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.

Oh no they aren't

Unbelievable

Goal 113'

Goal 115'

Wait juve need another cos away goal

Bullshit obv as it penalises second leg home team

Surely a pen

119' to juve VAR

Prob not

Three mins added time in extra time, all juve

Always a happy day when Juve lose.

Anthony Taylor ruining a potentially interesting match in Paris.

Anthony Taylor ineptitude is now making it more interesting.

Ref and var uninterested in Chelsea fouls here

(However light the contact, two fouls, one def in box one close)

How on earth is that a red

Ref is a joke tbh

PSG look like they can score at will vs Bayern.

Bayern playing incredibly well now, still losing

well, me posting did the trick

cannot like psg somehow

Fucking Chelsea though, ugh.

if the first-leg winners all prevail we are faced with a situation where man city might be the least evil club left in it

and that is worrying

best half of football I've seen this season. terrific stuff.

Absolutely

And city back brilliantly this half

Keeper should always track that ball for me, if someone gets a touch its still better than watching a lob go in from thirty yards

Oh the state of that wall holy shit

Cunts tackle, red all day and lucky if gundogan not badly hurt

If city played with a forward theyd have three more

You can take the Poch out of Tottenham, but you can't take etc etc

Cant argue that

Great fuckin match that but mbappe took the night off

They should have made the guy lying down stand in the wall imo.

Ex-@ManUtd manager Sir Alex Ferguson visited the PSG team hotel on this morning. The Lowry Hotel is currently only hosting the PSG squad, with no other guests currently staying there due to coronavirus restrictions.

lol

Neymar is a greedy shit and its costing his team here

Could be a very good week in Europe for those disgraceful ESL teams everyone is so disgusted by.

Impeccable counter

It would be good if that kind of thing wasnt a red card imo

lol

These cunts are like children it’s hilarious

Orange all day trevor

Another one there

Ref giving them a benefit

All four finalists from England for the second time in three years would be pretty bleak tbh.

ESLland rather than England tbf.

Nothin unbleak about oligarchy or shadow financing teams from any country owning the game tbh

But we're told the stout-hearted football fans of England would give up reaching Champions League finals by beating PSG in the semis for 51% fan ownership and midweek Carabao Cup games against Rotherham Utd.

If twere offered

christ this Madrid team is dire

It's completely mystifying how badly both Sarri and Lampard managed Kante.

kante, I was just msging friends about this, I did lol when fat Frank dropped him completely and sari's positional messing around was unnecessary too (to accomodate jorginho), tuchel is currently living at ngolo's house and wrapping every surface in cotton wool. he know's he's a winner, full stop.

Hazard : a sad shadow in this dad's army real team, no loving from zidane coming off, on the pitch at the end, laughing and joking with Chelsea subs, Madrid fans will be going mental

Romance of the cup the final everyone wanted

Is this is the worst season of football ever?

8,000 fans from the UK travelling to Turkey to watch City v Chelsea seems perfectly sensible

Fine if Turkey can be persuaded to keep them.

Sure that post-match Hazard image won’t be a big deal in Madr ... ah pic.twitter.com/e5pJih2RiX

If shonda isnt all over this then idk what

Turkey is in full lockdown until at least May 17. My work colleague is in the Ankara suburbs and tough luck if you can't persuade the gendarmerie that you're grocery shopping. Still, Istanbul, eh? Maybe, JUST MAYBE.

xp guardian journos plagiarising less prominent journos tweets is it

I'm sure they are taking the defeat well in the Madrid pre-ah. pic.twitter.com/AcFiDaPmC2
