Is the roma game only over 1 leg? Looks like they will lose as 0-2 right now. Serves them right for messing Smalling around.

If I were a Man United fan, I’d be properly afraid of Sevilla.

They are in great form and this is their competition.

Don Ever Banega will want to end his Sevilla career on a high (he’s leaving to Saudi Arabia after this tournament is over).

Italian sides have had no break.
Because of the break? I mean Spanish teams had good break whereas Serie A was over just few days back?
It's been a big talking point here in Italy, whether the break would be better or coming in with match rhythm. So far the answer seems to be: the break
The thing is it's not rare for Getafe to dominate the first 20 or 30 minutes even against big teams. So yesterday I just thought it was one more game like that.
Yeah but i was more impressed by how much fitter they looked in the second half. Inter players just looked slower and more lethargic throughout. Been the same today
Why did Banega never get a move to a bigger club? Feel like every time I see him play (which is not often admittedly) he looks class. Controlled the game today.
Because he's a nutcase. Back when he was establishing himself in Europe the guy broke his foot by trying to stop his moving car(he's forgotten the handbrake!) at a gas station

He did move to Inter later but it didn't work out. Seems to be one of those players who struggle with too much pressure

They don't have nearly enough attacking threat to trouble United imo. And i don't think they can deal with the pace and quality of their forwards either. United have had a weird season but they're a seriously good side

Haha, I'd heard about that handbrake incident. Fair enough if it's a mental thing. Ability wise he seems to have it in abundance. Enjoy watching him play.

If its a Man United v Sevilla semi final it will be the final in all but name IMO.
I think so too. Other sides might look stronger on paper, but Sevilla is carving itself a niche in this competition, much like Real Madrid in the Champions League; they're just really good at it.

He wouldn't have made any difference. Sevilla were just at it more on the day. The semis will be very interesting.

Roma really need to look into selling Lopez. No excuse for that first goal.

I don't think that penalty gets given if that's a defender making that challenge... Rightly or wrongly

Olympiakos have been incredibly shit so far. Looks like half of them have never played football before.

I’d be quite nervous for a final vs Inter. We’d certainly need to be on top of our game to win that

Karen Carney does realise she doesn't have to always talk. Keownesque.

I find the group hug with the Wolves staff after every goal so contrived, was spontaneous and looked real emotion at first but now they do it in every game.

Ruben Neves is a great little player isn’t he, wouldn’t mind him at United..
