Both teams are excellent at passing the ball directly out of play.

Wasn’t that clear cut… but could have done better

Jeonbuk are closing those inside channel passing lanes constantly - and we keep giving them the ball on that lane. Need to think a bit differently.

One on one with the keeper you shouldn’t be hitting it straight at him.

What a waste of a brilliant burst from Yazbek. Could hardly have made that easier.

I suspect the sliding defender made the angle harder… but yes, shouldn’t be straight at the keeper

Anyone watch much K-League? Is this Jeonbuks usual style?

I’ m starting to question whether we’ve been pronouncing Buhagiers name wrong all this time…

Pronouncing it this way is certainly more fun

What are you guys watching? I’ve got Hill & Harper.

Well, at half time we’re not losing.

We’re not winning, and it’s been a pretty tame half from both sides, but we haven’t conceded and we’re still in it.

So like the Swiss flag, that’s a big plus.

Good to see we’re following our ACL campaign template, honed over the last 16 years.

Outplay the best teams for the overwhelming majority of the game but don’t convert dominance to goals, lose or occasionally draw.

Then lose to teams we should beat, leaving us needing a win in the return match against the best team in the group.

Dominate that team but give up a crucial goal and fail to move past the group stage.

It’s a story as old as time itself.

Pedant.

Paramount Plus has different commentary to Ten Play.

Say what you want about Trent, but at least you can tell he is on the pitch… unlike ALF…

Hollywood would tell you- why get a new plotline when remaking the original is entertaining enough?
