The ref will end up sending someone off the way he's managing this game.

Why is Neymar wearing full length tights? It’s madrid not Moscow

HELLO
Watching this reminded me of our 1-1 draw in 2013, how many promising youngsters we had and how well they played, only DDG really fulfilled his potential.

Liverpool have to take advantage of Porto's dodgy keeper on setpieces (not that Karius is much better)

This ref is predictable; he will give warnings and cards at the beginning of the game then will let many similar challenges go later on in the game.

Who's that Otavio lad up top for Porto? Looks a bit good so far and I've never heard of him.

You just have to admire how Madrid and PSG are loaded with ball players. Guys who are supremely confident and capable of holding on to the ball, right from the defence. I cringe when United players are unable to hold on to the ball for 40 seconds and we are always quick to hoof the ball. We need some real ball players especially in defence and midfield.

Or just wait for him to pass them the ball. I count three already.

And this last one resulted in a goal. Terrible keeper, FFS. With Casillas on the bench...

Marcelo is such a joy to watch. Genuinely the best left back I’ve ever seen. Also, it’s a little unnerving watching how comfortable these players are under pressure compared to us:rolleyes:

Didn't think having a worse goalkeeper than Liverpool was possible...

Indeed mate. And Casillas was very good in the games against Sporting.
