I would like to offer my personal thanks to Bayern and PSG for a game so entertaining that my missus (who is something of a nerd and has no interest in sports whatsoever outside of a vague willingness to watch F1) was genuinely thrilled. This bodes well for my future drinking and sports spectating.

Yeah yeah. Until the next tedious PL game when the missus hides the remote from you.

Said it earlier in this thread but it's the first time i've actively chosen to watch other games in the CL and rarely watch even highlights of the PL. The PL is increasingly a turgid procession to corners and free-kicks and even its media spends endless time obsessing over tactics, stats and narratives rather than the game itself.

And then you look back to last summer. I was sitting in a bar in Spain with the Mrs, ready to watch the CWC final and expecting us to get blown away and stop watching after 20 minutes. And yet Cole Palmer had different ideas and we battered them instead. And after that you thought "just mabye we are on the verge of something.........................."

Oh well, perhaps not!

Turns out all you need for a jaw dropping European night is no PL teams involved in the fixture. PSG/Bayern last night Barca/Inter last year.

I thought the Barca v Milan first leg last year was one of the best games I'd ever seen Couldn't believing how even better the 2nd leg turned out to be.

Then we get that extraordinary game last night. No sitting back trying to protect a lead, no slow, possession based dull football.

It was everything's that is lacking in the PL, it was the sort of football that we all love.

Alright let's see if Atletico can prove me wrong on them being a bye for Arsenal to go to the final.

Come on Atletico!

That Arsenal kit is an abomination

Great touch by the mods to the top left of the she end page!

Bit different to last night.

Would be fitting, after yesterday's game, if this ends 0-0, or 1-0 to ether side.

Or minus 1 each.

Alvarez a menace.

0-0 with a sending off each then?

Atletico need to sort themselves out, Arsenal will be absolutely thrilled to go home with a 0 - 0. It’s their mantra.

There was all of this talk about how great Griezmann is before the match, he needs to show why he’s so highly rated.

Griezzman unfortunately is a bit past his best.

wtf how is that a penalty?

Soft.

gotta be overturned. Dive

Bloody typical

I thought they'd at least let the ref take a look at the replay.

Kinda funny that Atletico are on the receiving end of that kind of decision.

Never a pen.

Got to turn it over during half time. No way can I sit through 15 minutes of that insufferable twat Keown

Nice looking sandwiches

Great. Now we can look forward to an even more boring 2nd half with Arse up a goal.

They dont have what it takes to trouble Arsenal. They lost at Spurs.
