2022-23 UEFA Champions League

Mr.Nice Guy · 25-10-2022 9:56pm

Juve are out, and the Europa League isn't guaranteed either.

breezy1985 · 25-10-2022 10:47pm

Ah jeysus that poor lad from Shakhtar 😳

Agent Coulson · 26-10-2022 6:33pm

Have Barca any family silver let to sell now.

A great day for football seeing them go out of the Champions League and drop into the Europa League.

Im sure the local banks and government will magic something up.

eigrod · 26-10-2022 7:20pm

Bruges throwing the Porto game….0-4 on 76 mins. Makes qualification really difficult for Atletico Madrid. Simeone will be spitting feathers later.

NIMAN · 26-10-2022 7:21pm

They went all in.....and lost.

That's the gamble.

Agent Coulson · 26-10-2022 7:22pm

Simeone & Atletico deserve everything they get with there anti football.

Madrid the only Spainish team left in the competition now.

NIMAN · 26-10-2022 7:49pm

Atleti used to have a lot of casual neutral fans, as they were the underdogs in Spain and decent in Europe. And their manager was a bit of a loon.

But their tactics and general shithousery has tired over the years. Now I like to see whoever is playing them win.

Still in Atletico's hands to qualify win their 2 remaining games and they are through

eigrod · 26-10-2022 7:55pm

Going to be some big name clubs dropping in to the Europa this year. Potentially 3 from Spain, Barca, Atletico & Sevilla all in 3rd place in their groups at the moment.

Agent Coulson · 26-10-2022 7:57pm

They aren't that poor mouth either Simeone has spent over €1b on players as manager there along with being the highest paid manager in the world for most of his time there as well.

Mardid spent €1.3b in the period

Barca spent €1.8b in that period.

Mr.Nice Guy · 26-10-2022 8:12pm

Simeone gives Napoli the lead against Rangers. It's been coming.

Make that 2-0. Simeone again. Lovely cross by Rui.

Nearly 3-0 as Ndombele hits the crossbar. Rangers could be in for another hammering here. Osimhen, Zielinski and Kvaratskhelia on the bench and may get a run out later.

Did you smash it · 26-10-2022 8:29pm

hope we see Carrasco at an actual football club before he passes his prime

sligeach · 26-10-2022 8:43pm

Great pass by Henderson and excellent flicked finish by Salah for 1-0. Ajax will be cursing themselves as they missed a couple of glorious chances. And just now, Nunez smacks the post, should have been 2-0.

dastardly00 · 26-10-2022 8:45pm

Ajax must be sick. Dominated for 40 minutes and they then concede. What was the keeper at.

awec · 26-10-2022 8:45pm

Should be 2 , Nunez hits the post from a tap in 😞

Agent Coulson · 26-10-2022 8:46pm

Rope-A-Dope from Liverpool let Ajax run themselves intot he ground and then hit them on the break.

TheRiverman · 26-10-2022 8:47pm

Nunez is a liability for Liverpool.

sligeach · 26-10-2022 9:08pm

You were saying? 😉 Excellent header to make it 2-0.

Agent Coulson · 26-10-2022 9:08pm

Nunex ran Ajax ragged in the first half and now scores a cracker of a header.

sligeach · 26-10-2022 9:09pm

Elliott makes it 3-0. All terrific goals.

Agent Coulson · 26-10-2022 9:10pm

Ajax burnt themselves out in the first 30 minutes Liverpool could a hat full now.

TheRiverman · 26-10-2022 9:11pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119797367#Comment_119797367

I was just going to type the " aged well" comment 🤣. Great goal by Elliott

ShamoBuc · 26-10-2022 9:16pm

Nunez is a fine signing who seems to be getting better and better. Causing more and more problems for defenders with his movement and his finishing will get better. He is surprisingly fast.

Some are quick to write him off. I reckon he will prove himself again and again.

Liverpool really have taken the wind completely out of the Ajax sails.

Fitz* · 26-10-2022 9:22pm

Nunez MOTM no matter what happens from here on out for me. Very impressed with his work ethic.

Mr.Nice Guy · 26-10-2022 9:40pm

Ostigard makes it 3-0 Napoli from a corner.

citytillidie · 26-10-2022 9:57pm

Some drama in Madrid ref blows for full time at 2-2, and goes for a VAR check to award a pen to Madrid who have then missed the pen

Drumpot · 26-10-2022 9:58pm

Spurs mugged with that disallowed goal

Mr.Nice Guy · 26-10-2022 9:58pm

The finish to Atletico/Leverkusen was mental. How did that not go in.

Agent Coulson · 26-10-2022 9:58pm

Great game week seeing Juve, Barca & Atleitico knocked out.

Dr. Bre · 26-10-2022 9:59pm

Some finish to the Spurs game ! Conte sent off

ShamoBuc · 26-10-2022 10:00pm

Joke of an offside decision in Spurs game.

Delighted Atletico had some misery tonight.

Kiith · 26-10-2022 10:02pm

Can't really blame Conte for going mad. Took 4 minutes to make a decision, complete farce. Ball came backwards from Emerson, how can that be offside?

It was given because of this image, without anyone looking at the ball.

VAR is ruining football for me - taking the spontaity out of the game , every goal you now have to wait the 3 minutes - like some stupid computer game now.

McFly85 · 26-10-2022 10:04pm

He was offside, but it defo shouldn’t have taken so long to get to the decision. A grandstand finish in group D with all teams only separated by 2 points!

eigrod · 26-10-2022 10:05pm

Spurs group is incredibly tight. A draw v Marseille will be enough but going to be nervy as a win will put Marseille through

Kiith · 26-10-2022 10:05pm

We should have won the group except VAR made an idiotic decision.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119797695#Comment_119797695

And with a game to play. Shocking except it isn't as all 3 have been useless for a while now.

Atleti were very lucky to get out of the group last year. Probably wouldn't have except the ref made some terrible mistakes in the Milan game.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119797737#Comment_119797737

True, but that offside goal is seriously annoying. The ball went Backwards and then forward off a defender.

Soups123 · 26-10-2022 10:11pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119797762#Comment_119797762

The ball going backwards is irrelevant, as it leaves the head Kane has to be behind the ball, it’s tight but it looks like he’s fractionally ahead of it.

McFly85 · 26-10-2022 10:13pm

The direction of the ball doesn’t matter? The screenshot shows Kane has a foot offside when the ball intended for him was played. Correct decision, but just took too long to confirm.

TitianGerm · 26-10-2022 10:15pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119797762#Comment_119797762

They'd 7 points from four games before tonight when they really should have walked the group. They've the best starting 11, the best squad and best manager in the group.

Kiith · 26-10-2022 10:21pm

I always thought if it went backwards and deflects off a defender, it didn't count as offside. Guess that's why i'm not a ref.

Joke that it took so long though.

Xander10 · 26-10-2022 10:28pm

Correct.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119797841#Comment_119797841

Where it goes backward , the receiver is usually behind the person playing the pass. Kane was in front, deflection into him is irrelevant.

Mr.Nice Guy · 26-10-2022 10:32pm

Arsenal fans will be loving it if Sanchez, Guendouzi, Kolasinac and Tavares knock Spurs out. I don't expect it, but Tottenham's away record in Europe is pretty poor.
