Anyway, away goals are kind of a weird rule if you think about it.

Starts next week. I just wanted to make the thread to put that link somewhere that wasn't the group stage thread.

I think it's fine. But it should be removed if the tie goes to extra time.

Id like Ajax or Barca,


Van Dijk has to be in running for player of the year right? Although not really sure ive ever seen a defender win that.



Also, the more i think about it, its getting super difficult to argue that Ronaldo isnt the best player ever, seeing him drag teams to wins again and again...hes just too loving good.

How will Barca handle Luke Shaw is a question they have to find an answer to, if they want to play in the semis.

Hes tilted as gently caress now and will do everything to overcompensate at the weekend and will either draw or lose, then the same will happen at Utd.

I already said I thought the ball hit llorente's hip, I have no problem with the actual decisions of VAR, I just meant the specific circumstance of banging in what you think is an injury time winner in a crucial match and celebrating accordingly and then having it overturned is bullshit

Again, enjoy the schadenfreude but when it happens to your team its gonna suck as equally

That makes no sense though... Its not an injury time winner if the goal shouldn't stand.
