Champions League semifinals (2nd legs)

[Theafonis]

Woah Champions League is beyond dead these days. Seems like this match thread hasn't even passed 1 page. Even my social media isn't as active with CL content as I would expect.

I think I might just skip these ties and do something productive too

that was a pen ..

The QFS and first KO stage were pretty good.

 

[Hellboy]

Good start from Monaco

 

[Borden]

We have to buy Mendy. He's fecking class.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

WHAT A CHANCE FOR MBAPPE!

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

3-4-1-2 for Monaco. Bernardo Silva is playing as AM.

 

[Damien]

Mbappe has great instincts.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Monaco have started very well.

In other news Fifa are investigating Paul's transfer to us.

Can't post the tweet as its media but its on @AFP

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

A Monaco goal will make this tie a lot more interesting.

There is probably another thread you could put this in.

Jardim is a great coach, going for this formation was the right choice to press their back 3

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Khedira looks injured.

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

I'd love an early Monaco goal to make this match exciting

 

[NoPace]

I'd rest players if I were Jardim.

The title is within their grasp, so they had better not blow it trying to salvage this.

No.

They need one win in 3 games to win it (+18 over PSG in goal difference) and have the 7th, 10th and 11th sides in the league. I think they'll be fine. They can rest the guys like Mendy who are struggling with injuries, bring in the other striker for Falcao and do similar minor things if the guys with fitness issue or who are older need the first of the 3 league games off.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Mendy crosses so well.

 

[pocco]

Bakayoko been brilliant so far.

 

[matherto]

Monaco have nothing to lose, this might actually be pretty decent considering the score.

 

[Hellboy]

Mendy crosses so well.

Unbelievable ...

 

[NoPace]

Juve look so strong on paper. We're so far behind the top clubs..

Hope they beat Real in the final.

Yeah, if you look at their first Xi we'd maybe only get Pogba in, basically for Mandzukic if a bit deeper and more central, and since Buffon isn't really worse than De Gea as they're both great.

They just don't really have weaknesses. Juve's 10th best starter most weeks is probably Pjanic, which is pretty damn solid. He'd probably be closer to 6th on our teamsheet after Pogba, De Gea, Ibra and maybe 2 of Herrera, Bailly and Valencia.

That's why I think Chelsea can be a lot stronger next year. Moses and Cahill and to a lesser degree Pedro are all first XI spots I think they can easily upgrade with big transfer moves.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Unbelievable ...

His crosses are like razors

 

[redshaw]

Surprised to see quite a few empty seats for CL semi final.

Monaco doing pretty good so far. Hope they strike first, then it's game on.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Higuain bottles it here

 

[BigDunc9]

Higuain

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

There's the Higuain I know.

 

[TrueRed79]

Haha, Higuain

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Jemerson=turd.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Christ! Monaco's defence all over the place again. Great save by Subasic.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

What a save that.

 

[NoPace]

Dybala's use of the ball very impressive so far.

 

[Damien]

Great save

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Juventus are stepping up now. They should be up.

 

[JuveGER]

How have we not scored so far?

 

[NoPace]

Obviously they need his aerial threat and goalscoring potential but has Falcao touched the ball yet?

 

[eggwithsideburns]

Monaco need a Roy keane moment to spark a come back.

I agree with you. But I think you underestimate pjanic here. He is rated by many as the best midfielder of juve and I think be as good as pogba in manchester if not better.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Offside.
