Could have done without that.

Aye, but he looked wrong both times he instaflagged Nunez early on.Originally Posted by Ben
Some big ol' gaps in that City defence at times Atleti failed to capitalise on. Hopefully they grab 1 and shit their way to a victory on pens.
That'll do Pig.
Fernandinho not getting booked for that
We’ve let this fade away into nothing too early here. Need to wake up.
This Nunez lad will end up a big star for whoever signs him.
How’s that been given?
I'm a twit
Nunez is top class.
I reckon it might have been Konate playing him on, although it looked [miles] off.
You take a 'bad one' at 6-3 up every day of the week.
The Benfica lot reckon he's a proper donkey.
Massively outperforming his xG and Chelsea interested so I reckon he's nailed on to get a big move and fail. Probably to United.
How has Felipe been sent off but it’s a Man City throw in?
Never a red.
Because he was booked for the follow-through, at which point the ball was already out of play.
Atlético are just chaos. Savic sticks a nut on someone and stays on.
It was for the kick out on the follow through, not the challenge.
This is absolutely retarded from Atletico, they looked like scoring and then they've just taken all the momentum out of the game.
Atletico goal would be absolute scenes here.
Is that an /r/benfica hot take?
He looked top notch today. Built very well, finished everything that came his way too.
What is going on here?
Ref's blown about five minutes early there.
Fair play to City for giving Simeone's cunts a full dose of their own medicine.
Oblak is the only one with a bit of class.
Man City’s kit really is disgusting.
Aye, something ought to be done about it.
Sounds like it's all kicking off in the tunnel.
Savic would absolutely batter Grealish, surely.
I'm a twit
Alice band in bits apparently.
Liverpool have a habit of these odd almost-collapses at Anfield in the champions league. Roma a few years ago and Milan this year. That Darwin is some finisher (apologies to “the Benfica lot”).
Just lovely to see Atletico get a taste of their own medicine.
The pearl clutching over the last 20 minutes of the City game is pretty lol. I doubt I'd have glanced up from my phone if no heads had been lost.
One day Simeone will be confined to a street corner in Rosario, selling lucky heather, and the world will be a better place.
Yep. I’m not sure why the commentators get so appalled by Simeone and his team when 90% of people watching would want their team to care as much as his teams do to try and win.
When they were giving it handbags in the corner, the camera clearly picked up Grealish saying "you're a cunt" to Savic. If he registered that then poor Jack was fucked.
Apparently the Barcelona fans give no shits for the Europa League and so all sold their tickets to Frankfurt fans. It's pretty much like a home game for Frankfurt.
More than a club.
They're far enough behind in the league they may as well be all in on the Wafer a bash, the massive tarts.
Aye, seeded spot for next season's Champions League isn't to be sniffed at. Look where it's got Villarreal.
How does it work that they wouldn’t have a seeded spot regardless?
Need to win your league to be a top seed, or win one of the two main cups. I guess they'd probably be in Pot 2 anyway so, yeah, perhaps no great difference.
Also, after reading the thing on the BBC about James Tavernier earlier, is it going too far to see him as some sort of latter day Koeman-esque figure? His 'goal involvement' record is mental.
Looking at the teams left, I wouldn’t be surprised if Rangers actually win the whole thing. Hopefully a repeat of Manchester and they start battering the fuck out of each other in a losing final.
The taxpayers should spring for a special platinum trophy for the Jubilee year.
Have they drawn the semis for this already?
Can it be Rangers v West Ham final?
About 40 of them are penalties tbf
39, but 40 non-penalties.
How many defenders score 40 goals in a career?
Koeman did 99 pens in 253 goals according to google [or actually 103 scored, 6 misses, with 4 of those coming in an 8 month period in 88/89]

Surprised by that given how uefa normally operate. I would have thought big league trumped all.
Looks like the VAR and refs comms system has failed here.
Wonderful scenes in Barcelona.
Get fucked, dickheads.
West Ham and Frankfurt results are proper '25th season of a Football Manager 2018 game' vibes.
