PSG were so basic man. Awful performance.

Neuer.

Man of the match.

He's the player we should have spent £40 million on last summer. Think he's absolute quality.

Good, 2 years is sensible both ways.

Smart move by the kid, certainly.

Ah man, feel sick for Lukaku. Been excellent in this competition. Oh well.

Luuk De Jong out here winning cups for Sevilla. Of course he is man

Still can’t look past the Jack Colback signing here like. He had an average season in his first year, even popped up with a few goals. See similar here.

 

No chance man. Hendrick at the very least has some size and strength and doesn't get pushed around like a small child.

 

Those years we had Colback and Anita as a midfield pair getting dominated and manhandled man. Lord have mercy. Deeply depressing moments.

 

Colback’s level was similar to Hendrick’s upto after his first season, like. He was just an average Premier League plodder. If Colback was Irish or Welsh I reckon he’d have 20 odd caps between say 2012-16.

I hear what you're saying. There was just something so pathetic about Colback's lack of stature and strength and how he got pushed around and dispossessed of the ball that I don't think will be an issue with Hendrick.

It's really what frustrated me most about Colback, rather than his general bog standard midfield play.

Fun game!

Missed a trick not pumping balls into him and instead having him use his feet.

Pretty sure we didn't give him the opportunities to use either

De Jong man ... can't even enjoy the final without being reminded of the incompetency of Newcastle

Yeah, it's embarrassing.

Nice and open final though.

James Pallota who was at Roma and who sold them for £532 million is still being mentioned as having an interest.

 

In the process of now selling his share in the Boston Celtics NBA team for $2.1 billion.

Would be happy with this. He is said to be consolidating for another football club venture. Whether that is us remains to be seen.

Yeah, interestingly the rumours originated in Italy way back in January. Fingers crossed man.

Too shitty for Newcastle though

We are such a tragic club. Make everyone look so bad

Looking forward to watching Joelinton bang goals for some spanish team in the final in 5 years time

Diego Carlos conceding pens in quarter, semi & final. Some record.

No way

Didn't even realise. That is disgustingly bad

Lukaku causing that defender big problems. Great pace and strength.

Scores the pen. Has scored in 11 consecutive matches in the Europa League.

You guys see the Ibrahimovic turning us down rumour yet? Was just as entertaining

Apparently Celtic won't let him leave, which is a shame. I think he's class, Odsonne Edouard.

Toko Ekambi man. So unlucky

Haven't seen much of Lyon up until these Champions League games.

I've liked the look of Ekambi due to the running and energy he brings, but he does seem to not be as much of a goal threat.

Any reason why he is in ahead of Dembele who is their top scorer?

Remember when this poor kid was on loan at West Brom under Pulis

Tragic stuff for Lyon

Outrageous goal for Gnabry.

Lyon are class man. Love their 3-5-2. It's so dynamic and direct.

I vaguely remember him being a goal threat at Derby and looking at his record I guess I was wrong. I still think it’s a solid signing given out situation and squad depth but I don’t see him ousting either Shelvey or Hayden.

 

He's a mixture of both but better than neither as individuals. Reckon they'll rotate the 3 of them (knowing Bruce he'll play all three and drop Almiron)

Yeah, could see him slot into midfield with Hayden and Shelvey in more of a 4-3-3 setup.

Almiron left, ASM right and goodness knows who at striker.

Neymar such a weasel trying to steal the goal
