UEFA Champions League (Part 2)

That’s clever by Barca as they can’t register them anyhow

Yet the super bowl HT performances are wildly successful.

Peeps need to move with the times. Perhaps Van Basten should ask, if he was part of the target audience for this or not…

I guess it depends for a lot of people, young or old.

I loved Dua Lipa (+ 2Cellos) in Kiev, without knowing who she is at the time.

This year I agree it was shit.

Why? Was it the choice of music, the performance or a failing of the soundsystem?

Who was lead singer for Linkin Park on the night?

That woman is their new lead singer and I think she’s doing fantastic. Seems to be accepted throughout their fan base.

The match between Malmo and Copenhagen is apparently the shortest Champions League away trip ever. I guess that makes sense, with the domestic opponent exclusions it would take a late knockout round match-up to better

No one will ever best this one:

Edit: The Guardian covered this a few years ago. There are a couple of others mentioned.

Our shortest ever away game was when we played TNS in Wrexham in the 2005/06 Champions League which is 41km away. Actually still on Merseyrail.

3-0 against the Czech team Viktoria Plzeň. Rangers FC should not, as we say in Germany, ‘let anyone take the butter off their bread’.

Incidentally, today also saw the first legs of the third qualifying round of the Europa League and Conference League. Shelbourne FC caused an upset when they beat HNK Rijeka 2-1 away. There was also a surprise in the Conference League, as Icelandic club Víkingur beat Brøndby IF 3-0.

Wrexham is not on the Merseyrail system. It terminates at Chester..

I didn’t realise that. I still remember it from pre-privatisation where the timetables were published in English and Welsh.

3-0 to the break. What a dominant half in such an important game !

I am witnessing something very special. Something historic. This game is, very special. I don’t know what to say. It’s so close to 6-0 now (still 5 as of now though) :exploding_head:

In a counting Play Off to the Champions League !!! :scream:

It’s really the spectacular fairy tale of old. Like a national romantic fairy tale from 1880.

I thought they were in it last year?

Anyhow the fixture draw is next Thursday at 5pm, not much point watching it mind. Though I’ve realised why they’ve done this now and not bigger group splits.

So they can have a pointless draw lasting 3 hours instead of what 2 groups of 10 or 9 would last.

No, that was the Europa League. They have had to go through qualifying games due to our lower coeficency. Now its far better than it was previously though.Regarding money, this is a massive step up and it is purely self made with no rich uncles.
