UEFA Champions & Europa League Football Thread SF ** spoilers ** [30th April 1/2/7/8/9 May 2024]

That should have been play on and let VAR decide if it was off or not.

Yeah why did they stop the game, is beyond me.

Real Madrid just have luck on another level.

 

[fez]

Curse of Kane combined with the luck of Madrid? No chance.

 

[Irish_Tom]

Poor 'arry

I really can’t feel sorry for him.

Yeh, should be!

Poor from the ref.

Massive lol taking off Kane. Kroos just looking at them like ‘unlucky’

 

[Purdy]

Looks off tbf

Rudiger pointing with leaning shoulder comfortably playing him on

Ref blowing as soon as the shot was hit also to ensure it didn’t matter.

 

[Vandle]

He wasn't great for us either but then again he was getting service from Matt Ritchie and not vini jr

Can you remember when they were filming Goal the movie? The actors used to get on the pitch immediately after the final whistle and run around like a dog chasing a ball in a Sunday league game. He looked like one of them.

 

[G-MAN2004]

What a moron blowing the whistle early there. Never a game goes by without a clown ruining it.

 

[Shamikebab]

Bayern have been unlucky to come up against Leverkusen and Real that both seem to have plot armour this season

 

[uber soldat]

Bloody unbelievable, looks like Real have been bribing Refs like Barca.

 

[Somnambulist]

We were making predications at work today and I said the god of jammy football moments would bless them with a game-changing goal near the end. When it’s their year it’s like they can be 4-0 down with 9 men and 15mins left to play and yet still win the game somehow.

EDIT - plot armour is such a perfect description.

Could this be the first time that the Europa League winner is the better team than the Champions League winner?

Fair result in the end really, Neuer's fault

Harsh. He was superb earlier in the game.

A big mistake but without him they’d likely have already been behind.

 

[Robbo]

Oh I agree, but Bayern fell apart when he spilled that shot. It was the turning point.

He isnt. He shouldnt have blown but hes off

 

[Reuben klang]

There was talk in a thread can’t find it about the best season ever.

Quote from the beeb

Winning a trophy treble of any sort in a season is an incredible and difficult achievement for any side, but to do it unbeaten takes it to another level.

Celtic memorably claimed a domestic Treble in 2016-17 without losing a game but, as brilliant as that clean sweep was, they did taste defeat in the Champions League and went out at the group stage.

Ajax famously were unbeaten in the Eredivisie and Champions League in the 1994-95 season but had one defeat when they lost in the KNVB Cup.

Should Leverkusen get to the end of the season unbeaten then they will have produced a campaign to live long in the memory - and in the record books.

 

[Purdy]

Oh I agree, but Bayern fell apart when he spilled that shot. It was the turning point.

Tbf a lot of why they were at that point was due to him too lol.

Classic madrid cl though, other team makes bizarre blunder and get your sponsored ref moment on top

 

[RavenXXX2]

Sums up ref last night.

Remember the don was at Everton at one point.

 

[Nate75]

Villa go behind.

That's a bridge too far now.
