    BIG difference in experience levels there, between Ajax and Barca. Barca's choke was the more impressive/hilarious/improbable out of the 2. I really was pulling for Ajax. But they did this in the 1st leg, too. Got a goal early and then just allowed Spurs to dominate the play from there on.

    What an amazing semifinal round. I don't know if we've ever seen anything like that...for both sides of the bracket to go down like that. You also have to love the visual of 2 EPL sides playing the final in Madrid after the run that Spanish teams have had in the CL.

    Lucas Morey ah Moura. Still in awe of those results. EPL wins. Pep is biting himself in the arse.

    I've been out of the loop of European football lately, especially first time dealing with the time diffrence.

    Was rooting for Ajax but I'm happy to see some more Belgian players in the final.
    Now it's time for the Belgian teams to show that we can also use our young and home grown players and be in an elite level.

    Didn't even notice that Lucas scored 3 goals until now.

    It's time to check if there is any possibility for me to be in Madrid for the finals.

    My CHELSEA!
    What a day to be alive and season to reflect past. From all the ups and downs this past season. Kepa delivers. Hazard still a GOAT.


    Manchester City - About to win the EPL, and are in the FA Cup Final
    Liverpool - Are In the CL Final
    Tottenham - Are In the CL Final
    Arsenal - Are In the EL Final
    Chelsea - Are In the EL Final

    Manchester United - ...Dropping points to huddersfield.

    I think you should ask those couples with a Spurs wife and a LFC hubby.....well the reverse is not that common.

    LFC because it represents a return to glory. Spurs aren't very successful.

    Still a failure of a season for City as long as they keep choking in the CL.

    Pep was brought in to win the CL. They had been winning the league even before him.

    I think everyone knew city was gonna get the hardware. lfc won't win the pl in the foreseeable future.

    however if lfc loses to the spurs, will it be worse than the hardens being eliminated by the currys in game 6?

    LFC is unbeaten at Anfield but the Final takes place in Madrid, at Wanda's.

    yeah but which will hurt more? rox fans seeing the the hardens lose with piss poor play and no urgency nor heart? or lfc guaranteed giving their maximum effort but coming up short because kane/son/lucas going ham?

    at least with lfc, we won't have to sit thru watching their superstars go thru the motion pulling a tinman (not the breh, rather the character).

    That might have been the case when he went to Bayern. Since failing there, you had to believe that he was winning Champions Leagues mainly because of Messi. City might have believed that he would bring them Messi. Looks like they'll have to settle for Neymar.

    Still, he deserves credit for dominating the Premier League these past couple of seasons and putting together a ridiculous team.
