Qarabag already 2-0 up and bossing it. Wadji having a great half so far.

gently caress FCZ, really didn't deserve to only lose 3-2 but Qarabag aren't that good either I guess. Bonehead penalty in the last 10 minutes to give them a chance. Earlier when FCZ scored from a free kick, Qarabag scored from the kick off which was nice

That was so shite. Looked like he shat it about Barisic and tried to accommodate him rather than making the call for Yilmaz. Kamara looks disinterested, Colak was left crossing balls into the space Colak is meant to be in.

Need Kent and Morelos back sharpish.

Earlier in the match Haifa had a penalty saved and then scored a 30 yarder a minute later, thanks to the goalkeeper making an arse of it.

The last time two Scottish teams were in the CL, Celtic got to the last 16, beating Milan along the way, while Rangers got to a European final.

I'd take the former but I don't know if I can live with the stress of the latter after last year.

I think the complaint was that when Celtic fans visited, they got a new shopping centre.

Not being much of a soccer Fan, but after binging football manager and looking at UCL Group stage teams: Only two teams from France, is ligue 1 that lovely or is it just bad luck?

Neither, although they could have had 3 teams in, they get 2 guaranteed to the group stage and one team that could have qualified through winning their preliminary round tie.

PSG and Marseille went straight to the group stage, Monaco got knocked out in the 3rd qualifying round.
