But in a weird sort of way, and I imagine a lot of people feel similar, maybe they don't, I am incredibly intrigued by it.

And I will watch it.

Oh, yeah.

And I think I will enjoy it, even if it is that boring drab nil-nil, purely just for it as a spectacle.

do they cancel each other out in terms of like they just go for it because they're like well we can't just both play a low block here and sit back someone's have to go and try and win this game I know it's been pointed out by people on the show before but like Atleti aren't Atleti you know they're not the same yeah and that's not necessarily a good thing or a bad thing we don't know we'll have to wait and see but they do offer a threat they offer more of a threat than Arsenal do they have attackers who are

or is there a Jose Mourinho who's being lined up again to take over Real Madrid looking at that going no no that's a tennis score he used to give out about that yeah I don't think it would have any impact on tonight's game I think whatever's in place whatever plan is in place all that's fine but it's maybe going forward I don't know and that is how it works there's shifts in how people view the game and how approaches are made but

You couldn't but be... Mesmerised by it, yeah.

I have a little bit of sympathy for the... He worded it slightly funny, I think, by saying it wasn't a great game.

I think it was a great game.

It was definitely a great game.

But in that context, you could absolutely make the argument that

for it to be one of the greatest games of all time you have to at least see some form of you know defensive yeah otherwise it's baller league it's like 23-22 it's the greatest game of all time it's not I think McCann did have this amazing bit of defending unbelievable

but that was literally it the only the commentary Gary Breen I don't know I was watching it on Premier yeah and they were saying because obviously they'd grown up together and they were all the people from the village over yeah it was class and they're like it's like on the centre stage there's no one else in the shot there's just the two in the half of the pitch and that was class and I thought he was gone when Dembele was sizing him up there and he did well to be fair to him at Pamecano

Zipped it.

Yeah, there was a couple of them went in at funny sort of angles.

Yeah.

Farris Kelly is the fourth goal I think it is as well he hits the first time he dives he goes early early yeah but even as well like this is the other side of it too like Alisa's goal in the first half is I'm actually forgetting who's scoring all the goals and when they actually happen but one where he's in the middle of the pitch yeah

just run straight down yeah it's also yeah it's right in the middle of the goal it's like Keeper's gone early again like the midfielders haven't bothered to put a foot in yeah I do the power he gets on it though and with no backlift as well it's ridiculous I think it might have killed him if it had hit him in the head possibly possibly yeah it may have been being harsh on him send the ambulance on the Keeper's dead but he says killed him yeah I wonder would a Donnarumma have maybe kept it out though

I don't know I saw Shea Gibbons say before the game half time that's why they're not going to win I'm not sure it was at half time he was like he kind of went in on Safanov right at the end before they cut away to the break he was like by the way he's going to be the reason they don't win this game if they don't because they got rid of Donnarumma I think that's slightly harsh it probably is slightly harsh to put it solely on him I suppose yeah but they did spend 40 million on Chevalier as well in the summer who's sitting on the bench because he started the season poorly again it just shows that

when you do have that kind of wealth at your disposal.
