2017/18 Champions League

Checked the highlights. That penalty at 4-1 laughable. Chompers grabs his head then throat. Uefalona.

Check the history books pal, 90% of penalties are laughable.

In fact, the "away goal" rule is laughable. Imagine Barcelona won this leg 5-1, aggregate is 5-5, yet the team who just got smashed go through because they scored one goal "away from home."

Haha, do they document Nibblers dives in the history books? I don't care who won as I don't care for either team. I was just pointing out the way played for contact with his feet then grabbed his head and throat.

No arguments on the away goal rule. Just as bad going out after getting a goalless draw in the first leg and then going out after a 1-1 draw in the second.

Looks like PSG could have used David Luiz...

PSG are kidding themselves if they blame the referee, what an amazing collapse

Nice result for Leicester this morning, knocking out Sevilla

 

[Haffa]

Hope they knock out the Catalan scum next round.

They did play well, talk about a new lease of life.

The penalty kick from Seville was atrocious. Chance blown

PSG is one team, Juventus is another. I can't see Barca coming back in the 2nd leg down 0-3 against one of, if not the best, defensive team in Europe.

Yeah, you'd have to think their luck might have run out

Not sure who the pundit on BeIN was who remarked that Barcelona without Messi would be an 'average' team (or words to that effect). Might have been a little OTT, but it's still difficult to see how they will put three past Juve

Sad to see BvB's bus attacked as well, although that's the world we now live in

Luckily only one of their players was injured

Agreed. Barca are still a top club. It's actually a luxury that Messi has with Barca's midfield. Take a look at how well Argentina do with Messi - good but not good enough to win a WC. The midfield is the critical part in a team. Having a classy forward there to finish off their hard work is a bonus.

 

[Haffa]

Forza Juve. Finish the scum off.

A sign of the world's progression lol

more like regression

This. It's IRA levels of madness.

They always struggle without the help of Refereeinho tbh. He 's been their best player in crucial moments for years.

They even help shit merkins like Sevilla, should have had two penalties against them in the EL final, would have been game over.
