Ez again. And also City in semis instead of Liverpool and Barca, amazing.

Crying at that draw! We deserve it though because we've had to face PSG, Napoli and Bayern thus far.

Spurs are going to tire them out I can't wait. I need Spurs to win the PL game for sure.

Spurs must score tonight if they wanna advance, City must score too, given the quality of the squad they have. Both teams to score at x1,47 seems like a no-brainer.

City's bench includes Jesus, Sane, De Bruyne, Stones and Kompany :lol:

Absolutely obscene depth in that squad

Bit miffed about Fernandinho's elbow and the penalty decision (lucky Hugo saved it) but we've been good so far, shame we haven't taken advantage

Good win that, still lots of work to do at the Etihad

That's football. Really unlucky for him as he hasn't been back from his last setback for long. Last time some players really stepped up in his absence, need that to happen again.

Will miss him tremendously in the top four run-in.

By the highlights of the game i think Man City was lucky to only lose 1-0.
And what a beautiful new stadium you guys have.

With VAR

ajax should have had 4 yellow cards, but the ref got his money, so it's ok lol. Otherwise pretty ez, they'd be like to score at all in both legs. And that's without our best defender and Can.

Are ajax really that rich? I mean, buying FIFA isn't cheap...

gh123 · Post #237 » by **gh123** » Wed Apr 10, 2019 8:52 pm

Embarrassing last 15 minutes by Ajax. They are 20 years younger on average and yet can't outrun us...

Post #238 » by **Baphomet** » Wed Apr 10, 2019 8:58 pm

Really poor game between United and Barca

Great game by Ajax against Juventus. We were better, but Juve had the better chances. So in the end I can live with the result. Don't think we'll have a chance in Italy tho, I saw the game against Atletico. That was very impressive.

Ah well, what's more embarrassing... With the money Juventus has invested and the quality they have on their team, their only goal was to defend and counter attack. Ajax dominated 80% of the game, they have a budget that is not even top 20 in Europe. The money invested in the squad is below 100M. That is by far the lowest amount in the quarter finals. Porto is next with 140M. Ronaldo alone is 100M.

Ajax played their 49th game this season, not counting internationals. And the last 15 minutes they still showed Juventus every corner of the pitch.

I think they did pretty well.
