2021/2022 Champions League: Not the Super League

[Kliq]

Did not expect Werner to have such composure.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Timo Werner, somehow onsides.

 

[Zososoxfan]

Madrid's backline was so disorganized on that play. No 2 players in the same line, and the 2 weakside defenders both keeping Werner on.

 

[ernieshore]

That’s an amazing goal. What a pass.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Real levels. What a game/tie.

 

[CodPiece XL]

Hell of a pass.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Shocker!

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Wow, Villarreal!

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Bayern in very deep trouble

 

[DJnVa]

Holy crap.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Bayern in very deep trouble

They're lucky away goals don't count anymore or they would be dead.

 

[fletcherpost]

What a great match.

 

[fletcherpost]

Congrats to Villarreal, huge result for them.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Villarreal are through!

 

[Zososoxfan]

What a fucking pair of games. I need a cigarette.

 

[nayrbrey]

Benzema. Beast.

 

[bosox4283]

Real Madrid will not go away in the Champions League -- like the evil monster in the film that just won't die.

 

[fletcherpost]

I mean you give Benzema a free header in the box - what d'you expect? I felt Chelsea fell asleep for a minute there.

 

[Catcher Block]

Yeah, Rudiger fell over, but there were still 3 other yellow shirts in the box and none of them closer than 10 yards to Benzema.

 

[Zososoxfan]

Everyone was recovering back at full speed after the turnover. I actually give Rudi a ton of credit for the awareness to try and pick Benz up but it all happened too fast.

 

[Zososoxfan]

Pulisic has been really bad since coming on. Can't even make simple passes cleanly.

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

Pulisic has been really bad since coming on. Can't even make simple passes cleanly.

He's also been the only Chelsea player in dangerous positions since about minute 85, but yeah, the execution is not there tonight.

(Ziyech making a liar of me right as I hit "Post")

 

[Zososoxfan]

Oh Kai...

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

They certainly had some chances to level in the last fifteen minutes.

 

[Catcher Block]

That was a way better chance that it originally looked live and Jorginho completely flubbed it.

 

[Zososoxfan]

Brutal miss from Jorginho, Chelsea have had their chances.

 

[the1andonly3003]

not sure why Liverpool-Benfica is on CBS when the match that is closer is City-Atleti

 

[the1andonly3003]

Salah getting rested

 

[bosox4283]

Atletico are holding their own so far and have played well. Clearly, Atleti need to find some space but I'm happy with the first 20 minutes.

 

[the1andonly3003]

Liverpool B team strikes first

 

[67YAZ]

If only City had a £150m striker, their #8 wouldn’t have hit the post f from 6 yards out.

 

[the1andonly3003]

Benfica lining up with Everton in the lineup vs Liverpool...quite fitting (and confusing to hear Everton being called every so often)

 

[fletcherpost]

Foden's flesh coloured bandage is bothering me. I feel it ought to be light blue.

I hope Atleti score first. I don't mind 120 minutes of this. Such contrasting styles, fascinating stuff.

You got your wish -- Foden is back on with a blue one.

 

[67YAZ]

BOBBY at home!!!’

 

[Average Reds]

Complete gift.

 

[bosox4283]

These last 10 minutes or so have been great for Atletico. I'm not optimistic that Atleti can keep it up, but they need at least one more good chance in this stretch.

 

[67YAZ]

Bobby again!

 

[fletcherpost]

You got your wish -- Foden is back on with a blue one.

From a distance it looks much better, but it's a testament to how little he's been in the game this second half that i'm still waiting on a close up.

This is the best period of the tie for Atleti, they look most likely to score at the moment. City don't look nearly so comfortable on the ball.

 

[bosox4283]

Here comes Luis Suarez to find one more moment of magic.

 

[bosox4283]

I sometimes think about how slow Suarez has become, and then I wonder how slow I've become.

 

[67YAZ]

Atleti pounding on the door here, can't get through.

 

[Zososoxfan]

Citeh look nervy AF

 

[bosox4283]

That shot from Cunha was the chance Atleti has been seeking.

 

[Zososoxfan]

Savic is an idiot

 

[bosox4283]

Foden with some spectacular acting. Maybe his mom will bail him out again.

 

[67YAZ]

Did Savic just yank Grealish by his hair?

 

[bosox4283]

Savic is an idiot

Very dumb.

 

[fletcherpost]

Oh boy it's kicked off in Madrid.

 

[67YAZ]

Felipe gets red? What a sad mess to end a very tense match.
