Champions League 2016-17

That was a cracking game last night, Allegri was pretty brave with his team selection and tactics, it's almost sad to watch this Barca now, it's like watching great boxers winding down, taking a pay day too many. They've still got the moves but the legs can't keep up with the brain anymore.

Regarding the Dortmund explosion, two letters apparently left in different locations.
One suggests it's related to German involvement in bombing Syria etc. and mentions Berlin incident.
The other claims that it's an anti-facist group, claiming it was in response to the clubs soft approach to neo-Nazi and racist fans.
I would imagine if it was Islamic Fundamentalist etc. then the devices would have been much more direct, rather than putting them in a bush in the hope it does major damage.

Reports from Germany also say they are investigating the letters to see if they are fake distractions to pin it on other groups. A leftist group has also claimed responsibility. If it was ISIS surely they would already have claimed responsibility.

German prosecutors say two Islamist extremists are the focus of the Dortmund attack investigation and one of them has been detained

This game could end up 5-5 with the way these two teams go about things, if Monaco had all their players available I'd fancy them to edge this, and I still quietly fancy them to get something, but I also quite like the look of Dortmund's shape, Tuchel's gone for the Pooch 3421 (have they been playing this all season ?).

Fabinho misses a penalty for Monaco.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

That was offside surely

This game is so fucking open. Haven't seen much of Dortmund this season, have they been this poor defensively often?

Juve and Torino used to share the stadio della Alpi - built for the 1990 World Cup - but they hated it, it was too big, always half empty (near 70,000 capacity I think) running track etc shit atmosphere - so Juve built their own and Torino got the smaller redeveloped one on the site.

Why are attendances so poor in Italy? Are its people destitute?

What the fuck was Bender appealing for there?!

Monaco - the hype is real.

Throwing things at police and chanting things such as "Gibraltar is ours". What did they think was going to happen..

They're not getting much sympathy on the football fan pages I've seen.

 

[nightgoat]

Leicester fans in being a bunch of pricks shocker.

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Feeling pretty sorry for Dortmund at the mo. Considering how brave they've been, you'd think they'd be due some luck. Every bounce is going Monaco's way at the mo.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Never been impressed by Weigl, don't get the hype.

Watching this it reminds me of us missing out on PEA and Dembele. Who are there equivalents today? Players with potential at slightly smaller clubs?

Zaha?

This Mbappe kid looks very tidy...

He does look very good, just wish he'd cut out the diving.

Remember when the Sevilla police weren't very nice to us, wankers.
