Caption being checked by VAR: UEFA Leagues and Cups 2025-6

the ref in the spurs villareal game is giving himself a problem having booked 18 players in five first half minutes

is ch lge games on a thurs gonna be a regular thing going frwd or just this week?

Two incredible games today, neither of which involved Tottenham.

Eight goals in the second half of Juve-Dortmund.

Newcastle seem unable to sustain the madness with which they start these by games.

LOL Rashford, of course.

Haha. Rashford, Elanga, all good players if they'd only been given a chance at a big club before now.

I love how they're now giving more coverage to women's football, but it was still a shock to see man utd winning in europe, just for a moment before i realised "oh not that man utd"

Old Marcus is running riot.

Damn, he’s back.

Just needed an audience

Lennart Karl - 17 y/o proper regen wunderkind just scored a beaut against us.

just such a lazy fucking team, shameless lack of effort or interest in the basics

I know a season is not defined by a November performance, and lol Arsenal I know, but this Arsenal team are a different class tonight. Bayern have looked indestructible this season and we’ve made them look like chumps.

Declan Rice is honestly looking like the best midfielder in the world right now. He is everywhere, winning balls, chasing people down, dictating play, playing killer balls and of course, being a set piece specialist. I don’t know if we’ve had this good an all round midfielder since Vieira.

Slot out.

Liverpool 1 - 4 PSV

!

Seems crazy that Spurs were leading twice against PSG and still let in 5.

does it tho

having dodged the Maccabi Tel Aviv bullet, we now have seats at VP being ripped out and thrown around by uh Young Boys fans

this better not spoil my enjoyment of watching the Wolves in the flesh on Sunday

I feel somewhat for the Young Boys players, who did not sign up for literally any aspect of any of this and visibly just want to go home

ah no the fella off the bench didn't get the memo, but was also offside. No party for the inexplicable Swiss Violence Automatons

having dodged the Maccabi Tel Aviv bullet, we now have seats at VP being ripped out and thrown around by uh Young Boys fans

Talking of which...

Maccabi Tel Aviv 0 Lyon 6

carrying on from the pl thread...

sadly i think these games don't really tell you a lot. imo the bigger euro sides like real, and tonight inter, have some sort of institutional inability to disrespect another venerable big side, so they won't just rip into liverpool like prem teams have been doing all season. it's like the game must be sort of cosplayed as a serious and tight affair. i guess the format of the cl doesn't boost the urgency much either in this regard.

i'll fucking take it tho

Keown should be in a cage, not getting to commentate a second Arsenal game in four days

Do Aston Villa have an unsustainable reliance on lightly-caressed daisy-cutters, trundling low, low, inexorably to the right of the opposition goalkeeper's despairing dive?

huge "concentrating on the League" energy from City

You’re breaking my heart

Only tuned in for the half time whistle to go but Inter’s kit is HORRIBLE

Fuck it, abolish the Champions League, let EPL teams play each other in a new league - perhaps call it the English Premier League - and let everyone else enjoy themselves.

Trying to enjoy Benfica's win even tho it's Mourinho

Cracking 1st half between Monaco and PSG

Galatasaray 5 Juventus 2!

well, igor tudor had a good run.

Feel like you should be handing someone a resignation notice at the same time when you sub off your novice keeper 16 minutes in.

The good news is that they’ve managed to limit Atleti to four shots on target so far this half.

yeah not sure destroying a young player's confidence is the ideal move when the entire team is teetering on the edge

Just tuning in...whst was the idea there?

I thought that Osimhen disallowed goal shouldve stood. Maybe he thought Ibou had enough embarrassment for one day.

it absolutely should. by letter of the (bizarre) law the liverpool one should have stood as well apparently. it's a strange state of affairs, some terrible performances, could have lost by more, definitely still in the tie and may well win but the bigger picture is this team hasn't a hope of winning the cl.

Bayern look ludicrously good, even without Kane. At least Spurs aren’t alone in being embarrassed today.

Soft penalty for Arsenal. At least, this ref isnt having their corner shenanigans.

Fede Valverde had scored once in three years in the CL until today. City seem to have fallen apart.

third goal was a beaut

Got to love it.

Never mind that though, come on ye Superlaget!

Bodø/Glimt continuing to do well! (yes I had to c&p that)

EPL teams shipping goals left right and centre. Good to see.

Coefficient is going to take a battering.

The Glimt three up from the first leg.

Playing your second string keeper and losing 5-2 away from home when they have a nightmare seems to be very fashionable at the moment.

Could potentially see Glimt getting a result over two legs against either Leverkusen or Arsenal too.

City glass jaw always a thing. Bodo another thing that people keep trying to understand but mostly failing. What are they smoking up there?

Bodo Glimt might have met their match.

Sporting have had 31 shots so far and still ten minutes to go.

Into extra time. I cant see Bodo getting a result out of this one.

Rosenior gotta be unhappy to managing in such a vintage season for the Worst Manager of The Year award

club world cup champions in action tonight I see

Bodo spanked, maybe pundits in Scotland can stop banging on about them constantly now.

Eze scored a beaut, absolutely spanking it from outside the box, on the half volley

Newcastle joining in on the ‘being 5-2 down’ act.

Ramsdale is so crap

lol, go for double figures, lads.

This is great.

All this talk about Prem teams being too strong for the rest of the CL goes to show how useless of a barometer this new CL setup with its pile of largely pointless games in the league setup is

corners, eh?

Beautiful passed corner.

Hockey style the ball can't go above the waist maybe should be the rule.

Slot has managed a 5-0 half there, bet all the Reddit morons are blaming him for this being level

it's galatasaray. people are blaming him for the team playing shit for half the season.

don't fuck it up don't fuck it up don't fuck it up

lol it's mad how i've been feeling the exact same. no faith this season.

it's nice seeing them happy at least for a change.

there's no better EPL team to watch than Liverpool in this mood

The opposition have just wilted tbf. PSG will roast us alive.

It'll be an awesome tie and not so easy to call imo

i mean it's a big statement performance for sure.

teams hoping to win the conference league next year will have taken note.

We can get into the CL next year by winning the CL this year, it's been established now

Seems straightforward, we should just do that.

👍

Cracking game between Real and Bayern

Watched that second half, was fantastic fun. Bayern extremely unruthless with their many 4-on-2s in the box mind

Slot out

so toothless. the subs made us worse. formation fairly mad. before the subs it felt like we might sneak away only losing 1-0 but a very good second goal.

i like ekitike but he was absolutely dire this evening.

If we don't win the second leg then he's fucked. And we are very unlikely to win the second leg. Could easily lose it by a few goals. Grim.

PSG must be kicking themselves they didn't get 4 or 5 though.

definitely. i don't expect us to win really but score the first goal at anfield and it would get very uncomfortable for them.

Igor Tudor is available

would be unfair given spurs may need him again before the season is out.

The other day I actually saw a Celtic podcaster seriously discussing Igor Tudor as the next Celtic manager.
