I saw that. I would have loved for my boy Hugo Sanchez to have had a shot at it. I sometimes feel like he is overlooked and disrespected by many in Spain and in Europe in general. Hugo Sanchez was a monster in the 80s for Real Madrid. He was CR7 before CR7 was a thing. A true legend.

Porto is probably be the weakest team left but that home crowd is on another level.
Porto just lacks real fire power in the box, a player like Falcao, Dz臎ko, Lewandowski, etc, to finish the plays, Marega is good, and a physical beast, but lacks coldness and more importantly technical skills, even though he is our best forward.
The back 6 of Porto who played yesterday is world class nowadays, very strong. Casillas, Militao, Pepe, Filipe, Telles and Danilo as a holder miedfielder. Not even in 2004 we had a back 6 like this one.
Dzeko's 111th minute would disagree (3:40)
Nonetheless he is a great striker. Numbers don't lie.
Manchester City's April schedule is absolutely bonkers:
3/30: @ Fulham
4/2: vs. Cardiff
4/6: FA Cup Semi (potentially vs. Man U)
4/9: @ Spurs CL
4/14: @ Palace
4/17: vs. Spurs CL
4/20: vs. Spurs LEAGUE
4/24: @ Man Utd
4/28: @ Burnley
If they don't drop points during that run, then hats off...they definitely deserve the title. But they're already looking a bit spent and have had some muscular injuries lately...so we'll see.
No doubt about the technical and physical superiority of the Liverpool players, but Porto made a hell of a game and takes the decision to the Drag茫o match. It will be a hard mountain to climb but not impossible. The players gave it all (specially Alex Telles who made the 90 minutes with a back injury, my respect, what a warrior) and we had 3/4 chances at scoring.
Now, at least 2 penalty kicks against Liverpool by hand balls that where not signalled, plus a very dubious situation where Filipe is trampled by the Liverpool defender inside Liverpool box, also Salah should have seen a red card for stomping on Danilo, not even a yellow was shown... with all of this, my question is what is the VR worth for?
Holy shit, what a time to be alive. I never thought I'd see something like this again. I don't have any memories of 1995; I only started following football during the 1998 World Cup. This is the best CL result since 1997. It started with qualifier games way back in July 2018. Now we've beaten two of the best teams in the world in the knock-out stages. How far can this go? It has to be done now, because all the world's top teams will pillage our squad in the upcoming summer, with Frenkie de Jong already set for Barcelona.
Fantastic play by Ajax, utterly deserved win for sure. Juventus was no where. This shows you what a team can achieve when they have a top youth quality, a strong identity and vision and are not afraid to spend to get some leading quality players. An example for many teams.

That penalty call on TAA would have been incredibly harsh. Allison was trying to put the ball out for a corner and TAA was very close. But of course I've seen those given.
I thought Mane's offside goal early in second half was even. Was very surprised they didn't call the ref to go see it himself.
Agreed re: Porto though. They were impressive and gave a great account of themselves. Marega was wasteful in front of the net, but definitely a handful to play against.
I think you guys will unleash hell on us early tomorrow night with Dragao behind the team and wanting to avenge that 5-0 humiliation of last year. Still expect us to go through in the end, but it won't be a walkover for sure.
That Ajax though...to go to Turin and completely dominate and dick on Juve is amazing. Watched the match and honestly, a 2-5 scoreline wouldn't have been unfair. Shows to prove romance of football isn't dead even in times where money dominates the sport and majority of success stories.
Arsenal and Man Divided will have a great run in the Europa next season before getting knocked out in the round of 32. Enjoy Thursday night football bitches!! Dumb fucks should of listened to Mourinho and canned drama fucks like Pogba. With love from the blue sky. #AlwaysBlue.

Liverpool with what could be their biggest home win in decades, on the verge of knocking off Barca and heading to the CL final, they made up the 3-0 first leg deficit and lead 4-0 with 10 min left.
