Champions League Quarter Final Games 12-15th August

[Rochdale Blue]

We’re only 1 year older than Leipzig

The commentary team still got a dig in about their wealth.
You'd think they had raided Chelsea for Werner, rather than the other way round.

 

[St.Pauli support]

That Gimenez CB was permanently shouting in the ref's ear,
I'd have booked him 5 times. Seen anybody?

2 young German coaches meeting in the semi, interesting stuff.
Glemmer club PSG vs shabby east German province ;)

I'd say PSG could stumble with being favourites.
Imagine Timo Werner would still be there...

Yeah there’s been plenty of “smaller” teams who’ve made it far over the years. Porto went as far as winning it 15 or so years ago.

I always say that the Champions League is 90% luck and we’ve been very unlucky not to have won it all these years.

but luck is not always fair ? and when you have a double headed coin why do we always call tails

 

[Stoned Rose]

If City win on Saturday, 3 of the semi finalists will be represented by 'new money'.
It's what FFP was meant to avoid

Are you Miguel Delaney? ;)

 

[Don Karleone]

Crying for a second night in a row.

I genuinely hope he and a few others get rona

 

[Hayley Croppers chopper]

Just need Barca to knock out their media darlings tomorrow and they’ll completely lose their shit

Wouldn’t you rather we knocked the German rags out Instead?

Bayern are a much better side than Barcelona, i hope we get Barcelona

I'd love us to sick swan those German Rag cunts.

I agree with that and it would remove the Spanish ref conundrum but I’m looking at it from the German rags bleating about us and FFP, we need to put them in their place. That’s assuming we beat Lyon first

This but in the 119th minute instead. And maybe not a severe injury..

 

[chaddblue]

I had to think for a second there...:)

Got it in before all our haters from the rags, dippers and football media say it

Out for a week would be enough

Potentially fantastic result for us that if we do our part. I don’t think I’d fancy us to break down atletico our slow methodical ground approach would suit their defensive unit well so I’m delighted RB Leipzig went through, it’s also nice to see a different team not in the established elite do well.

I would prefer to potentially face Barca but I expect Bayern to put on a muscle flexing display tomorrow and trounce Barca.

Extra time and penalties tomorrow please

Yeah in hindsight that would be better, we’ll need him fit for “pre-season” ;)

 

[ninjamonkey]

Extra time and penalties tomorrow please

With Messi scoring the winner then being sent off after the final whistle for his involvement in A mass punchup which also results in ter Stegen, pique, de jong, and Suarez all red carded too.

Then we follow it up by getting beat by Lyon.

 

[SleepingBlueTiger]

What an utterly cowardly performance by Atletico last night, nothing more than expected though.

I swear these coaches so overthink the game sometimes. After they brought Felix on and were attacking (not because they wanted, because they had to) they actually looked decent. When they got the goal Leipzig were probably there for the taking had they continued the same way, but Simeone unsurprisingly has his team return to defensive mode. They got punished deservedly.

 

[mexico1970]

Simeone looked as shabby as his team tactics, not a fan of his type of football at all. Why did they buy Felix if they use tactics like that?

 

[asahartford1]

Nah, right amount of time imo if you consider also the various fouls and falls in stoppage time. Winning teams always try to drag through added time in any way.

Correct.
Again the same posters looking to slag referees, Angelino, went down with fake cramp, the best way to stop it add the time on.
