Match Day Thread CL Semi Finals.

It’s better than last night

 

I wonder what the outcome would have been if Salah and Kane had have played ?

 

What timing to score the winning goal, the Ajax players went down as if multiple snipers had shot them. Heart breaking for those young Ajax players but what an unbelievable feeling it must have been for the Spurs lads

 

Agreed.

Ajax actually was trying to win unlike Barca, it was in Amsterdam, and they had to turn around a 3-0 defecit in 45 minutes rather than 90.

Gotta feel for Ajax though. Such a good side that deserves so much credit for getting where they are, it's just a shame that team is going to be broken up now.

 

With Salah I think Liverpool may still have won. Barca were so bad.

Spurs play much differently with Kane up front, it's hard to tell.

 

Liverpool did the 45 minute comeback deal in Istanbul, so decided to pace themselves and do it in 90 this time. Experience counts

 

At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if Man City throw away the Prem now.

Football's gone weird.

 

Or maybe this is a big warning to Man City at what happens if you take your eye off the ball ?

 

Not so weird as to get us good owners who engage with the fans unfortunately.

 

Gordon Bennett. I guess the tale of this should be never ever rule out English sides in European competitions. Still I had a Barca v Ajax final and would have put money on it if forced to. I hope Spurs v Liverpool is a corker and a credit to English football.
If Arsenal v Chelsea is the Europa Final then I guess this will be the first time both finals have been contested by teams from the same league.

 

Yep, it's never happened before.

****'s sake, just realised my sister is getting married on the same day as the final.

****.

Sorry sis.

 

If Kane, Salah and Firmino are all OK for the final the scorers who got both teams there could all be on the bench. Funny old game...

 

If Spurs drop Lucas they deserve to lose.

 

Come on Quill - rearrange the wedding & reception to be held in Madrid. Sis will love you even more.

 

I think if Hull City were playing she might possibly understand.

Even then it might be a stretch.

 

We’re all spurs aren’t we

 

Vomit inducing init ,Bob.

 

What happens if Spurs finish 4th, win the champions league, Arsenal win the europa league. Does England have 5 teams or do Chelsea drop out?

 

The similarity with Istanbul was that Ajax walked off the pitch at half time believing they had already won, just like Milan in 2005. The crowd were already celebrating as they kicked off the second half. Once Spuds got about them they couldn't get the momentum back.
