I like the idea of Pool being hard done.If Sevilla wins it, 'pool will feel hard done with the non-call handballs.
Or perhaps they all just realized they were starting Alberto Moreno.Liverpool look shocked. Like they can't understand why Sevilla didn't lie down, or why they didn't play in the second half like they did in the first.
Pretty sure Geordie has a shrine for Rafa Benitez in his home now.The True Geordie with some tough love for Gator.
He would continue this evening's beverage theme ...First leg hero Tom Beere in as a substitute. C'mon lightning strike twice.
But what about on a cold rainy night in Stoke?Game halted due to power outage affecting stadium lights
ETA: this wouldn't happen in Basel
I've already forgotten the Newcastle debacle.The agony of defeat. See you guys in a few weeks. :(
Yeah, but can Celta Vigo beat Norwich? That's what's really important.Three years straight of Spanish double European champions.
5 out of the last 10 to Sevilla. 8 of 13 for Spain as a whole. Sevilla has only won one SuperCup though.Three years straight of Spanish double European champions.
Here's the closest things I can find.Has any other league done this even two years in a row?Three years straight of Spanish double European champions.
The European Cup became the Champions League in 1992.
The Cup Winners Cup went away after 1999.
The UEFA Cup became Europa Leage after 2011.

Roma have to play in the preliminary playoff... Which could be Man City(for the 3rd straight year), but not sure which Spanish team it could potentially be...would it be the 4th place team?I was looking at the pots for next season's CL draw and I think that Spurs are kinda screwed. Since the three top Spanish teams cannot be in the same group, nor can Spurs be in the same group as City, Arsenal, or LC.
Pot 1: (Atlético or Real), Barça, Bayern, Juve, Benfica, PSG, (CSKA or Rostov), LC
Pot 2: (Atlético or Real), Sevilla, Dortmund, Leverkusen, Porto, Napoli, Arsenal, City
Pot 3: Villarreal, Basel, Donetsk, Dynamo Kiev, Lyon, Ajax, PSV, Spurs
Pot 4: A bunch of possibilities
So, I think that Spurs have a pretty good chance to land a tough Pot 1 team (only the Russian team is mediocre, as Benfica gave a good run to Bayern last year), plus a 50% chance to land a very tough Pot 2 opponent. Either of Real or Atleti is not a good draw, nor Dortmund or Napoli. Can't draw Arsenal or City. Tough to be a Pot 3 team, although Atlético was a Pot 3 team this season.
Spanish teams certainly benefit from the not being in the same Group as another Spanish team.
The reverse is also true though. Any group that lands Spurs is going to feel very unlucky since they are arguably the best from Pot 3. Spurs could very easily determine a group of death.I was looking at the pots for next season's CL draw and I think that Spurs are kinda screwed.

Not nearly as much fun as having Newcastle relegated.Watching Frankfurt v Nuremberg. If the Prem did it like this it would've been Newcastle v Brighton to stay up/be promoted. Which might have been fun.
