Athletico Madrid 3-3 Fiorentina

An exciting game for the neutral, but a nerve jangling one for the managers, who were both keeping an eye on the booking and injuries as much as the score I suspect.
It's always a tough game against Marshy, and despite the circumstances of both teams not being at full strength, this was no different.
Athletico decided to hedge their bets with regular tactical changes, and Fiorentina decided to start with the P, expecting the opposition to expect a C, but the goals seemed to go against the run of play as much with it anyway. The stats were fairly even in the end, so a draw was probably a fair result.
The pendulum swung back and forth between the sides during the game, with Athletico scoring first, then Fiorentina hitting back with two to lead, before giving a penalty away to equalise.
It looked like it might go against us when Athletico scored again late in the game, but Mbappe got the late equaliser.
It had to be old boy Pino who got man of the match, but Berardi and Mbappe had good games for the away side.

The best news for both managers is that no extra players will miss the Euro second legs on Wednesday, Fiorentina will welcome back Karsdorp and Locatelli from suspension, though Goretzka is still injured.

Fiorentina boss Kirby was also pleased to hear that PSG had only drawn as well, after fully expecting to be six points behind at the close of play, though the pack around the side have closed in.

Barca 2-3 Real

El Clasico provided a thriller that in the end that we managed to edge come full time.
We had the lion's share of possession but were more wasteful in front of goal compared to Barca who were happy to hit on the counter.
The game bounced back and forth until the seventy fourth minute when Kim Min Jae curled a lovely effort home to send the Real fans mad and hand us a vital three points.
The league is quite unpredictable at the moment with a few teams all still with a chance of a late title push.
Played Mati.
