Mateu Lahoz is such a cunt. Disgunting referee. 2 penalties and Salah was forgiven a red. Even the bloody VAR stood still

Even with VAR, there are robberies.

In one game, they will use it to cancel a goal but not in another game.
On one game, they will use it to give penalty kick, in another one no penalty.

Refereeing at their finest.

I have to say, not too impressed by Liverpool tonight.

For me it's the opposite actually. They played smart. They started strong, scored 2 goals quickly with ease. They avoided wasting too much energy after they felt like 2-0 was enough, which it most likely will be, so they focused more on preserving that and making sure they didn't allow an away goal, since they're fighting on two fronts like crazy, can't afford any screw ups in the league too, if they want to win it, which is still their priority I think, since it's been 29 years since they were last champions and their fans are even more eager to break that curse.

Their defense is scary good, when you compare with the shit it was just a year ago. Amazing how one world class defender can change that. Not to mention their counter attacking game, which is even scarier, especially for our high, but kinda slow defensive line. That said, I still believe we can hurt them right back even harder with Messi, Suarez and hopefully by then fully fit and in form Dembele, especially if their league table will still be as close as it is right now in time for the semifinals. But, first things first, knock out United first. If we do though, gonna be two cracking matches, might just be the highest anticipated two-legged tie in the last 5 years for sure. A Barca-Juve a.k.a Messi-Cristiano head to head final for the title and the record 6th Ballon'd Or will be the only thing topping that, if it happens.

Very over confident users here. Liverpool has been really good in the CL. We’re still not sure how good Valverde is in the CL. Tactics play a far bigger role in this competition

Porto are a very poor team for this level, Liverpool simply had far and away the easiest draw. Their first goal was a fluky deflection and beyond the second goal did not create any good chances at all. Porto had better chances than them after the opening 25 minutes.

Yes, their defense is good, but they still leak goals here and there. Also Salah, is below last year's standards.

Of course overall, they are definitely one of the best teams in Europe, and maybe even favorites for the CL, but they are far from invincible. If we are ON FORM, we can beat them.

I can actually see Ajax knockout Juventus.
They connect real fast and have nothing to lose. They will go at it with same mindset as against Real. Pressure is on Juventus.

Even with Juve’s notorious Italian wall Ajax created so many chances because of the pace and fast buildup.

Doesnt Barca know by now that winning the first leg in this years CL means you go out?
Juventus with the tactical draw, like Barca did last round.
