Fantastic game. My worry is Liverpool have got the front 3 quality to beat Barca. They win the league and CL I’m deleting football.

I think Liverpool are favourites and I hate it. Need Messi to sink them first leg or I’m moving to a country without internet.

Taken from my TV set. The moment the pass begins. Look at the vertical cut of grass and take that angle (not straight up and down) from Aguero to the Spur. Is that offsides? To me that is not evidence enough to overturn the call on the field. Would love to hear why people call this offsides. I might be missing something but Aguero seems right on par with the Spur if you draw the line down the proper angle. No?

He’s offside mate

VAR - hate it. Dicking about for 2 minutes to see if its handball or not, awful

Yeah, ridiculous getting correct decisions. 
We should have left well alone & let Man C go through, with an offside goal.

I am rooting for Ajax from this point out.

@NapaAddick not offside?

It hasn't done that though has it. United beat PSG because VAR slowed the game down to a point where it looked like a deliberate offence had occured.

Don’t think the problem is with VAR at all. The handball law needs to be more transparent.

City to get a winner to cap off a mad game?

Only just got in so haven’t seen any of this game yet and the first thing I thought (after “wow, what a scoreline!”) was that the spurs strip isn’t different enough. Why can’t they find a strip a bit more different to light blue like, for example, anything that isn’t also light blue/turquoise?

Glad I wasn't the only one, who thought the kits clashed. Outvoted in my household.

I think if we are bringing in VAR that the offsides rule needs to be change to.... "if any part of the body is ONside, then the player is ONside." All VAR is going to do is take away 20%+ of all remaining goals, which I don't think is beneficial for the sport. Also, I think the NFL has it right, that there must be "substantial evidence" the call on the field was wrong to be overturned.

I guess I see the point that parts of his body are offside, and that means the ruling is correct, but I still think that parts of his body are onsides and the rule should be changed in the era of VAR from this point out.

What on earth are you talking about?

So first of all it wasn't offside and then, when proved it was, you are saying the rules are wrong?

Also, there is substantial evidence the call was wrong... he's offside!

Just admit you got it wrong.

Read it again if you don't know what I am taking about. I have an opinion. It's not about right or wrong. This is a message board. If you want facts, go to a science message board. Deal with it.

PS- yeah, he was offsides.

So now you agree that it is offside, but you think we should change the rules of offside!

I think you should stick to NFL.

PS it is offside not offsides. 

As long as Barca don't win the CL i'm a happy camper, in an ideal world i'd love to see Spurs win it, love Poch

Any part of his body except the arms and hands that can put the ball in the net from an offside position is offside. It’s as simple as that. So if his arm is outstretched beyond the last player it ain’t offside because the only part of the body you can’t score with is your arms down to your hands. And Aguero was offside. I am trying every zig zag to make him onside!

Amazing game, doesn't get much more enjoyable than that. 

PS the only games I can recall that were better, were our Wembley play off win & Liverpool's come back Champions League Final win. 4-5 from 4-1 down, wasn't it?
