Champions League — Last 16, 2nd Leg

Rather sticks in my craw to be putting this up... but maybe we can exault in Barcelona's triumph 3-1 over Benfica (4-1 on aggregate)?

No. Doesn't help…

PSG 1-nil. Come on PSG, STUFF THE RS. VAR check happening how surprising! Now expect crumpling RS players in the PSG box, conning the ref for a penalty.

Can someone explain the Stuea Flag issue to me.

Oh, wait a minute...

PSG you beauties

As someone posted in the 1st leg " Seen this movie before"

Sssshhhh, fuckin ssshhhhussshhh. Close your eyes, stay calm and keep your counsel, and see how we are feeling later on tonight 👍

Could end up anything this game.

They love the big boot do the shite

That was me Ed. Seen The Shite Pt1, 2 & 3

From the BBC:

"Liverpool have been caught with a sucker punch.
Their first effort and PSG have scored a goal.
After so much good work from Liverpool, they didn't manage to capitalise."

So for clarity "so much good work" means playing for 10 minutes and having two shots versus PSG having one. It is hardly comparable with the sucker punch in the first leg when PSG had about 40 shots and Liverpool none over 90 Minutes not 10!

Can someone explain to me the significance of the Steua Flag issue.

Vitinha in midfield for PSG is a wonderful footballer.

Wtf does Arse Slot shine his head with? Windolene?

Liam - VVDs arse.

Steua won the Europen Cup in 86 when we got banned because of their actions. Classy.

They mock a tragedy and deaths they caused with that banner that we'll be presented with in a few weeks.

No shame.

More from the biased Beeb:

"IF Liverpool had SOME luck last week they've had NONE tonight."

Shots on target so far RS 1 PSG 3

There's fella on the shite bench who looks at least 100. Looks like he's been dug up.

PSG had more chances now. That was flying in.

Wish these boys in dark blue wouldn't keep missing glorious chances...

Thanks for that lads.

Warnock on 5live, no bias there then !

If PSG doesn't stop giving the ball away in their own end, they're gonna ruin our day.

Disgraceful swan dive.

SlobbyBobby doing his best Ashley Young impression there

Wazza on ht analysis with the world's most inflated head

I see Howard Webb embarrassed himself with his ridiculous breakdown of the Man Utd non-penalty on Ashley Young.

Fake news, Howard, I'm afraid. A shirt pull is a penalty and a yellow card, don't you know.

This game really does have a certain sense of inevitability about it.

It does Mike G. A penalty for Salah is odds on!

Yes Julian & Mike we know what's coming.

If they get a 98th minute goal, are they allowed to celebrate a draw like they won the World Cup ?

As night follows day

PSG are fading a bit Allen; giving the ball away. Long way to go...

PSG's MotM at the moment is the right post.

PSG done nothing second half

El Diablo ready and waiting to make his appearance.

PSG are all over the shite

DONNA RUMMA BABY

YESYYYYYYEEEESSSSSSSYESSSSSYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSS

YESYYYYYYEEEESSSSSSSYESSSSSYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSS

BUH-BYE!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha little down the Lane scruffy scabies and nits twat Jones missed 😄

Better side got through. Get in ¡!!!!!!!!!

KINGS OF EUROPE 😂😂😂😂😂

Nunez! Nunez! Nunez!

Well done Donnaruma & PSG

I’m with a bunch of Norn oirsish Arsenal fans. Fcukin limbs!
In Mallorca

PSG were in a different class over the 2 legs and it would've been a joke has the rs fluked their way through.

Bless them. PSG a really good team.

Ref had a great game. Didn't give in to their diving and whinging. And also pulled them up constantly for their little pushes fouls.

THERE IS A GOD

QUADRUPLE shit TREBLE AH SHITE . DUO DUO WE WANT A DUO AND WE WANT ONE NOW

Yessssssssssss

Get the fuck in!
The Norn Irish lads filmed me singing the koppites are gobshites song. If I can I’ll share it but my son says I’m fkucking embarassing..
Every fucking one of them! Even little baby ones!

