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

Someone had to

United have seemed comfortable.

The second half of Zenit vs Bruges was absolutely wild.

this is the PSG we know and love, but Utd have been really solid

Telles has an unbelievable cross on him. Hopefully our lads will learn how to attack them eventually

Lovely header from Martial.

Ah fuck off

Bizarre

I actually cannot fault that performance

Not even the kit?

The kit's grown on me

Bless Eder and his ability to score once in thirty matches, but only in big games.

Real are two nil down

Lol, three.

Against the Shakhtar b-team as well!

Great goal from Modric. If Shakhtar sit back, there’s no way they’re holding this lead.

Vinicius scores three seconds after coming on.

this is the sort of predictable fascist parade that they specialise in

it'll finish 6-3

VAR comes good at last.

Good draw for Lokomitiv.

oh excellent, my jinxes never work usually

Szoboszlai is so good. Traore at Ajax looks excellent too - only one goal so far today, he scored five at the weekend.

The five at the weekend was amateur hour tbf

Madrid 2-0 down, you love to see it.. again!

Madrid level!

I was thinking the fake crowd noise at the Chelsea game was unusually good

then I realised there are actual fans in the stands

Morata has had three goals disallowed through VAR.

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.

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

i saw this on social media, shudder.

cross-plugging at its finest

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

😵‍💫

quite

Can we just switch this week off and start it again from the beginning

no id take this, all in all

Can only take solace in the fact that Bruges will concede the exact same penalty soon because someone obviously has money on it

If anyone would be interested in converting me to a religion, or perhaps a cult, I am at a very low ebb here

LOL I've just seen the Feyenoord goals.

Bradley clattering Mbappe, what a moment.

Lovely goal

Caoimh a bit of a shark at the penalties

Mbappe was never scoring that though

horrible run up

I honestly felt the same, terrible body language.

Still feel we might let the win slip here.

ouch, Mendy made to look quite silly there

Yikes

wait wtf

Should shave a few quid off the new contract

Slot seems to have really brought back the concept of "get it in the mixer"

Modric almost had him!

Bradley may not be as talented as Trent with the ball, but I sort of wonder if you're just better off with him in general since he doesn't switch off. Had a brilliant game tonight.

Slot must be thinking "who is this Klopp guy"

Robbed of a last second winner for FUCK'S SAKE

Bradley and Jones were superb tonight.

MacAllister also. Such a great player. That midfield is the best we've had in years.
