Champions League Thread 2014/2015

Good to see the World's most expensive footballer jogging around like he's just landed from Mars and seen a football for the first time. Still frimmers will make endless excuses for a former spurs player.

Corrected for you.

[No Fixed Abode]

Is it time to scrap the away goals rule?

Juve played really well last night, but a 1-0 defeat next week will see them out. Seems pretty harsh.

[Big Foot]

Very good match last night, enjoyed that from start to finish

Juve playing probably the "least Italian" football I've ever seen from an Italian team

[Brum Royal]

Juve have an additional 30 minutes to score an away goal in extra time though. I think it's probably fine left as it is tbh.

They did play well last night though, a couple of big misses which I hope don't come back to haunt them. Llorente should have buried that header for 3-1.

But then you have a scenario where a team going out of the competition hasn't been beaten. Scrap away goals rule I reckon.

Yeah, if it was JT he would have thrown everything in the way

[Franchise FC]

He's just cost Bayern any chance of beating Barca.

Not because his performance was anything less than excellent, but simply down to taking a goal kick way too quickly.

Neymar dives, ref goes for his pocket which would mean a second yellow and therefore red, but Neuer decides to take the goal kick quickly which lets the ref off the hook.

Bayern lose the ball, Messi scores and the rest is one way traffic.

If he waits, it's still 0 - 0, Barca are down to 10 and it's all to play for.

Idiot.

[Sanguine]

I have oft been accused of 'w@nking over Messi'. Frankly, after last night's performance, I think it's entirely justified.

Frightening.

[RG30]

But could he do it on a Tuesday night in Stoke

[Big Foot]

Immense performance from Messi last night, was very good from start to finish

Commentators saying about how they'd "never seen a side do 11 vs 11 man marking" - obviously didn't watch Reading at United away opening day of the 07/08 season

Did this really need its own thread?

tbf it was 11 v 10 for the last 20 minutes

[No Fixed Abode]

Messi is the best player in the World this week.

Next week it will be Ronaldo.

Sigh.

That wasn't funny the first time i heard that about 10 years ago.

[Kitsondinho]

Oh Real.....Oh Bale....

[genome]

At least he was trying, I saw fcuk all of Ronaldo in that second half
