(+) Yeah! (+)

Zubimendi ice cold penno

I was hoping for that Basque final in front of an actual crowd unlike what they got a couple of years ago where they moved it a year to do so and still weren't allowed to. Oh well.

Quite a result

Yanited didn't get two minutes to celebrate going through to the next round before they found out they drew Liverpool lmao.

They are so clearly setting up so Klopp's last game in England is against Pep.

All these Liverpool kids out of nowhere is quite the story.

well half their first team is out injured so

Well yeah, it's just impressive it's not holding them back more so far.

Forest you fucking jackasses you clear the fucking ball! Don't try to fucking play it out in the last 30 seconds...

masterclass stoppage time

Glad I didn't waste my time watching the inevitable liverpool luckboxing.

Whatever. They are not sustainable.

Lets go UTV

told myself I wouldn't watch the forest liverpool highlights coz I didn't want to infuriate myself, and I did it anyway

imagine not clearing that ball at the end and trying to play it out like they did. IMAGINE. I hope Forest get FFP'd into administration and have to dissolve their club for that, fucking HORROR SHOW

(Turned in 15 minutes late to the Manchester Derby)

"Hopefully I didn't miss anyt...FUCK!"

And then later...

Holy mother of fucking god Haaland, how the fuck did you manage to miss an open goal from 10 feet away!

Thank you Phil Foden, for your endless energy and movement!

Haaland gets a gift of a goal to clinch it.

Doubt I should even watch the City/Yanited highlights. Already ruined my mental health enough on the Forest/Pool match

stadiums are empty, everywhere we go

I didn't watch any of the game today, but imagine it Arsenal fans, all you need is a City/Pool draw and you basically control your own destiny for the title.

City win gives us the same thing.

Yes, I suppose that's true too!

Arteta being honest in his presser about how many points needed to win the league. "We might have to win every game"

He did come down from that and say anything less than 90 and it'd be tough. I think 92 is what gets us there. We can afford a draw as long as it's at City.

I can see us drawing at Old Trafford too, we never win there. But we can really only afford the one draw I think.

<turns on the Bayern/Lazio game because it's 2-1 on aggregate>

<the stream kicks in just after Kane scores his second>

<turns the stream off>

Both big boys advancing today.

Some massive league fixtures at the weekend. There's the big one obviously but I just clocked that Spurs and Villa play at Villa Park which... if Villa win, I don't see Spuds coming back from that deficit. Let's hope we get a good ebening

I considered what FCKs best chances of a result today are (yes, I know they are like 0.00001%). City might go easy initially but if FCK plays well they can just start playing more intense. I think FCKs best chances are keeping it at 0-0 until after 80 minutes and then score and hope City gets a bit scared by the clock. They lost occasionally like this a couple of years but now that they actually have a CL trophy it might be different. Still think something like that is the best chance. That or City gets some stupid cards lol.

City are 100% going to have an eye on Liverpool. That's why it was such a massive result for them to be up by two coming home. They can kind of just coast. If you guys were to get an early goal, I think it'd be the best bet. Because it's really hard to switch from coasting to "Oh shit we have to get another goal"

The other thing they may do is just try to blow you away in the first 45 so they can rest and rotate for the second half. If you can keep it 0-0 for a long time, you may be right that you can throw the kitchen sink at them late.

zzzzzzzz friendship with PL ended all my homies care about Europa now

Hopefully you and Brighton don't bottle it and hurt our co-efficient

although Wet Spam losing and costing us that 5th CL spot would be hysterical coz it would cost Sp*rs most likely so...

They are showing a Danish interview with Haaland (who answers in Norweigan) answering how he trailed at FCK in 2016 but they didn't want him.

Wonder how that would have went.

Danish pundits list of things to go right to get points

- Goalkeeper needs to bring A game
- Defense line a couple of meters outside of the penalty area
- Keep room between defense and midfield small
- Get out of (ocassionally) the pressure City comes with whenever the lose the ball
- High physical game knowing they have Liverpool in four days
- Some luck

Rio Ferdinand told a Danish reporter that he will walk around the stadium in a FCK shirt if the miracle happens

They have chosen option 2, and that's with the B team out there.

He did not.

FCK literally has as much of a B-team on the field there as City.

Goalkeeper one is true though.

Only half watching and they did mention injuries for Copenhagen. They're not a team I'd have much idea of the regular starting lineup for, so hard for me to judge.

Yeah, I mean there are 5-6 starters on there, a couple that could be.

Also OMG

It wasn't even from a big mistake like last time. It's nice to make some statements about deserving to have gotten this far.

That was a bit unfortunate but not underserved.

Ederson almost gave us another one.

I was REALLY hoping Leipzig could pull it out against Real but not enough individual brilliance.

Madrid is the most clutch team in CL, I never thought they wouldn't win. But they have been a bit shaky lately.

Also very good year for FCK, hopefully they can fully focus on the Superliga now to get a good chance at more CL next year. While we were eliminated the moment we were drawn against City, a lot of people said the same about the group stage. I think we are already way better than last year, Scandinavia's best team for sure. Very good performance and we weren't even lucky with draws.

Now I just need Norweigan and Israeli teams to go out soon and the top 15 spot should be secured almost exclusively thanks to FCK.

The amount of money they should've gotten for advancing from their group will be a difference maker for them as long as they invest it wisely.

Yup, alone getting into the tournament is a very solid plus for leagues like ours.

lmao Brighton

(Let's see if this comes back to bite me in 90) minutes)

Okay Molde getting that late winner might have killed the top 15 chances. Need a lot of luck now.

lmao us

Second leg at home though

That's not too bad. Brighton is basically out.

Saw that Liverpool lost Konate to injury.

Yikes, bad luck chums (get 'em City.)

Another year off my life due to stress, thanks for that today Arsenal.

Massive game here for Villa

a win really puts them in the driver seat for 4th

really need that champions league spot after it was reported they lost like 130M or something last year.

var are terrorists

holy shit how is var so consistent at getting calls wrong
