As a Bético I am pleased with that draw, managed to avoid the heavy hitters.

Mr.Nice Guy · 17-02-2022 6:09pm

Teams for Barca vs Napoli:

Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen; Mingueza, Pique, Garcia, Alba; de Jong, Nico Gonzalez, Pedri; Traore, Aubameyang, Torres.

Napoli Xi: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Koulibaly, Rrahmani, Juan Jesus; Ruiz, Anguissa; Elmas, Zielinski, Insigne; Osimhen.

Looking forward to this game. Still feels strange looking at that Barca front three.

Mr.Nice Guy · 17-02-2022 7:16pm

Zielinski gives Napoli the lead moments after Torres should have scored.

irishguitarlad · 17-02-2022 7:33pm

Betis up 3-2 heading into half time, Canales and Fekir didn't travel. Mad game, dzuba is an absolute unit.

Mr.Nice Guy · 17-02-2022 7:54pm

Dortmund getting hammered at home by Rangers. 3-0 down after 50 minutes. Haaland not in the squad.

Make that 3-1. Bellingham has pulled one back.

4-1 Rangers now. Looks like an O.G.

Torres equalises from the penalty spot for Barca after a handball.

Lovely strike from Guerreiro to get Dortmund a 2nd. About ten minutes to go.

Zenit should get booted out of the Europa league now

Mr.Nice Guy · 24-02-2022 8:51pm

Caught the second half of Lazio vs Porto. It was a good effort by Lazio but Porto saw it out. Luis Alberto went close a few times. Leipzig winning away 3-1 at Sociedad is a very good result.

Napoli/Barca and Dortmund/Rangers should be good games coming up.

Mr.Nice Guy · 24-02-2022 9:15pm

Napoli 2-0 down to Barca after 12 minutes. Lovely strike from Frenkie de Jong for the second.

https://twitter.com/VMSportIE/status/1496942291759554567?cxt=HHwWjoCz2anFmsYpAAAA

2-1. Insigne pulls one back from the spot after Ter Stegen fouls Osimhen. Rangers have scored from the spot as well and Dortmund now need 3 goals...

1-1 at Ibrox as Bellingham scores.

Malen makes it 2-1 Dortmund. Bellingham involved again. Dortmund need one more to level the tie.

Barca score just before half-time. Nice goal by Pique. Barca the better side atm.

2-2 at Ibrox. Tavernier scores a second. Dortmund back to needing 2 more.

Aubameyang scores a peach for Barca. Think that's Napoli done now. They need 3 to level it.

sligeach · 24-02-2022 10:18pm

Barcelona have scored some beautiful goals tonight. 4-1 on the night now. 5-2 overall.

Mr.Nice Guy · 24-02-2022 10:28pm

Looked like Rangers had gone 3-2 up but VAR has chalked it off for a Morelos foul. Dortmund have to go for it in the final 20 but Rangers looking dangerous on the break.

Rangers see it out and will be in the draw at 11am tomorrow. West Ham will be one of the seeded teams.

citytillidie · 24-02-2022 10:51pm

UEFA making sure Zenit are out with that VAR decision

Tought draw for West Ham

Good draw for Rangers.

sligeach · 25-02-2022 12:54pm

Rangers got the easiest draw possible. And when you look at some of the other draws, they're tough.

Mr.Nice Guy · 25-02-2022 1:58pm

Some good ties. Sevilla vs West Ham will be interesting. Atalanta vs Leverkusen should provide a few goals. Porto/Lyon looks a tight game.

I don't like seeing Spartak Moscow still being allowed to compete in the competition with what's going on in Ukraine. We're told the CL final can't be held in Russia but yet Leipzig are still expected to go there and play football? Abhorrent to think of Russian fans cheering on a football game while their neighbours in Ukraine are being showered with missiles.

After beating Dortmund, they probably deserved a break. No easy ties though, Belgrade atmosphere will be crazy. Rangers will be looking to take a good lead over there.

I agree that Spartak should be thrown out of the competition but the match will not be taking place in Russia. It's to be scheduled for a neutral venue.

Soucek scores for West Ham to level the tie. Good start from them.

Mr.Nice Guy · 17-03-2022 10:57pm

West Ham/Sevilla going to extra time. Eintracht/Betis is as well after a stoppage time goal from Betis. Lyon have knocked out Porto in the other game after a draw.

irishguitarlad · 17-03-2022 10:59pm

The Betis Frankfurt game is great viewing.

Mr.Nice Guy · 17-03-2022 11:22pm

Yarmolenko has scored to give West Ham the lead. Sevilla have 8 minutes to save themselves.

West Ham are through. Deserved win for them. Pleased for Yarmolenko.

Betis knocked out by Eintracht after an OG in the 120th minute. That's a painful way to lose it.

Confirmed quarter-finalists: Leipzig, Atalanta, West Ham, Lyon, Rangers, Barcelona, Braga, Eintracht Frankfurt.

irishguitarlad · 17-03-2022 11:35pm

Betis lost in the last few seconds of the game, sickening.

Beasty · 17-03-2022 11:37pm

Used to detest West Ham, but seeing Yarmolenko there has me in tears - c'mon you Hammers

ShamoBuc · 17-03-2022 11:37pm

Delighted for West Ham, you can see from the fans reactions what it means to them.

thebaz · 17-03-2022 11:38pm

Big result for West Ham and Yarmolenko

Hammer Archer · 17-03-2022 11:40pm

I am a fcuking wreck after that. Would have been a travesty had we not gone through. Yarmo's goal at the weekend seems to have given him a new lease of life.

Mr.Nice Guy · 07-04-2022 8:00pm

Leipzig/Atalanta was good fun. Ended 1-1. Andre Silva earlier had a pen saved. Terrific goal by Muriel:

https://twitter.com/VMSportIE/status/1512120333955960832?cxt=HHwWgMC4sdTbkPwpAAAA

Looking forward to West Ham vs Lyon. Want to see Ndombele at his best. Aouar, Faivre and Paqueta have the quality to cause problems, and Dembele is in good form. Never know what to expect with Lyon, though. Fancy West Ham to get on the scoresheet. I'll say 2-1 West Ham.

Mr.Nice Guy · 07-04-2022 8:53pm

Cresswell given a straight red for denying Dembele a clear goalscoring opportunity. Fans don't like it but looks the correct call.

West Ham have been disappointing in the first half. Lyon have been the better side. Looks challenging for them with a man down.

Did you smash it · 07-04-2022 8:53pm

West Ham down to 10. Cress well off deservedly for a foul denying a goal scoring opportunity.

the gowls at BT trying to make it into a highly controversial decision as is their want.

Hammer Archer · 07-04-2022 8:57pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118895776#Comment_118895776

If that was a foul then Bowen should have gotten a free 30 seconds earlier for a clearer foul.

That's a foul, but its not a red. The ref has been shite and has bought every single bit of Lyons cheating. Dembele is still on his feet and throws himself down too.

West Ham lead through Bowen. Boateng all over the place there.
