UEFA Champions League Thread

Probably the most stacked Champions League that I can remember in a while… the ‘big 3’ from Italy… ‘big 3’ from Spain… Sporting, Benfica and Porto… Ajax, Malmo and Brugge - Dortmund and Bayern…of course PSG with Messi and Neymar.

It kind of feels like the clusb that were big when I got into football in the early 90’s (and playing sensible soccer and CM) have all qualified.

PSG doing PSG things. :champagne:

Apparently their owner went mental in the tunnel and had to be restrained… filmed by a Real madrid employee who refused to hand over their phone.

Expect it to appear on line sooner rather than later

Madrid copying Roar

I think qualifies as a choke?

Didn’t watch it, but this suggests it qualifies for one of the biggest chokes of all time (a goal up from the first leg, remember):

Time for wevenge in the Final. :beer:

Yet again Pep manages to fuck up in the champions league

hilarious

That’s match fixing levels of dodgy…

The defending for all 3 was sydney fc-esque

yeah looking at the stats seems like in knockouts winning possession literally is equal in winning and losing game 43% each. should you practise not having the ball for these games or keep possession all year and hope for the coin flip in CL final weeks?

I’m on Team Carletto. :grinning: Plus I’d like to see Karim Benzema win the Balon D’or.

Stan have a free 30 day trial atm. Was thinking of signing up.

But it appears it will be on 9Gem as well, so SD is good enough for me!

Pretty tense affair so far. Brilliant save by Madrid keeper, parrying onto post. Madrid seem to be handling the pressure

Peak champions league

Bloody VAR. Benzemar is a cool cucumber

VAR?

If Benzemar didnt trip over himself he would have scored.

I thought he was very cool to not shoot when the keeper was flailing about just Infront of him.

Technically he can’t be cool on account of playing for fascist scum.

Well, you may have a point. I meant under pressure as opposed to a personality trait.

I was wondering about late start, heard something about a crowd disturbance? I’m watching a free to air online Spanish tv coverage with no commentary at half time. What did they get up to?

Apparently they closed 4 of the 5 gates at the Liverpool end and forced them through 1 gate.

Which may not have been a good idea.
