Champions League Knockout Stage

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Raphinha is pretty lucky to not look like an idiot right now.

It's tricky, because as forwards we were always told "always always ALWAYS make sure it gets over the line, it's not selfish to see it over"

but you have to be so careful.

Doue decided to watch Rice yesterday, insane strike.

 

[gary69]

Doue's goal was very Mbappe like finish.

Wow Tielemans makes a huge stomp, not even a card.

He had the same against Pool but it hit the bar IIRC.

Big team bias.

It’ll be interesting to see how Lucho can keep his big 4 happy. Hard to take off one

 

[Evilo]

OMG Doue...

 

[JoVel]

It's one thing to miss the net but Guirassy can't even hit the ball right now.

Not a single problem. Barcola, Doue and Kvara take their turn on the bench. Dembouz starts every big game.

Raphinha touched the ball on the goalline, when the ball was already going in. Avoided being offside by a slim margin.

How is he supposed to win the Ballon d'Or if he doesn't score?

 

[JoVel]

Some better looks during the last 20 minutes, but overall Dortmund were so far behind that it almost felt like they were playing against a Bundesliga relegation team.

How long will that last though. THeyre all pretty young too. Lucho is a master at man managing though. He can hold the fort for awhile but I suspect one of them will get annoyed at some point.

That's Pedri's

Exactly, you don't get to 12 goals in 11 games in the UCL if you let balls like that pass you.

If Guirassy is going to finish like this, they might as well bring on Beier. 2 golden chances + a third good chance, and the best effort was him hitting the sidenetting after turning Cubarsi inside out.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

CL ptsd for me barca shou;dve had more than 1 goal. Sub Gavi on at half and get El Nino 2.0 warmed up for Lewa who isnt having the best day.

 

[luiginb]

Cubarsi MOTM for me so far, great on both sides of the ball.

Luckily it's just the CL, so you'll probably pull a result out of your ass to advance before losing your next three BuLi matches.

Don't think so. They all love him.

You misspelled Dembele.

Sure they'll all retire PSG players along with LUcho who will stay there until he's 70.

Nope I didnt.

That's your middle ground? Either they're whining and asking for a move or they retire PSG players?
I mean how can we even discuss anything?

 

[Evilo]

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

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.

No one said whining at some point these players will be hungry for minutes and want a more prominent role. Its hardly whining. You completely shut it down so how would we discuss it lol

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

Yes obviously.

 

[gary69]

Good start for Barca in the 2nd half. Good movement by Lewa to read where the ball going to end up being. Just don't get sloppy now and push too much forward, even if a third goal would be icing on the cake.

PSG in more familiar territory now with the lead.

 

[Evilo]

Disasi came on and I told my son what some great piece of news for Kvara.
And here it goes Kvara destroys Disasi with his dribbles and shoots a rocket top corner.
