Celtic played like Rangers in disguise and Lazio held up banners like Rangers in disguise.

F Nazio.

Anyways, I thought Celtic played halfway decent until the end. Just lack that cutting edge upfront at this level.

I am going to have no nails left after this Arsenal game.

Do you?
lol

Dels · Post 13-03-24 00:53

They're still there, lol. I think that the penalty shoot-out not being too stressful helps.

Don't tell Inter about penalties..............

Was actually disappointed they lost last night due to race to secure 5 CL places for next year.... (though ironically the result on the night counts as a draw for the co-efficient!).

I just can't bring myself to want Inter to progress even at the expense of the 5th place. Anyone else in Italy yeah though. I didn't want them doing a CL and Scudetto double, never hear the end of it. Mainly because of the imminent cardboard second star.

That was as entertaining as I thought they'd be.

Disappointed that Arsenal couldn't get the home win, I had been seeing pundits etc say Bayern aren't what they usually are, Arsenal should win, which is true, Bayern are a bit shite this year. But to write them off in the CL is madness, it might be all that they can win, I wasn't surprised at all we didn't win. Think it'll be another close one in the return leg.

My sentiments exactly.

Why Serge, why ?

Tough night for the defence.

I had a nightmare PSG won it. Felt so real. I had to check the news as soon as I woke to make sure I hadn't been asleep for two months.

verno · Post 22-04-24 22:12

Who would be your least worst ? Do you still like Madrid ?

Dels · Post 23-04-24 02:08

My preference would be Dortmund. Then Real.
If it was between PSG and Bayern, I genuinely think I wouldn't care.

verno · Post 23-04-24 23:31

Agree.
