2021-22 UEFA Champions League Qualifying & Group Stage part 1

Moldova are also one of, if not the poorest country in Europe, I'm sure them getting a boatload of CL money will fall into the right hands

Dunno if anyone else watches Bald and Bankrupt on YouTube, but his videos give you a good idea of what Moldova and Transnistria are like

Poor country with a huge corruption problem, but the people seem like genuinely kind, salt of the earth kind of people.

Thought their result against Red Star was a fluke, but evidently not.

Moldovans are really fun people, half Latin from the Romanian side, half Slavic from the Russian one. And their women are probably some of the most beautiful in Europe.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Benfica playing PSV in this is kind of a travesty if you look at the teams in some of the other matchups.

5000 in malmö attendence , sounds like 100 000 , hope you are watching this savi

Transnistria may be little more than a pyramid scheme, but the club belongs to the man on the top.

No but I'll definitely check the highlights

I'm watching Benfica-PSV which has been a good game so far, PSV really taking it to Benfica in the second half

 

[Savi]

Benfica wins 2-1 but were terrible in the second half. PSV for all the possession they had should have created more. I thought Sangare was impressive, Gakpo had a very good game too. Madueke didn't have much of an impact today.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

I'd expect PSV to edge the second leg at home. Neither Zahavi nor Madueke were very good today, though Zahavi was barely offside on the goal he took well in the first half.

Gakpo was great and the Benfica keeper made a few nice saves.

 

[Eye of Ra]

sory could not resist, might be one of the craziest goal ever

 

[Evilo]

Haha, about Barca, I always remember this double save by Coupet, including the first with his head and the second on Rivaldo.

 

[Savi]

Benfica down to 10 men against PSV after 30 minutes, they'll put up a wall for sure now, still have that one goal lead from the first leg.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Turning into a PSV choke job.

 

[Mitch nylander]

Yikes that looked like a clear foul in the box by Malmo. Would love to see Malmo move on, but that's some awful officiating.

Swedish football just died

Swedish football just died

Malmö made the CL before no?

 

[Prntscrn]

Malmö made the CL before no?

Yes and it made sure they would be heavy favorites every single year for a long time, now they're not only gonna be heavy favorites they're going to win every single year. They are now the Bayern Munich/PSG of Sweden.

If it were another team it could have been good for Swedish football

 

[Eye of Ra]

Malmö made the CL before no?

yep 2 times

 

[Savi]

yep 2 times

And since then 3 other teams have also won the league besides Malmö. So I don't think they broke Swedish football just yet

 

[Eye of Ra]

tbh we are not really cl-level. no swedish team is. we have had some luck with the draws in the qulification. we are gonna get smashed. we have to play with 5 defenders and 2 defensive midfelders to not get totally smocked.

 

[robertmac43]

Darn Benfica for winning. I wanted Nunez, doubt it happens with him playing in the CL.

 

[ecemleafs]

The rangers have had a covid outbreak and are now traveling to armenia without Gerrard and like 6 or so players.

its scary how much sesko reminds me of hååland...

 

[Evilo]

Monaco with a great first 20 minutes at Donetsk.
1-0 up and hopefully soon 2.

 

[cgf]

Adeyemi & Sesko are going to be fun to watch together in the group stages.

 

[cgf]

its scary how much sesko reminds me of hååland...

He's not as freakishly fast as Haaland. But he has a lot of Hlozek to him.
