I’ve not disliked the new UCL format this year up until this round which as a neutral I find wholly uninteresting.
Make it 32 teams and send the top half to the round of 16. Would also increase the stakes in the league phase further.

6 of 8 matchups are still quite open (at least on paper), City - Real at this stage - what's not to like? I am positively surprised actually.
 
@KirkDuyt :o

Selling your best player to your next CL opponent so he can score on you in under a minute...uuuuuh
 
Good thing we have a 17 year old debuting striker, because our entire team is injured or sick. Surely we'll get back in to this.
 
I think he's just bottled the contact and got out of the way.

Suffered for that cowardice.
 
I've been so starved of moments of skills that any player that decides to entertain or pull of a trick immediately goes up on my estimation. Good for Leao

 
Its absolutely so refreshing to see a referee not having any doubts and just giving an immediate yellow for an obvious dive for a penalty...
 
Feynoord player got a straight red after the game, didn’t see what for.
That's a crying shame too. He's the barely 18 year old we registered for CL before this roubd because the first 2 are out for the rest of the season.
 
Wait, I was getting drinks for the upcoming games after the whistle, came back and saw two red cards being given afterwards. What were they for? I can only guess the Milan and Rotterdam players had a bit of a go at each other after full time was called?

Very happy for Rotterdam. They were clearly the better team, and I love seeing them back on the big European stage. And it feels so, so good for the graceless diver to get sent off. Why people still try to pull that crap in times of VAR is beyond me. Does he expect not to get caught even if the ref falls for it?
 
Such a great result.. Insane to see how Feyenoord with so many absentees manages to put in such performances in the Champions League..

@KirkDuyt I genuinely believe Priske was 100% cheering for Feyenoord today..
 
Milan are gonna sell Theo so fecking hard this summer :lol:
 
Vanaken is so fecking good. 0-1 Bruges at Atalanta.
