Sounds like Liverpool rode their luck. Why was Konate not sent off and had a pen awarded against him?

Anyway, will be a great 2nd leg

looking good so far.... extra time for Liverpool, TAA hobbled off. I want Liverpool to go through so that they still need to keep one eye somewhere else, but if Salah could manage a little groin strain, or something, to keep him out of the LC final, that would be most helpful

[Durhamfootman]

now Konate has had to hobble off

come on Mo... still time for a little groin strain... nothing dramatic you understand, just a week's R and R

Liverpool choke

2 of their first 3 pens saved. PSG just need one more


and get it

bye, bye

[Durhamfootman]

they even lost the two coin tosses to determine who went first and from which end

Liverpool go out, but Arsenal and Aston villa advance to the quarter finals.

Quarter finals aggregate scores

Paris 5-4 Aston villa
Barcelona 5-3 Dortmund

[mikesiva]

Inter Milan 4-3 Bayern Munich
Arsenal 5-1 Real Madrid!!!

I didn't expect Arsenal to crush Madrid so comprehensively!

[Durhamfootman]

Spurs, Man Utd and Chelsea all progress to the semi finals. None of them did it in convincing fashion, but they got there, nonetheless

Spurs appear to have doggedly clung on after being awarded a penalty by VAR

Chelsea lost at home, having effectively secured the tie in the away leg

Man Utd progressed with a 3 goal smash and grab theft over Lyon in the dying moments of extra time, despite completely falling apart in the second half of normal time..... Rodrygo-esque

A humdinger of a game last night. The best team lost imo but not much in it.

[mikesiva]

Semis

Inter Milan 7-6 Barcelona
Paris St German 3-1 Arsenal

[Durhamfootman]

Spurs win and Postecoglou does indeed win his 2 season trophy

For Man Utd? Nothing, just quite possibly their worst season in decades. Still, half their staff didn't have to endure the game, at least. I wonder if Sir Jim Personality bothered to turn up for this one? Ha...... what a piece of work he is

[Durhamfootman]

by the sounds of it, after getting their goal (which I understand was a scrappy thing), Spurs barely bothered to attack again. They seem to have decided that they could probably just sit back deep and trust that Man Utd didn't have a goal in them.... which they didn't

Europa Conference final

Chelsea 4-1 Real Betis

Great comeback win!
