Sparta Praha (H) | CL | Post Match Thread

26 unbeaten, a new record, not just in the CL but the whole european cup history.

Was the previous record held by someone who ultimately lost in a penalty shoot out, I do think it’s not right this record unless that’s the case, we lost to Madrid whether it’s 90/120 or penalties we did lose. However if the previous holder also did this then I agree.

Gotta love Pep when he is happy

Did one of ours actually handle the ball for Ake's goal or was it another VAR scrubbing.

It hit Ake on the hand/wrist. Haaland should have scored from an inch though, instead of hitting the post.

Decent Performance tonight from the lads

bravo rico

Sums it all up nicely. I would add that the synchronised Sparta fans were quite amusing in the first half. More interesting than the game in the first half at times. Lol

Not a fan of rehearsed songbook approach but it wasnt as monotonous as some and they were loud in fairness however they can fuck right off with their throwing shit aswell as the pathetic fan with a united shirt on.

To be fair, he hasn’t scored for 351 minutes in the Prem. The third longest drought he’s ever had in league football.

No idea - it was united though, so happy to take it :-)

Marcotti - With better finances barca would have Bernardo Silva who was "desperate" to join them, another twat in the media.

Barca might now have better finances if they hadn’t ridden roughshod over FFP to pay Messi about 3 billion quid a year while he was there

Might be a daft question but is there any obvious benefit to finishing near the top of this table? Other than actually qualifying obviously. Do you get an easier knock out draw the higher up you finish or something? Because if it's just a case of you either qualify or you don't then it makes the whole league table thing a bit pointless.

Not sure actually apart from I believe, the top 8 play the next 8 with I think, tthe second leg at home???

It will be on the UEFA website though.

I suspect prize money will be a thing and as we know it won't be peanuts

I bet top rakes in a fortune

Haaland’s goal was just ridiculous!! Nunes was excellent, theirs a player starting to finally emerge, Lewis was also quality, 5-0 what’s not to like :)

Utd went unbeaten between losing to Milan in the semis in 2007 and losing to Barça in the final in 2009. They didn’t lose on penalties in between or owt, they didn’t actually get knocked out between those two losses.

I was more interested in the "desperate" bit, there's no evidence of that.

Do it pep and while at it eddie in midfield is still a due

I think after a game like this Pep needs to start Nunes vs Soton at home. he can catch some momentum maybe. in terms of end product it was his best City game ever. especially as the form of Bernardo, Gundo quite mediocre right now imo.

 

[axlgod]

A good effort, 7 on 10.
Let’s make love.

I couldn't see them throwing stuff, we sit in the North stand. Always a few dickheads. Bothering to wear a utd shirt when they are as shite as Sparta Prague is as ironic as it is sad.
