He wants extra time to chat to Sir Chips.

 

Oy, what a way for Wenger to go out. He deserved a win in many ways, but in others a disappointing draw says it all.

 

a 1-1 result in the home leg of an aggregate series is not a death knell. Just means you need to score on the road. But they should have done better, given the length of time they had a one-man advantage.

 

Indeed they should have, and Atletico isn't exactly the ideal place to go when you have to chase the tie.

 

That save from Alex McCarthy, though. Wow.

Could end up being the difference in relegation

 

Another game of lets defend terribly & make City look like the best team in the world from West Ham.
Back 4 ball watching, awful clearances, no pressing, poor tracking, so bad. Disgraceful performance.

 

Ferro de General Pico, in Argentina's Fourth Division, have a better GK kit than your club.

 

I've not been this worried about a semi since Brokeback Mountain.

 

I was expecting him to retire, not move... I thought he had a lifetime contract at Barca.

 

No need to panic yet.
Everything is as it was.

Don't even have to score really, though one more goal from Liverpool would probably kill the tie.
They still need 3 at least, can't see it happening

 

And there you go

 

ugh. Rooting for Liverpool in the Final ... I don't know if I can do it.

 

With your record, please don’t.

 

Barring some kind of catastrophe, this tie is done.

Roma left it too late to put in a decent performance.

 

Andrew Robertson; relegated with Hull last year, barring injury starting in a champions league final this year. Kloppo can spot a player.

 

Who will the ref support in the final? It can't be both finalist at the same time.

 

Should be a good game.

Both sides rather lucky to get there in the end, but you need a bit of that.

The outcome really depends on which Liverpool turns up.
Madrid will struggle with the attacking threat, but could punish a defence that twice conceded two goals in the last 10 minutes.
