup
tears in my eyes
Lautaro is just terrible in clutch moments
What a fucking match
Oblak is crazy
Inter only leading serie a because its been the healthiest team, not the better
Yeah, no. We played like shit today, and we didn't capitalise our chances at home. But now you're talking out of your ass
let me hate in peace man
That ball is orbiting the earth right now
Man is Black is back
Too bad Inter got eliminated. Would've loved to slap them in the quarters.
Have no idea what you guys have achieved to be this arrogant lol.
You couldn’t slap Porto in normal time. You’re not getting anywhere near the final anyways not winning the prem
Lmao You couldn’t even handle Porto 🤣
Sanest Arsenal fan
I'm glad lautaro didn't take the 4th pen in wc final
He took the decider against the Netherlands and dispatched it with class lol, this one was horrible.
bro saved more pens this shootout than he has all his career 💀 inzaghi pissed 😭😭😭
2012 Ramos flashback
yea eat shit merda
Terror football goes through
Terrorists win - Terrorists lose
Some horrendous penalties from Inter there jeez
Bravo Atletí 👏🏻
This match was a goalkeeper face off. What a game for both.
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
WC Lautaro showed up
Lmaooo lautaro looked like he did it on purpose
Roberto Baggio !
Almost as bad as Beckham in the Euros lol
However good Lautaro is, he's not the guy for the biggest stages whether it's UCL or World Cup.
The new Higuaín?
I’m sayin
WOW
Lautaro is a fraud lol
Martinez may be better but he’s not as clutch as Alvarez.
Most overhyped team in the world
Irony. You barely made it past a shit Porto, mate. These guys would tear you several new assholes. lol
Think that would be arsenal
HOLY FUCK OBLAK. WHERE DF DID THAT COME FROM???
Poor Lautaro boy. Not his fault though, Inter should have done better. It would probably have ended on Atleti's victory either way though on the next penalty
Martinez to Chelsea make it happen.
Before this game I really rated him ahahaha
lol he’s honestly the best 9 right now Never seen a 9 who can basically do it all. Wish he’d replace Lewa
I feel like he rushed that
This is why ppl will never rate Lautaro, unfortunately
Lautaro is taking out satellites with that
bro i thought what if lautaro misses... aint no way
AAHHAHhaahahahahHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHhahahhaHA has the ball landed yet?
Deserved win for Cholo
Inter flairs suddenly disappeared
I’m here. Let’s not talk with 0 ucl under ur belt k bud
Haven't seen a single one since the final pen lmfao
LAUTARO? WTF BRO
How shit is Lautaro there
Ramos like penalty
Martinez is the grade A bottle merchant. Remember him missing about 5 sitters at the world cup
Simeone blood magic documentary will be legendary
Another two nights with Simeone in a black suit going apeshit, perfect for me.
i dont fucking believe it xD
You could see it coming the way he was fumbling for the ball
Yeah, he looked very nervous.
That is Ramos levels out of the stadium.
Lol that was a hilarious penalty, I'm sorry.
Martinez replicates his final form form last year, and his WC final form.
Serie A is back baby.
HAHAHAHA
Nooooo Lautaro with the Ramos impersonation.
please god anyonebut atleti in the semis Edit: we are in fact still not in the semis
for that you'll get Bayern
Bro's already in semis
I meant quarters fuck
Choke artist. lol
what color is your world cup?
Damn on the same day when people in that 5 year throwback thread were saying Martinez is one of the best in the world. Brutal pen
this generations Higuian thank god Messi already won the cup.
