Not sure what happened to Trossard, but he's been great the last 2 games

The whole group of subs that came on were great. Odegaard leading the press for that last 30 min was awesome. Hincapie is a warrior, Zubi was great, Martinelli was all over the place

Noni didn't do much with the ball, but his OOP work was good too.

What an exciting moment for this team

Very much enjoy the Rice x MLS Midfield. Rice being the DM destroyer has been awesome to see

Ben White has been amazing for about 160 straight minutes. 1 game a week now. He will be rested and he's in form. So happy for him

Thankfully for him (and us) he's played some lower quality right wingers these past 2 matches

Not sure if someone talked about it yet but Berta getting after with Simeone had me dying.

Atletico will hate us even more when we sign Alvarez in the summer

I'm kinda off Alvarez based on these 2 games. Was essentially a non-factor.

Need someone to replicate pre injury Jesus, I don't think Alvarez is that guy, and definitely not for the reported price. If you keep Havertz & Vik, take a flyer on a young guy for cheap that is really good at dribbling or box movement or something

To be fair to Alvarez, we quite literally have 2 of the top 3 CBs in world football today. He was the only Atleti player that gave us something to think about across both legs

Alvarez has also been playing through injury the past two games.

Yep. He's only played CL and the Copa Del Rey Final. I don't even think he's training.

Merino was back on the grass kicking a ball around, so he might be back this season

If I had to watch a Bayern style backline I'd have a rage fit. Reminds me of Sideshow Bob days.

Kiwior obligation to buy deal went final the other day. Porto loved him and he did great for them in winning the Portuguese league this year as a starting CB.

We bought him for 17 Mil and sold him for 26 Mil. 1.7 Mil Loan fee for this year also so we got a little over 10 Million in pure profit for that deal. He did a great job for us last year and did even better this year. Good for him.

I thought I read 17m flat+5m add ons +2m sell on. Adding this years loan fee gets you 26m rounded up.

So I'm thinking possible total of 26m out of the deal.

And they put a 70m release clause on him.

We sold him for far too little, but it's whatever. Come out a little ahead after amortization.

Pays for a bit of the Hincapie fee. We should be able to level him out with Vieria and Nelson

I wonder if we will be able to move Nelson. Injuries have really killed him. He only played 13 games last season and 13 this season.
