Champions League Round of 16 (14th Feb - 15th Mar)

Is their "butcher" supposed to be Uli fecking Hoeneß? Pretty weird way to try and claim the moral high ground.

Yeah especially considering we still have Qatar airways as a sponsor despite heavy protests by the fans for years.

I really dont know what point theyre trying to make.

 

[adexkola]

No they are in abysmal form since the WC unfortunately. Theyve been quite good before, i dont know what happened.

We are fielding our most in form team.

Nope. The other players are in better form.

Cheers

Delay for traffic jams is embarrassing

I used to live near there, all it takes is for one car to break down and it's a jam for miles around

A journey that usually takes 10 mins can be 60 mins the next day!

It's actually quite logical when you think it through. Hoeneß is a butcher and in love with Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia is an enemy of Qatar. It's basically two oil clubs of opposing regimes clashing with each other.

It looks like him. They are on the same (metaphorical) arm as PSG, too, and as far as I know Hoeneß was and is all for it.

Think there's some protests and strikes going on actually

 

[Morty_]

Don't know why so many are sure Bayern will win, they are not as good as in years past, and nearly collapsed against PSG when Mbappe came on, now they have to deal with him for 90 minutes.

I think you're mixing up your gulf states. Bayern are in team Qatar.

Oh that would really screw it up!!

 

[Zehner]

They actually are in both teams now that I looked it up. Definitely remembered a few test games and Rummenigge's watch in Saudi Arabia context

 

[Gottabekiddingme]

65% of online bets are placed on PSG. Crazy

The watches Rummenigge was smuggling were gifts from Qatari friends.

 

[bosnian_red]

Hakimi still starting. Sus.

 

[Fetshu]

So bizarre seeing someone else in the goal for Bayern besides Neuer. For some odd reason, the fact that it's Sommer, makes it even more bizarre.

 

[AbusementPark]

Hakimi still starting. Sus.

Was just about to post about the same thing, shows that the Champions League is worth more than his off field issues.

 

[Murder on Zidane's Floor]

Thought Liverpool were on tonight?!

Bayern look up for this.

 

[adexkola]

PSG's outfit reminds me of mid-noughties Milan with the Opel logos

He's a free man, no one involved (club, club fans player) benefits by him being kept on the bench

I guess a lot expect the big names for PSG will make a difference.

 

[Sara125]

What’s this camera angle on bt sports *vomits*

 

[adexkola]

Ramos starting?

Bayern through already

 

[bosnian_red]

He got charged, though not sure what the process is like there and how it differs to others like our own situation or Everton's situation where the players were under investigation. Is it just the clubs in those scenarios choosing to do something, or is the legal step they are at different?

 

[AbusementPark]

Don’t want to derail too much but hasn’t he been charged with an offence? Just my opinion but he shouldn’t be in the team at all until it’s all cleared up either way. This isn’t me saying he’s guilty etc, just that maybe he shouldn’t be playing if theirs a chance he is.

other players that have been suspected of offences have been removed from teams instantly until it’s been proven either way.

 

[The Firestarter]

Nagelsmann quite punchable mug innit?

 

[AbusementPark]

Bayern look up for this.

Crowd noise in the first few minutes was insane, very intimidating.

 

[Morty_]

Ramos starting?

Bayern through already

Why?

 

[Mr. Robot]

I hate Bayern. Come on PSG!

The bolded.

I think the difference is the level of public uproar. If he was a United player I don't think the club would be able to play him through the outcry.

 

[adexkola]

Why?

I think he'll make an error that gifts Bayern a goal

 

[mu4c_20le]

Hakimi still starting. Sus.

"Are we the mugs?"

 

[mancsarered]

I will never get used to seeing Messi run around the pitch in the #30 shirt

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

Dunno if some of you watch the CBS feed, but Ray Hudson's OTT live dickriding of Messi has not changed over the years.

 

[Sandikan]

Thought Liverpool were on tonight?!

Bayern look up for this.

It'd never fall that they play us and a key Euro game over 4 days. They aren't that unlucky!

 

[Morty_]

PSG looks much more dangerous.

Ah. So my original statement of sus /scummy from the club is correct then!

 

[GhastlyHun]

Kimmich and Goretzka playing hard men with Messi. I do hope it won't backfire

 

[redshaw]

Good move by PSG before

I wouldn't rule them out, Mbappe fresher can turn the game around. I expect Bayern to get through but it's well poised right now.

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

Romero aggression 20.

 

[kouroux]

A bit boring this

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

A bit boring this

So far, it's a shit football day.
