2021/2022 Champions League: Not the Super League

[Section30]

So much grabbing and pulling, are we watching football? Or is it Greco-Roman football where grappling is encouraged.

note: I would invest in tear-away uni's to show the ref and try and gain a call.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

This looks like bad news for City if Walker has to come off.

 

[Zososoxfan]

Kroos was devastated by his own inability to press quickly there. Still a terrific player and a legend, but not up to the pace here.

 

[Zososoxfan]

Does Valverde usually play out wide? I thought he was more of a central player. In any event, he doesn't look great there.

I feel it is out of necessity? Carlo Ancelotti clearly favors him over Rodrygo, and the gap to the next player (Asensio? Lucas Vazquez?) is huge.

Asensio has 12 goals across all competitions to Valverde's 1. Vasquez even has 3.

 

[Section30]

That collision may have done for Walker. left knee or ankle.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Sigh …. Liverpool/City final

 

[Catcher Block]

That's an unstoppable finish from Mahrez. Wow.

 

[Zososoxfan]

Sliced and diced. Madrid's lines were far too flat and stretched out, and City picked them apart.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Courtois wrong footed on that shot … should have had it

 

[ifmanis5]

Rocket. That should do it. Not a fan of finals with two teams from the same league.

 

[Pesky Pole]

Benzema would need to go PSG mode here but can't see it happening.

Neither am I, but outside of Bayern, who legitimately lost to Villarreal, these 2 are head and shoulders above the rest this season. Chelsea is probably 4th, but they kinda fell apart last month.

 

[the1andonly3003]

Am I the only one rooting for West Ham and LCFC to sweep the lower cups?

West Ham vs City/Liverpool for Super Cup

although if today's results hold, Salah would be disappointed

Totally Agreed. Just kind of a small bummer.

 

[ifmanis5]

Oh my. x2.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Well we’ll well

 

[Pesky Pole]

how much stoppage time?

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Real aren’t out of the UCL until they’re staked, burned, buried and an exorcism has been performed.

 

[ifmanis5]

It's back on.

 

[Pesky Pole]

holy eff

 

[JayMags71]

ALIVE

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Just wow

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Holy shit!!!

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Wow!!!!!!!!

 

[ernieshore]

Holy shit.

 

[Zososoxfan]

OHMIGOD OHMIGOD OHMIGOD

 

[the1andonly3003]

what....

 

[cromulence]

Gotta be shitting me. Fuckin Madrid.

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Holy shit!

 

[ifmanis5]

OMG

 

[coremiller]

No fucking way.

 

[cromulence]

Unreal. How does that even happen?

 

[pedro1918]

I stepped away for two minutes...

 

[allstonite]

Insanity. This is amazing

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

Just missed the heart with that stake, did City.

 

[cromulence]

Man City is now in full choke mode. They're freaking out.

 

[ifmanis5]

MCI regretting those two misses from 5 minutes ago.

 

[JayMags71]

Peter Drury verbalizes the questio we’re all asking : “HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!?!”

 

[67YAZ]

What the ever living fuck??? This is the greatest 2 legged tie ever.

 

[fletcherpost]

Bloody Hell

 

[JayMags71]

What the ever living fuck??? This is the greatest 2 legged tie ever.

Dude

 

[nolasoxfan]

Well, I certainly picked the right time to put this game on XM. Real Madrid are like zombies….better give them a kill shot or they’re gonna get you.

 

[Zososoxfan]

Madrid almost caught asleep at the wheel there. WOW ZA

 

[bosox4283]

Asensio has 12 goals across all competitions to Valverde's 1. Vasquez even has 3.

I had no idea that Asensio has so many goals this year.

 

[ifmanis5]

This is out of control.

 

[BigSoxFan]

How does the 2 leg tie get resolved? PKs?

 

[bosox4283]

Real aren’t out of the UCL until they’re staked, burned, buried and an exorcism has been performed.

As an Atleti fan who has lost this year to Real Madrid, what you say is true.

 

[fletcherpost]

We need extra time.
