    You still wouldn't bet against Barca winning 5-4 though

    Can't get my head around the average age if this Inter team.

    I’d take 13 goals in the play offs as long as we scored 10 of them

    Yamal is kinda like Saka but on steroids

    The terrible thing is, when he went for the strike at goal to make it 4-2 but hit the post, an older, wiser head would’ve taken the ball into the corner and eaten up a couple more minutes instead. As it happens, the ball went straight up the other end, Inter scored and were back in it. After going for glory, he may have cost Barca the game.
    The real shame of this outcome is that it reinforces that, if you want to win, your players have to kill the game rather than light it up.

    Barca do know they’re allowed to pass to other players than Yamal

    Absolutely brilliant. 

    The final will miss Yamal though

    Unfortunately for England, Yamal is on a completely different planet to Saka. Scary to think how good he’ll be when he’s Saka’s age.

    Great entertainment from both. Well done Inter.

    How’s your luck.

    Barca have Messi for 17 years. He goes and they immediately find the next Messi!

    You’ll be hard pressed to find many two-leg ties in European history that have delivered both quality and drama of that level. 

    It felt like bit of a throw back to a time when the game wasn’t all just about being conservative and playing sidewards 5 yard passes. 

    Just all out attack for 210 minutes over two legs.

    Yeah I can’t disagree with that. Trouble is the kid is only just out of nappies. At 17 he still has a lot to learn. I didn’t think he had any defensive nous at all. TC is a better defender than Yamal!

    Very similar game to Charlton v Crawley in December.

    Hope the two legged affair against Wanderers isn’t any where near as dramatic

    If Calsberg did Champions League Semi Finals .. they’d probably be the best semi finals in the world. What.A.Match

    Best 2nd leg of a semi-final in the CL by a country mile for all round entertainment...
    Not sure it was my favourite ever though... Lucas Moura might have something to do with that...

    Anyhow, I honestly think Arsenal beat PSG tonight.
    Partey is back, so Rice will revert to his usual no.8 role.  If they can somehow dominate midfield this time round, they'll create chances.  Its just a matter of whether they can be clinical enough.  They'll be up for it tonight.

    I can see it going all the way to pens, think it's 1-0 in normal time to Arsenal. They've been sleep defensively last couple games but think they get it right tonight and nick a goal

    Remind me about Messi's defensive abilities?

    Or Mo Salah who said last week that he spoke to Slot earlier in the season that he would score plenty of goals and assists as long as he doesn't have to expand too much energy chasing back and defending, other than corners or set pieces.

    I didn't see the match last night but it sounds similar to the 1st leg which was an excellent spectacle and the kid Yamal is another Luke Littler 😀

    Arsenal have started very well here and should be 1-0 up already. PSG have barely got out of their half in the first 5 minutes.

    Donnarumma already made 2/3 fantastic saves

    Brilliant save by Donnaruma, Arsenal well on top early on.

    It's amusing how the long throw has reappeared at the highest level. Tony Pulis was years ahead of his time.
