2018-19 UEFA Champions League

GLaDOS

Mental penalty to give away, especially on a yellow! Ajax will see this out comfortably you'd think.

GLaDOS

And that's game over

Mr.Nice Guy

Plzen have beaten CSKA 2-1 away having been a goal down. That's a surprise. Ajax see the game out to win 2-0 over Athens.

What evening games are people watching? I'll be keeping tabs on Lyon vs City and Juve vs Valencia. Team news:

Lyon XI: Lopes; Rafael, Denayer, Marcelo, Marcal, Mendy; Ndombele, Fekir, Aouar; Depay, Cornet.

Man City XI: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Laporte, Zinchenko; Mahrez, Fernandinho, D. Silva; Sterling, Aguero, Sane.

Juventus XI: Szczesny; Cancelo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Alex Sandro; Bentancur, Pjanic, Matuidi; Mandzukic, Dybala, Ronaldo.

Valencia XI: Neto; Wass, Gabriel Paulista, Diakhaby, Gaya; Coquelin, Dani Parejo, Kondogbia; Guedes, Rodrigo, Santi Mina.

Would love Lyon to repeat their win over City but I don't expect lightning to strike twice. Will say City to win by two goals but I hope Ndombele, Aouar, Mendy and Depay can acquit themselves well.

I'll say Juve to win 2-1. Keen to see how Guedes and Mina get on.

Vincent Vega

Here so what's the flippin craic with RTÉ and their barebones coverage?!

I'll reluctantly watch a Man Utd game over others, and have done in the past, safe in the knowledge that at least I'd have the consolation of the highlights if it were to be a non event.

But now there are not even any highlights on offer? :mad:

If you have the BT Sport app Jon Champion is commentating on it.

snowblind

nope i have virgin sports

Mr.Nice Guy

Big chance for Lyon from a corner. Cornet can't take it. Great ball by Depay.

super_furry

State of Mourinho.

LuckyGent88

Ah will you come on to **** rashford. You have to finish that. This is why you don’t start week in week out.

super_furry

Jesus some amount of empty seats at Old Trafford. I suspect that like Ireland, that will be the thing that forces the board's hands.

TitianGerm

Jesus lads I didn't recognise Felanai without the Afro!!

Harry Palmr

Lots of Utd supporters wearing the red seat replica shirt tonight.

Berserker

Never seen so many empty seats at OT for a big game.

Mr.Nice Guy

Depay now spurns a great chance. And at the other end Mahrez forces a good save from Lopes. Good game, this.

Mr.Nice Guy

OMG Cornet with an astonishing miss. Great play from Mendy.

Can't pass up these chances against City.

Kevin Finnerty

This Roma side are so attacking.

KERSPLAT!

How did he miss that, shocking stuff. City should be 2 down. Though Marhez is doing similar the other end too with a couple of decent chances going begging

Harry Palmr

Mourinho really is of the "beatings will continue until morale improves" school.

Mr.Nice Guy

Fernandinho is walking a fine line. He's on a yellow and he got away with another foul there.

Mr.Nice Guy

Cornet off the crossbar! Lovely ball from Depay.

The Talking Bread

If Utd had Lukaku on the pitch they would easily be two up. Game is perfect for him lurking around the area

Harry Palmr

It sounds like Lyon are playing so well they can only lose

Mr.Nice Guy

0-0 in Lyon at Half-Time. Said I wanted Ndombele, Aouar, Mendy and Depay to step up and they have. Ndombele has been fantastic. He really is one of the best midfielders in the world right now. Going to be one hell of a bidding war for his services.

You mean the Lukaku who has has a streak of 1000 minutes without a goal? Sounds counterintuitive but ok

Jim Bob Scratcher

Under with the miss of the season against Madrid

Kevin Finnerty

Miss of the season there from Under. 5 yards out blazes it over. Brutal.

Harry Palmr

Under over

Mr.Nice Guy

Just saw it there. You're right. Miss of the season.

The Talking Bread

Robben must be in his 50's now! Mad to think he is only 34. Been around for ever it seems

An ageless very aged looking man!

Such typical Robben goals as well!

Martial is determined to win a penalty in this game if nothing else.

Mr.Nice Guy

CORNEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

What a screamer!

KERSPLAT!

Cracker from Cornet

The Talking Bread

And the other..........

Mr.Nice Guy

Great stop from Lopes to deny Aguero. Closest City have come to scoring.

Juve have taken the lead. Mandzukic taps in from a nice Ronaldo assist.

Mr.Nice Guy

Laporte equalises for City with a header from a set-piece. Nicely taken.

Almost 2-1 just as quick. Lyon need to withstand this spell. All City now.

super_furry

God United are poison, surely Mourinho can't last any longer. Tony Pulis with a suntan.

Noveight

United very blunt up front, good few potential chances squandered.

Lackey

De Gea saves Utd ,,,,again

gimli2112

some save in fairness

Noveight

Ridiculous stop, that.

Mr.Nice Guy

CORNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

2-1!

Depay assist.

Mr.Nice Guy

Bollocks. Aguero equalises.

Pep punching the air. Knows he's in a game here.

Berserker

Watching these European sides giving Man City a run for their money puts the quality of PL, where Man City can win a game by half time whilst playing in third gear, into context. Don't care what any pundit says, this Lyon would be a top four outfit in the PL.

Mr.Nice Guy

Full-Time and it ends 2-2. Lyon were the better side but couldn't take the chances to get the win. Not often the case that City get outplayed and need to rely on set-pieces.

Lyon have done Ligue 1 proud with their two displays against City.

Ndombele was my MOTM. I need to seek out the video comp of his performance from this match because he was unreal.

Lackey

Finally Fellani does it for Utd in the 90th minute

Berserker

I see United have got a winner in the 90th minute.

davycc

Jaypers man u finally scored.. hang your head's in shame Swiss Tony
