If someone wants, Benfica against Porto right now...

Oh forgot about that, thanks for reminding me! gonna watch a little

[Liquidator 5,176]

oh great not this bunch again. Can't wait for their play acting and conning of the officials and Cardozo going down like a ton of bricks at every opportunity. One of my least favourite teams in Europe with a squad full of bellends.

Hard to decide whether or not I want Benfica to win today. Them winning would seal them the title and they could still be a little hungover for the final but it could also mean them playing more relaxed after winning one trophy already. Porto winning could either depress them or drive them on to do better on Wednesday.

A draw it is, then.

Would it be wrong to hope for a couple of minor knocks to Benifca players to even things up as we lost Eden today?

For a few seconds I was thinking that Ramires could be used as a winger instead of Hazard. However, he will be used in the midfield as Luiz will surely play as CB with Ivanovic. Moses it is then. Still, Hazard would be such an asset.

Is Hazard out for sure?

Isn't this the team with that arse hole as a manager? Who we played last season in the Champions League, he's called Jesus something

Either way what a fucking tosser that guy was, couldn't agree more, team full of bell ends.

What's wrong with Hazard

[Jusek 2,031]

What's wrong with Hazard

Injured his hamstring today vs. Villa.

What's wrong with Hazard

Closing moments of the game, tweaked his hamstring and had to come off. Shame really cuz that pretty much rules him out for Wednesdays EL Final, even though it didnt look to be a full tear.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

No way Hazard will be able to come back for this one. The only negative from today with both JT and Hazard getting injured, really sad.

[Billy. 2,739]

oh okay, tbh i think we should still win this without Hazard

I don't usually watch the Portuguese league and I've never really paid close attention to Benfica. I already knew that their defense was not that good, but from this Porto game, they look terrible in the air. haven't been able to deal properly with anything that has come into their box.

Bertrand for Hazard

we've never lost a European final with Bertrand playing

we have Ramires available this time! no need for Bertrand!

Sadly, we don't any real physical threat and presence upfront. Can look to target them from set pieces though.

But we should look to take advantage of corners.

I did say we can target them on set pieces...
