Champions League

Benfica put out Ajax and Xavi failed to beat them at home when could of put Barca through also.

Liverpool just far too good for them.

What was that, like Xavi's second game? We would've demolished Benfica today.

Liverpool’s actual form hasn’t been great for a while but they keep winning. That is a sign of a top team. They will take some beating but them vs Bayern will be very interesting, should that happen which looks very likely.

Yes with all the players have now and in better place would batter them I agree.

Then with players have.. Pedri fit and Dembele firing but wasnt case then.

Barca were dropping points to worse teams than Benfica before xmas and were battered by Bayern as well.

Things have completely changed.

Darwin Nunez scores.

2-1.

 

[Catta]

Atleti alread had 2 good counters. City lucky that Griezmann is not fast enough.

 

[Andresito]

Nunez price just went up +10m

 

[Horatio]

What was that, like Xavi's second game? We would've demolished Benfica today.

Yes with an attack that finally converts all those chances we create since arrival of Koeman.

 

[DonAK]

If Benfica's defence can keep it together they can make this a tie.

Need to keep their composure when they have the ball forward too.

Vamos Benfica and ATM

 

[fergus90]

We played some really nice stuff with Koeman between Jan-Apr 21 but there were too many patches of poor form outside of it.

 

[Catta]

Great reaction from Oblak.

 

[DonAK]

I like how Nunez has done so far even though he's barely gotten any service. Promising. Not sure it's 60-70m promising though

 

[BerkeleyBernie]

More of this from City- force free kicks, clever set plays. Get Mahrez with the ball on his feet into the box and force a penalty.

 

[JamDav1982]

Gundogan to make break through.

Loves a late run into box on these tight games.

 

[fergus90]

Benfica coulda drawn level then.
