2016-17 UEFA Champions League

It's like a game of heads and volleys

GavRedKing

Brilliant again

spock.

4 assists and a goal for Neymar.

Wow.

LuckyGent88

some finish by Suarez.

Amazing how much Cavani has regressed since he left Napoli. He was an absolutely lethal finisher for them.

It's just the finishing though...as a player I think he looks as good, if not better than he was then. More involved in the game, makes countless excellent runs - just lacking that lethal finishing from before. Hopefully a few weeks playing centre forward himself rather than supporting Ibra, and he'll get that killer instinct back.

Great technique by Suarez.

How many goals will Celtic let in in this group?

Ita getting embarassing now. I said 5 or 6 it could be closer to 10.

Yeah I fancied it to be very high too. The fact that Barca lost the weekend always meant this was going to be a bad night for Celtic.

Mr.Nice Guy

Arsenal equaliser. Unbelievable. Sanchez scores.

That's what all those misses do to you.

LuckyGent88

All those missed chances by psg coming back to bite them

Cavani will be kicking himself. They should be out of sight

He'd probably miss

If they cop on, there's still time enough for them to keep doing the same things and get the win. Just need to keep their heads.

<edit> just as i say that, they create another excellent chance, and another miss :-/
Bloody great save to be fair enough.

If he tried he'd probably miss though.

Ah Cavani now

Mr.Nice Guy

This is why PSG won't be in the mix for the Champions League. They have the players in other areas, but not up front.

You stole my bit.

Do it again and you'll end up like the original Alfalfa.

Finishing cost PSG against City last year, should have won the first leg by 3 or 4.

~Rebel~

Huge save there from Areola, thought that was gonna nestle in the bottom corner.

Was that so hard Wenger? Sanchez winger Giroud St!

Sweet jaysus Celtic.

Suarez again
This is painful

~Rebel~

PSG losing the plot a bit...keep playing in high balls when that's been their least effective outlet. Keep it on the ground and you'll get chances!

Mr.Nice Guy

Giroud and Verratti sent off.

GreNoLi

Good lad Giroud, back to back.

Mr.Nice Guy

Another chance from PSG. Marquinhos misses this time.

Full-Time. Amazing that Arsenal have come away with a result. PSG will be kicking themselves.

Did Celtic even kick off there...I mean how did barca score so quick again...:o

Rodgers and defending rarely go hand in hand.

Although at this level, celtic havent a hope, 3rd in the group is the best they can hope for IMO and scores like this wont help the goal difference.

There is no goal difference in the Champions League.

If it comes down to it, and they manage to have an equal head to head with someone theyre fighting with for 3rd/4th, its GD, highly unlikely.

I dont think they'll pick up enough points to catch Gladbach for 3rd down the line anyway.

Does it not come into play if 2 teams are level on points & head to head?

Jelle1880

Man City game will be moved to tomorrow 19.45, just confirmed by them.

They would also have to have equal away goals.

sligeach

Just seen the highlights of the PSG v Arsenal match. Cavani is some donkey, if you didn't know any better you'd say some of those misses were deliberate. He could and should have easily had a hat trick and then some. Arsenal were very lucky.

Some class goals by Barcelona tonight, MSN on form

Could be breaking Bate's record of 24.

NIMAN

There is a good chance they will lose all 6 games, based on what they showed last night.

They were shockingly poor. I don't even think Barca were playing at full tilt.

Shows you just how bad Rangers really are.

Messi covering his mouth having a good laugh at one stage was the funniest moment of the game

Celtic will lose all their games and will concede a mountain of goals

GavRedKing

I dont think Barca trouncing Celtic was needed to show everyone how bad Rangers and by extension, the Scottish league is.

If Celtic qualify for the UCL year on year they'll steadily improve and be able to attract better players, although truth be told, the Europa League is probably their best hope of getting out of a European group stage.

Had they got lucky and been drawn in Leicesters group (the easiest in the UCL) they might have fancied their chances for 2nd and had a shot at 3rd too, they're on a hiding to nothing with the group they're currently in.

If Celtic can manage 3rd in the group they will have done well, they could make a good fist at the EL.

Can't really see it , Gladbach are leagues ahead of Celtic. Would take something pretty special, lots of good home results at least.

eagle eye

Celtic are the weakest team in the group, they have to face Messi, Suarez, Neymar and Aguero and they have Bredan Rogers, the man famous for being clueless about defending, as their manager. It's not going to be pretty at all and the Bate record is certainly on.

GreNoLi

Spurs monaco should be interesting, hoping leicester can get a result.

If it doesn't have to include an English side then Juventus/Sevilla would be the pick of the night imo.

I've been looking forward to Spurs-Monaco all week. Monaco have been great so far this season and I fancied they could beat Spurs. Then I saw the Monaco line-up:

Subašić, Fabinho, Jemerson, Dirar, João Moutinho, Falcao, Bernardo Silva, Bakayoko, Sidibé, Raggi, Glik.

Yep, Falcao starts. I'm quite concerned this could be another Cavani situation (but without the goal). Supposedly he's looked good in training. We'll find out if there's anything in the tank left.

Bakayoko and Fabinho have been excellent so far and Glik and Jemerson have done well in defence so I'm keen to see how they get on.

I'll go for 1-1 just because that Falcao selection has thrown me.
