    Chelsea players arguing and pushing each other over who will take the penalty.

    Scummy club from top to bottom.

    Out of interest, why didn't we make an attempt to sign Palmer?

    Had he stayed, I suspect he'd compete with Foden for a place and maybe that didn't appeal to the player.

    Club anticipated that Not606’s finest, Citizen Kane, would’ve lost the plot at spending £42m on a player with just 19 league appearances to his name after previous rants about Gil and links to Nusa.

    They didn’t want that smoke <whistle>

    Possibly, although he could play the role Alvarez does or even deputise for Haaland. City have an embarrassment of riches in those areas.
    I agree though that the prospect of playing a limited number of games and spending most of his time on the bench persuaded him to seek a move for regular football.

    I get the feeling that somebody is going to wish the away goals rule still stood by the end of this evening's CL games...

    I feel like evenings like this have vindicated the decision to do away with that rule.

    I'm looking at Atletico with particular interest. The way they used to approach games - going for a 0-1 away win then boring everyone to death at home - is a thing of the past. Teams don't play for draws anymore.

    Ousmane Dembele with one of the best villain performances in a long while.

    Barca fans had fake pigs heads, fake Dembele money and booed the **** out of him all night.

    Scored Paris’ first, gets the penalty for the third and smiles his way off the pitch when subbed.

    Wumming done right.

    And Ronald Araujo with one of the worst villain performances.
    Barca leading 3-2 from the first leg then go up 1-0 on the night and he does this:


    Genuinely would've been better off doing literally nothing.
    Barca are now out of all cup competitions and 8 points plus 19 GD behind Real for the title.
    Looking like a trophyless season for them and Xavi's leaving, too.

    That is easy to correct.
    At the end of the two legs, if the aggregate score is equal,
    then the away goals rule only applies to the team(s) that
    scored at least M away goals.

    So set M = 2.
    If the standard is then raised so the great majority of
    teams score two goals in away legs, and similar number
    of aggregate equal scores occur, increase M.
