man I hate this iteration of VAR so much. We're so far removed from its original purpose, it's not even funny anymore. "Clear and obvious error" my ass.

They had so many unreal chances that I got to see right in front of me and got off very poor strikes. Any kind of pace on some of their shots and the game was theirs. The poor supporters near me were going thru agony.

I was there as well! Bought my ticket on StubHub a little too early and paid over $200 CAD for an upper section beside Barca fans. Crazy atmosphere, fans were sitting in the aisles and when the Benfica fans were whistling, it was peircing my ear drums. Also, Pedri is unreal, even down to 10 he was controlling the play. Wish the team I follow Juventus had someone like that.

I asked a supporter by me what they were yelling at the Barca keeper when he kicks the ball. He said "mother####er" lol

[devo22]

still around 10 minutes to go, but the Bundesliga is going mad today.

Leverkusen - Bremen 0:1
Bayern - Bochum 2:3 (after Bayern led 2:0)
Dortmund - Augsburg 0:1
Kiel - Stuttgart 2:2

wtf

Goddamn time change, gonna force me to stay at work to watch extra time. Kind of the opposite of last week, although PSG were far more dominant last week, but Liverpool could have ended this several times but can't seem to put the ball in the net.

[White Out 403]

PSG unlucky not to be up by 2 or 3

[Senator Clay Davis]

Of course Nunez had to miss cause it wouldn't be Mr Chaos otherwise. Maybe it's finally PSG's time? Showed a lot of heart to come back after last week, Liverpool probably lucky the PL is already wrapped cause they've looked tired the past few weeks.

[devo22]

Liverpool somehow pulling this off would have been insane. xG over the two games was 5.33 to 1.98 for PSG.

[ForeverFlameFan]

Imagine getting to PKs and having Curtis Jones in your ****ing PK starting 5. Absolute instanity. Liverpool just didn’t have it in them tonight. Lucky to get there, not lucky enough to win.

Credit to PSG, they look like a solid team.

[The Big Chill]

I didn’t see much of the two legs, but the bits I saw PSG’s athleticism looked a lever higher then Liverpools. They looked the better team over two legs.

Most teams aren’t made up of 15 world class players, and Jones has been a very solid squad player. Seems like an odd call out.

[Locke]

Well that is less than ideal. Ah well. Onwards.

Madrid Derby going into 2nd OT.
Could be more penalty drama to come

[Senator Clay Davis]

Madrid Satanism really is something else, Alvarez double kicking a penalty to send Atletico out.

[Winsor_Pilates]

Arsenal will handle Real, don't worry

[Beninho]

Real use the dark arts again, what a match. Atletico still unable to exercise their demons against them. I felt exhausted just watching that, so many player looked absolutely finished by the end