Shots of the RS fans looking like they ate camel toes.

Couldn’t look at the score, only knew it had gone to extra time. I’ve just looked now, and…………….FUCKING GET IN!!

Even little baby ones! They're the worst ones Mark. Blue Herod.

Hate to say it…….but come on you skunk maggots!! 🦨🦨🦨🦨

The question a lot of people are asking is why was Darwin Núñez driving about in Bedfordshire?

Link

No fear when we go to the Devil's pit next month.

Oh to listen to some of them I was surrounded by tonight.

Apparently they were disgraceful and embarrassing according to the so called supporters. Fuck me they are entitled and haven't even been to Anfield and in some cases the city.

I don't care much for them, but it did make me smile in a smug way.

Its no surprise the scum lost on penalties, after all they only have one person take all their penalties to pad his stats so the others don't get a chance.

I'm sure it was nice for them to watch the actual best keeper in the world do his stuff after all gushing about Alisson last week.

Garna Guye in the away end

The shite may win the premier league on penalties, but they won’t win the champions league on penalties!!

MERCI PSG!!! And a great shot at the end high up over Anfield as the cameras panned over the crowds leaving the ground and in the distance you can see the blue light shining at our new stadium lovely! Night all!

Tuned out and back just now to see the RS are out - oh sweet joy. Now for the Barcodes to beat them on pens at the weekend, followed by Slot losing the plot as Beto scores a hatrick and the RS Whisperer The Duke Doucoure gets the 4th.

Great referee performance by all accounts tonight. PGMOL clowns take note.

Thanks PSG and Luis Enrique you've made my night. Come on Eddie your turn next you Blues loving Manager.

Liam -!fcuking Fazackerly! That ref wasnt sucked in. They wouldnt be top ten if that was normal

No doubt the RS will complain the new set up for the Champions League was to blame, as they should be playing a team of PSGs capabilities in the last 4 and not the last 16. I hear there's a petition being set up as I type.

Finally, a ref who’s not intimidated by the koppites and their cheating players. Bravo ref

Aside from the entire history of RS murders etc just the fawning BBC commentary made me want them to lose and did they deliver? Lol

Jack (22), that was embarrassing for PGMOL. I’m surprised they revealed so much, like the AVAR basically having to haul the VAR away from obsessing over Maguire’s input to even look at what De Ligt did. The AVAR was obviously surprised the VAR dismissed De Ligt’s pulling so quickly.

Then the VAR goes to the ref stating he feels the penalty award should be overturned. I don’t think they should ever say anything other than they want to discuss some points with the ref.

Webb at least admitted they should have shown much more footage of the De Ligt pulls. As it was, the ref had already made up his mind to change the decision by the time they gave him the first, really poor, view of what De Ligt did. He gave it a glance and had simply stopped looking at the screen by the time they gave him the second view.

Webb gave it a final ‘gloss’ by saying he thought the ref would not have stayed with his original decision even if he had viewed the De Ligt pulling in full, but that is not the point is it.

At least 2 penalties given at weekend where a glancing blow on one leg caused instant paralysis in the other and a whole body spasm! So much reaction to a foul is simulation how can they single out Ashley Young’s over-reaction as somehow negating being clearly held-back?

Do the same to anyone getting away from you anywhere else on the pitch and you get an automatic yellow.

Only Just saw the result after another virusy night coughing and spluttering.

They need to bottle results like this and let the chemists sell it. I feel like somebody has just given me and instant cure

Official attendance 47,000; capacity 61,000 (rounded down) so much for der best fans in der werld...unless they're working a fiddle like our attendances in the 70s...then as now - that new stand (or in their case this new lego loft extension) won't pay for its self you know.

Mike # 49. That phrase has a particular meaning in the UK at least these days...

I'm glad I've already had breakfast and taken the dog out. The BBC is winding me up with the "a tough night for Liverpool fans". Nauseating.

A nice picture of Gana Gueye sat amongst the PSG supporters is doing the rounds and the one of the PSG coach pulled up outside the Park End.

