Only Spurs rush in: it's the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2018/2019 thread

Ok yeah never mind

Can’t really do much about that. Stunning.

His 600th goal for Barca.

Cruel at the other end too.

jaysus

Awful from Salah

my word

Sitter.

nightmare game huh

few of em should be suspended for final imi

barca losing 3-0 to liverpool seems more likely than them losing 3-0 to roma.....

anyone relying on liveblogs for this will have been informed by the Guardian that Messi's second was 35 yards out and by the BBC that it was his 300th for Barca

It's the nil part that makes it impossible. Even 3-1 would leave a faint glimmer of hope.

Yeah

good lord

has anyone noted the fk was a deflection like

about what you'd expect from jammy, over-rated Lionel Messi

two chances you should prob take 1.5 goals from there barca

can only thank god messi isnt english tbh

god i can only hope they rue that embarrassing wastefulness at the end, one sitter two good chances in three minutes

Liverpool were good for the first 15 mins of that 2nd half, didn't score and well there is only one way etc.

our strikers want bloody shooting

I don't know if I'm going to get over this season

Guess I just feel Liverpool are very good but not quite at the level of some of the teams eclipsing them.

Admirably philosophical of you but I'm feeling beat

Not sure I ever allowed myself to believe.

Tho I did think they'd win this semi-final, I hadn't really thought of the CL much even though it is obv a huge tournament.

You could see Liverpool scoring 3 at Anfield but a bit like the Spurs Dortmund tie, all it will take is for Barca to get one and it's all over

Yes, Liverpool could score three, for sure.

Yeah I'd barely thought about the champions league at all the, almost as if we'd got to the semi by mistake. But in light of this brutal league run-in I'd started to warm up to it as a consolation xp

Also I'd made a conscious decision to believe at the start of the season after not believing had got me nowhere for so long

this is where i've been at

guys

brendon rodgers. jamie vardy. it's an energy. believe

Yes, Liverpool could score three, for sure

Was this sarcasm?

I may just have enough belief in reserve to get me through the next week and a bit but after that I dunno. There's a term in horse racing, bottoming out, where a horse runs a particularly gallant race in defeat and just can't go on the same again. That kinda vibe xp

xp why would it be

balance of play tonight before the third went in wasnt massively out of kilter

three one wouldve been salvageable i think.....barca with ninety minutes to counter and a three goal cushion might be brutal but nobody saw ye taking city last year

(xp) No!

Some absolutely hilarious calls from Liverpool fans on Talksport tonight, it must be admitted.

Nice of Suarez not to celebrate against his old club

100% in favour of abandoning this stupid expectation of fake respect for former employers.

Ditto.

i honestly don't care why people are fussed either way.

liverpool were unlucky. that was a p interesting chapter in wijnaldum's season, says something that klopp trusted him more than origi or shaq in that role but looks an even odder decision in retrospect. I really like robertson and he had a good game but alba is another level above, surely the best lb in the world

Agree entirely about the celebration - I was more just making a rueful comment in the moment watching it live as he went fucking bananas.

I think Gomez was a bigger call than Wijnaldum in the advanced role btw. Either way the dejection of this one is kind of growing.

actually somewhat okay with last night. last season was ridic exciting as was the suarez season but this season is more 'blimey lfc are a really good team'. delighted with the state of the team now compared to when klopp arrived who could be otherwise?

agreed

That is loosely how I feel as well. He has done an amazing job.

Game on?

imagine defending like that after six minutes as opposed to, say, 86

lol who are these frauds
