Anyone else think Jon Champion's commentary has been really placid?

Aye he was awful. One of the best games you will ever see and you would think he's commentating on carpet bowls.

Who's got it next year?

 

Will folk without expensive sky packages be able to watch?

 

I'm not sure. Amazon announced a couple of weeks ago that this was their last year showing the CL. 

[The Prophet]

Just caught up on Amazon. Wow! Both games have to be up there with the best I've had the pleasure of watching. Just pure footballing goodness from both teams for 180+ minutes. What a match up that was, brilliant.

 

Made even better by being able to turn off Alan 'I shout everything' Shearer from comms. Shame they dipped the crowd audio in that mode though.

Not sure, his side should be mopping up Serie A each season which it isn't.

Why should it be?

I work with an Inter fan who's from Milan and just told him the same. He's absolutely euphoric.

[TheBrownBottle]

Surprised by the Inter love-in tbh - a right-wing fanbase who were less than hospitable back in 2003.  Unless of course having flares, coins and bottles of piss thrown down at you is just a Milanese way of saying ‘welcome’

[Optimistic Nut]

5 years ago I'd watch these games thinking these are playing a different sport to us. I think our first XI would give both a good game now.

[elbee909]

From BBC:

"Inter raced into a 2-0 lead, only to be pegged by Barcelona."

 

Well that does sound like something one wouldn't expect from a football match.

See Barca are taking the defeat well. Pedri asking UEFA to investigate the referee and now the press have dug up a video from last year with the ref using a Real Madrid washbag.

Not a good look regardless of tinfoil hatting. Imagine the Scousers rage if the equivalent turned up with a Man Utd one for one of their big games. Victim crusade would be off the Richter Scale.

I'd be all for it though.

What we thinking tonight then lads? 

An Arsenal hiding. 

Or a noble effort but not enough. 

Or a famous win. 

[gbandit]

A famous loss for Arsenal 

[Sibierski]

Hope for a proper drubbing so I can see Arteta cry.

Man U just took a step closer to CL football with Maddison injury

not saying the ref was good or bad but I definitely don’t think Pedri is in any position to point this out after the weasel stuck his tongue out after conning a FK just before the end

Mind you he's out all the time that lad. Glad we didn't get him. 

[Kid Icarus]

I want an unlikely Arsenal win, anything that makes our match with them easier.

[andycap]

Sour grapes from the Spanish contingent, both have been sent packing this year and both have complained about refs the opposition etc. 

Bunch of cunts. 😂 

[Kilcline]

PSG will smash these to pieces tonight

Cannot help having shearer on Co comms mind and clattenburg. 

No chemistry at all.
