Great defensive performance by A Madrid just a pity they defended so poorly on the goal. Have they enough in the tank for extra time? I doubt it.
Terrible defensive performance relying on Liverpool's poor finishing to save them. Getting destroyed by a guy that a shite Ashley Young had in his pocket before. United are a better defensive side than them by a distance. When you sacrifice all attack to defend then you shouldn't concede that many chances.

I don't even know for what. Squared up with Neymar, pushed him away a bit. Straight red. Usually that's a yellow card, as it wasn't a punch.
Should be a yellow. Anthony Taylor (the ref) is always like this, will make questionable decisions that favour the home team over and over again. He does that in United games at homes too. If the croud or bench shouts, that's the decision made for him.

My nerves can't fecking take another 30 minutes of this. Simeone must do something, they've been horrific for the last 20 minutes or so, absolutely shapeless.
Last 20? More like the entire 90. They've offered absolutely nothing all match. Hoping for a smash and grab but the can't even keep the ball for longer than 5 passes.

PSG probably out in the quarters anyway but I really wanted Dortmund to beat them

You know what. Oblak is probably the best goal Keeper in the world. This guy does not drop any ball and parries are fantastic as well as his reflexes.

Liverpool's style of play is incredible :lol:

He's free on the edge of the box to either shoot or play a through ball but he delays then passes to TAA to whip the ball in. That's literally all they do. Cross after cross after cross

Damn, good fight from Dortmund. No shame in losing to PSG by just one goal, PSG looked much more disciplined with Neymar, Di Maria and Mbappe all tracking back. You could see how much it mattered to them at the final whistle.

Hopefully Dortmund can push for the title now.

There's only one United!
Two hours of wasted time only for the competition to be stopped next week or two.

The only time ATM looked worse was when Bayern made them a genuine handball team for 60-70mins a few years ago. No way I could watch them if they didn't play other big games.
