Rangers down 2-0. Possibly the worst I’ve ever seen them and absolutely bizarre game management from their manager.

Against a club that played second division in Belgium last year, lost their best players and aren't playing at their own stadium because it's not equipped for European football...

Looks like they are going to go out again this year. After last years debacle against Malmo Rangers are trying to out do that result

Don’t think he got the shape right tonight. Looked pretty toothless particularly as the game wore on. Penalty decision might be the worst I’ve ever seen, but either way a few players still looking a little rusty after the break.

Rangers are at Ibrox with that atmosphere are a different animal and I expect them to turn this tie around.

Any early guesses for who's going to win it? I don't think Madrid will retain it. One of City or Liverpool seems like a good bet, or possibly Bayern.

I actually think PSG will finally take it this year.

I don't see it with them right now. Maybe they reach the semi-finals.
I love the coaching change, I love the formation change, I love the signings, and I love the way the front 3 have looked and even Sarabia as the back up to those front 3.

Could see United go far if EtH gets the best out of De Jong.

I have psg as favorites for the time being(I'm assuming their new midfield acquisition is going to be a success).

It also hinges on Ramos staying fit and not having declined too much so they could play whatever they did in supercup.

Not funny :(

Unfortunately I think Pool win it this year - and maybe the double. Hated typing that.
Eh, they'll lose in the finals, I think they're good but they have trouble finishing on the biggest stage. May change this year in CL. Obviously they were amazing in 2019.

Surprised we’ve never been linked to Tavernier. Seems good every time I watch him.

Said this before, the guy is great goal threat and runs up and down that wing all game. Great free kicks aswell.

Psv had the weekend off to be optimally rested. I suppose they used it to party all night? They look knackered.
