Hits Le Fee's hand in the build up so I'm sure those Mackems that said our goal against Spurs shouldn't have stood will be consistent and agree with this not standing too

Ours was worse, not even close They ignored the rules to give a penalty against us (literally the next night they overturned a penalty that was given on field which was identical to what happened to Tino)

Considering the penalty Barca got it's definitely harsh on Benfica

Goal stands, Barca win it 5-4 Brutal on Benfica

I reckon that will be given as a penalty to Benfica

Surely VAR will look to see if i's a pen to Benfica?

That looks a pen to Benfica? Then Raphinha goes and scores the other end

That was a good tackle by De Jong, ref gives a free kick and a yellow card

Decent save from Szczesny but that should have been 5-4 to Benfica

4-4 Eric Garcia equalises This has been a mental game

Own goal from Araujo, the defending on show has been comical

If they do come up Isidor and Le Fee will become permanent signings, so they are committing a decent chunk of their budget to them They'll need to buy some better players if they aim to stay up

He needs to retire at half time

And now Szczesny has conceded a penalty, Barca defence all over the shop

This Barca high line makes the Spurs one look like childs play

That goal Barca conceded, what a farce

Good save from the Monaco keeper, though Watkins should really have got them level

Should Martinez do better with that save? Palm it over or away, maybe I'm being a bit harsh

Singo gives Monaco the lead

I understand the table and how it works, it's more remembering where teams are sitting is not so straightforward I know it's easy enough to check via apps/online but first world problems and that

They aren't one of the PIF clubs (though not naive to there likely being some conversations taking place) I think their current keeper is injured and maybe thought let's just look at a club that has lots of them

I think there have been far more interesting matches we would not ordinarily get due to the seedings but then with it being a massive table it's not so easy to understand the jeopardy and keep up with what's needed As a neutral I think I do prefer this slightly to previous years as there has been more matches I've wanted to watch but it's probably one of those we can't properly judge until it's complete and maybe even need to wait a couple of editions to see if it's better I'm well aware the primary motive for UEFA is money but it's possible for them to get what they want out of it and it end up being a better format too

Madueke with the goal and that's game over, thanks for nowt Wolves

Damn, Cucurella scores

I thought Petrovic was decent for them last season when he played, certainly better than Sanchez
