Only Spurs rush in: it's the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2018/2019 thread

Classic Pepe absurdity swinging a stool about during the celebrations there

As a Paris supporter I’m pretty crushed this morning but they had it coming from the first minute. A pathetic display, once again. Surprised by the praise on Utd who I found insipid. As some pundit said, I’m not sure Utd deserved to win but Paris definitely deserved to lose

Quite enjoying the sight of United being given the condescending plucky underdog smiles on their faces treatment even though it's obviously bullshit. Like they're Fulham and this is a great Europa League adventure.

We had 10 players unavailable, including our entire first-choice midfield, and there was only one outfield player older than 19 on the bench

context matters sometimes

yeah they were the plucky underdog here tbh

No Matt’s right, they were always going to be a threat away at PSG with a midfield of ashley young, scott mctominay, pereira and fred

The rhetoric has been the same since Solskjaer took over, it wasn't just last night. Props to your determined heroes, its a real achievement for your midfield considering they're all bus drivers and postmen in their day jobs.

the richest club in the world won a match - what a beautiful story.

man united have become liverpool so much it must hurt, but presumably they'll spend their way out.

I suspect they're just happy to be there, with their hearts on their sleeves and a song in their hearts.

great last 16 so far

just needed a dortmund win for the perfect set

cmon schalke and lyon

they lost against ajax iirc?

united are above real in that list. i didn't think the mourinho gaslighting had affected perception of finances but i guess given the deep lowering of expectations elsewhere who knows.

oh fair enough - that puts it in perspective - dunno how the fuck united have patched a team together tbh.

so which one out of ashley young, scott mctominay, pereira and fred would you secretly love to see in a liverpool shirt?

none of them - you don't get to be underdogs just for having shit players though.

xp mctominay

Our previous manager was Jose Mourinho. You're basically mocking abuse survivors here

this is good stuff

by god i hope they get drawn together

Me too!

Would take literally anyone else in the draw over an English club. Not because I think we're more likely to beat the others but just because English clubs facing off before the semi-finals is just boring.

I have some bad news for you

Oh, nm read that as need and assumed you meant Bayern

Assume Porto is the dream tie most clubs will be hoping for.

And I guess most won't be too disappointed if they get Spurs xps

im gutted to be in the draw tbh thats how bad we are

hoping for schalke in the next round tbh

that man cron tho

Yep.

Some round of 16 this year

red surely

jesus theyre all so fuckin good

yeah looked like

not even a replay

The Cancelo tackle? The referee had already awarded a handball.

yeah that's why nothing happened about it

but it looked like serious dangerous play

still red

ref not booking chiellini there is embarrassing

lol

this is great

Man City confirming me in my conviction that I'd rather Celtic bypassed the Champions League and asked to be entered directly into the Europa League.

Terrible keeping but A+ from Mane.

Mane on a level above the bayern defence

ffs

I enjoy seeing Neuer get humiliated, whatever the circumstances

Unbelievable, I thought we'd scrape a 1-1 draw at best

when was the last time 4 english made the quarters

2008-09. QF: Liverpool v Chelsea (1-3, 4-4); Man U bt Porto, Arsenal bt Villarreal. Barca won the thing anyway.

07/08 I think? Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal vs Liverpool.

Going to have to go some to beat that year tbh with 3 in the semis and 2 in the final.

Beaten by the xpost

The coefficient gets halved Mar 29 regardless. Little known clause.
