Gab is directly calling out Dan for complaining about the Round of 16 matches being “boring.” Gab, Dan is a windup merchant with a very basic understanding of the game. From years of watching ESPN FC, it’s clear that Dan watches very little ball outside the EPL. To be blunt, Dan is your typical arrogant Englishman that looks down on teams and leagues outside the EPL. I wouldn’t take his comments about the Round of 16 matches being “boring” that seriously. His comments come from a place of arrogance and ignorance.

[@amon_ndemo]

Who watches anything outside EPL?

[@sagarranjan4585]

Lol Spain is Real Madrid, Germany is Bayern, France is Mbappe, Italy well... had 2 teams in semis last year but let's be honest, it was a fluke, they never had any chance to win

[@latinonic1]

@@sagarranjan4585 Spain is more than RM. The EPL is also inflated by massive inflow of Foreing direct investment. That is the main reason there are more teams competing for the title.

[@companyofcules]

@amon_ndemo Who watches EPL? the Third World since the colonies and brain drain, the murica and the saxon peasants. The biggest star is De Bruini, who has the ball control of a drunk Isco and Salah, a glorified Depay.

​@amon_ndemo the majority of the world😂 el classico is the most watched club match outside the ucl final buddy. You think anyone outside of UK cares at all about liverpool v everton, or chelsea v tottenham? Nobody cares😂

[@ElectroAtletico]

You can see the pain in Gab's heart. (1) because an Italian team lost, (2) because he hates La Liga winning so much.

[@IvySands]

All Italian teams lost - two v. Spain again.

[@tiborpataki749]

Inter fan here, we are very disappointed because we knew that this team is more than capable to go deep in the competition and we were only 5 minutes away from the quarterfinals. But hey we'll come back stronger next season. Also congrats to Atlético and Simeone they made a fantastic comeback and they will be a nightmare for every team at home.

[@foxjacob6]

I cannot believe we beat the almighty Inter this year. I had you winning it all if you beat us. You will definitely win the league so hold your head up! Atletico have made these comebacks before so many times.

[@tiborpataki749]

Atletico played better and they missed alot of big chances aswell. They are just better team then inter right now.

[@isaacgloriosissimus2509]

They are not a better team than Inter. They just lost 2-0 to relegation fighting Cadiz. Inter has won every matches except this one in 2024.

[@atleticomadrid868]

They are a better team than any team in the world only at home lol.

[@Kaleem78]

Not really, Inter restrained Atletico to 0 shot on goal in San Siro 3 weeks ago, if not Thuram got injured and that Arnautovic dude missed like 3 very good chances, the tie should have already finished before last night kick off. Again, it's their fault that they haven't capitalized but I dont agree that Atletico is overall a better team, it was close match over 210 mintures and Inter have already through if the away goal rule have not been abolished.

[@varmooo]

Only mentally they are more better. Years under Simeone have done its work. And you need that. They believed and Inter were very nervous. But the season for us its not done. 20th League title awaits. We will celebrate anyway, I want to see Atletico vs Arsenal. So lets see

[@varmooo]

Both teams missed some unbelievable 100% chances. In both legs! It was painful to see. Arnautovic is still a bad backup and Lautaro cannot score penalties 😮

[@kbobdixie1829]

Barella's chance was NOT his fault. The pass was bad and dragged him away from goal.

This game looked just like the copa italia. Played the exact same way. Wouldnt be surprised if they throw the league if they played like this the rest of the year

[@solothebest1850]

Nope the Atletico Madrid match was the anomaly Inter had to miss all of their chances and Atletico had to be perfect in every way but it was one of the matches that seeing the progression of it only Atletico Madrid could go through. No other way of explaining going 2 goals down and coming back from that because Atletico are not as strong as the other CL opponents. I believe if Atletico keep winning at home playing like that in the CL I won't be surprised if they win the competition by sheer luck 100% against Man City even on penalties

[@ThePinballSpot]