I saw that Danny, they were almost crying on the sofa.

well Sally Nugent is a scouser and is a RS

Away from the RS, Harrison Armstrong put in another excellent performance for Derby last night.

Only caught about 30 mins of the game (in between watching 'the greatest match in the history of the galaxy') but he looked a player. Derby fans very impressed.

I know Steve. They cast their Satanic spell far and wide.

Good to see him finally doing well and getting a crack Liam. I liked what I saw of Armstrong in the glimpses we got. I was a bit concerned for him when about a week after he arrived there, they sacked their manager.

Hopefully history will repeat itself and he can come back to Everton ready to be part of the first team squad. Way back when, a good friend of mine who has always supported Derby, told me how much they liked Leon Osman and wanted his loan to turn in a permanent deal. Let's hope that Armstrong continues to impress. Not just the Derby setup, but Everton, who I trust are monitoring his progress.

Apologies for not watching the U21s too much. What's happening with Dixon?

I’m reading a good book so went to bed early last night to read it with the score 1-0 to that lovely PSG team so I got up not long ago to read the inevitable score but it wasn’t what I I was expecting so “ Oh What a Beautiful Morning Oh What a Beautiful Day”.

Does anyone think they could still go to pieces and drop away completely——Obviously they are not as good as the media think they are, let’s do them at Anfield and be part of their downfall!

The air was truly BLUE last night!!!!

It's not out of the question Dave. They have 27 points to play for, Arsenal 30. It would take a gargantuan effort from the Gunners and a collapse from the cousins, but you never know in football. Stranger things have happened.

I'll try to take in Villa tonight. If Arsenal have any sense, they'll make a few changes as their match against PSV is a dead rubber. The Madrid derby looks close.

No European football tomorrow evening. I'm going to take in Bromley v Walsall in League 2. Should be a good night out and I'll probably enjoy it more!!

Danny (75), Now that you’ve put it into perspective it was just a hollow dream on my part Danny.

I hope you enjoy the game at Bromley thanks again for your support.

How many subs can be used in these European Cup games, according to The Daily Mail, or I’ve read it wrong (ten times), Liverpool used six substitutions last night!

They get an extra one if it goes into extra time Dave. So 6.

Liam (78), Thanks Liam, so even with seventeen players they could’nt score one goal!

All the P's...Plymouth and now PSG.

Obviously rooting for Pewcastle this weekend! (especially now Balding isn't playing!)

Yes Dave 79 - I read this comment on bbc sport this morning from a 'fan':

'Mr Henry, you really need to invest a little bit more on signing players to allow Arne to do substitutions properly. You can't keep relying on the same starting XI to run the challenge to become triple or even quadruple champions'

It must be hard only making 6 subs who cost in excess of £200M. Entitlement beyond words.

Danny # 72, now that we are safe - it would be nice to see Dixon get some first team minutes. That might come in the very final games like it did when JJK got the last game of a season against Norwich I think and did pretty well.

He has 2 years left on his contract so probably won't leave in summer but he really should be on loan somewhere.

This hasn't been a good season for him from a development point of view.

Totally Robert. It would be more beneficial for him to train with the first team squad and get a few cameos in, especially given our need in the full back position. The lad is rapid as well.

I just wish Everton could get into the Champions League.

Paul, when we do, you will probably predict us to lose every match! 😁😁😁

I'll probably be dead by then.

Only giving yourself two years then! 😁😁😁

1878 - the Birth
1892 - the Afterbirth

Gerry spot on

Incredible penalty miss for Carlo's boy Vinícius Júnior after Mbappe hauled down in the area!

It was horrible MK. Would like to see Athletico win this and then Carlo can head off to Brasil for a few years.

Gerry. Amen to that. That will go down in history. Shiver me timbers

And Carlo hauls off Vinícius 5 minutes before it goes to penalties. No more shockers from him!

Bizarre decision on Atletico penalty there.

Double hit, no score. Not sure I agree with VAR there.

But Real Madrid go through – just! – to meet Arsenal.

Carlo marches on!

