The 2019-20 UEFA Champions League resumes this week with four Round of 16 matches: Manchester City vs Real Madrid (Friday 21h CEST) Juventus vs Lyon (Friday 21h CEST) Bayern Munich vs Chelsea (Saturday 21h CEST) Barcelona-Napoli (Saturday 21h CEST)
Manchester City won the match 2-1 and 42 on aggregate. Juventus won the match 2-1, but Lyon won on away goals. I hate that rule. I think that there should be a penalty shootout before the match, so if there's a draw, the shootout winner gets to advance to the next round.
Bayern Munich-Chelsea and Barcelona-Napoli are about to start. Couldn't one match be held two hours ago?
I simply don't understand , how, in an era of VAR that Lyon could be rewarded with a penalty. Juventus should've gone through, and CR7 should still be playing. Why are we fans being robbed and spending 2 hours of our time to watch a game when they can't get basic calls right?
Juventus defender #33 clipped the back heel of the attacker just as the clean tackle was sliding in. Clear contact, clear penalty.
OMG. I didn't watch any of it, in meetings all day, just following along on the net, but God, well and truly horrific for one group of fans. There's no way you come back from that.
Barça is clearly at the end of an era. I believe it should move forward and build the team around Griezmann as technical leader, but this isn't possible with Messi still around. Probably Messi's departure from Barça would help the club to renew itself. Now the real question is where could go Messi? He's the product of Barça training center, has played 19 years in the club, contributed to shape it entirely. Is Messi really able to adapt in another club, and which club would be financially able to pay for him?
Man City and United, PSG But I think inter Milan will end up with him they Have the Chinese backing them up and they have been waiting a long time for an opportunity to sign a marquee player
I can't find a thread for the final going on right now. Incredible, there isn't anybody commenting on PSG vs. Bayern? Or am I not finding it for some reason? Link?
I don't know how many members are fans of European clubs other than English clubs, Barcelona, and Real Madrid. The last post in the Bayern Munich forum was 15 days ago on August 15. The only PSG topic with posts this year is called "PSG tickets."
