Rennes against Boys: the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2020/2021 thread

Rashford for PM

Hat trick!

Joao Felix looks excellent this season. Consistently the biggest threat Atleti have.

Looking forward to seeing how Gomez and Williams handle Zapata, Muriel and the other Gomez later.

Jota with two brilliant finishes.

Five nil, Jota hat trick. This is hugely impressive counter attacking.

The bittersweetness of enjoying Jota's rise won't stop, but I am pleased for the cunt

Surely a bit more sweet than bitter in that it's clearly a transfer that everybody benefits from

Every time he scores I assume it ups the fee and he clearly wasn't in Nuno's plans so yeah it is more sweet than bitter but he's killing it, which is great, but obvi sigh

I mean basically he's a good lad so god speed

He looks like he's been playing for us for years

United turned over by Erdogan’s boys.

Atrocious performance again

A loss to Everton and I think/hope Ole is gone

Madrid currently losing to Donetsk again. As it stands, they’re third, level on points with Shakhtar. Depending on how the other game tonight goes, Shakhtar could potentially be playing an already eliminated Inter last.

RBS vs Lokomotiv has been great fun.

Lokomotiv penalty, brawl, Salzburg goal in two minutes.

lol, 2-0 Shakhtar.

i don’t understand how they took the tying goal off the board in the inter match... like i literally don’t get it

Embolo was fractionally offside, which usually wouldn’t matter as he didn’t touch the ball, but he was blocking the vision of the goalkeeper so was considered ’active’.

ah ok. seems like a crazy subjective rule. somehow the VAR toothpaste needs to be put back in the tube

sadly it's here to ruin football forever now

That Inter shirt is fucked up

Some game this in leipzig

Jesus keeper

Yep, straight down the middle.

tbh, you could have been talking about either keeper though.

Unsighted and a clean strike but like

xp keeper made a good recovery of the second incident tho

Great fun of a game that

No idea how Fred's gotten away with that

Well that was inevitable

Bizarre not to have subbed him at half time.

Giroud has scored four vs Sevilla.

Ole genuinely has the worst in-game management I've ever seen

It's killing us

Lazio bottling it against a 10-man Bruges.

2-2, Bruges need to win and have been absolutely dominant.

They hit the crossbar!

Leipzig didn't

lol

Ole has sussed that this team plays best overturning an opposition lead

AWB is getting absolutely murdered out there

Doesn't know where he is

playing 7 defenders and Angelino has the freedom of the pitch

Bahçeşehir have walked off saying Pierre Webo was racially abused by the fourth referee.

Başakşehir even.

Surely Solskjaer gets his cards now

Embarrassing from United.

he still won't

what even is Harry Maguire

Great stuff by Başakşehir and PSG.

Ever get the feeling you're being trolled?

Hmmmm.

I hate that I was made to care about that

So fucking thrilled to see that after Sunday's parliamentary elections, where a previously unknown, batshit far-right party made up of Iron Guard worshipping, ethnonationalist, christopath covidiots whose leader is a literal ultra somehow managed to garner 9% of the popular vote – in no small part thanks to expat voters, a quarter of which apparently want nothing more than to trade Ludovic Orban for Viktor Orbán – some racist shit-for-brains referee puts Romania back in the spotlight.

You know it’s bad news when pom shows up in a footy thread #sadlol

Disgraceful.

it was willi orbáns night

Tbf he reportedly said 'negrul', which means 'the black guy'. While referring to black players by the colour of their skin is, uh, insensitive, to say least, it's also important to note that 'negru' in Romanian is not a racial slur in and of itself – it just means black (masculine).

dembele's backheel pass = chef's kiss

Inter getting murdered here.

Yeah that goal with the backheel outrageous. Mad how PSG took so long to realise France is prob the best youth factory in the world so maybe just sign fellas from your own country.

watching this in my local Italian cafe. would describe the mood now as sombre.

I am in Málaga. Disgusted by how many locals are up for PSG

A fifth goal would make it the biggest win in the history of the European Cup I think

yup, and there it is!

Kinda sad for Inter after an amazing run to get here

Three 4-0's and a 7-3.

the old Italian guys have left the cafe

They've left the pitch by the looks of it.

Inzaghi will be getting sacked in the morning.

How bad does this make Hansi Flick look?

more like ps jeez

more like interred milan

more like in turd milan

This is for you and your boudin noir, Les Deux Stations bistro (10m walk from Parc des Princes)

One thing that's apparent with this new CL league format is that as long as you can scrape by with a few results early on, you're good. Liverpool topping the league table made no real difference at all

Yeah that was a joke. But after tonight they'll certainly be getting their gerrymandering in place for next year.

Mad how PSG took so long to realise France is prob the best youth factory in the world so maybe just sign fellas from your own country.

yeah I mean...kinda

It's more that they've concentrated on signing on really good players for lots of money rather than superstar players for loadsamoney

Their midfield is completely Iberian, Kvaratskhelia Armenian, Hakimi Moroccan, Keeper Italian, etc.

They're still a very cosmopolitan team, they've just changed their attitude towards team building. And they've obviously got an excellent manager who's led that change

and they're still cunts obv, but it's hard to dislike how they play the game

True, I guess I mean more the front three, plus Kvaradona.

Separate point but Hakimi is absolutely amazing.

handsome bastard too

should also apologise to the people of Georgia for mixing up Kvaratskhelia and Mkhitaryan's nationalities

i did a skeet about lukaku mid-game and then realised wtf no, so less shame for you.
