Champions League Quarter Final Games 12-15th August

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

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

100%. I’m just thinking in terms of avoiding Lahoz and playing the easier opponent (arguably)

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Well I imagine they'd prefer Leipzig, but it wasn't about Leipzig vs. Atleti, it was Atalanta vs. Leipzig.

Was you drinking?

 

[arbabarshad]

Is it a year of a first time champions league winner ! Let’s hope so.

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Was you drinking?

on the red bull maybe?

 

[Jordie]

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.

The best way is to let play continue.

 

[waspish]

God I love this format games every night straight knockouts makes for good entertaining games pity €EFA will go back to the boring shite format.

The best way is to let play continue.

Falls down in the area, difficult to carry on,

Make the player go off, and wait for a period of time(to recover) , they wouldn't go down as often, when time wasting.
Letting play continue, would lead to issues;
a: if they are actually injured
b: play continues and there is action in the box, near to the player on the floor.

I agree if they go down in midfield there is a decision to make, but the team put the ball out anyway to stop play. Then the ref asks if they need treatment, they often say no, just a rest ,sat here. That is the time the ref needs to send them for a two minute rest. Would soon stop this "game management" scrap.
Anyway I thought the ref added the correct time on last night, some posters didn't like it because they wanted a red bull win.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Didn’t Platini once say he doesn’t want to see a final of Man City vs a Red Bull team? Real possibility of it happening, a big fuck off to the cartel. If we get past Lyon, I’m hoping we can send Bayern packing in the semi’s.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

I guess the other consideration at this stage is the mentality, particularly of the managers. We know Pep has out-thought himself at this stage before, but equally no idea how Flick or Setien will cope, nor Tuchel the further they get. Still think it will be a Qatar v Bayern final where some nice arrangements will be made to confirm Qatar in the family and allow them to make a political statement in the world of football at the same time. Shame Atalanta couldn't see it out the other night.

Head injuries should be the only time you stop the game, otherwise when the ball goes out the ref asks him if he needs attention and if he says no he just blows the whistle for the game to resume, regardless if he is still on the floor. All of this is also regardless of where on the pitch he is cheating/injured.

Either.

IF we beat Lyon and go onto the win the thing we'll have beaten some of the best on Europe to get there. No easy route.

Barcelona, pretty much a busted flush these days, German Rags however on a run of 18 straight wins so I'd much prefer that to come to an end before immediately

 

[Uffa]

I'll probably side with Bayern tonight because they've been up there way less than Barça in recent times, but yeah if I were you I'd much prefer facing Barcelona

In that case the odd broken leg, or ruptured ligaments would cause plenty of pain for a player, especially if the team was playing City and we kept it for 3 minutes.
Guess you never played.

 

[bluemoon32]

Hopefully we'll get Barcelona, can't see it though.
3-1 Bayern Munich

 

[5 Hit Gibbon]

Bayern are probably the favourites, but I think Barcelona might surprise them tonight. They always have a chance if Messi is on form.

 

[SleepingBlueTiger]

I will be majorly shocked if Barca go through, this Bayern team is a machine with no glaring weaknesses. Messi won't even have a chance to weave his magic as he won't get the ball in the Bayern final third that much.

 

[domalino]

It's going to take a game from Messi that'll be up among the defining ones of his career if Barcelona are going to win this.

Definitely Barca. Messi is Messi, but besides for him they were disappointing this season. Bayern might be the most on form team in Europe at the moment.
