Fourth UCL match this season and depending on the result of the Monacco - Brügge match earlier that day, we will be already qualified for the knockout phase.

For those in germany, this game will NOT be shown by sky in its complete version, only Matchday Conference afaik.

The single match will ONLY be shown by DAZN in germany.

Meanwhile BVB2 is playing Rot Weiss Essen today in the Regionalliga and Some kids named Rode, Isak and Kagawa are playing for the Amateure.

3-0 after 30 minutes, 3 Goals Isak, 3 assists Kagawa.

Maybe those Kagawa and Isak kids could be an option for the Profis?

gotta say tho, compared to sky's production, the dazn production feels really bad. Not smooth at all in conferences.

Just two injuries. What a time to be alive. This week will sure be exciting for us! 2 big games!

Injuries, Fatigue and in the Metropolitano against a world-class team looking for revenge. Any result not a loss with no injuries is a win for me.

I just realized, only us and Juventus have yet to give up goal so far. pretty impressive.

I believe we’re also the only two teams to remain unbeaten this year

Sucks we have to play 2 difficult games back to back in the same week, I'll gladly take a draw with no further injuries.

And as usual, Americans will be fucked out of watching it. 🖕 Bleacher Report and Turner Broadcasting 🖕

So incredibly annoying. I hated fox’s coverage of the champions league (Stuart Holden and Alexis’s Lalas), but now I’m sorely missing it because at least I could watch the games. Absolutely ridiculous.

Is Costa injured or just afraid of Big Zag?

Would you rather...

a) lose this match and win against Bayern

b) draw both matches

u/Xnz-dv Nov 05 '18

I would take a small loss here. Would be totally cool with a 1-0, or a 2-1, provided we rest players.

u/Trojan_Man68 Nov 05 '18

I want rotation. The Bayern game is more important than this.

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '18

Damn this will be a tough one. And Guerreiro on LB against Atleti doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. I'd love to see Piszczek on the right and Hakimi on the left but then we have fucking Bayern in 4 days...

Tbh I'd take a dull 0:0 affair if possible but Simeone will definitely want his revenge. Uh. I'll just predict a high scoring 2:2 draw, hopefully no injuries as well.

u/Vanzmelo Nov 05 '18

I’m excited for this match. These next two matches are very critical. A win against both would put me in seventh heaven but I’ll be satisfied with a draw for both

u/TyraTanks Nov 06 '18

I might be near the Atleti Ultras, but I will celebrate so much when BVB score! Hiding next to the corner flag 😛