Surely that penalty by Alvarez should have been re-taken? Bit unfair to be ruled out.

Anyway, at least Atletico Madrid know how we’ve felt down the years…….cheated by your ghastly neighbours, or rather the referees favouring the so called superior neighbour.

100% Rob

Villa comfortably through. Hard to think that they were in the Championship 2016-2018, and facing administration due to financial difficulties having failed at the first attempt to promote straight back to the Premier League.

I don't gamble, especially on football, but with Cheltenham on, I topped up the betting App I have. I got a super-boost for Real and Villa to win at 16-1. Real messed it up, because it they didn't do it in normal time.

Back to the horses and my cautious £1 each way flutters!!!

Can Atletico Madrid sue Uefa for ruling out the penalty kick by Alveraz last night? Wonder how much that has cost them in lost revenue?

Atletico would have had a real good chance of going all the way and winning the Champions League if it weren't for that disallowed penalty.

My eyes might not be what they once were but I'm still not having that Alvarez, touched that ball twice.

This is taking things a stage further imo, with regards VAR, a sickening decision, outrageous really and I can't believe there wasn't a riot inside that stadium last night.

I now have a very genuine respect for all those Athletico fans, because I might have only been watching on television but you could feel the atmosphere coming right through into my living room, and how they held it together at the end amazed me.

If this isn't taken further then football should no longer be called a sport, well not at the very top of the game anyway.

How the VAR was able to decide in 20 seconds he'd touched it twice, I'll never know.

I found it embarrassing that these superstars like Mbappe and Bellingham were jumping around holding 2 fingers up and then celebrating when it got disallowed.

I suppose it doesn't matter how you win, as long as you do.

Tony # 99, in a global entertainment industry a few teams have become so critical to the money making machine that they need to win - and so don't half get a lot of help in doing so.

It's not quite rigged (although you do wonder) but it's certainly not fair.

Various football rules changes (number of subs), technical changes (PSR) etc all reinforce this. The media which makes money off the back of it all helps to validate it all.

Comments like "the striker just has to be stronger in that situation - not a penalty" for the underdog - and "you just can't make contact in the box like that - penalty " for the favourite. I can even hear Ray Houghton say these words as I'm typing...

And the use of VAR and refereeing reinforces it. Personally I find La Liga refereeing almost breathtakingly biased in favour of Real and Barca.

I think it's exactly the same in this country, Robert, although I don't watch any Spanish football, mate.

I remember being a child and watching a ‘world in action' type show, where the great Brazilian footballer Socrates (he was to me when I was 12 – the chain smoking genius!) alluded to the game being very corrupt, and this was 43 years ago.

Liverpool went out, they mustn't have wanted Real Madrid, to go out as well, although Socrates was scathing of FIFA because he thought they gave Brazil a much easier passage, because there was thousands of Brazilians spending money in Spain, so they wanted to keep them there longer.

Remember the Brazilian Ronaldo playing in the World Cup final in France despite being unwell because they reckoned Nike paid that much sponsorship money, they demanded it?

You know me, Robert, I'm a bit cynical towards this very money obsessed world. But I honestly think if Liverpool get to the Champions League Final, those black market tickets go through the roof, and a lot of Uefa officials can get their hands on those very expensive tickets before they have even been sold.

The Liverpool v Tottenham game being even too expensive for a lot of drug dealers, was the shout going around as prices on the black market hit £10,000. But going back to last night's game, if that was Everton gleefully accepting that penalty being disallowed (except anyone but Liverpool!) once the dust had settled, I genuinely would have been disgusted.

The BBC dropped one at 6am this morning saying Villa had joined Arsenal and Liverpool in the last 8. It wasn't repeated on later sports bulletins!

My Chelsea supporting cousin was telling me earlier that Chelsea were struggling to sell tickets at £65 for tonight's match against Copenhagen, so have reduced them to £35.

Way back when the RS were at home to Ajax, they were annihilated by Cryuff and his boys.

A caller to local radio station belted out "When it's spring again, I'll bring to you 5 goals from Amsterdam!"
