I loved every second of this game.
Made me think of the Germany Brazil game at the World Cup.

One of the greatest CL performances ever for sure.

Wont matter, though, if they do not win it all.

Exactly.

The season for Bayern or Man City or PSG is only a success if they win the CL title. Otherwise it's failure.

Nope straight through his legs. Tough break for City.

Pep is such a choker in UCL.

The starting lineup was terrible today.

holy guacamole. As much as I hate City, Lyon just had all of the luck today.
Between the almost offside and the almost foul on their second goal, then Sterling not finishing the sitter....wow. just wow

Wow
Only german vs. french teams in the semi-finals this year.

Greetings to the two best soccer leagues in Europe: You're now on vacation.

Pep is a one trick pony fraud...Klopp is far superior...not even close.

I've seen people already saying how poor the Prem is after last night's result. Wasn't it only last season that 4 out of 4 finalists in the 2 european competitions were from England?

This season has been turned into a joke and that goes for european competitions too. It's suddenly a knockout without fans and teams are playing twice a week.

If anything these results have shown that French teams have benefited by having several months off with their league suspended. The French league really is second rate and I couldn't see more than 2 or 3 French teams managing to survive relegation if they played in the Prem.

The German league is clearly the 3rd best league in Europe though.

Bayern must be favourites for the title now.

I dont think its much of an advantage that they didn‘t play tbh. PSG looked really, really rusty.

City just choked against Lyon. Thats all.

French League is alright. Nice, Rennes, OL, Monaco, Marseille. Not Premier League level but those are decent teams talent-wise
If those teams played in the Prem they would surely avoid relegation. Playing in the Prem would mean more money for them as well which could go into reinforcements.

The defense is what f'd up City's whole season

Who will win it?
