Like Keane said to Carragher, come back to me at the end of the season before he compares this Liverpool side to the 99 Treble side.
Champions League Round of 16 (18th Feb - 8th Aug)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
No self awareness whatsoever.
I think Joe Gomez was at fault for both the second and the third Atletico goals. For the second, he goes for ball watching instead of marking Llorente. He should have stayed close to him instead of being drawn into Morata who has Henderson and Van Dijk on him. Then for the third, he completely sells himself to Morata, when it was at least 4 Liverpool players vs 2 Atletico players - there was no need for that.
Credit where credit's due, I eliminated the scouse by urging Simeone to attack.
Who's Dirk?
Does anyone know when the last time the two finalist from the previous season didn't even make the quarter-finals?
Edit: Actually both Monaco-Porto in 2005 and Arsenal-Barca in 2007.

Almost certainly it's all over now. Real Madrid and Juventus both in quarantine.

I really regret my team will not have a chance of lifting the CL trophy.
Llorente: Me Too.

Dangit, anyone else going crazy without football? It's the time when big games are played...
Olympique Lyon's president has said the return leg between Lyon and Juve will be played behind closed doors in Turin on 7 Aug.
UEFA is denying anything has been decided.

Don't see any point in forceably trying to complete this. National leagues are having a tough time as it is trying to finish their competitions and starting new ones in the second half, they shouldn't have to worry about cramming in European cup competitions.
It's a cup competition so you can't have the argument about league positions and teams deserving to win etc.
This competition along with EL, FAC and league cup should be null and voided la
Honestly, this could be the future of European competition
Nah, the home/away two legged format is too big a part of the competition. I can't see them changing it once things are back to normal. Could be in place for next years comp though, depending on the second wave.
Wonder if this is how group stage next season is played? Each group in one city and all 12 games played during 2-3 weeks?

For PSG, I'd expect Mbappe to be out for the season. I think it may be an Atletico vs Atalanta semi final.
I think it's only fair that City are expelled. It's the only solution that I can think of.
There will be exemptions for football clubs on the basis that they are tested regularly and will be bubbled
Are they really bubbled? Sterling was pictured on a French beach with Piers Morgan the other day?
I imagine if the Real players are mass tested then bubbled between then and game time they'll be allowed as an exception for work purposes or something. After all Leicester have still been permitted to play at the KP despite the local lockdown.

“Paulo Dybala was subjected to radiological tests at J|Medical this morning which revealed an elongation of the rectus femoral muscle of the left thigh. His conditions will be evaluated day by day.”
He's a serious doubt for the second leg.

Communication from #PSG on Mbappe: "The imaging workup performed today confirms a sprained ankle with external ligament injury. Following this trauma, the recovery time is approximately 3 weeks."
Should miss the Atalanta game then.
All coming up City, unbanned, given the tie, name on the trophy ?
Why the feck would they be awarded the tie
Isn't that one of the reasons for mass testing? Identify any cases, isolate and let the rest get on with it?
Or is it a different ball game when a match requires international travel?

This will be even more * if they win it
It looks like he didn't come in contact with anyone. Squad had week off and he was found positive before joining squad. So it doesn't make sense to award tie to City if rest of the squad is negative and he didn't come in contact with any of them.
De Fault. The two sweetest words in the English language.
City are buying the title now too? Why not just buy all the ties?
Default is one word.
Pavard is apparently out for the rest of the season, i.e., the CL. Most likely means Kimmich won't be available at DM for our preferred midfield setup in the CL tournament.
Yep, rather have Thiago and Goretzka behind Müller than Odriozola starting at RB.
