Even Leicester beat Porto in the CL. It's the easiest draw imaginable and then a team below you in the Prem for the chance to play in the final.

I will be quite happy if PSG get knocked out in the next round. Another failure of a year for the Frenchies. :P


What is that supposed to mean?
Yeah, we lost 1-0 in England and won 5-0 at home while you were playing with your backups because you were already qualified.
All of this in 2016

I totally understand why all of the teams wanted Porto, i'm smart enough to understand why.

Still, we are the most sucessful team in Europe outside of the teams where the big money is (England, Italy, Germany, Spain + PSG) in the last 30 years. And that is something ;)

Liverpool at Anfield should be the dream for anyone. But if we somehow ends up playing at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, we're everyone's biggest nightmare :lol:

Although I wanted Madrid, PSG or Dortmund for the entertainment factor.

Was all over Porto with Leverkusen last year when they knocked them out of Europa

No disrespect intended but even you must realise Chelsea will be seen as failures if they don't eliminate you.

btw - we won the group :D At least let a Leicester fan have his moment in the past. after all you are in the CL and we're sitting at home now.

Seems like a good time for PSG to get revenge.

The Chaaaampiiioooooonnnsssss. I want to watch both games today but my computer can only handle 1 stream lol. CBS sucks for only streaming the games and not putting at least 1 match on tv.

Ederson gets away with one there.
Seemed like a perfectly legal goal.

Horrendous performance across the board. Dreadful from both Klopp and the players he's selected tonight. I can see that being the last time we see Keita in a Liverpool shirt, it's long past time to cut our losses with him. Selecting Wijnaldum ahead of Thiago in a game with this much on the line should've been an omen before a ball was even kicked tonight.

I'm at a loss. If anything Ederson fouled him. Joke of a decision. The fact that Bellingham got booked as well, and that the ref blew the whistle before the ball went over the line... farcical.

I'm sick of these goalkeepers thinking they're Ronaldinho with their feet, though.

City, Pep and UCL.
It doesn't work.

Poor performance.

Pretty well deserved win for Madrid. Liverpool looked poor and were never really threatening.

Yeah, gutless performance. Last season I'd still maintain some faith with the Anfield effect, but this year it's looking as good as over. A performance full of dreadful individual performances. Trent doing nothing to silence the critics regarding his defensive work, Gini lifeless as ever and Mane's slump continuing even further.

Not good.

Do you really think so?

CL is finished, they need to concentrate on top 4 in the prem now.

Fantastic player but I lost all respect for him after the weekend where he fell to the ground a lot without being touched. called for cards for players and basically acted like a little cry baby after the match.

With no fans at Anfield I can't see them getting back into it. But if anyone can then they can.
