Matty

‼️ The narrative: "Barça were better and should’ve gone through." The stat that kills the narrative: "Atleti were ahead in the tie for 84% of the time and spent a total of 0 minutes behind across both the Copa del Rey and the Champions League." [via @atletico_stats_]

The @ChampionsLeague semifinal is set 💫

@atletienglish @ChampionsLeague Geez what an edit

@Score90_ Llorente over Timber, Barrios over Odegaard, Griezmann over Gyokeres and Raya over Oblak this season

@BarcaUniversal The grass was 26 mm when the match was played, under 30 mm rules what are you complaining about.

🚨 BREAKING: Atletico Madrid have now cut the grass at the Metropolitano this morning.

Te están diciendo que una falta por detrás a un delantero que se va solo ante el portero no es roja. Es una afición que vive en una realidad paralela.

.@BarcaTimes, no. This does, though.

Los dos últimos partidos en el Metropolitano de Nahuel Molina han sido imperiales. Y totalmente contrapuestos por la exigencia competitiva de ambos. Su final de temporada está siendo impresionante. Al César lo que es del César. Si no escatimamos críticas, no escatimemos elogios.

@BarcaUniversal Barcelona’s actions vs Atletico Madrid - Gavi not getting red card for elbow on Ruggeri - Gerard Martin’s handball not being awarded penalty. - Indirect free kick for back pass by Frenkie to Joan Garcia - Joan Garcia not getting red for handling ball outside penalty area.

🚨 Atletico Madrid's actions vs Barcelona: - Sending their ball boys to throw extra balls during the pitch to stop the game - Keeping their grass way too short and dry to disrupt Barça's game - Unpunished fouls and constant intimidation on the referees - Diving and simulating in hopes of forcing fouls and cards to Barça players - Endless time wasting and faking injuries Defensive football is not anti football. THIS is anti football.

@Atleticardy @FcbSine And that Iniesta red card too

@FcbSine Don't make me open barca files

The Atletico Madrid files

@talha_fcb @atletiuniverse Still why didn’t ref call that as offside the one with the big brain

@primejoao @atletiuniverse Tell that to ur tiny brain ok

Too much focus on the referee, but the real elephant in the room is what wasn’t called in the final minutes: 1. Joan García appeared to handle the ball outside the box. 2. Joan García then handled the ball again after a back pass from Frenkie de Jong. If Atleti hadn’t gone through yesterday, it would have been a repeat of last year’s episode. OUTRAGEOUS!

@talha_fcb @atletiuniverse He isn’t if he was ref would have called offside

@atletiuniverse Alvarez was already offside at least try to play victim after fact checking

El Barcelona le ha dado un clase maestra al Atlético de cómo no tratar a un rival. Con condescendencia, prepotencia y menosprecios El Atlético debe tratar a la Real Sociedad con el respeto que el Barcelona no le ha tenido al Atleti Una final de Copa que merece respeto

Lo grande que seremos los Argentinos que gracias al Diego y Messi hicimos popular al Barcelona, sin ellos los Catalanes solo serían conocidos por Merlí, un pelado degenerado tirando frases de filósofos para tratar de cogerse a las alumnas.

Undoubtedly, without Lookman, we probably wouldn’t be where we are today. What a signing. God bless him and Nigeria. 🇳🇬❤️🤍

I prefer Llorente starting over Cardoso in a fully fit squad and playing either Pubill/ Molina as RB.

IT'S HAPPENING!!!!! IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!

@Divinefavour500 @atletiuniverse Still waiting for the remontada 😂😂😂

@atletiuniverse Look who's talking 😭😅. Delusional fan base. You lot think you're gonna progress to the finals or what. A team who hasn't kissed a golden badge throughout the existence of the champions league. CALMA 🤣

Now that the tie is done, the embarrassment Barça have shown, from the fanbase to club staff and journalists, must be addressed. Too much talk for a club that has made fewer UCL final appearances than Atleti in the last 10–12 years. Atleti have won two European titles in that period; Barça have won none, despite dropping into the Europa League twice. Fans broke players’ windows on their way to Camp Nou. Staff and journalists have been complaining about the Metropolitano pitch since the Copa del Rey tie. Journalists were also harassing Giuliano and Musso after the first leg and fabricating non-stories. And earlier today, fans put stickers on the statue of Luis Aragonés outside the Metropolitano, a line that should never be crossed. Every decision that went against them was blamed on the referee, which is ironic, considering that’s exactly what they accuse their arch rivals of. Sit down and be humble. Good luck in the rest of your La Liga and Copa del Rey campaigns.

Dame un grrr.

Barca’s 2nd goal came from a goal kick that should’ve been a corner But but the referees are against us!!
