PSG ne sera pas sur cette chose - It's the Champions League 2017-2018 thread

Liverpool fans seem to have wiped the 5-0 defeat at City from their memories

I like this draw tbh.

Barca
Bayern
Juve

On the contrary. Tho I can't vouch for the Liverpool fans you've interviewed obv

Unfortunate timing for the Arse and their travelling support (if they have any) and disappointed the two Red Bulls aren't facing up to one another:

Arsenal vs CSKA Moscow
Atletico Madrid vs Sporting Lisbon
Lazio vs RB Salzburg
RB Leipzig vs Marseille

should be a few good Novichok-related chants if anybody can find a decent rhyme

Heh. RIP Arsenal iirc.

(not a chant, but a prediction of the match tbh)

Chants from Arsenal fans? What are the chances?

bow before your god mortals

Was about to say...

Just inhumanly good.

Dybala just got Nani'd. Same ref too lol

damn it i was going to do some "it hit his shin" trolling but that's photographic proof right there

he most definitely didnt rooney it

not even a pristine photograph like that will ever get me to care one fuck about Ronaldo: spoiler of football, destroyer of the fine game. He introduced vanity into football like the devil introduced himself into the holy bible iirc.

wait weren't they in green tonight

yup

Where are you, deems?

mine wasnt meant to be a gotcha! just generally got confused x

xp lol

Sets it up nicely.

!!!!

The fucking state of The Ox, man!

This is hilarious

"best team in the world" :p

I...don't know what to feel right now

this is great fun. Gundogan wide on the right an unexpected misstep. Without sane and sterling stretching play on both flanks there's just not enough on when city get on the ball

Pep is scared of Klopp, no doubt

Obviously barely matters what city do up top if they're going to defend like this

I heard some tool on 5 live pre KO saying that Mo Salah would just be a squad player at City.

how did they let a non-Liverpool fan sneak on 5 Live?

All four of next week’s second legs are going to be a formality at this rate.

2nd top goalscorer for Barca in their CL campaign is own goal.

some almost delightful Morbsian wordplay from a city fan on 5 live: Fraudolia Must Go!

Still don't think Liverpool are there just quite yet, but this is p huge.

^^^^

they'll score at the Etihad. I think it's done

looking forward to going into work tomorrow with the City fan who's normal default status anyway is 'grumpy twat'

just watched this

I'm bald now

city-liverpool is becoming the best fixture. still think city have a chance

can see it being 6-3 at the etihad, liverpool to go through

Xpost They do! I fancy Liverpool to get an away goal that will swing it in their favour though

de bruyne will have put in some beastings to pip salah for player of the season now

Massive credit to Klopp - the only manager this season who has gone up against Guardiola twice in succession, fearlessly played his own game, taken him on and beaten him - the second time more resoundingly than the first.

Given the interstellar level that City have been at or that everyone's agreed they've been at - it's an extraordinary achievement.

City, 2017-18 City, of all teams, didn't have a shot on target last night? That can't have happened before.

I'm getting annoyed by all the online whinging saying City didn't turn up at all. Liverpool got an early goal, nullified their threat and did a solid defensive job imo

ppl cannot grasp that opponents affect how teams can play, its always a case of losig teams just not trying hard enough to be present

Klopp has beaten Guardiola more than any other manager iirc. City have always been vulnerable at the back, it's just that most teams aren't able to get the ball off them for long enough to find out.

Was watching on a shitty stream but iirc at least 2 of the goals last night came from City losing possession cheaply

klopp has the best record against guardiola, who has only beaten him 5 times. but yes, the more general point is that pressing makes your opponents look bad. i've seen a few ppl say how spurs' victory over real was diminished bc real were off the pace without considering what that really meant
