The European Football thread!

Even when you're being bank rolled by a whole country and have most of the cards stacked in your favour.

Huh? Look at who they were playing against, a side for whom debt and overdrafts mean nothing. How Real aren't in perpetual FFP trouble is a mystery to all but UEFA top brass.

Anyway, it is good to keep that record. Hoping BvB win it this year.

Still not sure it disproves SKY'S claim that the Premier League is the best. I'd suggest it certainly has better depth than the others. No way to prove it though.

Not certain why everyone is shitting on City but ignoring the fact that Madrid have had an enormous financial advantage over teh other Spanish sides for decades.

Not shitting on City, a great side built at great expense - just happy that they're not quite good enough to do what we did and retain the European Cup.

For all the sad Man City fans

I think the 115 charges, them being in our league/country and not being able to match our back to back wins are a factor.

Poor old Man City. Ha ha ha...

Aston Vila losing 2-0 to Lille at the moment for the Conference League, which means that there will be no British teams in two out of the three European competitions. Which may be three out of three competitions by the end of the night, since Liverpool and West Ham will most likely be eliminated in the Europa League.

And if it stays like that, England‘s coefficient will fall behind that of Germany, and therefore the Germans will get an additional fifth „Champions“ League place.

Well, you may have to wait until the 2025-2026 season, when Forest will improve England's coefficient.

No teams from the best league in the world, surely a mistake?

Vila managed a goal minutes before the final whistle. It will go on overtime as it stands.

After one of the most ridiculous mistakes of a keeper at this level.

Not so good without the ref and var helping them out each week!

He still has to finish, and that is indeed a fine finish.

how are you feeling about today bro

 

[benj360]

Very frustrating (although I’m pleased for Matty) as it let Villa back into the tie at the death out of absolutely nothing. Nevertheless, Chevalier has redeemed himself somewhat with a bit of a worldie of a save from an almost point-blank header into an almost open goal. Les Dogues fight on!

 

[benj360]

Lille-Villa to be decided on penalties

 

[Strummer]

Stade Pierre Mauroy looks to be rocking, though!

 

[Strummer]

And in the other ties, early goals for Wet Sham (against Leverkusen, who are probably still hung over) and the scousers.

 

[Farmer Jack]

Lol @ Martinez. :wanker:

Edit: The ref has overturned the decision FFS!

 

[benj360]

The referee shows Martinez a second yellow in the shoot-out… then doesn’t!

 

[weejockmcplop]

haha what idiocy is this?
