So, you know, I don't... Unless Paris, you know, get two or three early goals, I really think it'll be a bit of a nail biter.
No, I mean, Atleti haven't been the Atleti of the popular imagination in arguably five or six years.
They've been...
quite reliably entertaining in La Liga this season.
I think the question is whether Arsenal can break them down, whether Arsenal can get over their own neuroses and get over their own kind of incoherence and actually put together an attacking performance worthy of the name.
Because if they do, I think...
It could actually be an entertaining game.
There's nothing that says that this is doomed to be a 0-0 or a 1-0.
There are also plenty of very good attacking players in the semi-final.
But yeah, I think a lot of my Arsenal friends are going, how are we even in the same competition as Bayern and PSG?
There is a real kind of inferiority complex that seems to have set in.
But they have an incredible opportunity to...
to get to a Champions League final.
And, well, I hope for their sake that they embrace it because this is a tie that is there for the taking, really.
Yeah, I thought United were okay.
You know, they were decent value in the first half.
And then I think Brentford came back at them quite hard in the second half and had...
Thiago taking in one of those chances that they got.
It could have been a very, very different story.
I still don't really know what United are trying to be.
