Atlanta United lost 1-0 in Chicago, dropped to 1-5-1, and head to Finley Stadium in less than 24 hours for a U.S. Open Cup Round of 32 match against Chattanooga FC. Jason breaks down what went wrong Saturday, previews the tactical challenge Chattanooga presents, including the head coach who took a 6-0 Open Cup loss to Atlanta as a player, the Atlanta United loanee playing against his parent club on his 19th birthday, and a 41-year-old FA Cup winner in goal. He also explains why the first goal tomorrow night shapes everything.
From there: Atlético Madrid and PSG are in the Champions League semifinals after a chaotic afternoon at the Metropolitano and a clinical night at Anfield. Real Madrid and Arsenal play their second legs tomorrow. Matt Crocker resigned as U.S. Soccer's sporting director today, 59 days before a home World Cup, to take a job in Saudi Arabia. Javier Mascherano stepped down at Inter Miami four months after winning the MLS Cup. And the John Textor situation keeps getting worse. Botafogo has now sued Lyon for over €125 million.
Plus the 3-4-3 to close the night.
