Wonder what the extra 20seconds were for

Yea I was expecting him to whistle when they were passing in the middle of the pitch and 4 mins were full.

That is so us isn't it. Worked so hard and had a deserved win and something to take away from home and with less than ten seconds left on the clock we switch off and concede yet again.

 

So disappointing. Going there only needing a draw felt more realistic than needing to win.

don’t think we were naive. We had full control of the second half and it was right to go for a second imo, it’s what we have done in previous seasons to great success.

 

We just give cheap goals away with basic errors. Been doing it all season.

Even if we didn't go through we would have always had the memory of dominating Barcelona and beating them at SJP. All that taken away in a moment. It's almost worse than losing the tie itself.

Painful after all our hard running and good play and Olmo is obviously looking for it, but we were too frantic over those final few minutes and Thiaw has made far too many costly mistakes since early December.

Weirdly would have been happier with 0-0. I have serious emotional damage from this throwing leads away thing so it would have been a nice change.

 

The stakes are the same as they would have been at 0-0 though, it's a straight shoot out at their place to get to the quarters.

 

Think they'll annihilate us to be totally honest, bit going into it with a chance is still a great achievement, even if tonight feels like a missed opportunity at the moment.

Besides the usual not being able to hold onto a lead for more than a few minutes,which is just to be expected now, we were fantastic.

Positives to take from that. Far from over but it is in their favour after the late goal. At least away goals don't mean anything these days. 

The ref will be even worse at there ground.
