Wonder if we can hurt Atletico, but I doubt it. Especially as Gimenez is still suspended. Such a shite big team to play as well. Would much rather be mowed off the pitch by a team like Bayern or Cit.... I mean Barca than lose 2-0 to a cynical Simeone masterclass.

Oh well.

 

[WeePat]

Napoli vs Real Madrid tonight.

Newcastle vs PSG tomorrow.

Gutted the Napoli game is on same time as us. Would have been a decent watch. Defo watching the Newcastle game tomoz over the city one.

 

[DJ_21]

Salzburg must have one of the youngest teams in the tournament. Their oldest players 27 which is their keeper then they’ve got a few 19/20 year olds out.

Didn't Hertha play one season in the CL in the 00s?

99-00, last match on the day the tweet says. They lost that game 0-1 to Porto. Made it out of the first group stage, but finished last in the second group stage.

 

[V.O.]

Salzburg's manager look scary. Some kind of mix between Jaap Stam and Ralph Fiennes.

Right, helps if you read Tweets to the last letter.

 

[Hakara]

Great support from the Union fans, even though I know many were annoyed that they would be playing at Olympiastadion.

 

[V.O.]

Hell of a goal from Mendez.

 

[Santos J]

Great goal for Union Berlin

 

[Santos J]

Braga's defence is all over the shop

 

[Paula]

Great Support in Berlin. One of the best i have seen for sime time in a CL group stage

 

[stefan92]

So Union is using the CL to end it's crisis?

 

[Posh Red]

Bruma has just scored an absolutely incredible goal.

 

[Santos J]

Wow

So harsh for Union, losing from 2-0 up

 

[awop]

1-0 up. Jayzouss after a horrible back pass from the Lens defender

 

[Bale Bale Bale]

Turned the Napoli game on and within 20 seconds Kepa costs Madrid a goal.

 

[That_Bloke]

Napoli 1-0 up thanks to Kepa. Incredible atmosphere at the Maradona Stadium.

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

wish Ancelotti would stop using Camavinga at full back, feels like a lazy solution to getting all the midfielders on the pitch

 

[GatoLoco]

Napoli 1-0 up thanks to Kepa. Incredible atmosphere at the Maradona Stadium.

Bellingham recovers the ball and assists Vinicius who finishes very well.

1-1

Perez neglected the team, Ancelotti is just doing what he can in the situation he is in.

 

[WeePat]

Bellingham can’t stop scoring. What a goal.

 

[GatoLoco]

Bellingham in cheat mode.

Cannot believe my eyes.

 

[awop]

And Saka is down after 30mn. Excellent handling of his health once again. Running him into the ground in an easy win at the weekend to then finish him 3 days later.

 

[WeePat]

Bellingham in cheat mode.

Cannot believe my eyes.

This guy and Vini in the same team is actually not fair.

 

[That_Bloke]

Deserves the number 5, that Bellingham lad.

 

[do.ob]

Did Zaha intend that finish?

 

[GatoLoco]

This guy and Vini in the same team is actually not fair.

If they can develop good communication between the two it can become a weapon of mass destruction

 

[ThierryHenry14]

And Saka is down after 30mn. Excellent handling of his health once again. Running him into the ground in an easy win at the weekend to then finish him 3 days later.

Arteta is doing what Wenger did to Wilshere to Saka now.

 

[Morty_]

If Kane was here, offense would be about perfect.

I used to say last year that Arteta is gonna run the lad into the ground, if he isn’t careful. It’s crazy that a year later he is still refusing to rotate him even a little bit, even when he’s carrying little niggly injuries.

 

[WeePat]

If they can develop good communication between the two it can become a weapon of mass destruction

They’re such elite individualistic players, but yeah if they develop a good connection, it’ll be such an explosive partnership.

 

[Vernon Philander]

Good tackle by Dalot there last ditch. Don’t suppose he’ll get praise for it

 

[WeePat]

Kepa is such a damn downgrade. Ugh.

Bellingham brilliant.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Psv a bit ehh so far. Really a must win game this, if they want to advance to the ko stage.
