2016-17 UEFA Champions League Thread

[Brend]

That is unbelievable. The best result in the modern CL era.

Take a bow, Barcelona.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Unbelievable. PSG will be shattered.

Emery has to resign if he has some dignity. Being ahead 4-0, you just CAN'T play the way you played today. Barcelona took all the chances they got, including the gift the ref gave them.

To be fair, he has done very well for his debut season and it was very unfortunate that PSG wasn't up for the game but it was quite bizarre to have Di Maria on the bench and Krychowiak should have started as well to bolster the midfield and give some height in the set pieces.

As an Arsenal fan, I admire PSG's bottlejob character.

 

[PzR Slim]

Fixed.

Definitely the penalty where Suarez dives down making it out that he was strangled even though it was just a touch on the back from Marquinhos. Terrible decision.

Paris Has Fallen - The Sequel to London Has Fallen

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Incredible game, Barcelona were very lucky and you have to feel for PSG

As a wise man once said: 'Football eh? Bloody hell!'

 

[GTFan24]

What a turn of events

 

[andrea]

I can't breathe

In the other game, Dortmund beat Benfica 4-0 to go through 4-1 on agg, Aubameyang with a hat-trick...

 

[GTFan24]

 

[AlvaroF]

Barça somehow actually turned it around and Benfica who actually gave a fight in a game that could've gone both ways still lost 4-0 (and it was their best performance in 2017 wierdly enough)

What a strange day this was.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

So many goals over the last two nights!!

21 in 4 matches!

 

[GTFan24]

They actually gave them a shoutout!

 

[Akmuq]

Football lost. 🤬 Barcelona. Cheats.

Arsenal didn't crash and burn, they simply bent over for Bayern, PSG actually put up a fight.

 

[Phoenix]

PSG actually put up a fight.

No they didn't.

They tried to stay back and defend a 4-0 lead against a very aggressive and in-form Barca team, and couldn't handle the task.

So they got whooped. Brutally.

Firstly I was talking about over two legs.

Secondly, still no. They created a few chances and just simply weren't good enough at converting them. I'm not a fan of xG use in football but this map shows that they didn't simply stay back and defend.

Don't get me wrong Barcelona were 100% the dominant team but to say PSG didn't put up a fight is wrong.
