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

Bernardo Silva possibly the most embarrassing penalty miss I've ever seen in my life.

yeah that one was hilarious. at least Modric's was just weak

i can take no joy in Madrid winning anything but hey it's the Champions League it's all heels

Fucking hell, how do Madrid get away with this stuff

Didn't have an attack worthy of the name for about 100 minutes. Bellingham was absolutely non-existent

Still, lol City etc

i had a low-stakes wager that Man City would score exactly one goal, and I cashed out early after their first one because it looked like they were going to add a second real quick.

Great day to be a salty premier league fan!!!

Dortmund beat PSG home and away, absolutely awesome.

I keep thinking of a West Ham supporter I heard on the radio after Leverkusen had put them out of the Europa League: "Bundesliga? It's like the Scottish league innit?".

an absolutely brilliant away performance, rarely lost intent to break and threaten either and so resolute in defence

everything you want in a team, that. some of the hold up play was of the very highest order.

fantastic reffing performance as well

Started off wanting Bayern to win but as the game wore on I thought why am I supporting Bayern Munich ffs? Anyway Neuer being to one to fuck it up was hilarious, Tuchel taking off Kane was pathetic now come on ye Dortmund!

Can Real play as badly again in the second half? I hope so!

Snakey last minute winner from Real, I'd say. Bastards.

I know I know.

I'm team Dortmund here

A couple of times BD made mistakes in midfield, reckon it will happen again and real will snatch something.

Real doing what they do - ride their luck, soak up the pressure, rely on individual brilliance. I hope not, but it feels inevitable.

and there we go

to be fair it's a great goal

Bastardos

it is OVER

Gave that one away. Oh well.

Boo!

wtf is going on

it looks like they've given up on having a competition altogether and it's just gonna be the most lucrative TV games replayed every fortnight for eternity

We've got the Douglas Luiz return match with Juve, Celtic, Bayern and fellow noobs Bologna at home, hmm

We also loaned the guy we got in part exchange for Luiz straight to Bologna

Surprised to see that wasn't my first ever post in this thread. What business could I possibly have had here?

hey don't ask me i just like to press my face up against the window

Leicester and the Vile have reached the promised land, perhaps Wolves can too, but they'd better be quick before the not-so-sleeping sleeping giant in South Birmingham rises up to crush us all like etc

Boarding an unfortunately-timed flight and nervously awaiting a probable systematic destruction by a Vincent Kompany team

the bavarian city will have offered the away support a warm welcome with the advent of oktoberfest, and yet on the field such generosity will be in scant supply it must be assumed

Er, isn't the game in Birmingham?

the west midlands will have offered the bavarian supporters a warm welcome with alehouses to arguably rival their own, and yet on the field the hosts will be aiming to avoid such generosity as many assume they may be susceptible to given the apparent gulf in experience and, it must be said, financial clout, although the latter has come into increasing question given the big-spending expl

jesus that last couple of minutes sounded tooth-grinding

the rosy glow from villa's greatest epl-era result will last until at least the weekend when the bluenoses rack up ten at the valley

we've all missed big games biscuits, not to worry, this'll definitely happen again

They're playing Utd on Sunday

Let the good times roll

Hi everyone

Hope you're all having a lovely evening 👍

LOL City getting trounced by Sporting Lisbon.

i'm sure they can get their revenge fairly soon, of a sort.

... and Real losing at home to Milan. It's looking like a good night all round.

have tbh

if pep isnt winning every game at city given everything

then what the fuck good is he?

genuinely meant btw. cunt has always been a handbrake on the assembled talents of any unit hes managed since the gift of messi

claudio ranieri mocked as tinkerman and has won a fucking premier league with leicester

pep the greatest coach in the world while inventing new ways for the best squad one could possibly assemble to play milk and buttons shite against their own actual talents

miserable fuck an all

xabi alonso back in his box. turncoat. most liverpool fans wanted slot all along.

watched a bit of the Sporting City game on TNT

Noel Gallagher was on co-commentary lol

cross-plugging at its finest

Still, at least we've got the football. Bring on the Villa!

😵‍💫
