Coutinho's goal was a peach.

Messi's two could have been avoided especially the second.

Liverpool vs Barca semi should be a good one. Unless Porto spring a surprise but I doubt that.

Perfect finish to the City v Spurs....Pep running up the touchline celebrating only for VAR to intervene was comedy gold. A special moment.😎😂

*Coughs loudly* Liverpool to be well beaten then Ajax to win in Madrid is how I hope it pans out. The problem is that even if the Dutch side do win then they'll have a rebuiding job on their hands as they will lose at least two of their best players............. :dunno: :doh:

Anyone but Spurs.

But we all know Barcelona are going to win, let's not kid ourselves.

I'm not so sure tbh, as I don't rate that Barcelona defence..................always liable to concede a few goals at unexpected moments. Think of Manolas & Co last season for a quick refresher. :laughingpointing:

I don't think it's a great Barcelona team (compared to the one from 2008-2011), but Messi is always a difference maker and will likely lead them to another title.

I really hope Ajax do it though.

Well, I did not see that coming.

I have to take my hat off to Liverpool, just like I did with Roma last year. Totally deserved. Well done. :salute:

They'll be too busy right now coming up with excuses for Messi.

Glad when Messi goes out but gosh do I have a real loathing for Liverpool. UGH.

Let's see, teams I loathe.

Liverpool, Lazio, Rangers [sorry Dels], Pittsburgh Steelers, Boston Red Sox, LA Lakers and GS Warriors.

I am sure there is more but that's the top of my head

No offence taken winkface .
Even if that was Celtic last night I still would have applauded. I think I would anyone except Barca themselves, I remember being quite bitter when they beat PSG 6-1 to make a comeback. :lol:
Liverpool deserve all the praise, their players were warriors last night, fought for every ball and played Barca at their own game. Fair do's. I honestly wouldn't mind them winning this. Anyone but Spurs.

I'm also quite amazed that in this day and age of VAR, Luis Suarez manages to stay on for 90 mins. His shithousery is on another level.

I don't think it's a great Barcelona team, Messi aside. They're a long way off the Xavi/Iniesta team of a few years ago.

The 2 ties with Liverpool were very similar to the 2 with Roma last year. Get a big win at home despite the opposition creating plenty, and then be outfought in the away leg, looking lethargic in the process.

Come on Ajax!

I'm so gutted for Ajax. I think them and Liverpool have been the 2 best teams in the competition this season, so it'd have felt like the right final. An all-English final isn't appealing.

I've always felt that all those players should have stayed at Southampton to win something with them.
