Yes but under the old format you wouldn’t have been good enough to qualify for the competition and you would have been knocked out by PSG on away goals. It’s just easier now. It gives you too many chances…

Also get rid of the "drop down into lower comp" Clause

So if you don't get to champs league oh you can still have Europa

Same with Europa to conference

Its just a bit odd .. keep them separate would be better

That’s just typical of how UEFA have watered down the euro comps. It’s all about more games for the telly.

It's also about keeping the money flowing to the big clubs

Imagine if one of the big boys didn't qualify for next round would cost them so much

But would boost interest in the "lower" Comp

A shame


World class save from ederson

Lukaku has had a shocking couple of minutes there.

Congratulations to Man City

Ederson has had a decent night of it. Those last couple of saves were just class, not least the clean take through a crowd of bodies.

Why do Italian Teams wait till they go behind before they start playing?

 

[Piece]

A crap City were still good enough to win.

Congratulations to City!

Was going to post this myself.
but think City just pegged them back.
plus they gave the ball away to easy.

Had to laugh at that last corner when they had everyone in the City box, as oppose to them all being in their own box for 89 mins.

Just like the game in midweek once the other team score the Italians go for it and look decent

If Seville had scored first in their final bet Roma would have gone for it more
