Despite the away goal lead, Dortmund will need to score more to go through, I think. You get the sense that City will score tonight.

Would like to see that Salah chance again it really seemed like he should've scored.

Well, there it goes. You have to think Dortmund are cooked now.

Haaland basically had no influence, in the end.

The no striker policy by Pep feels strange when you have Aguero and Jesus at your disposal.

Problem is that Jesus isn't that good and Aguerro is going through a bad patch/tailing off. They need to buy a striker.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

It looks like the Super League is coming. I think it´s time to completely abandon this bull business for the super rich.

You all know my dislike for PSG but now I'd happily UEFA throw Manchester, Chelsea and Real out of the competition and award this year's title to PSG.

If they want to go, don't give them the choice of when. Throw them out now and let them organise their own league as soon as possible.

UEFA has approved the new CL reforms for 2024. It´s a Super League light in the making.

It's pathetic. Less pointless European games are needed not more.

That would be great. and then give them points deductions in their leagues and throw them out of the cups. Brentford get the league cup, Leicester the FA Cup :lol:

Just give PSG the cup so they can officially join the League. All doors should be closed for these teams for any european or national cup competition for the future. There should also be no schedule changes allowed for these teams if games overlap with SL games.

I´m sure americans are fine with that. The people who actually fill the stadiums in Liverpool and London and rocking the pubs around the city for the last 30 years are probably not. I hope it will have dire consequences for former working class clubs like Liverpool.

Even in Denmark the conclussion are clear. Whetever it's danish Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, United, Arsenal or Spurs fans - everyone is against this. And even as big a fan we might be or feel, it can't be compared to those living in the city. FSG out.
