UEFA Champions League (Part 1)

They’ve been doing that for over a year now.
Copying the Lucho one is new though.

Half expecting them to sing YNWA at full time.

The usual help Real gets from the refs was also missing. It might be Arsenal’s year finally? PSG and Barca looked strong candidates but they don’t seem unstoppable.

Would love Inter to somehow win it but looks very difficult.

Not sure if this has already been discussed, but does anyone know what the rules are in regard to Madrid being allowed to close their roof at their stadium (it was closed tonight). It appears to theoretically give them an unfair advantage as the acoustics are enhanced with their home support, although admittedly it didn’t seem to help them much tonight!

Not really. Yes , they outplayed us over two legs. But those are two bad matches for us when we had a downturn in form and PSG had fresher players and were cruising in the farmers league. I’d say the best teams in the CL so far are Barcelona, Us , Arsenal and Inter. We had a nearly perfect group stage and PSG crawled their way into the knockouts.

We still managed to get it down to the penalties even then that means that PSG for all their flair find it tough to breakdown good defences. Arsenal are defensively better than us and PSG will find it tough to break them.

Arsenal should win this competition just based on their defence being better than everyone elses.
All teams that have gone through to semi have conceeded a lot of goals in the 2 ties as their defences arent great.

Barcelona winning would mean that they’ve equalled our record.

Best case scenario is Inter followed by PSG.

It really is just rather unpalatable a final 4 isn’t it?

I think my personal preference would be Inter > Barcelona > Arsenal > PSG.

Can’t stand sport-washing, can’t stand the inevitable wanking over Arsenal (but would prefer that to human rights abusing sportwashers.

Inter over Barcelona for the reasons you had though.

Fair points.
Worst case scenario is Arsenal joining Man City with one less European Cup than Forest :rofl:

I don’t really get all the Arsenal hate but I guess I am a different generation and I don’t read social media which no doubt drives it…

My lifelong love for LFC doesn’t mean I have to resent any success our rivals enjoy.

Their manager is a passionate guy who can wind people up but we had one like that.

I am with @maria in hoping they win it now.

Anyone but Arsenal for me. I’ve come to thoroughly dislike that club since Arteta has been there. For me he took the very worst of Guardiola’s gamesmanship and stuck boosters on it. This season’s set piece shenanigans showed them for what they really are ; very talented cheats.
