Champions League - Round of 4

Am I right in thinking they have never lost a European Semi Final at Anfield? - did they lose the year of JAR’s own goal?

1-1 draw

Barcelona will crater when Messi retires. Their high profile signing in the last few years have been disastrous.

They’ll have to spend big again this summer. They’ll probably end up with half the Ajax team

They’ll just find another wunderkid and pump him full of HGH as well. `

Delighted for Couthino — he all but went on strike to force his move - threw the pram so he did… No issue with Suarez - he was loved at Liverpool for being a cunt and always gave his all.

They’ll have to buy a whole team. The best players are all the wrong side of 30, Messi, Suarez, Busquets, Vidal, Rakitic, Pique, Alba. And the others they played last night are fuds. Coutinho, Ter Steven, Sergi Roberto and Lenglet.

They’re toast.

Liverpool had one player over 30 on the field last night. Milner.

Had any team ever over-turned a 3-0 deficit in a CL semi final before?

Suarez helped in tapping Coutinho up. He even rented a house in his own name for him down the street from his own in advance of the move.

Panathinakos lost 4-1 away to Red Star Belgrade in 1971 and beat them 3-0 at home in the return leg. They went on to lose the final to Ajax (just saying).

they’ve already signed Frenkie De jong. They’ve signed another 18 year old midfielder from Groningen.

They are supposed to be in for Willian from Chelsea, Richarlison from Everton and Juan Mata, bizarrely

So are Madrid

La Liga’s best days are behind it

The football balance of power is moving north again

Ah, lovely

The same luis suarez who tried to force a move to arsenal. Fowler is right, hard to believe Liverpool fans respect him.

Another Liverpool FC historian…place is flooded with them.

It was referenced last night that Barcelona lost 1986 semi final first leg 3-0 in Gothenburg, won the return leg 3-0 then advanced to the final on the lottery. Very close to a Steau Bucharest v Gothenburg final.

The desperation off that is horrendous, Smithers.
