GWT: Champions League - League Stage

[luiginb]

I appreciate Real showing what would've happened anyway, even if BVB had finished those chances in the first half of the final. I now don't have to feel too bad about it.

Nah Terzic can coach miles around Sahin, he wouldn't have made those suicide subs

This is going to be given as a handball even though I don't think it should be.

BVB's hopes arguably ended in that game as soon as Terzic made his first sub though.

Vinicius vs Emre Can, this can only end well.

Say what you will about Sahin’s coaching ability but he’s one good looking dude.

But apparently not good enough to find someone outside his own family to marry and have kids with.

Who are you talking about?

Nice pass on Dortmund's first goal. Everyone was waiting for a cross but he went low instead.

thank you

Had to pick up his jock after a Modric body feint but hey., who hasn't been there?

I can live with that lol

 

[luiginb]

Emre Can to defend Vinicius was the final shit masterstroke from Sahin

 

[SimpleJack]

It’s crazy how true to form both of these clubs turned out to be….once again.

BVB always come up short. Madrid always find a way to win. Always.

 

[JoVel]

Who are you talking about?

Sahin is married to his cousin.

 

[SimpleJack]

Just would like to emphasize how unbelievably stupid it is to willingly and strategically tilt the pitch and give away possession to a side with such elite attacking quality. I mean….are you TRYING to lose???

Toure finally wins it in stoppage time for VFB after a goal called back for a sketchy handball, and a missed pen.

That team had some courage. This team is just flat

 

[Savi]

Tbf for a while it looked like it was going to end in a 2-2 draw because Madrid weren't doing much after they tied it. But then in true Madrid fashion, Courtois make a somewhat lucky save and 30 seconds later Vasquez cuts through the defense with some luck as well and scores, and then Dortmund were done.

 

[Power Man]

well

that was some turnaround

 

[Scandale du Jour]

well

that was some turnaround

One of those Bernabeu nights

One of those Bernabeu nights

Imagine being happy beating some random mid table club from Germany.

 

[Savant]

This new format is so ass

Can't wait for Saturday.

I’ve ran my mouth for a month here and irl. I will be going into hiding from everyone if Barca manage to f*** this up lol.

 

[Moncherry]

This new format is so ass

I've come around to it. Other than the fact that teams are all directly competing against each another with different fixtures, it's much more intriguing than the previous group stage. The last few matchdays will be chaotic.

The balancing is completely wrong. You have Pot 4 teams that got way easier fixtures than Pot 1 teams, and they are just running up goal difference on cannon fodder. The quality of the games and matchups aren’t better. You can say maybe it’s a good thing that teams can’t waive the white flag as earlier, but I just have such an issue with the way that this was balanced
