Well he scored his penalty when facing the master of GK mind games put it that way
Europa League / Conference League 23/24
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Between August 2023 and now he was in Juve, Union Berlin and now Turkey
Think he has release clause if I recall
100 mill to Saudi this summer is on
Fair play to Leverkusen they never allowed West Ham to get level on aggregate. That could have really made things interesting with the crowd behind them. I was impressed by the proactive changes Alonso made in the game too.
Have this feeling that Leverkusen will end up in the same Champions League group as Villa/Spurs. Wonder if West Ham could have beaten Roma had they found a way to prevail tonight.

Break in the PED cycle
Since the introduction of european cups, no
Just watched the Villa highlights this morning.
What was up with the referee practically standing beside the penalty spot?

In case a Lille player went over to punch Martinez.
They struggled with Antonio in both games. Roma have Lukaku so it's reasonably fair to assume something similar could happen.
West Ham were ultimately undone in both games by a lack of strength on the bench, with injuries and suspensions. All three Leverkusen goals came after 83 minutes. If Roma have more depth they may well prevail.
Wow, that was pretty terrible but this season we can't even lose such a game. West Ham was much better than in the first match, though, credits to them. Don't get why they were playing so negatively in their away game. Antonio is a tank.
True, although considering how poor they were in the first half, I feel it made it easier for him to be proactive. They really could've been down by more by halftime.
Perhaps.
But if you watch Douglas Luiz penalty, he actually moves in towards him as he's taking the kick. I've never seen a ref be that close or move inwards while a player was taking the kick. Something very off about it.
Martinez misses first leg of the semi… so no red card but ended up suspended anyway.
You seem to know a lot about this. Are you the club's dealer?
Fantastic reply, strong 4/10
Love your work. Proper "Top Red" stuff.
Alonso going full Mourinho at Roma 
Kovar, Stanisic, Tah, Tapsoba; Frimpong, Andrich, Xhaka, Hincapie; Wirtz, Grimaldo; Adli
4 CBs, 2 wingbacks plus 2 defensive midfielders, all of Boniface, Schick and hlozek on the bench.. The attack is basically Wirtz and Adli
Think his main focus now is not losing a game all season..

Roma- Leverkusen is a proper Hollywod tie. Mark Wahlberg coaching one side, Paul Thomas Anderson directing the other.
Great from Koopmeiners and Scamacca (I'll take both please)
Don’t know who the woman is on the Villa game… awful. Bland, inane, generic statements, no insight at all
”Clear offside”.
Replay “yeah, clearly offside”
VAR … ONSIDE

Where's the bloke?
Bit of a kit clash in the Villa game or are my eyes getting worse?
What do you mean?
Ref of the Roma - Leverkusen game is whistling everything. Gonna make the players mad and start throwing themselves down every chance they get.
Villa now two behind.
Darlin
Villa 2 down at home. Not a good ebening at the moment
What's this, going in front? How will the writers fit in the 90+16 equalizer?
Leverkusen ahead. Karsdorp
Villa struggling. There massive favs to win the tournament.
That can still happen! Love the Leverkusen plot armor this season
How the hell are Villa 2-0 down at home to Olympiakos? Cannot see the game here where I am
What the f are Villas defence doing?
Wife‘s a Villa fan and my Bank Holiday is going to be ruined at this rate. Already blaming me for being 2-0 down

Leverkusen should have scored two more in the meantime.
Can't equalize at 90+16 if winning. Karsdorp big braining it
Well Villa have fecked up my bet
Shape looks poor for midfield/defence to me. Lads taken his two goals well to be fair and timed two runs perfectly.
Would Martinez have saved one/both? Stupid yellow in q/f.
Villa started well, thought Olympiakos looked poor but clearly have a plan
Roma are mourinhoing this
