Only Spurs rush in: it's the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2018/2019 thread

Blimey

Uh oh.

Blimey.

aww bless

That was more like it, best LFC have played for a while. Surprised Allison missing so many games hasn't cost us more in the league this season tbh. Still not really found the exact right method for away games in Europe over the last 3 years which is crazy considering this is the only time they've been knocked out. Competition looks p open now . kinda think Bayern should win it but still have a feeling for PSG, obv rooting for Atalanta.

One of the worst red card decisions... ever? In the PSG match

when there's no crowd, yelling 'oh fuck off' or such won't be so hard for the referee to ignore idk

kinda think Bayern should win it but still have a feeling for PSG, obv rooting for Atalanta.

Anyone but PSG tbh.

I was thinking that it'd be incredible for Bayern to start the season in crisis and end up winning the CL but i guess Real Madrid have done it enough times for the novelty to have worn off.

thank god they came to that decision before a bunch of matches were needlessly played this week

How will the masses be entertained now? Online chess can only go so far

I imagine twitch.tv are rubbing their hands with glee

Two really well positioned ties. Juve need to score three against Lyon, Real are 2-3 down on aggregate.

Juve have their traditional jammy penalty. 1-1.

Very tasty Jesus goal against Real.

Lyon hang on! 2-1 Juve on the night, 2-2 on aggregate.

Caquaret (20), Aouar (22) and Bruno (22) were exceptional in central midfield. Aouar has some experience but Caquaret and Bruno played their eighth and third games for Lyon respectively. You’d expect City to beat them but you’d have expected Juventus to have beaten them too.

Love too see a Depay panenka

Not that I care about this shitty competition but Man City winning it after overturning their ban would just about put the tin lid on it.

And you know it's going to happen.

Just had the bizarre realisation that the games tonight are still in the same round Spurs got knocked out in.

Bayern might have a case but I think you could justify having Man City as favourites.

I had to check that but you're right.

Psyched for Atalanta / PSG. Could end up absolutely any score.

Eesh, Ilicič, Atalanta’s top scorer, not playing tonight - or again this season - apparently because he flew back to Slovenia to see his wife and discovered she was having an affair.

Should be 1-1 after three minutes.

Atalanta 1-0!

Nice!

Come on ye Atalantans

PSG have been pretty awful.

Perhaps bringing Maxim Choupo-Moting on will turn it around.

is that the maxim choupo-moting once of stoke city, or a different maxim choupo-moting

Oh no, PSG level.

Choupo-Moting, the creator.

And a winner!

Aww booo

CHOUPO-MOTING!

MOTM based on the eight minutes he’s been on the pitch,

So cruel. They could easy have been more than one up in the first half.

Full of surprises this competition, as ever.

Choupo Chumps.

If Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting plays in the next round, it will mean the relegated Stoke squad of 2017-18 had players who played in the 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2019 & 2020 Champions League semi-finals.

lmao at all of this

How many of those are Glen Johnson though?

Olmo!

The game absolutely needed a Leipzig goal.

Joao Felix playing the Choupo-Moting role for Atleti - winning and scoring a penalty and generally making them look 200% more dangerous having come on.

2-1 Leipzig. An American child has scored.

Pass of the round so far from Sabitzer there, Atleti on way out

What a start. Bayern look deadly. 1-0 after three minutes.

There aren't many positives to covid but a single leg tie between Barca and Bayern on a Friday night is absolutely one of them.

On course for a 20-20 draw.
