Christ that shot from Rabiot was pure turd. He seems the sort of carrot that'd really frustrate if he played for your team.

It's already known that the initial goal was ruled out for a foul (it's on the BBC website and everything). You guys are making this more complicated than it really is.
I don’t have the BBC live update app so I didn’t actually know that. :p

It doesn’t answer the question of what would happen if the goal was legitimate though.

I sense an injury time screamer from outside the box into the top corner

How has Morata managed to eke out a career involving Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid.

I can’t recall the last time a player as not good as him circulated between so many top clubs.

First they checked whether they deemed Haaland's goal a foul. If they had not overruled it, then the penalty incident would have been a moot point, since advantage would have overruled it. But after Haaland's goal was overruled the penalty was back in play and entirely unconnected to Haaland's goal.
I'm relieved (at the advantage bit).

Lack of good CF material in world football and a constant strive to rejuvenate teams. It's ridiculous though, once he's gone from Juventus he'll be playing for some type of midtable team.

By now only Hummels and Haaland were better today. Reus has been alright too.
Checked their starting XI.. A lot less impressive considering most of them are bang average.

How bad have Sevilla been? Losing to that Dortmund XI would take some doing.

This Juventus-Porto game has been a right proper European tie
It's been brilliant! I'll be delighted with another 30 minutes.

Either of Cuadrado or Chiesa would make us a much better side on today's showing. Arthur has been very good as well.

There was a VAR check right after 90 mins.. and general time wasting. Great to see a ref not blow at 5.. Always hated that.

Jees what a fecking dramatic game Dortmund's was. Absolute crap refereeing by Cakir made it more dramatic though, no reason to disallow Haaland's first goal and then the penalty on Haaland was soft as well.

Dortmund were much better in the second half though and tried to attack more. Overall though, in both legs they conceded twice after going in the lead. They're really mentally fragile.

Mercifully, Sevilla are out of Europe and I don't have to suffer through their shite football and playacting any longer.

Some shite in the CL this year. City should be winning it to be honest.

It would be fun to see Porto knock Juventus out but at the same time Juventus are probably the only 'big' club I wouldn't mind winning the competition.
