Yeah, it’s the best matchup of that first knockout CL stage. Inter probably slight favourites. Atletico never to be written off in those situations though.

Romano reporting that Inter are completing the signings of Zielinski from Napoli and Taremi from Porto, both on a free, from next summer.
Wow, didn’t realize that Inter (60) has opened up an (almost) unassailable lead over JJ (53).
Sacked after 3 months.
Absolute disaster for Milan, losing 4-2 to Monza. They were starting to look like they could overhaul Juve. Inter can all but coast their way to the title.
Thought he’d retired ages ago.
Like, before he went to Man U.

sad way to end a career. But he’s still got his millions. Doubt he’ll be wanting for money.
Pogba’s been a hot potato between Juve and United for years, and it’s in Juve’s hands at the wrong time.
I had high hopes that Jimmy over at United would have had a weird boner for Pogba and try to bring him back in for one last dance
Fun! 
Lazio 0 - AC Milan 1
Lazio finished the game with eight players after they had three players sent off as they lost to AC Milan in Serie A.
Luca Pellegrini was the first to see red after fouling Christian Pulisic to earn a second booking.
Noah Okafor hit an 88th-minute winner for AC Milan from 16 yards after a double save from keeper Ivan Provedel.
Lazio had two players shown straight red cards in added time, with Adam Marusic dismissed for an angry reaction to the referee and Matteo Guendouzi for shoving over Pulisic.
Guendouzi was fouled by former Chelsea forward Pulisic and knocked the American to the ground in frustration to leave the hosts with eight men for the final seconds.
Six Milan players were booked and three other Lazio players were shown yellow cards in a fiery encounter.
AC Milan are third in the table, 13 points behind leaders Inter Milan, while Lazio - who face Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday - down in ninth.

Milan would have been kicking themselves if they had not been able to get that late winner. Watched the match, AC Milan really didn’t make much of that man advantage.
I think that is the first match I have watched Lazio’s pregame rituals, not a club I have any fondness for, but the fans can definitely carry a tune.
All kicking off at the end of the first half between Torino and Fior.
Melo hauls his man down, player fouled reacts immediately towards the ref before letting him give Melo a yellow and is shown a 2nd yellow for dissent.
Think the manager went off as well.
Inter grinding out a win in Bologna, something of a bogey side for them, and that is just about it for the Serie A title. Eighteen points now (Juve with a game in hand), Juve sputtering. They could lose all three of their tough games (Napoli, Milan, Lazio) and still win by 10.
They are a strange team, unimpressive and impressive at the same time. Unimpressive because their talent level isn’t compelling, but they are really consistent, hard to score on, and they just don’t make many mistakes. I have to wonder if FSG is looking at Inzaghi.
They are also a home for United cast offs - Darmian and Mrky have both been key players for the, this year and Alexis has been an important back up playing maybe half their games. They are even have found an important role for Arnoutovic.
I think they’ll get rid of Arnautovic after a season. Taremi on a free from Porto will probably be their 3rd choice striker, or better to say Thuram’s backup/competition.
That’s a remarkable strike by Llorente to rescue a point for Roma with pretty much the last kick of the game, definitely renewed life in this Roma side under DDR.
The penalty miss by Biraghi at 2-1 really came back to haunt them.
Once Mourinho hits a certain stage, he has this way of sucking all the life out of a team. His problem is that he gets there with a team much sooner than in his third year, the way it was in his peak years.
