The only reason I am agreeing with all you above is because I LOVE PKs and WANTED THIS TO GO TO PKS!!!!

Oh and I screamed Porto before they gave up the last goal, but away goals rule....

 

[NewlyRetired]

it always looks stupid to the eye but had Juventus used that technique of having a defender lay down behind the wall to block low shots...................

Penalties suck, C'mon man.

Pirlo is way too cool to put one of his players in that position.

I know all you guys hate them, but I love a good penalty shootout.

VERY ANGRY AT ATLETICO RIGHT NOW

 

[B Maverick]

Why does every announcer comment on the added time being a "minimum of" yet everyone is upset when it goes over?

 

[The Z Machine]

VERY ANGRY AT ATLETICO RIGHT NOW

See, all it took was for me to get angry.  2-1 now for Atleti after a Suárez penalty.

HOLD ON THIS TIME, OK??????

3 necessary points.

Atleti is 6 points clear of Barça, 8 above Real through 26 played for all.  Just hope that Messi gets pouty and Barça falls to pieces again.

 

[Desert_Power]

Lenglet again

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Lenglet again

It was a very weak call

 

[B Maverick]

What did they call?  Caught part of the replay but all I saw was a weak pass to the keeper.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Messi just blasted that goal in

 

[CGRdrJoe]

What did they call?  Caught part of the replay but all I saw was a weak pass to the keeper.

An inadvertent stud caught a heal with no contact, this should be a penalty based on the keeper elbow there if they are staying consistent. 

 

[B Maverick]

Getting a little chippy now.... and EPL ref Anthony Taylor is the man with the whistle.  This game will be poorly called.

Thanks.  Consistency is what you want?  HAHAHA

And with no consistency between calls

NAVAS!!!

Champions League Legend!!!

 

[Desert_Power]

NAVAS!!!

Champions League Legend!!!

Massive. They said 8 saves in the first half? 

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Massive. They said 8 saves in the first half? 

Yeah, a few that were really testy. He’s man of the match by far right now 

 

[B Maverick]

Navas has 3 CL winner medals?  Should have kept him over Courtois 

 

[Desert_Power]

Yeah, a few that were really testy. He’s man of the match by far right now 

Dembele should have gotten more power on a couple of them, but yeah. Need  to put those chances away when you need 5 goals  

 

[B Maverick]

Wow, Ronaldo and Messi are out in the Arsenal Round.

Porto, Dortmund, PSG, and Liverpool are all in the quarters.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

You’re referring to the *Lexus Stoppage Time* - just a PSA. 

 

[B Maverick]

Poor defending by United's CDMs and a great shot by Milan for a goal, but chalked off for a handball?

I didn't see any reason to call it back.

 

[AAABatteries]

I'm not sure I could have missed from where Maguire did. 

 

[B Maverick]

So United have had VAR bring back 1 goal against for offside, 1 for handball, and 1 since the ball went out in the buildup....

I can hear the jokes now.

although the offside was blatantly obvious and an other inditment on the stupidity of how the ref call it.  2-3 years off and allowed to run half a field and score before the flag goes up.

 

[B Maverick]

It takes skill to hit the post for half a yard away

Should be 1-1 right now multiple TV channels in Europe showing some great views. Hit his thigh never the hand

From the views I saw wasnt clear and obvious either way so no reason to call it back.

And next year, if that falls to someone else to score it would have been allowed on the rule changes.

 

[DJackson10]

I like ya McTominey but thats a YC right there and a sending off 

 

[DJackson10]

Oh Dam commentary here just threw shade at Ronaldo for ducking a FK as McTomminey took it right in the face 

 

[B Maverick]

 

[DJackson10]

Kjaer!!!!!! My Power went out for 5 mins and just went back on for that 

 

[DJackson10]

Was ready to say that even if we lost and didn't score an away goal if we get our reinforcements back I felt really confident. Milan dominated most of this match, unlucky on the "handball" call, poor defending by Calabria on the ManU goal though. Henderson should've saved that though

 

[AAABatteries]

Henderson should have saved it but not sure I care - the side is boring.  Which is fine if you get results with boring. Milan deserved at least a point.

Agree with you both.

Henderson probably should have, and James and McGuire both should have scored. But not surprising to give away the goal on a corner at the death.

Probably more. As the match went on I kept thinking if we get even 2 of these guys out back we got a great chance at home next Thursday 

 

[DJackson10]

Really not surprised to get one. Not sure how much you've watched of Milan but this is becoming common for Milan to score late on Corners. Theo right before the Christmas break scored a goal of the Corner. Another match earlier in the year same. We had a few over the summer to finish off last campaign. 1 1/2 yrs ago I'd have said 1-0 ManU well congrats on the next round but ever since Ibra came back the team doesn't quit and really believes in Pioli. I love that guy because he reminds me of Simone with so much passion 

 

[DJackson10]

The girl on Paramount+ is such a homer for Man United and isn't even hiding it!!!! The other analysis are really laying it in on her too on the post show

Haven't watched much aside from the occasional Zlatan highlight.

Next week in Milan, Zlatan and Rashford back for the decider.

Who is she?  I am at work and keep it on mute so I turned it off when the game ended.  

 

[El Floppo]

What a goal by Lamela... Thought he toe poked it- didn't see the rabona until the replays.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Still a soft, diving, luxury player -- but holy #### what a goal.

 

[El Floppo]

Pretty fun game so far.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Lamela subbed on, scores GOTY contender, pick up yellow, picks up 2nd yellow.  ACTION

Twitter full of righteous joy to the 2nd yellow being the result of an opponent's dive.

Better angles here, just so @CletiusMaximus can enjoy it up close.

I’ll allow that one.

soft?

Diving and luxury - I get.  Fragile, maybe.  But pretty much the opposite of soft.

I've said before my favorite goals are the ones I've never seen before and that one will stand forever.  "Nutmeg rabona curler with pace through three players just inside the post" doesn't come up a lot.

That was the part that surprised me. I really thought he toe-poked it.
