It sucks there's no one else besides the fucked up player who can make those calls.

That was a grim scene with Vertonghen.

I figured at that point that Ajax would win 4-0 or something. As it is, I am pretty confident for the 2nd leg. Spurs have Son out there instead of that piece of shit Llorente, they score at least one goal. That Ajax defense is ripe for the picking.

Can we all agree "looks more like he faced nose-ax today" worked a lot better before Vertonghen's injury turned scary?

I watched highlights, and they didn't even show the injury. Sought it out, and in a short clip with no commentary, it looked like he got a cut on his nose that bled a lot. What am I missing?

The head bleeds a lot (as my 12 year old can tell you after splitting his scalp last week on a trampoline, requiring 5 staples), and JV was quite bloody, and writhing around pretty bad. It took a long time to clean him up, and somehow he was let back on the field. He didn't last long before saying that he couldn't continue.

So it just looked scary because all he blood? The edit I saw, it seemed like a small cut and a lot of blood. Didn't know if there was an additional concussion or something.

Poch said he cleared concussion protocol, but he looked pretty out of it when he asked off the pitch.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed May 01, 2019 10:42 am

Yeah, watch when he's being taken off. Starts to pass out on the field and has to be kept upright.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed May 01, 2019 10:43 am

Also, Iker Casillas is fine but suffered a heart attack in practice today.

It was a nasty collision with Alderweireld. Tons of blood and he looked out of it. They patched him up and a couple of minutes he came back on the field and within seconds signalled that he had to come off. When he got to the sideline he almost collapsed and then bent over to puke. Almost fell a couple of times.

DAZN had a camera on him the whole time. It was scary.

Welp, pencil Barca into the final.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed May 01, 2019 3:45 pm

Die-rpool.

Post by **brian** » Wed May 01, 2019 3:46 pm

Of course, Liverpool almost answered with what would have been a crucial goal.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Wed May 01, 2019 4:07 pm

Yeah. After all this, put my firmly on Team Fuck Away Goals.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Wed May 01, 2019 7:49 pm

Messi. What are ya gonna do?

Best ever

Someone at Deadspin posted this:

So...Messi is the 4th leading scorer against the Big 6 in the Premier League...despite never actually playing in the Premier league.

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Thu May 02, 2019 12:26 pm

Pretty sure that was BEFORE yesterday's match, and that he's now tied with Hazard on 26.

9 v Arsenal
6 v City
4 v United
3 v Chelsea
2 v Tottenham
2 v Liverpool

(That's since 2011-12.)

It is 26, and that's in 33 games.

Aguero's incredible total would be in approximately 80 games.

Liverpool never says die - a solid first half.

But this Shaqiri looks lost and hopeless out there.

Pruitt · Post by **Pruitt** » Tue May 07, 2019 3:15 pm

You might want to watch the last 40 minutes of this game...

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Tue May 07, 2019 3:22 pm

Best case is another Liverpool goal followed by a Barca stoppage time away winner.

For you? Not stoppage time, you want the full extra 30 to wear them out.

Nah, they win Sunday either way. This is for max pain.

This feels like a Holy Shit game.

That 2nd Origi goal is one of the greatest I have ever seen. Unfuckingbelievable.

Stunning.

They abused Barcelona in this game. Incredible.

tennbengal · Post by **tennbengal** » Tue May 07, 2019 4:04 pm

The entire sequence on the go ahead goal is one of the coolest things I have seen on a pitch. Alexander-Arnold is a genius.

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Tue May 07, 2019 4:07 pm

I wonder if that was at all planned. It didn't seem like it, but...

DaveInSeattle · Post by **DaveInSeattle** » Tue May 07, 2019 4:08 pm

I just got out of a meeting, where I was following the game on my phone. Can't wait to watch the 2nd half now.

I'm watching it over and over again now - it looks like Alexander-Arnold and Origi made brief eye contact as A-A walks away but before his quick turn to the quick kick?

That celebration in front of the Kop brought tears to my eyes.

caught up on the 2nd half now. Just stunning. Cannot believe that Barca fell apart like that.

Didn't watch last year's QFs?
