2021-22 UEFA Champions League

This.

What a clown! Like an ould lad at a junior GAA match, roaring at the ref.

He shouldn't be anywhere near the field. What's even his roll there?? Emblematic of how poorly that club is being ran-fuckin hilarious.

In other news, big win for Benfica in Amsterdam!

Darragh Maloneys biased commentary was embarrassing, he couldn’t handle Atletico winning at all, it was hilarious listening to his sour grapes.

Ya anyone wanting a player like Martial as some form of hero from the bench is in cloud cuckoo land. The lad has never really done it at UTD and the majority of their fans were happy for him to go. Part of that posters French football fetish it seems.

Not really sure what the difference is in model between Liverpool and Madrid to be honest.

I was just talking about clubs who took too long to admit they had a serious problem and needed a patient rebuild.

2 wins in the CL knockout games for Man Utd since the 2011 final.

Olympiakos in 13/14, after losing the first leg.

PSG in 18/19, after losing the first leg.

Haven't won any other knockout ties, home or away.

Punditry was actually very good last night. Both of them sounded like they actually read up on the non English team and watch a bit of European football.

The old lads were great fun but it was like they never heard of football outside England and in their later years were completely phoning in any match that didn't involve the Irish or English (And yes I am including the guy who played in Italy over 30 years ago in that criticism)

There was some issue with him not signing a new contract in 1991(?) with the contract offer later being rescinded when he wanted to sign it at a later date.

He's incredibly bitter towards Liverpool now and I hate when he is on Liverpool's games and he ruins them.

Most ot the UK TV pundits and a fair few of the Irish ones don't say anything the average soccer fan would not have spotted themselves already. Most of in now in the UK is just clickbait where they try goad Roy or Neville into saying something angry to Carragher or vice versa.

Come the next world cup how many pundits could give us a good run down on a little known up and coming talent from one of the less obvious countries.

Hes so two faced, he's on the club channel then constantly with a totally different tone.

If he has his mind made up on a player he will spend all day bending every incident to fit his narrative.

He certainly sounds like a man who hates his job. Has absolutely zero enthusiasm when he is commentating. Just moans and moans.

Yeah. Been a shite game so far.

The penalty had made the tie interesting for a while

Bloody hell, just saw the score - did Juve just completely capitulate in the last 15 minutes?!

Lol, Juve hahaha.

There are some who would tell you they are a massive, European Club. Perrenial also rans, only 2 European Cup wins in their history, and one of them should never have been played (Heysel).

Massive underachievers.

Strange week results wise, the 4 group winners, Manchester Utd, Ajax, Lille and Juventus were all knocked out.

Last week all the group winners won.

I 100% guarantee AM will not win the CL this year. You and your mad notions are ridiculous.

Atleti will grind them down, no question!

I really think at quarters stage all games should be on different times. Maybe 6 and 8

Hopefully Atleti do a job on City and strangle the life out of them. The standard of defensive orientated teams in recent years has gone way back. Guardiola outside Barca simply isn't and shouldn't be good enough to win a Champions League. With the regression of good defensive teams though, City winning the Champions League would be a poor validation for his system and style of play

Majority of Liverpool fans haven't even got into the stadium yet.

Our situation is probably worse as we have to listen to Ronnie Whelan.
