Bit unfair it went to penalties for both sides.

Out for a curry with some friends over from Spain, couldn’t believe the score every time we checked our phones.

Re: Season 2018/2019
Incredible result but the greatest champions league comeback? Barca themselves recovered from a 4-0 drubbing by smashing PSG 6-1 in the return leg. I mean Liverpool overturning a 3-0 defecit in a single half of football surely ranks above it too. I get the result is incredible but sports journalism is rife with sensationalism headlines until the next thing comes along at which point they just retcon anything they'd previously written.
Liverpool great going forward but honestly it was like the first leg with switched sides. How Barcelona didn't score is up there with Liverpool failing to score in the first leg. They cut Liverpool open time and time again and I'd say that's just Barca but they were just as fortunate to leave Newcastle with 3 points when it should've been 0.
If Ajax win I still feel Liverpool could run riot over them depending how Ajax set up to play. If they try to defend and soak up they'll get hammered. If they attack Liverpool we'll see a top end to end final.
Also, Andy Robertson should've been sent off in the opening minutes. Suarez up to his filthy ways too. Guy kicked out and took swipes twice. The purpose of VAR once again making itself unclear but it's alright because I'm fairly sure Messi dived and scored the resulting free kick in the first leg so aye Karma is a shame. If Man City had lost to Leicester I'd begin to question whether dark forces were at work here. But ultimately I'd rather have Liverpool in a final than Barca and if it comes to that I'd rather have Liverpool win it than Ajax. If its Spurs vs Liverpool I'd just be happy an English team won it.

I've been thinking about that one and i'd say it's at least on par with Istanbul and the Barca PSG result. Bearing in mind two out of three of our first choice strikers were out and Barca had rested their entire first team over the weekend it was an incredible result. Still pinching myself

A European Den, but definitely not modern ! .
Just saying we need to get it into perspective when we talk about 'English' teams. I have to put the subtitles on to understand any of the managers in the Premiership. God knows how the half time team talks work in several different languages!

You are quite right along with the odd swear word to boot as well.
