Martinez is such a don. Got to be one of the best penalty shootout GKs I've ever seen. And does a little jig to wind the crowd up.
Villa get through by the skin of their teeth.

Neverlosen streak continues. Tied with Juve now for longest streak ever without a loss.

He's incredible and absolutely adored by our fan base.
His Yellow for time wasting was ridiculous, as their keeper was doing worse and didn't get a yellow, but his reputation has Refs on edge. In saying that, his reputation for time wasting is undeserved. He's by no means the worst in the EPL and from memory, doesn't even rank in the Top 5 keepers for time wasting
His shithousery earns him hatred from other clubs, which is to be expected, but I suspect that all those other clubs would love to have him on their side.
Terrible performance by us in the first half, but fought back into it.
Ref was handing Yellows out like candy and didn't have a good game IMO
Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team

Only caught the second half but the way they just exhaust teams until they can capitalize if they can't score early this season has been insane. We could be watching the first undefeated treble.

Brunson: So what are you paid to do?

I think they are going to drop a game at some point just because of lack of focus in the league now that they have won it.
Might be in Dortmund this weekend already.

One of the craziest games I’ve witnessed, mainly because the ref was so confusing throughout the game. Booking Martinez for time wasting when he had the ball to feet during open play lol, just cause the fans were booing him. Then booking him for asking for a ball to be placed on the penalty spot.
Anyway I’m happy we are edging closer to some silverware, got a tricky tie against Olympiakos now

Marseille vs Atalanta
Bayer Leverkusen vs Roma
This Roma team under De Rossi are peaking at a great time to face this historic Leverkusen team, but I think I'd have preferred them to meet in the final.
Atalanta "should" handle Marseille, but we shall see.

slide tackle from behind with zero attempt to play the ball, and even before he slid he attempted to stop Leao with his hand. I agree that yellow would have been fine, but at the same time I don't think red is incorrect.
