To cap off a bad night, Barca miss out on 50m from the new club world cup

 

How is this calculated, exactly? We’re ahead of them in the league by a fair amount of points so leaving Europe at the same phase seems odd to be the decider.

 

I’m not sure even FIFA know

 

I actually saw an article this morning. It's only the last four years of European results... so that tracks.

The remaining European slot goes to Arsenal (if they win the UCL) or Salzburg if y'all don't.

I'm sure those marketers really wanted Salzburg over Arsenal or Barca, haha.

 

this is what the past couple weeks have felt like

 

So torn between which game to watch tonight. That said, I don't think it's possible to make a wrong choice here such is the quality on offer. In before split screening by the way. I can never focus on the action if I do that lol.

 

City - Madrid whilst there's hope that they'll lose, then switch once City are 2-0 up and the tie is over.

 

Our history in European competition makes me think I'm in for a rough evening.

 

That Real Madrid goal doesn't happen without Bellingham's first touch.

 

is there a consensus best referee?

 

Is Bayern’s pitch always an absolute ice rink or are they scared?

 

Arsenal started slow but they’re growing into this. Think they’ll win tonight.

 

Mateu Lahoz ofc

 

Did they really boo at the etihad? Holy fucking shit that’s hilarious

 

i hope one of these games goes 120 minutes or penalties

 

These are extremely tough ties for me...

Man city are serial dominators of the PL so I don't want them to win the CL 2 in a row but do I want Real madrid to win another?

The other... I like what Arsenal has done over the years, and the patience they've shown, and would love to see a reversal in their recent fortunes... but Harry Kane missing out on the seemingly easy Bundeslia and getting the biggest trophy of all instead would be cool... and plus Tottenham connections vs Arsenal...

Hmmm... I guess I'll just sit back and let the players decide.

 

I’d rather finish 5th and play Europa than Arsenal winning CL for us to qualify. Need Kane to get a goal and bury them.

 

Why have Arsenal just stopped playing this half? Very sloppy

 

Kimmich!

 

13 corners for City, 0 for Madrid is wild

 

We aren’t scoring in a million years. We’ve looked completely knackered in the last fortnight.

Run out of steam, and ideas, when it mattered.

 

Jesus is the worst finisher. He’s the least composed player on earth.

 

Omg Kevin.

 

Flop Madrid
