Champions League Quarter Finals 2023

Seriously mate - youā€™re at Kev levels at this stage.

Ok mate.

I believe so, but he didnā€™t carry himself well. Either way, Iā€™d hold him in some regard still.

Oh thereā€™s a list to be made here. Agree with all your clutch players, especially Etoā€™o who I think was criminally underrated. Scored some big winners for Barca and Inter at the business end of the champions league. Iā€™d add Saurez to the list, as well as some non-strikers (Andres Iniesta and Michael Ballack come to mind straight away).

Zlatan is the most anti-clutch player Iā€™ve seen. Stone useless when it mattered

If youā€™re moving onto non-strikers, youā€™d have to include Marcelo.

A horrific defender but stood up in the big moments to influence games (bar that WC semi-final).

Mark Viduka at Leeds was outstanding for a while. Proper front man.

Neymar is the definition of anti-clutch

he scored in the CL final

And was the key player in the greatest CL comeback ever.

He misses lots of big games but generally when heā€™s there heā€™s always trying to get on the ball and make something happen

Heā€™s done nothing in 6 years and didnā€™t step up to take a penalty when his country needed him.

He never played for Liverpool

Ronnie did the same in Euro 2012 against Spain

Ronnie has way, way more credit in the bank than Neymar.

Looks like Chelsea are going with a back 5, a couple of holding midfielders in front, 2 more centre midfielders in front of that & Havertz as the false nine. A sort of 5-2-2-1. Could be inspired by Lampard.

Thatā€™s a 5-4-1 formation mate. The likes of Andorra and Liechtenstein deploy that tactic.

Frank is the sort where itā€™s always funny to see him fail.

Tonight, it would be absolutely hilarious if he succeeded.

Real Madrid will win 0-2.

The Napoli game is the one to watch tonight
