Real Madrid remind us of us during Ronaldos return season. Playing like shit and getting away with it. That run will run out
Works against shitty team, Union Berlin asked for it and did litteraly nothing. Will see how it goes against Napoli for exemple (even if they're in a bad shape, but Real's group is a joke).

They're not a good team.

These Bellingham goals in extra time are getting real old...
The other 95th minute goal he scored was the keeper chucking it into his path 2 yards out and today was that hilarious pin ball. The guy is great but these are some hilariously lucky goals.

Lumped more money on Madrid at 9/1 just 30 seconds before the Jude goal. When you watch Madrid weekly, you know just how regular this ridiculous Madrid luck is :lol:
Same, good call by both. Just going to lose long shot +1,5 goals

Get in! Great result for us. 3rd ranked team dropping points at home to the 4th. Basically if either of these 2 want to finish on 10 points now, they'll have to beat United twice given that Bayern will sweep against the bottom 2.

Jude you beauty.
In all fairness, he didn't perform great tonight and got very lucky, another Real's player could have scored the same way. He's a great player though but tonight was pure luck.

It worked just fine two seasons ago against the cream of the crop in europe.

He was okay, could have had two assists if Joselu knew how to score. Then again it seemed like one of those games where the ball just didn’t want to go in. It wasn’t like a Union masterclass in defending. Just the final finish missing from our end. Created plenty of chances.

Can’t wait for Vini to return.

Don’t think they’re playing shit, or at least they’re not winning games undeservingly, they need Rodrygo to get find goal scoring form though

They're not shit or undeserved winners but they have been, for a couple of years, rather uninteresting to watch. Every man and their dog knows the late winner is coming but its just not very fun to watch imo.

Salzburg with 2 pens and Benfica with one player sent off. Yep, no portuguese refs to save you this time. All correct decisions.

Typical Peter Bosz performance. Let's try to outplay Arsenal away from home.

At least DDG spread the fun over the season, Onana hasn't had a great start :nervous:

you must be kidding, right? It took Arteta 4 years and millions of dollars to get where Arsenal is now.
And where do you expect Man United to be in 8 months ? Do you see anything that makes you believe we are on the right track ? Lets face it - we have played awful football for 15 months - but last year we got results, now we play awful football and get torn to shreds by every team we play.

I am not extremely familiar with Man Utd squad, but first year top 4 finish and a league up is miles better than Arteta's first year with Arsenal.

We kind of already knew this about Onana - he's erratic and error-prone but good with his feet and capable of producing great games. It reminds me of Antony. He is playing pretty much how he was before United signed him.

If City win the CL and the rest of the English teams don't get past the QF, would England still get 5 places next year?

If Liverpool were in it it would be pretty guaranteed, but Spain and Italy's teams I think are capable of collectively having a better tournament than United, Newcaste and Arsenal.

Salzburg most likley getting three points against Benfica. Schlager made some pretty good saves too. Benfica really tried to level.
