Don’t count Juve out

Uh-oh. Down a man with 5 mins to go.

1 more match for a trophy and Champions League. So much at stake.

Would have been fun to face Juve in the final. Should be a great match in Hungary.

There is a Serie A team in the final of Champions League, Europa League and Europa Conference League.

Feels like the old days of the early 90's again for Serie A

4-0 first leg, 4-0 second leg, 1-1 ET, PKs to make the final in the League One promotion playoffs.

Bill Connelly@ESPN_BillC

So to summarize, Sheffield Wednesday lost the first playoff leg to Peterborough 4-0, tied everything at 4-4 on the last kick of regulation, completely ran out of gas and gave up a set piece goal, then tied it all over again. Now penalties. Everyone’s legs are gone.

And then they won 5-3 on PKs to go to Wembley.

@titusbramble what in the blue blazes is a peterborough doing????

Choking is what they were doing

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Jose has to be crazy to even be considering PSG, right? He's finally back at a place where the fans and the media love him. Parking the bus to reach a European final? That's like giving those fans a free Three Tenors concert.

Nice to see Spinazolla

Hope Spinazolla can recover for the final. What a gut punch it would be after his injury in the Euros and missing that final for Italy after playing such great football in the group games.

Third season incoming, when Mr. Hyde typically makes his appearance.

 

[AAABatteries]

Casemiro with a fantastic goal - wow.

That was filthy

 

[AAABatteries]

Would be an epic collapse now if either United don’t take the one point needed. Congrats @McBokonon !!

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Rog in the 99th minute

Bayern’s 11th straight title flying out the window.

The question still remains whether Dortmund will walk through the door Bayern continues to hold open for them.

True. They have a nasty habit of tripping over the front mat whenever Bayern does this.

Both true enough.

Don't really know how to live in a world where Napoli can win a Scudetto without Maradona.

Nice little rotation of winners the last few years too...

2022-23 Napoli
2021-22 AC Milan
2020-21 Inter Milan
2019-20 Juventus

[Desert_Power]

Barcelona playing 4D chess by having a really bad loss to Real Valladolid, which heightens the chances that local rivals Espanyol along with with Getafe go down.

 

[B Maverick]

Casemiro!!!!

 

[B Maverick]

Antony off injured. Didn't look bad but had to get carried off.

Rashford on

 

[B Maverick]

Unselfish Sancho to Martial for the tap in. 2-0 at the half.

Chelsea has had their chances but bad touches and poor shots are dooming them so far.

 

[B Maverick]

4-1, United into 3rd and the CL

 

[AAABatteries]

Chelsea are garbage. United still has a long way to go to compete for the trophies they want. Will be interesting to see how much turnover ETH is able to do before next season.

True.

Sadly the Glazers are notorious for paying up to get into CL but then not backing the manager after they qualify. Did it to Jose, Ole and we'll see if they do it to ETH.
Hopefully the sale goes through.

 

[bigbottom]

I will not be able to sleep between now and Wednesday.

 

[Mjolnirs]

Final day of the Bundesliga. I have Bayern v Köln on the tv, and Dortmund v Mainz on the laptop.

Need a Bayern win and a Dortmund loss or draw.

 

[McBokonon]

Dortmund need to match or best Bayern’s result to win the league. Naturally, Bayern has an early 1-0 lead and Dortmund have fallen behind to Mainz.

 

[McBokonon]

Penalty to Dortmund. Haller does that stupid run up, stop, then weak kick and it gets promptly saved.

 

[Mjolnirs]

0-0 in both, Dortmund champs.
Bayern go up 1-0, even on points, Bayern champs.
Dortmund down 1-0, Bayern champs.
Dortmund now down 2-0

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

This is all very on brand for Dortmund.
