GWT: Champions League R16 Second Legs & QF Draw

[Wee Baby Seamus]

As I said from the beginning, in order to give the receiving team (2nd leg) the advantage they deserve.

But is that advantage not already there by virtue of being on the home field for the deciding game? We don't say that a Game 7 at home in the NHL doesn't constitute an advantage because there's no away goals rule? A two-leg tie is obviously structured differently than a 7-game series, but going home for the return leg ALREADY constitutes an advantage because you're at home in the decisive fixture.

 

[Evilo]

Absolutely, and this is a second advantage.

Liverpool are not actually far from the favorites. No teams in Europe convince me, and all top clubs have quite large flaws. So why not?

 

[Savant]

I personally love the theory that Klopp is tanking the PL so he doesn’t have Europa League next season.

I don't think we're going to win it but I think we're going to be better in it than we are in the PL. I think a lot of it is mental at this point and they desperately need a clean slate.

Not being at Anfield is also just about the best thing that could happen to us in that second leg.

I also wouldn't be floored if they dropped a stinker on Wednesday and went out, so I guess we'll see.

Lewa is on a torrid pace at the moment, if they got matched up with Bayern in one of these remaining games I would not be surprised if he would score four in one match alone against Liverpool.

Bayern have massive defensive flaws though, so Salah or Mane could do the same to Bayern if he hits form.

 

[John Price]

mckennie not starting

 

[Halladay]

Porto should have scored already.

 

[Juve]

I am starting to think Twilight is a better love story than Juvenuts in Champions League.

 

[Power Man]

Juve in big trouble

 

[gary69]

Not that I don't mind Juventus trailing, but that seemed a weird penalty to give. Porto player went in front of Demiral on purpose looking for contact, there was nothing more Demiral could have done to avoid colliding with him.

Huh? This is easy to answer. He could have simply not attacked the ball... he got trapped on a foul. This is quite common.

 

[gary69]

Juve should have had penalty after Pepe kneeing Morata on thigh.

Can't see Sevilla scoring four now to progress, even if that have played better than Dortmund.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Given that we're gonna spend the next decade talking about Mbappe and Haaland, I pose the question now:

Whose 20-year old season is better? Mbappe's 2018-19 or Haaland's 2020-21? (Not asking who is better now).

 

[Savi]

Well they don't need four

 

[Power Man]

Juventus playing like they are the ones with the lead

I don´t watch PSG enough to say (and didn't), but imagine Haaland with the support you got at PSG....

 

[hatterson]

Didn't see it live, but catching the half time and it looks like that pen that Porto got was pure trash.

 

[Juve]

It doesn't matter whether the penalty was legit or not. This is what they deserve for signing shit players for free on high wages not properly signing proper midfield players and hiring a coach who couldn't even coach in FM!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Power Man]

instead of giving is HT analysis, DAZN shows some NFL player trying to play soccer

FFS

 

[gary69]

Yes, I could have seen them scoring three to progress, but not scoring four to progress

 

[Evilo]

Mbappe brings much more than Haaland. 33 non penalty goals in 29 L1 games, 6 assists, dribbling, 4+4 in 8 CL games.
Not a knock on Haaland, he's such a rare talent. But he's a 9, in the box all the time and brings nothing but goals (but boy does he bring that).

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Pay anything you need to get him Laporta, pay anything.
