Ronaldo's red card


Lyon's first goal


Lyon's second goal (Fekir's brace)

 
Now seen it on BT and that red card looked really harsh. Not sure if it was for the elbow or the hair pull. Both were not particularly violent.

I think the order goes English refs > German refs > Spanish refs.
Although we send our worst referees to CL games for whatever reason. Brych and Aytekin... :wenger:

Supposedly, the red wasn't for the head touchng, but something that happened ahead of it. Tripping him or something. Had to be a reason the fella wa on the ground the first place.

Ronaldo sent off, City two goals down, it's been a good day for United outside of our own game as well :lol: A Valencia win would be the icing on the cake.

Why would you want a Valencia won though, that would put them right in the game, better have it a battle between two teams rather than three as Juve is likely to advance anyway? I think we want Juve to win today to get Valencia out of the game no?
 
That new angle - Probably a red yes.

Hopefully just a one game ban.

Draw imo!

...provided we win our next game against Valencia :)

He's been decent for us, but he has plenty of games exactly like this where he doesn't contribute either offensively or defensively. He's not shit all the time, but tonight is not the first time he's strolled around doing feck all whilst we are struggling. It's pretty telling a 32 year old David Silva is both further forward while we're attacking and deeper when we're defending and Silva himself has been really poor tonight.

Thanks. Would you want him as a first XI player or do you think he doesn't have enough quality?

The way Ronaldo has been going this season, I doubt Juve are weaker without him. We now have to face Douglas fecking Costa.

He raises his game against us. Remember the two times we played Real Madrid in 2013? Even if he isn't in form now he is extremely dangerous and probably would give our defenders the hardest challenge.
 
We should be winning this 5-0 by now

Fecking hell, we really do miss a goalscorer :(

Very rarely are there circumstances where I say I wouldn't want a big team to lose. This isn't one of them :lol:

I hope Mariano can get his first minutes tonight.

We should also bring Vinicius into the first team. I don't care if he's young, he looks class.
 
Bayern 2-0! What a goal by Sanches! Fantastic dribble from the deep in his own half and then finally a run of his is rewarded with a pinpoint cross. Simple finish.

Benfica crowd give him a standing ovation.
