The whole online footballing world was buzzing about the match before, during and after the match.
It even elicited a response from Diego Simeone, coach of Atletico Madrid. “When a game ends 5-4, everyone says: ‘What a great game! ’ – I say: they scored 5 goals against us”, the Argentine said (as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia ).
“I don’t know if it’s such a good game for us coaches – but on TV, it was of course nice to watch. ” Simeone has coached more stressful matches before. Then again, he probably wishes he could watch that again because his Atletico team managed to draw 1-1 with Arsenal in the other semifinal of the Champions League.
That match had people wishing for more action like they saw in Paris a few days ago.
