    It would be very amusing for United to freeze out Sancho and then watch him go and lift the CL trophy with Dortmund.

    It would be special for Marco Reus to win it too. Such loyalty is a rare thing in Football these days.

    Awesome for him that his final game for Dortmund will be a Champions League final. Hope they win it.

    What the absolute **** was Tuchel thinking subbing off Kane and Musiala at 1-0.

    Kane is utterly cursed.

    Ancelotti is quite something.

    I can well imagine 90% of football fans will be Dortmund fans for the night when the final is played.

    Why did Tuchel take Kane off? Absolutely mad management

    Note to self. When managing the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid and leading the game with some great football, don't take everyone off and change everything with 15 to go.

    But could he do it on a wet, cold Tuesday night in Stoke? Been there, done that, got the t shirt.

    I asked this very Question when I saw Atlético Baleares demolish someone last season. We doubted that these very skilful players would adapt to the cooler and wetter conditions of the EFL. It certainly was with Joselu.

    Congrats to Leverkusen who have beaten Benfica's record by now going 49 games unbeaten, not bad for a city the size of Slough!

    2-0 down as well until the 86th minute. Then get an equaliser in the 97th! They do it so often now you just expect it <laugh>

    Well done Olympiakos! I think they might be the first Greek club side to reach a European final. And luckily, for them, the final is to be played at the home ground of AEK.Athens, the Olympic Stadium!!!

    Just to pop the bubble a teeny bit, it’s not at the Olympic Stadium, it’s at Agia Sofia Stadium, which is the same capacity as St Mary’s.

    I have just looked at a list of football clubs that are supporting the retention of FA Cup replays and the highest placed team in the list is Southampton. <applause><applause>
