The European Leagues & Competitions Thread V2

Keylor Navas was world class tonight. No one could beat him from the near post or middle, he closed down chances quickly. He's really underrated 

[Special Juan 27,424]

The amount of chances Roma missed was incredible, always going to happen that Madrid would eventually make them pay.

Salah gave Marcelo an absolute torrid time last night, roasted him nigh on every time he had the ball. Madrid really are not all that, and as for Bale....complete ghost performance from him.

• Chelsea host Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday
• The competition is Chelsea's last realistic chance of qualifying next season
• The Blues would stand to lose at least £40m as a result of their failure
• Chelsea could lose more from sponsors with possible players leaving too

 

It's all or nothing for Chelsea against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night in a Champions League last-16 second leg that can be considered last chance saloon to make this a successful season.

Failure to qualify for Europe's elite competition next term is set to cost at least £40million and even more if sponsors jump ship, while transfers in and out of the club could take a hit too.

They are unlikely to win the Champions League this season and would have to rely on qualifying the old fashioned way through the Barclays Premier League. With them 10th, however, it's looking more and more like Chelsea will be left in no man's land – either not in Europe or, what some consider worse, forced to compete in the Europa League.

Two absolute belters tonight at 6pm and 8pm....Dortmund v Spurs and Liverpool v United

Fancy two home wins if I am honest.

[Special Juan 27,424]

This Dortmund side is a joy to watch. Full of young, energetic, technically gifted players with a desire to attack and also play great football. There isn't an old make shift midfielder in there, there isn't a player that looks technically poor out there for them, just pure energetic players with talent and desire.

If we are going to follow a benchmark this should be it.

1-0 Aubameyang...what a header that was.

[AWorriedChelseaFan 151]

Cannot stand Spurs, so hoping for a Dortmund win.

[Last Sicarius 610]

3-0 so far Spurs doesnt exist... I really want to see Kane :/ Pochettino focus hard on title fight.

[Special Juan 27,424]

I tuned in for exactly this, to see this horrible fucking lot shit on.

I hope Dortmund get a 4th and 5th.

[Special Juan 27,424]

Now on to Liverpool v United....I hope there is blood and guts and Liverpool sneak it.

[Kezza 1,965]

Love how the Liverpool fans think its a CL night..chill out with your banners and shit it's only Europa

[Special Juan 27,424]

Even funnier was how the microphones were turned up near the United fans when the YNWA anthem played 

[Kezza 1,965]

Hahah yes! Slippy G chant!! 

[Last Sicarius 610]

Did united make any action on LFC side?-.-We can turn back 6/7 years and see Big four in CL games and now two the most titled clubs are fighting in LE and we will come to them.

[KevinAshburner 1,270]

Yes. Man Utd are fucking dead in UEL. LIVERPOOL 2-0

[Last Sicarius 610]

Look at this photo and think why English clubs dont care about LE.

Imagine how that photo will look at the end of next season when the side finishing 20th in the Premier League will earn more than the €138m we earned as champions last season?

[AWorriedChelseaFan 151]

Can't see Spurs coming back to this tie against Dortmund, what were they thinking resting their best players for the weekend game against Aston Villa ?

 

Btw, absolutely disgusting from Fellaini. Glad the mancs lost against the bin dippers.
