Champions League 1st Knockout Round
AC Milan 0-3 Atlético Madrid
Alexis Sanchez
Sergio Araujo
Diego Forlán
Atlético faced off against Italian team AC Milan in the first knockout round of the Champions League and it is probably the toughest draw they could of got after winning their group. Oakes's side were the better team in the first half and were rewarded just before half time with a great strike from Alexis Sanchez. Whatever Oakes said tohis team at half time must have worked as they cameout firing. Second half strikes from Sergio Araujo and Diego Forlán gave the team a memorable 3-0 win at the San Siro

Atlético Madrid 2-0 Hércules
Sergio Aguero
Alexis Sanchez
Atlético Madrid's final game of the month came against Hércules at home. A twelth minute strike from Sergio Aguero gave Oakes's side the lead. Eight minutes later, Alexis Sanchez hit home to make it 2-0. It was not the best performance from Los Colchoneros as they had less shots than the away side but David De Gea was on form to keep the away side at bay.
We are still top of the league and after a perfect month, we have extended our lead. The title looks ours now but I will tell the lads to focus on the job at hand. The victory against Milan was just out of this world and I applaud the lads efforts.
My player of the month this month goes to Alexis Sanchez. He is relatively new here but I am absolutely delighted with his recent form. I am very disappointed that he is now injured for three months but I am sure we have cover for him.
