Ah fuck, so close. Insane games and moments. We battled through the "Group of death" and took it to the last game. It's a bitter moment right now, but man, so many class emotional moments.

Tough to take, we clearly can mix it this level and did enough to have progressed on another day. The situation with the injuries has really made this so hard as we keep running out of legs and not having enough to switch it up with.

Sigh wish we'd made some sort of europe. At least part of me feels a bit less robbed from the PSG game considering we couldn't win this game and not winning at home against PSG and even a point against dortmund going through would be somewhat a fluke. 

 

We're not good enough, patience needed all round.

We really shouldn't have lost that man. What was Schar thinking running so far forward and leaving us short at the back? Just pass it man. 

Does it all the time and gets away with it, but he’s scored 2 great goal out of the amount of times he’s went forward and left us short.

Ah well, it’s genuinely been fun. I’m still really glad we got a tough group of big teams - can’t be upset by going out.  Love being back in Europe (though as ever, SJP utter shite on European nights.  Could hear a pin drop second half).  Better team won on the night.

 

For some of these players, that is likely that for this competition.  They’ve performed wonders getting us into it for this season, but it is clear how short some of them are in terms of where the club’s stated goals are.  Can’t fault any of their effort and commitment though. 

 

Onward and upward. 
 

MOTM - the referee

extremely unlucky draw this group. same in Carabao. brutal bad luck to face Dortmund, PSG, Milan and City, MU, Chelsea in CL group and first 3 rounds of Carabao. add to that our brutal shit luck with injuries and the Tonali fuck up.

 

all our CL opponents were seasoned CL teams, lots of experience, Paris game was a cheat ref keeping PSG in the tournament.

So irresponsible Schar just throwing away Europe altogether. Could have been competitive in the Europa league.

 

Schar was just being Schar, I think at 1-0 up maybe we didn't need to play such an open game considering it was Milan who needed to chase the game.
