The end of the Madrid game was absolutely wild. Real get two players sent of through sheer entitled petulance and the Benfica keeper pulls out an Alisson Becker.
Bruges thrashed Marseille, then put up a congratulatory message on their scoreboard to Marseille for qualifying, only to see the heroics in Lisbon put Marseille out altogether. But had Bruges beat them by one goal fewer they would have still gone through. Just top class trolling by the Belgians.
Belgian peasantry.
Atletico would be boring as we already played them this season and a few times in recent years. Though I wouldnât mind trashing Galatasaray. Juventus would be nice and interesting because we havenât faced them in a long time, since that magical night of offside traps in Turin 21 years ago.
Only caught up via highlights. The Benfica RM game was madness. Was confused as to why the keeper went up for the free kick at 3-2, but worked out it was all about the goal difference. Very disappointed to see RM players complaining and crowding the ref at the end. Benfica did something special, let them have their moment. The goal made no difference to where you ended up.
This is the biggest night in International football for decades. It just has to be. Surely bigger than Hellas winning the Euroes !!!
Fuck me, I donât understand why the entire football world is not talking non stop about Bodø/Glimt !!!
I couldnât believe the news. This is truly the most epic event of this century in football. Nothing, absolutely nothing comes close to being as big in football as this ! Probably in sports actually !!! Any elite sport !
A true (and those are so fucking rare) miracle !
Letâs face it regarding Madrid⌠it couldnât happen to a better team.
Have to say the new format delivered again.
Oh, was there a game on tonight, @Magnus ?
Brothers in arms. Kevin and Alexis both got the MotM awards in todayâs final round of UCL group stage.

Yeah, and I watched ours and was completely and utterly blissfully unaware of the event in Madrid until 15 min after the game. Now, normally, watching Liverpool crush any team would be an epic main event, but honestly, beating Qarabag even 6-0 feels more than a bit overshadowed by this monumental event.
I am loving it
Karma has come back to bite them. It is like watching football version of the christmas pantomine
. With all those super stars like Mbappe, Bellingham, Vinicious Jr etc.
We should have won that CL final in 2023. The Blancos think they are the only ones who should to win CL every year
Weâre also in top 5, which also reiterates your point. ![]()

Oh dear. Depending on how the draw and results go, we might lose a member of TAN.
RIP @Magnus on your impending passing from euphoria.
Nah ![]()
Itâs going to be a good night anyway (I honestly donât think we are good enough to actually win the comp myself) ! Either we win and go deep, which would be blessed since we are such a lame duck in the league (although we play for UCL and Europa spots), or we become part of a fairy tale so far out and bizarre. Both positives; kind of.
In any case, this is the most premature of all premature doom-posts, mate. Glimt would have to beat Internationale or Real Madrid home and away. That sounds about as realistic as beating Atletico Madrid (who never lose at home) away and sooner or later probabillity is going to catch up.
Oh I just meant Bodo/Glimt dumping Real Madrid out, which only depends on them beating Benfica?
?
Bodø/Glimt will face Real Madrid or Inter Milan in the Play Off. That is of course an incredibly difficult round (would be honestly even for a much stronger team).
We shall see now on Friday who it will be ![]()
