He left Alphonso Davies (I think) absolutely for dead there, he didn't know where he had gone, left him so long to tee up the shot.

This move was amazing but they cut the first half of it off (I don't get why they do that on the highlights, don't they understand the game well enough to see the value in the whole move? If they don't then why are they making highlight vids?).

Or another way to say that might be that Davies got done and made fuck all effort to get back in the game.... looked at the defenders there and thought "there's enough of them, I'll just chill back here a bit".

Some of the front three play by PSG was flat out ridiculous, like watching someone on a PS4 or whatever kids play FIFA on. Nutmegs for fun, first touches like caresses, no show passing, all done at pace. Definitely felt they were deserved winners over two legs.

Yeah I don't like the club (obviously - no-one does) but the passing and breaking was fast and frightening. Especially considering that Bayern had most of the ball. Also that one (afterwards given offside) where Mbappe was through two-on-one against the keeper and you think maybe best to pass it to be sure but he just blasted it through the keeper and almost through the net too. Not sure I've ever seen the ball struck so well, swept so contemptuously past the keeper (Neuer too) as though he wasn't there .

That was beautifully weighted



It is a kind of strange one, people will say he's unlucky of course, but what was he trying to do, just put it out for a corner? Even that seems a little unnecessary in the circs.

If you're a good player playing for a bad team and the ball is sitting on your goalline, do you:

a) clear the ball like a gud boy and return to obscurity
b) 'bizarrely' decide to sit on it, squeezing the ball out into your own net hilariously before dropping your shorts to reveal a website link to your highlights reel

It's a no-brainer.

If he deliberately did that curling lobbed sliding tackle into the top corner from 35m out then he deserves any plaudits he gets in my opinion.

Poor sod - I’ve scored my fair share of OGs over the years - it’s an horrendous feeling, no one on your own team will look you in the eye. Lonely place indeed.

One time I was visiting my girlfriend (at the time) at her uni and her flatnates were playing footie so I went and kicked the ball about with them, played pretty well and they were obviously impressed cos it turned out they played in a team and they had a game next day and they asked me to play for em. And I think they told them I was really good, was gonna boss the game, they stuck me in centre mid which is my worst position, I'm terrible at heading. I had to play in this borrowed kit that was way too small, the boots had this massive hole down the side and I could barely stand never mind run. The game consisted of the keepers lumping it into midfield where I lost every single challenge and then, to cap it all I gave away a terrible and unnecessary penalty with a dreadfully mistimed challenge about five minutes behind the ball, it felt as though I was at the centre of this circle of people staring at me in horror and I wanted the ground to swallow me up... we lost 2 - 1, it was entirely my fault and it capped the most excruciating 90 min of my life. Though in my defence I dunno how well anyone could have done in those boots.

How real is this though

UEFA have made a new tournament which is effectively the bums of Europe Cup, are adding another 30+ to the champions league

Their main TV draws are telling them to fuck off in no uncertain terms

It seems like a power play to me

Dunno how real it is, sounds like an unbelievably shit idea though either way. As does the new champions league fair enough.
