What a strike by Valverde last night, gutted for him that it goes down as an own goal :wideyed:

Another day, another confusing offside and VAR decision.

A. Madrid on the attack, pass forward to a player in an offside position, defender lunges to block the pass, which deflects the ball towards Morata to score (who was onside at the time of the initial pass), and the goal stands.

The defender wouldn’t have tried to lunge for it had it not been for the player in the offside position… so not sure what stupid law allows that goal.

It's the same law that gave us a penalty at Anfield when Lovren sliced a clearance that sent an offside Kane through on goal.

It's a law that isn't fit for any sort of purpose but it's been around for years.

On another note, Arne Slot's tight white trousers really weird me out. Not a good look.

Shakhtar really are a terrible team this year, for understandable reasons of course. Outplayed by Porto first match, being outplayed by Antwerp this .

Even ol' Vincent Janssen's almost scored, hit the post earlier.

Toby misses a penalty with the last kick of the game after 6 minutes added time that would've made it 3-3

Don't want to tell the Anderlecht coach how to do his job but an aging CB as your PK taker doesn't seem like the usual choice.

Couldn’t help but feel happy for the Newcastle fans when I saw them going mental when that opener went in.
