It's unbelievable how often the refs dcrewed up yesterday. Video help can't come soon enough.
Bayern showed that they're sore losers yesterday. I was pissed at first because I despise Real even more, bur after that gong show, I'm very happy Bayern crashed out.

Wow, that sounds like the whole game was a fiasco. After the Barca/PSG debacle UEFA really needs to sort this out.
We need robot refs.

Mbappé is simply an unreal talent. Rarely ever do you see an 18-year-old who already looks that "polished", if you know what I mean. Not just raw talent and upside, he's already top-class. Scary to think what he can achieve if developed properly.
I'd be very happy with either of Monaco, Juventus and Atletico as winners this year, for various reasons. Just REALLY hope someone knocks out Real in the semis, but other than that, I really have no preference this year.

Juve's defending is amazing. Buffon has made one save.

From an entertainment pov I'm hoping Juve are knocked out in the semis.
Any of the other three in the finals.
Not that I dislike or think they have been lucky. Purely from an entertainment viewpoint.

JUVENTUS! FINO ALLA FINE!
That really was a defensive masterclass from Juve.
Over the two legs Barcelona had over 65% possession, but Juve held them to 0 goals and only 5 shots on target.
Even more remarkable when you consider Barca had scored 21 goals in their other 4 champions league home games this year.
At least one team I cheer for can hold on to a 3 goal lead.

No wonder he had a poor game. He thought he was at a break dancing competition.

I don't know, I definitely have a preference for Monaco to win both because they are easily the most enjoyable of the final four teams, but also because they are likely to get gutted this summer, unlike the other teams who figure to mostly return intact or even better.

well, given that he's a huge Ronaldo fan, he first has to spend 6 years at Old Trafford.

He's going to Madrid, beyond playing with Ronaldo he also gets to play for Zidane so it's gonna be tough to say no. Wherever he ends up, France have to be the favorites for the next two tournaments with how stacked they are up front.

Makes no sense to go to Madrid right now, he's not a guaranteed starter
Unless they move one of the BBC this summer
All he has not to do is look at how it's not gone for James since he made the move
I think it would be a mistake, unless maybe the plan is to cr7 up top full time, he's been in the box more and more recently, and have mbappe on the left with bale on the right. Bye bye Benzema...
If he goes this summer Chelsea make the most sense, since it sounds like costa won't stay and in their front 3 only hazard has a spot locked down, and even he might move this summer

I hate saying this, but I think Aguero is on his way out from City this summer, and Pep buys Mbappe as the replacement.
4 years at City, then to Spain.

I can definitely see that, but I thought their plan anyway was a front 3 of Sane/Jesus/Sterling
would have to see Sterling most likely sold then, cause the first two arent going anywhere

yeah I don't see Mbappe coming to Madrid just yet, but I also don't think it's going to be 4 years until he does. His sale price could be insane at that point, it's already rumoured at 85 million pounds.

United up 1-0 over Anderlecht. Unfortunately, Rojo stretchered off after colliding with Bailly.
Center Back crisis now. Rojo, Smalling, Jones all hurt.
Bailly, & Blind the only real CB's. I suppose there's Fosu-Mensah, and Carrick?

I'd rather see Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Axel Tuanzebe get chances instead of Carrick at CB.
EDIT: oh my.

How about three of the four ties going to extra time?
