Apparently a section of the supporters turned their back on the pitch during the CL anthem, as a protest to UEFA’s ban? I like the jab at UEFA. It was plenty salty if not justified.

I really have a hard time agreeing with Aguirre’s decision to leave Kun on the bench during the first half. In terms of player rotation, with Ageuro in need of a rest – I get it. But in terms of “We’ve lost 3 games in a row and morale is going the way of the bathwater,” you start your best player.

But anyways, the draw still leaves the rojiblancos at the top of their group. (4 to 3 on GD over the merseysiders.)

Luis Garcia and Sinamme Pongolle being former Reds. The Anfield will have plenty of Spanish armada (Alonso, Arbeloa, Riera, Reina, Torress).

Not to mentioned, Javier Mascherano will also plenty of friends (Kun, Maxi, Franco, Banega) welcoming him to the Vicente Calderon.

By the way, please welcome to my blog and share us your thought on this round of Champions League matches. Truly appreciate your views.

With Atletico’s form lately and especially weak defense against Liverpool who can’t seem to lose no matter how hard they try, things don’t look good. I’m scared.

Also I’ll be looking for someone to hold me gently and console me during the match!
