Perfect start for Arsenal vs Rennes with Auba opening the score. Maitland-Niles makes it 2-0 (from Aubameyang's cross) and Arsenal have already made up their deficit. Long way to go, but it's been all Arsenal as they've dominated this game from the off.
So do we want Arsenal to take a morale hit and crash out or to pull this out and hope fixture congestion slows them down in the league?
Want them to go as far as possible: those Thursday night games vs tougher oppo are to our advantage. Auba makes it 3-0 and breaks out the Black Panther mask for his Wakanda Forever celebration. Kolasinac is not the greatest defensively, but at the other end, the guy is mint: a combo of his and Shaw's best attributes would make one hell of a LB. 1106308364231946240 is not a valid tweet id

https://streamja.com/5Zdg Grimaldo's goal for Benfica earlier today. I don't need to see or know anything else about his game. Sign him up, now.

Champions League 1/4 draw Ajax Amsterdam vs Juventus Turin Liverpool vs Porto Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City FC Barcelona vs Manchester United Whether it's the FA Cup or the CL, the road has been hard. No reason it would change now: bring it. Have nothing to lose, so let's give it a real go. The winner of our tie will face the winner of Pool v Porto, with the winner of Ajax v Juve facing the winner of Spurs v City in the other semi.
Actually, it looks like the first leg apparently will be at OT. "Worth remembering that Manchester United will play their tie against Barcelona at home first so that they and Manchester City do not play their second legs at home in the same week." Reason for United having their tie changed is because they finished lower than City in the Prem last season.
I actually don’t mind this. I’d rather play the second match away from home because then you know how many away goals you need.

Messi is definitely scary, but this isn't a great Barca team. We are definitely underdogs, but us getting through wouldn't be the biggest upset.
As a general rule, the second leg at home is what you want. But in this case, I really don't mind playing the return game at the Camp Nou, as our away form since Ole took over in all comps has been superb. No matter the result at OT, as long as we don't lose, I feel we have a shot.
Very little... Barca are not PSG. Mbappe may be a generational talent, but he's not Messi. He's not Suarez, not yet. Also top 4 is the priority. There's no joy in winning this tie, then losing our next league game.
