[Pretty Boy]

This is now a MUST win game, no excuses about it now, it is at that make or break time of the season

 

[Hala Madrid]

Damn is Betis going to play with their B team or what? Pavone, Edu, Caffa, Mark Gonzalez, Rivera, Xisco AND Sobis will all be out You have no excuse not to win this game guys.

 

[zoric]

Sóbis is likely to feature, the same goes with Xisco, but I'm not sure about Rivera.

Pavone is suspended, Doblas is unregistered because of that injury he picked up a couple of months ago. Edú is out for the season most likely while Babić will be back in two weeks time, the same goes for González and Caffa isn't participating either.

They were extremely injury-prone the last time Atlético played them at the Lopera. Betis had to field a whole new backline, now it's a whole new attack, so yes, I'd agree, Atléti has to win this game, but they haven't won against Betis at home since 2003-2004, so, we'll see..

 

[Los Che Forever]

0-1 Goal scored by Oneday

1-1 Aguero shows off his beautiful face with an equalizer.

 

[Los Che Forever]

Oops

1-2 Xisco strikes.

 

[Los Che Forever]

And that's the game, surely.

1-3 Capi strikes for Betis.

Atletico on a loser here.

 

[zoric]

Nah, I don't think Atlético has anything to do in Champions League, not with this incapable defence anyways..

:dielaugh:

 

[Hectorious]

sometimes i want to suicide myself watching this team

 

[Pretty Boy]

Unreal. We are throwing this CL chance away

 

[fire]

i am now really worried now,even though racing have a tough game.another stupid loss due to the great defence.
great goal by aguero though.hope racing loses badly and lose its confidence and belief in the 4th place spot as i cant really see how we can keep this spot if they play well these last few games

 

[Los Che Forever]

Your lucky, Sevilla did a bottle job too.

 

[zoric]

That's what's needed if Atlético will ever get into the CL.

 

[Los Che Forever]

Racing losing too now, should be some race for 4th.

 

[brs]

Racing - Sevilla match would be the decider I think.
