Emre Can showing himself up to be a petulant twat more interested in getting digs in on opposition than getting the ball.

Turtyturd

Fairly cruel to leave Jones on this long.

This must be the worst ever performance by an English team in the CL quarters.

I'm not sure what you really wanted them to do. PSG completely flopped against them as they are tend to do. Man U should never have really gone through after the first leg.

Barca have just shrugged them off and strode into the semi finals. Man U are were they are as a club.

Don’t want this to end. Great match.

If any manager, be it Zidane in the summer, who wanted to buy pogba, if I was the man who signs the cheque I'd be asking him to show me a couple of performances that make him worth €100m+

I bet you they couldn't show you 2

Over the past 3 years or so, on merit he's probably a 60 - 70 million pound player. Great at times, but just not impactful enough in enough games to warrent top top prices. The guys who have gone for those prices have all always come off the back of great great seasons. No one can say Pogba has had a great season any time recently.

At 60m or so he's well worth the risk, as there's definatley a quality player in there. But for 100+m, you need a guaranteed performer regardless who your coach is, and regardless who's around him.


Keeping an eye on both games tonight... how is Ashley Young starting games? Absolutely woeful.

No they don’t. Especially not when it’s off the back of the run they had before that.

Didn't see Huntelaar on the subs bench in the graphics before the match

Slattsy

Thats a peno

GLaDOS

That'll be a pen id say

Quazzie

"Ronaldo still battling hard, what a winner he is"

Currently losing and drew the last match :rolleyes:

Guy:Incognito

A peno would set up a nice last couple of mins....

Potentially brilliant alright, though City are great at those bits of niggly ****housery and safe possession to stop teams even getting attacks going. Lots of little fouls when teams are deep in their own half, and slowing down any hints of opposition momentum by just moving the ball around themselves in safe areas, waiting for the right moment.

Spurs Ajax would be great though. Would love to see Ajax in the final, be a brilliant final against Barca or Liverpool (or Porto, but I wouldn't give them much chance of getting past Barca even if they win tomorrow)

Hector Savage

what a pity, Juve probably the only club with any chance against Barca...
Ajax will just lie down for them.

Agent Coulson

Ronnie is going to have a meltdown tantrum

Gbear

I'd say good call but it seems like refs just roll the dice with hand ball.

sligeach

Never a penalty, it was kicked at him from point blank range.

On replay, it didn't hit his hand anyway.

eigrod

Haha. That was 10 times more a pen than the Man Utd one at PSG

Edit : Maybe not.

Unbelievable. A semi final. I can't ****ing believe it.

On the beer for the night now!!

Amazing performance

Juve have done well out of the marketing departing regarding Ronaldo's transfer no doubt, lovely too see that not replicated on the pitch.

citytillidie

Right call never a pen

Ajax invented how City play, I'm sure they'll know how to counter City. Pretty sure Barca have even struggled with weaker Ajax teams a few years back

No chance mate. This team doesn't lie down for anyone.

Delighted for Ajax.

Unreal result for Ajax. Didn't think they could pull this off. Marvellous achievement.

Enjoying the ref in the Juve Ajax game, taking no ****.

Strange comment. They beat Real Madrid and are about to KO Juve.... Why would they lie down for anyone??

Having a laugh? Watched these lads a fair bit and they won't lie down. Have won at Juventus and Real of late. That takes serious bottle.

Vincent Vega

In realtime it looked like his arm moved towards the ball. Replay shows its the ball that puts his arm in motion.

How do you counter someone fouling you deep in your area?

Totally agree that if they were able to break they could cause major problems to City, but there's no team in the world better than City at stopping opposition play from ever even happening.

Yeah, like they did tonight in Turin and in Mardid v Real.

martyos121

Well done Ajax, thoroughly deserved victory!

They can actually win this competition, playing football like that they could beat any team in Europe on their day.

.G.

Brilliant Ajax.

Tonight couldn't have gone better. Cracking night of football

Turtyturd

Juve’s attempt to try buy a Champions League hasn’t really panned out.

Best in the world going into the semis while Ronnie crashes out.

Trust me, all the Dutch teams suck the cock of Barca

Best football I've seen in ages. Amazing to watch. Such a young team.

Ronaldo starved of possesssion tonight. Juve couldnt get the ball off Ajax to give it to him. This is a marvellous performance. This is no Leicester City, this is a team that plays with meticulous method and pattern and which such belief in their system.... As i said earlier, they make me fall in love with the game of football all over again..... Magic!!!!

Agent Coulson

Ronnie just walks off no shaking hands with anyone.

Pampered spoiled child.


Great to see the GOAT make the semi final hopefully Liverpool get to play him there.

Say Your Number

I hate that when a smaller team comes up like this, they are usually decimated in the next transfer window, modern football is such a load of bollox.
