UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread QF ** spoilers ** [9th - 11th April 2024]

I'm just glad Neymar has effectively ended his career by moving to the desert, not having to see him roll around on the floor clutching his face every time someone accidentally kicks his leg has been a highlight.
 
PSG are my favourite sports washing experiment. Buy old or average players, win the league you always won anyway, and win nothing else

Brilliant. Mine too. The fact nobody watches them or even cares makes it so much better. I didn’t even watch last night but them getting beat by Barcas kids last night is the way it should be.
 
Both games superb tonight, I kept switching between the two of them. They really have to mix it up and cater to market forces and split the two english sides over the two nights.
The thing is, both Madrid teams were playing at home so realistically they need to play those on different nights.
So then the choice is do you swap PSG-Barca for Arsenal-Bayern, which would mean both Barca and Real Madrid playing on the same night. When you talk about market forces, Barca and Real Madrid are bigger than the English teams (online articles suggest they are the two most supported/followed teams in the world), so I don't think you can justify overriding the schedule for that reason.

Play Real Madrid game in Madrid first while Atletico play in Dortmund.

True with the English teams that’s just me living in a PL bubble. I know the viewing figures are rubbish for the CL. I’d like to see a comparisment between the two night. I’d say Tuesday night blows Wednesday night out the water.
 
Gakpo Hattrick ?

That’s strongest bench we have had in months!

Best return there is Jota. Trent of course is a bonus but Bradley has been superb so no felt his loss as much as Jota as we have missed his finishing hugely!
