[Evilo]

Perfectly good goal by Shakthar taken away by the ref. Terrible for them but OM fans will be happy.

 

[maclean]

Quite the game in Istanbul. Sparta completely gifted Gala a second go-ahead goal, only to then immediately get a red card at the other end


aaand, theres the tying goal

 

[gary69]

Milan takes the lead over Rennes after half an hour. Loftus-Cheek with an accurate header going in via back post, cross by Florenzi.

Leao's deflected shot hit the bar earlier.

 

[luiginb]

Loftus-Cheek playing at times as second striker, interesting. Rennes are good going forward but naive defensively. Good game of football, all in all.

Brighton is a little banged up right now so it's good news we managed to get the bye to the last 16.

 

[gary69]

Loftus Cheek's second headed goal, after Mandanda saved the initial effort by Kjaer.

And like last weekend, nice combo between Theo and Leao on the left flank, and Leao scores Milan's third.

 

[luiginb]

Yeah with that defense things can get ugly for Rennes here.

 

[bluesfan94]

Ajax down 2-0 at home is wild.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Ajax scored twice late with Bodo down to 10 men. Dinamo with a surprising win at Betis despite their domestic struggles. A lot of nonsense before the game as the federation sacked Croatia U17 manager Robert Jarni (ex-Betis player) for saying in the Spanish press he is cheering for Betis

 

[Fjorden]

2-2 in Ajax- Bodø/Glimt. Two OT goals by Ajax.

Next weeks game in Bodø will be interesting. Bodø in february in norwegian winter weather is a rough place to come to for Ajax.

 

[Incubajerks]

Yeah with that defense things can get ugly for Rennes here.

Empoli is better than Rennes.

 

[Evilo]

Everybody is better than Rennes lol
Except probably the second half of Serie A.

Sparta's Ecuadorian RWB Preciado was quite good offensively before being subbed off. Not sure why he left Genk to join Sparta for this season.

Even if he scored the winner, I thought Icardi looked noticeably slower than even last year, might have gained some additional weight. He is not even that old, 31.

They basically have every player where you're like, wait what actually happened to that player?

2-2 in Ajax- Bodø/Glimt. Two OT goals by Ajax.

Next weeks game in Bodø will be interesting. Bodø in february in norwegian winter weather is a rough place to come to for Ajax.

Ajax RB Gooijer had a poor match before taken off near the end of the match.

I sort of still like Brobbey, even though he isn't anything special as a CF. But maybe he deserves another shot at a bigger league, and some midtable/lower club is willing to give him a chance in the EPL.

 

[luiginb]

Wonderful atmosphere on the Rennes stadium even though they were down 0-3 against Milan. They scored early (Bourigeaud is class) but unfortunately for them Milan equalized and it's 1-1 at the break.

 

[gary69]

Leao puts Milan level again, after Rennes scored from the spot. Leao with a good dribbling run, and with a hint of luck to keep hold of the ball before finishing.

Typical Milan goals again, both from the left flank, first one was Jovic scoring from Theo's lowish cross.

 

[Evilo]

3-2 now. If they score a 4th things could get wild.

 

[luiginb]

3-2 now. If they score a 4th things could get wild.

Absolutely lovely atmosphere, looks like a Belgrade derby haha

 

[gary69]

Freiburg with a 93rd minute equalizer against Lens, extra time looms.

 

[Evilo]

Damn Lens...

 

[luiginb]

Benfica suffered at Toulouse, with their goalie Trubin making a game winning save in the 92nd minute.

Ajax and Bodo are playing extra time.
