Oh yeah. Last English team standing too. Love a Sevilla win tomorrow.

I would put money on Uefa wanting Real vs Bayern as the final and the draw reflecting that.
 
What is a pretty damning verdict of City over the two legs, and they are a tremendously talented side, is how much their game seemed reliant on the switch from the right, to Sane on the left. Every time they had the ball they were looking to play him in. It seemed to take the focus away from the rest of their attacking talent. And when you consider that he was brilliantly marshaled by TAA across both legs, it was a one dimensional approach for such an expensive side.

And Sane was caught offside for about 70% of these. Klopp doesn't get enough credit about how adept the defensive line has become at using the offside trap. This has killed City attacks time and time again.
 
Direct football, hard work and brilliant man management will always have a chance against expansive, highly technical styles. Milner exemplified what is possible through effort as his aging legs again and again showed up in the right place to foil City. A quite inspirational leg of European football.
 
For fuck's sake Dreamy, they're enjoying getting through to the semi finals of the champions league.

I believe it's quite a big thing, even for a professional footballer.

Enjoy the win but keep the dressing room selfies til we have big ears.

That's not a selfie. That's just a photo. For it to be a selfie, the person taking the photo also has to be in it.

Sure, how about the team stop celebrating goals too? You know, just celebrate them after a trophy has been won otherwise what's the point?
