Oooh, could be drama here.

I agree. I don't think they had the balls to give a red for that.

I dont think I can manage another tie against a **** house team, hope they get City.

Nowhere to hide in the CL now. Every team is massive

AM make Porto look like choir boys. I would just hope you get a strong ref like you had in the Porto game. AM only got 2 yellows and should have had at least 6 just for straight up cheating. Its a shame because they are a good team.
I can’t wait for tonight, should be a great atmosphere to soak up at the Amex. Can’t see us scoring 4 goals, but hopefully it’s a celebration all the same for getting to this stage, and we can walk away with a win and it all left on the pitch.
We’ve come along way, long may it continue!

cracking goal
Until this current round, all their sides were still in Europe and stupidly there's not much difference in the points you can pick up from the Europa compared to the CL. The season we won the CL, Chelsea actually got more points from winning the Europa because you don't just get points for progressing through the rounds but also based on wins - so Chelsea winning 6 from 6 Europa group games counted for more points than Liverpool winning 4(?) CL group games.
They take the average points from all the side from each country so Italy's average will begin to drop now that their 3 CL sides got knocked out. The PL is already 2 sides down and with Brighton very likely to go out, they could do with West Ham getting through or we're going to need 2 or 3 sides reaching finals to get a top 2 spot.
How on earth are the Europa League and Champs League games rated the same, so odd.
The rationale is that it's just as difficult to win a EL (or ECL) game as it is a CL game as the sides are (at least meant to be) the same quality. It's bonkers though. You do get slightly more points for progressing in the CL compared to the EL etc but it's not uncommon for the EL winners to end up picking up similar amounts of points to the CL winners thanks to winning more games along the way.
