They all look the same

Barca didnā€™t capitalize on the first half dominance

Nope they didnā€™t. Bayern are a fine side.

Heā€™s after coming on here Juhy. The Catalan kidnappers are really playing hardball now

That was a beautiful assist for the second Leverkusen goal!

Good thread on Shakhtar ahead of this eveningā€™s early kick-off (5.45pm in Legia Warsaw).

Celtic played there in Borucā€™s testimonial a couple of months ago.

Starfelt is still injured and McCarthy didnā€™t travel due to illness, but heā€™s way down the pecking order now. Abildgaard wonā€™t be involved, as heā€™s still getting up to fitness.

Mykhaylo Mudryk is apparently Shakhtarā€™s next big thing and a main danger man. He plays as a winger.

Haksabanovic starts.

Interesting. Iā€™m calling that a surprise.

I didnā€™t commit it to writing, or indeed verbalise it, but I had a thought during the Real Madrid game that Haksabanovic might eventually join Jota as a first choice winger. Abada has an excellent scoring rate and has a natural ability to get into scoring positions in the box from a starting wide position, but he perhaps lacks something in traditional winger/dribbling play and hard running power needed in modern game. Maeda is looking like he might become a rotation player and be useful as an attacking utility player, but he doesnā€™t have the ability of the other three. Haksabanovic looks like he has the attributes to create and score and get up and down the pitch. But yes, probably a surprise that heā€™s forced his way in a CL starter already.

I met @The_brisbane_lion this morning.

I asked her what she made of the new king.

ā€œStone the flamin crows DB. Ange has been around for yearsā€ was the reply.

I had to hold my hands up and say fair dinkum.

Mon the Hoops :ireland:
