UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread ** spoilers ** [15th - 17th April 2025]

Feel gutted for the Villa fans to be honest. Just gave themselves a little too much to do in the first leg and with that start here.
 
What a game, shame Villa couldn’t get that 4th goal. Next up, Arsenal, let’s see if they can keep their lead in Spain.

Yes its probably more gutting now having got so close to a comeback. A HT you kind of say, oh well beaten by the better team.

At half time I was fuming about a game I'd already written off because we gifted them the goal. I'm gutted now but at least they gave it a go and a win is a win, even if it's a loss on aggregate.
 
The PSG of old would have capitulated tonight. Since the second goal it's been a masterclass in game management from the French team. Great effort by Villa, fair play.

This is football fans in a nutshell. PSG rode their luck massively. The reason they won that game was some poor finishing from Villa and a bit of luck. Peoples view are far too influenced by final scores.

I think something we can all agree on though is that Rashford was world class and deserves a world class transfer fee in the summer.

Masterclass in game management is very funny

We beat ourselves 100%. I said in the first half this PSG team is mid tonight and a better team would have severely punished them. We showed up in the second half but the missed chances did us in.

That 92nd min goal killed us in the first leg. Just felt pivotal at the time and it bloody was.
Nah I disagree. 3-1 was more than winnable based on how they played tonight, they weren't very good in the first half either but we spent too much time holding the ball and were shocking at the back. Gifting them two goals tonight is what did us in, trying to overturn a 5-1 scoreline within 60 minutes is insane and the best part is we really should have done it.

Can't see Madrid keeping Arsenal from scoring tonight. Early Madrid goal would be nice from a neutral perspective but I would expect Arsenal to find gaps and a bit of joy, if Madrid start throwing everything at it from the off.

Never discount Madrid. You could remove the opposition goal from the pitch in the CL and they would still somehow score 3 jammy goals to go through. They are such a ridiculous team in the CL. I don't think they will do it but you can never discount them.
