Champions League Knockout Stage

Kvara with the ankle break, damn.

As for the Ballon d'or IMO the CL will determine it.

It should be Salah, but we all know this trophy is rigged.

You still think that after his CL exit? Where he was awful?

The Club World Cup will likely have influence as well. The prize money is extremely high, and so teams will be taking it seriously. I expect that narrative momentum will come alongside that.

Only for the CL winning team's / finalist's players though, if PSG does well in both competitions, it will a big boost for Dembele.

Everything is rigged lol who’s it rigged for unsure

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Szczesny I love you man. Greatest pole of alll time

This really should be done and dusted. Shades of Liverpool

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Yamal is too good. There's no way he can be this good at 17 years of age

 

[gary69]

Lewa finishes a nice team move.

 

[Evilo]

get El Nino 2.0 warmed up for Lewa who isnt having the best day.

Good hunch

 

[Vasilevskiy]

As soon as he gets his finishing a little bit better he will be the best player in the world

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Good hunch

Fernan would’ve had a hat trick by now.

This dortmund simply can’t hang with Barca. This game should be 5 or 6

 

[Bounces R Way]

Lewangoalski

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Once that happens they should Messi him into the false 9.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

It's over

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

It's over

A strikers finish

 

[gary69]

Done and dusted. Can't really allow Barca to have that kind of counter attacks, making mistakes leading to turnovers when all your players are high up on the pitch.

 

[JoVel]

At least we will get to go all in on Bayern's B team on Saturday.

 

[luiginb]

Raphinha has something like 19 goal contributions in this year's UCL, no way he's not winning it.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Yamal asking for a sub he’s either a mature Messi or he picked up a knock

How long has it been since we've had this many amazing players not quite or just turned 18? Has it actually ever happened? Players that young feels like a new thing, but I'm no sports historian

 

[Evilo]

Dembele who was bad all game came up with a crazy good assist for Mendes.

 

[Evilo]

Villa should be really happy to come back with only a 2 goal deficit.

 

[gary69]

Nuno Mendes cleverly fools Konsa and Martinez to score PSG's third. Looking much better for them now, to head into England with this scoreline.

Which 17 year olds apart from Yamal are you talking about?

 

[maclean]

Which 17 year olds apart from Yamal are you talking about?

Including just recently turned 18 and in my own biases I was largely thinking of Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly, but also Cubarsí, I would sneak Doué and Zaïre-Emery in the same category. Actually 17 year olds theres at least Quenda and Estevao Willian, but they're more the classic category of highly touted youngsters that can still have their potential squandered by the Chelsea machine.

Just seems to be a particularly large crop of particularly young players doing amazing things on first teams right now, but by all means, correct me if that's completely ordinary

 

[Evilo]

There are but indeed a little more loose on the age.
I'd say the 2003 and beyond group talked about before is impressive.
