UEFA Champions League and Europa League Knockout Games **Spoilers**

[adam cool dude]

But they did. They won on away goals? Juve won on the night...

My apologies I thought they were all knockouts.

I'll let you off seems as the first leg was 3 years ago

 

[Kenai]

Yea...so it went to the last game then?

No, Juventus couldn't be caught with 2 games left to play.

No, Juventus couldn't be caught with 2 games left to play.

Oh of course. That's fair enough but it i'snt a run away league winner.

 

[Kenai]

Not run away but winning by 2 games and they still sacked the manager, such is the level of expectation of their performance in that league

 

[Snax]

Felix on the bench for athletico. Doesn't bode well for swashbuckling and attacking football

Leagues mean nothing to them now, it’s champions leagues they want to win.

Same with the likes of Barca and Real. If they don’t do well enough in it for a year or two, regardless of league results, the managers walking.

 

[Shamikebab]

It's the same reason the Ronaldo transfer has been a failure for them. They bought him to win the CL, they were already winning the league.

This match is dull

This match is dull

Nothing like a double head wound to liven things up

 

[Snax]

This match is dull

I thought Leipzig have played some lovely stuff up until the final pass. They have had madrid scrambling and then played poor passes

 

[Shamikebab]

I'm enjoying it, Leipzig play some really nice football but Atletico look as dangerous as usual from the counter

 

[RobDogDog]

I'll be surprised if Upamecano doesn't end up at one of the big boys soon. He looks quality.

 

[Snax]

The commentators are obsessed with validating their pre match predictions that the match is dull.

Liepzig has played through the lines directly and rapidly and have regularly turned the athletico defence. Their final passes have been poor but they are in total control of this match.

Athletico are doing their dull thing of not really committing to attack and hoping to nick one.

All credit to liepzig

I'll be surprised if Upamecano doesn't end up at one of the big boys soon. He looks quality.

I find it funny how clubs are still being linked with Koulibaly over this fella tbh.

 

[robfosters]

I'll be surprised if Upamecano doesn't end up at one of the big boys soon. He looks quality.

He’s just signed a new long term deal, so it will cost his next team a pretty few pennies.

 

[Shamikebab]

Did it get rid of his release clause? Afaik he has a relatively low release clause. He does look class though, destined for a top club.

 

[Snax]

What is this nonsense about it not hitting the quality of last night? PSG were woeful yesterday until the final 2 mins and Atalanta were pretty frail.

Football commentary is the worst. There is no analysis just a whole load of drivel

 

[Shamikebab]

Leipzig have lacked that decision making in the final third but other than that have been really impressive. Perhaps understandable given they're missing their best player.

They’re not missing their best player though are they
