The buzz in St. James' Park is palpable, even through the TV screen. Night and day between that and OT.

Feels like watching a club come to life at this level on one hand and the dying embers of a once-elite club on the other.
Came here to say something similar. Even when we're starved of CL football the prawn sandwich eaters barely ever make their presence felt.

Yikes, that Milan kit. It’s like watching City play when they had those weird tropical two tone fade ones a few years back.

Joelinton is just clueless. Was just about to be booked in 30 secs for a shocking tackle.

Whoever designed that AC Milan shirt they are wearing tonight needs to be shot.
It’s horrible. It’s a kit you wouldn’t associate with a club like AC Milan. I always think of the classy white/black/gold with Milan away kits not this garish mess. Looks more like City or Barcelona’s kind of thing.

Sule's save might genuinely be the single most absurd defensive play ever

Crazy recovery tackle by Tomori. That was a certain goal.

How were there two amazing clearances at basically the same time in two different matches!?

How has Pulisic been in Milan?

I’m watching this game and he seems as timid and uninvolved as ever.

That defensive high line from Dortmund is suicidal.
Reminds me of the UCL game between Bayern and PSG where Bayern were hammering PSG but were playing so high that Mbappe had feast with through balls

I don’t think Donarumma’s hair has long on this mortal earth.

So in 25 minutes PSG missed 2 open goals, 2 one-on-one vs the gk, hit the post and forced BvB into at least 2 last ditch clearances

For all the talk about them not being good they've actually fairly dominated this group - they're just going through the most incredible sequence of futile finishing/crazy defensive plays in recent memory :lol:

Dortmund - PSG is great, entertaining and pathetic at the same time

Awful defending by Milan*. First stood off Gordon and then allowed Joelinton all the time in the world to steady himself and pick his spot.

*A typo
