UCL 17/18 Knockout Rounds (Draw and Matches)

I'm glad Liverpool got embarrassed the way they did.

Just to reiterate, karius threw the ball at bemzema and the ball hits him ansd goes in.

But wait it gets better, he started complaining!!!

The second goal, bale scored a bicycle kick... FROM THE TOP OF THE 18 YARD BOX!!!

And finally, I can't even blame karius on the third goal, what's he wear? Adidas? They provided him with a defective product, uefa must take not of that and remove them as a sponsor at once! The man had a hole in his glove!!!
 
It’s already been said 30 times in this thread but Sergio Ramos knew exactly what he was doing when he didn’t let go of Salah’s arm as they crashed into the ground.

I couldn’t give 2 shits about Liverpool but that was some dirty shit with World Cup less than 20 days away.
 
"So: do you block the madness out, or let it in? Real Madrid are very much from the blocking school. At a club like Madrid, it’s the only way. The world outside their imperial hall of mirrors holds very little interest for them. You could tell as much from their lordly pre-match statements, the glazed and distant expressions on their faces as they entered the stadium: headphones on, shutters down. This was about them, and them alone.

"Liverpool - and in particular, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, are in many ways the opposite. They want to move and they want to be moved. They want to connect, they want to stun, they want you to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. It’s how they can get gubbed 4-1 at Wembley and 5-0 at the Etihad, and then play the sort of football that makes you want to grab people and force them to watch."

"...a good way of thinking about this game is as a battle between sanity and insanity. Real Madrid began sanely, trying to control the game, drawing the sting, playing the ball and not the occasion. Liverpool, by contrast, threw open the curtains and let the madness in."

There was absolutely nothing embarrassing about Liverpool’s performance.

I know you’re just trolling, but come on. That statement is prima facie absurd.

I thought they played well, they pinned down Real and didn't sucker into their game which La Liga teams and Juve do.

the embarrassment was the goals. IDK about you, but Benzema deserves a Puscas award. along with all other goals, as described, embarrassing to let up.

Interestingly, I feel like the CFG approach is very much like the Madrid approach, however we crack under pressure all the time.
 
The problem is, Midas, that it gets harder to pay attention to your more sensible postings while you do that. You're digging your own hole. Or perhaps you don't mind people ignoring you.
