6-6 after 2 legs.... Un-frikken believable!!!!

What a semifinal..... Inter vs Barca, into extra time. Incredible stuff

Inter score in the 99th minute - 1st half of extra time, and win the tie 7-6 on aggregate. Absolutely wonderful match in this seasons Champions League. 

Looking for to PSG vs Arsenal tomorrow night, for a place in the final against Inter Milan

The Trent Alexander-Arnold contract/free agent saga has been revealing.  Not least the amount of vitriol and the bitter, often racist, anger directed at him.

Remember when Liverpool fans united to lend full voice and support to an Uruguayan racist who had a weird fondness for biting opponents?

 

Can someone explain why Liverpool fans draw the line of support at a lad born in Liverpool who has served the club for 10 years, winning 2 league titles and a Champions League?

YNWA!?  Yeah, right.   Moronic levels of idiocy and...

This shame needs a 🤣🤣🤣... as well.

Not that it's funny, but it's to be laughed at because of exactly who they are!! Scousers!

One of their OWN, a Liverpudlian who helped to bring success and trophies to the club.  That's the guy they so rabidly turn against?

Liverpool fans themselves prove that YNWA is a worthless slogan, with zero substance.

to be fair. All clubs supporters would probably behave like this to a certain extent.

I'm not so sure about that....

From my own experience, Spurs went on to sell Luca Modric, Gareth Bale, Harry Kane, Michael Carrick, Dimitar Berbatov, etc - all against the will of the supporters and the club. The difference is that the club kept the players' contracts as their assets and protected those to the hilt! As a result, none were able to leave without the club receiving a healthy financial return in each case.

TAA's case is a show of poor financial management and planning at Liverpool FC. And the supporters should not be blaming the player.

Think there are fundamental differences here. 

TAA is a 20 year product of Liverpool. The club made him. He also rejected numerous new contract deals. 
 

he wanted to be a free agent thus denying Liverpool a financial gain from selling him. He has also riled up the crowd. 
 

look, any racism is not cool but some of the accusations are pretty spot on. He has not conducted himself with dignity here. Bite the hand that feeds. 
 

those you mentioned have been somewhat ethical in their dealings. Not so much TAA.

Okay. Got it. 👍🏽

I've not been privy to the details previously...

If they have the savvy, and yesterday's game is anything to go by.... The Fat Lady might not have sung yet

I've not seen a reflex save sharper than Donnarumma diving to his low left for that early Ødegaard bullet between defenders.  I'm even more impressed by Donnarumma every time I see him in action.

He definitely kept PSG in the game. He's been brilliant throughout the knockout stages.

Let's not forget, PSG finished 15th in the qualifying league stage of this CL, with only 13th points from 8 matches. So they've definitely improved.
