GWT: Champions League - League Stage

[maclean]

I would go so far to say that that penalty was not the same as City's last night

 

[gary69]

Barca lead 2-1 at half-time in Belgrade. First goal was Ini Martinez header froem a Raphinha free kick, and the 2nd was a Lewa rebound goal after Raphinha's shot hit the post.

Stuttgart-loanee Silas Wamangituka scored for the home team.

 

[S E P H]

At this point in time, Martinelli is going to marry the side netting lol. Legendary run by Kai though, we need more of that.

 

[gary69]

Lewa with his 2nd, close range finish after Kounde's low cross.

And Raphinha gets his justified reward, scoring from a Kounde cutback.

Really learning to dislike this Calhanoglu twat

The entire Inter team is rolling around every time they get touched. Pathetic stuff.

 

[gary69]

Lol, Arteta gets a yellow for handball, preventing an Inter attack.

 

[gary69]

Kounde again, another cutback, this time for Fermin to score.

 

[Power Man]

Hadj Moussa (Feyenoord) is pretty good


But Petkovic will keep calling up Mahrez



AAAAAAARGH

 

[maclean]

Well, afraid we've forgotten how to score entirely unfortunately

Very good defending though by Inter

 

[les Habs]

If a player ever deserved a goal it was that goal for Fermin. He was all over the place in the 2-3 minutes prior to scoring. And of course as I type that he misses an excellent chance.

 

[maclean]

we didnt look horrible and odegaard on the pitch are the best takeaways i can come up with

Arsenal has controlled the second half, but when you're taking off Merino to put on Jesus then you're asking for no production whatsoever lol.

Yeah, against most teams, that second half gets a goal. On the road at Inter, not so much. Need a little bit more through the middle.

 

[les Habs]

Big clanger from Donnarumma.

Let’s hope it’s the same syndrom as last season where we had a stretch of matches around christmas and new year where we couldn’t score and suddenly we won 6-0, 5-0 etc.

We still need a striker or at least Nico to replace Martinelli.

 

[Evilo]

That likely isn't a handball in the PL. But in UEFA they expect defenders to play without arms

Except in the Arsenal/PSG game.
In favor of Arsenal. Funny how that works.

 

[Evilo]

Brest wins again. Amazing.
They're tied with Monaco at 3rd place in the standings and are garanteed to be at least in the playoffs. What a story !

Lille is firmly in a playoff spot for now, which is amazing given their schedule so far (Sporting, Real, Atletico, Juventus).

PSG got FMed again. 22 shots to 4, 71% possession, more than double the xG...
The lack of 9 is killing this team. Defenses double team Dembele and Barcola and leave the middle wide open. Hopefully Ramos comes back strong. Now they have 4 games to get into the playoffs, but face two games against Bayern and City.

 

[Evilo]

Offensive players' amount of kms so far in the CL.

David is all about effort. Mbappe should kick his own ass.

Just saw Villa's penalty. How was it ridiculous in the Arsenal game and fair here?

 

[gary69]

Atalanta looked very good again.

Like last weekend, De Ketelaere and lookman combined for a goal. Then they got a second after Zaniolo took advantage of an opponent miskick, which let him through facing just the keeper.

 

[Power Man]

Just watched the PSG-Atleti highlights

lol what a finish, I’m gonna watch L’Immigré Parisien’s video on Youtube, the meltdown should be funny AF

It can be done without a real 9 if you have quality wingers - as long as uou also top notch offensive midfielders.

We saw that the season City reached their first ever CL Final as Pep was phasing Aguero out.

At this point I'm just happy Odegaard is back in the mix. This team needs him.

 

[Power Man]

Just realized that all Spanish coaches got cooked
