Yeah.

But Barça doesn't even make it far enough to get spanked by the big boys like this Not even an easy draw this year could save you from imploding.

celebrating, he's a PSG fan tonight

Going to be completely honest here, if Madrid are to be knocked out tomorrow, today makes me feel absolutely better.

If Madrid gotta go, those two jokers should be gone too. Only fair.

Yeah.

There are certain blowouts I have forced myself to forget, too much trauma so as far as I am concerned, that is photoshop and fake news.

I love Aruajo, but he cost us that match. Very disappointing. Hopefully we don't buy Cancelo either.

This could very much be PSG year unless Madrid goes through.

This summer will be interesting and very important for us I do feel you got some good blocks to build off of.

Lol @ admins? This lame fker at it again, can he continue to abuse me like this? Not surprise Pedram has been like this for a decade here n nothings been done Maybe I just piss him off too much

I dont mind too much though, I expected us to get beat... not to mention the red. Bookies actually had Barca as second favs behind Man C which was laughable

Dortmund despite so shit is in the CL semis lol? So PSG definitely going to the final. Enrique vs Pep would be cool, Mbappe v Haaland final already?

This game goes to show if Enrique doesnt muck around n just put out a standard team, PSG can be a top team.

Araujo has been great, but what a fk up by him... n it showed we couldnt hold it together without him. Dont blame the players though, couldnt have asked for much more given the circumstances.

We could do the funniest thing tomorrow and eliminate City, imagine the salt from our haters.

Collective orgasm? U r indeed a fked up individual, didnt realize to this extend XD Delusional XD Ur the saliest hater Ive seen too actually, been at it for a decade no? Pretty sure only a pathetic lamer r u would actually get orgasm watching one of the worst Barca n Atletico get knocked out lol, anyone paying attention wouldnt be surprised at all. Real got some voodoo magic all the time but prolly wont save u from getting beat by Man C tonight. Even if Real manage that there would be salt from us rival fans cos we seen it all happen b4 n Real is a top team.

What a dumb foul by Araujo when you lose your best defender so early you got very little chance to win.

On the other side Bradley Barcola is one big talent to watch

PSG is a big boy, they have a great team and they made several high-profile signings just last summer, Luis Enrique also has experience in winning the CL.

And we would've won if not for the card, with 2 kids at CB and RW. We scored one early and were on the wave to score another. I am disappointed, but still impressed because I know we would've advanced bar a stupid mistake.

Man City needs to win the big double again, because if Arsenal win the Prem and Mandril win the CL football will surely have lost.

It was definitely a red, and not a penalty as well. To make such a perfect call quickly like that in a very high stake game and in front of the home crowd no less, bravo to the ref honestly.

Before the red though, and just like the first leg, I felt Barca was having the upper hand and probably would've won if it wasn't for that red card.

I was particularly impressed with Vitinha and Barcola. Dembele also had a good game. Wasn't impressed with Mbappé at all and just like the first leg, he was barely visible and completely shut down.

They should be able to get past Dortmund and into the final. However, bar a 180° change in their play from now until the final, I don't expect them to win it.

For City-Madrid tonight, I expect City to advance but I would love to be proven wrong.

This ref worked against us not gonna lie

Nobody rates PSG which I understand, since nobody watches them n the usual dismissal due to the farmers league reasoning, but they not the first time have been incredibly lucky with the draw - Real Soc, worst Barca in yrs, worst Dortmund in yrs, has to be one of the easiest routes ever to the final Meanwhile having the best player in the world, n a very underrated squad of players, whichever way u look at it, this means they just need to pull off a top performance in the n some luck in the final to pull an upset, who knows, will be interested to see the bookies odds come the final, prolly v Man C.

It's kind of comforting knowing that some things never change, like Xavi being a sore loser. Loved him as a player but he always had this side.

FIFA introduced new rules to prevent GKs from “unfairly distracting” penalty takers, a possible reaction to Martinez's antics in the WC final. I think this is what the ref was trying to enforce here. Not sure what constitutes "unfair distraction" tho.

So the keeper can't warm up his body before such a big moment? How is weaving arms around distracting the shooter, it is literally the keeper's entire and only job

Can't convince me otherwise, the ref was just trying to be difficult and was working against us

1-0 Rodrygo

We can win this. City will dominate possession, but the don't always do something with it.

Ridiculous Pep has benched Alvarez again. Started him all season only to change now?

Kane missing most of the match

De Bruyne makes it 1-1
