Nah unacceptable excuse. The team will take a gigantic L for bottling this.

If Pool lose this game, it could have a Barca 2019 kind of effect on them.

Might even be the worst choke in CL history, considering the level of opposition.

I don't think Villareal will manage it though.

There were memorable comebacks in the past as well, but i'm pretty sure that football was way less volatile back then(say mid 00s), you won the home game with a couple of goals you were basically through, you didn't have these 3 goals comeback all over the place.

Tru. Every season now we have some big remontadas.

Peak Liverpool getting dunked by La Liga's Atletico and Villareal. Make it happen Unai.

Fairplay, thought Villarreal were finished after the 1st leg. Hopefully Liverpool still take it so Madrid can face some resistance in a potential final.

If Emery wins CL PSG would basically be the biggest idiots not only from this planet which they already are, but from whole Universe. They would have sacked two CL-winning managers.

Let's sack Xavi and hire Poch

I hope Vilareal do it. What a story that would be

It obviously isnt

Milan v Deportivo stands out like a sore thumb

Villarreal are 3rd in the table if you count points since November too IIRC

Maybe our players and our manager is seeing this. This is the physicality and the speed and commitment you need to show up with in Europe.

 

[Temptation]

This has always been a competition we had a midas touch on. Can't believe it!!

Give us the Real Madrid Black Magic Power!!

 

[fergus90]

Biggest fold I’ve seen was the Ac Milan meltdown against Depor. But it would be a big shock for Liverpool to be knocked out considering their position.

They’ve had a great season but this is the 4th CL game this season they haven’t looked as strong as they usually do.

 

[ajnotkeith]

Every time an underdog wins people instantly point to complacency as if these guys aren't experienced world class players in their prime. What if Liverpool just aren't super invincibles?

Sometimes it's complacency, but Where's the credit for Villareal simply outplaying them so far? Liverpool have been poor technically and tactically, Villareal just superior so far.

 

[serghei]

Imagine if Villareal takes out Juve, Bayern, Liverpool, and Madrid/City for the title.

 

[Porque]

It's just 45 minutes. Villarreal could run out of steam, but we seen them put these type of performances up for 90 in El Madrigal before.

The question is what happens if it goes to XT where Liverpool have the deeper bench and added touch of quality upfront.

But early days still.

Liverpool fans just didn't know that Villarreal in their compact stadium know how to press and suffocate you. They expected them to be the same timid overrun team in Anfield. Big mistake, it's like Klopp didn't analyse the Bayern game.
