The sight of manciteh fans leaving early after everything their team has delivered this season is pretty galling.

Well I don't think the players will be doing a lap of Honour to say hello to the crowd.

Why would it be galling? Happens every home game. Least they are there to leave early, eh?

Fully deserved for Liverpool over 2 legs. Not getting an away goal really set us back. If we coulda gone in at half time 2-0 up then we might have made it interesting but Liverpool always had a goal in them.

Can stop searching for obscure routes to Kiev now Smiley

What's happened to Arsenal's invincibles this week then?

Bit of a let down after Salah scored, made like a city fan and left early switching to the Roma game. Two ex city lumps Kolarov and dzecko helping roma hand it to the Catalans with grit and togetherness.

Weird contrast to what was happening on the other side.


City seem to have no legs. Massive difference half time made.

Fair point, I guess Utd 1998/99 had it.

Some thoughts

If late stage CL ties are the test cricket of football, pep approached it like 20 over big bash cricket. Nearly paid off, but the better game management of klopp held. The Italians with citys prosaic rejects showed an alternative approach by slowly ratcheting up the pressure on barca.

City had every major tight decision go against them, as well as a couple of howlers. The sane offside decision was awful and denied us all a hell of a second half.

Salah is a boss. 39 goals this season. And he's only 25. If he scores 39 goals every season for the next 13 years - until he's 38 - he'll have as many goals as CR7 does now. Still a long way to go before the comparisons with the truly elite can be made (another CR7 stat for you, James milner has been playing pro first team football since he was 16. He's on course to be join an exclusive list of players who have made 500 prem appearances. After last night he can now say he has made as many club appearances as Ronnie has scored career goals)

Juve digging out Tottenham, real digging out psg, Roma rolling back the years and Liverpool's fire and brimstone anfield  bossing city's emptying soccerbowl and plastic flags. The euro old guard showing pedigree matters this year. Love it.

Agree with the bolded part, City can feel a tad hard done by, so many of the important decisions went against them in both legs, & they seemed to miss all those half chances they'd normally put away. The overall result was probably right, but it was closer than the scores suggest.

As a neutral, I did not really care who won, but I'm thrilled for Liverpool, & can't wait for the semi-finals. Liverpool with a real shot at the CL? Incred.

The other great mystery was that Referee last night.

It's so easy for us in our comfy armchairs to criticise these guys, but if last night's Referee was amongst Europe's elite, God help football.

It was clear within minutes he had Tourette's of the arms, he was like a traffic policeman, arms a-waving & pointing in all directions.

Referees need to be calm & assured, not like a whirligig.

Jack Taylor must be turning in his grave this morning, and Pierluigi Collina's eyes must have been on sticks.
