It was the day god fell asleep in Greece.

Olympiakos could n't even hold the ball for the best part of one minute, but they scored three against a horrible Atletico defense.

3-2 in the end.

Atletico managed a similar thing 5-6 years ago, lost home and away to Aris Salonika. Atletico had Forlan then.

Only problem for BVB is that they are inconsistent as fuck (partly due to injures too) ever since that CL final. They put world class performance like tonight or vs Real last year, but then go and lose against average german team. If they can play like this week in week out, they could seriously attack Bayern in title race, but its only matter of time when they will put weird loss to Hoffenheim, Hertha, Freiburg etc...

It is difficult for a team like dortmund, they are not really a deep team and with the pressing game that klopp want to play, it is impossible not to have plenty of drop off

Arsenal has got to be the most frustrating team to support with Wenger as their manager in recent years. Someone close to him needs to call him out because he's not cutting it at all imo. How can a manager be so tactically naive?

You're playing away to Dortmund. How about not asking both your fullbacks to bomb forward? How about not letting both your CMs attack leaving Arteta as the only midfielder to cover for them and for the fullbacks. How about not playing a luxury player out wide who isn't going to track back and yet still asking your 19 y/o debutant FB to overlap?

How can he be so stupid? Don't get me wrong I love to see Arsenal getting destroyed but I'm just curious wtf Arsene actually does? Someone at Arsenal, close to him needs to call him out and needs to hold him responsible. He must not be answering to anyone because he keeps getting away with the same mistakes. Same obvious mistakes too.

There are really no words to describe how idiotic Wenger is, from a tactical perspective. Always only play one way without even the slightest attempt to tweak their tactics to deal with the threat of opposition.

This Gladbach vs Villa Real is the weirdest thing ever.

Uche comes on for Villa Real, spends 5 seconds on the pitch, scores with his first touch, gets injured in the process and is subbed back off. Then ref stops match after finding a mobile phone on the pitch which turned out to have been dropped by Villa Real medic when he was aiding Uche off the pitch.

Don't know about you, but that's a first for me...

Add to that, ref just blew for a pen in the 90th minute, then after pointing to the spot, just changed his mind and ran the other way and just allowed the counter attack to go on while half the players had already stopped when he blew the whistle :blink:
