PBP: The 2024-25 Champions League Match Thread

What subs do you want, and when?

 

Raphinha! Great goal.

 

Game opening up...
And penalty for Dortmund. Their #9 is a big time diver, but he was pushed a bit there.

 

You can see the players losing focus since the PK.

 

Flick, make some changes.

 

total dive. Cubatsi touches him and he falls

 

Maybe, but rhe easiest call to make is when a defender shoves an attacker, and extends his arms.

Whether its soft or not, every ref on earth is gonna call that on the away team.

 

Fermin and Ferran getting ready to come on

edit: Frenkie too

 

Flick is totally gonna wait til minute 80 before he makes changes, right?

Edit: I'm surprised he's doing anything so early. (For him)

 

Ugh! Raphinha seems to have hurt his left leg. And then for some reason took a corner kick with that leg before coming off.

 

Shark attack!!!! that's 3 goals in his last 3 appearanves

 

And of course, Flick had to have his thumb shoved up his @SS before making the change.

Ferran!!

 

Goal - Ferran! Another goal started by Yamal. A bit lucky that the Dortmund defender took a nap, otherwise Ferran would have been way offside.

Let's see if we can hold a lead for more than a few minutes.

 

The reality is, when you start with this XI, every sub is a downgrade. He could have left the original XI in for 89 minutes, imo.

We will be lucky not to lose now.

 

Can't hold on to a lead.

 

Look, a FRESH member of the 1st XI >>>>>> the bench.

However, a FRESH player off the bench is >>>>> a member of the 1st XI, after the 1st XI have been running for 60 minutes.

 

Ferran!!!

Ok: no more fvkcing offside trap for the last bit of this game, flick.

Make another change.
