    Must have already played their best matches of the season. The look a bit tired, maybe? The result from last week surely didn't help.

    One question for @Jobo - how shit were Barca on the night? These are pretty average at best from what I can see. They've scored 3 against Karius but one was a disgraceful decision from the ref and one a comedy OG.

    How on earth did Barca cock it up to that extent!?

    I thought the same Barca must really have been poor in the second leg of quarters.

    True first match was almost insurmountable to come back from for Roma, Roma are looking dejected now.

    Can Roma score 3 to make it interesting?

    Karius may as well have presented the ball on a plate for Dzeko

    As an isolated fixture, this match have been entertaining. Wouldn't mind some more goals!

    I think there will be more goals, some of the defending has been haphazard.

    Roma looks dangerous now, but all to late.

    To be fair it looks like we scraped over the line but 2 joke penalties and a comedy OG gives the score a flattering gloss.

    But why can't we just be not as shit at the back?

    Can see Liverpool winning it and simultaneously slipping into 4th in the league.

    The very question I ask about Arsenal every week. That one mistake have cost them the chance at a EL final (a tournament no one actually cares about, but still a final). A part of me actually hope the starting eleven have Mavropanos in it. He can't do worse than recent performances with the regulars.

    __________
    Congrats on the final, Liverpool fans!

    Just spend our entire transfer budget on Oblak and I'll be happy.

    Everybody will want him! Isn't Alisson (Roma's keeper) heavily linked with a move to Anfield, too?

    It's a given Ronaldo will turn up for the final to exploit both of them I am afraid

    Maybe Salah will turn up for the final.

    I think the final has 4 - 3 written all over it, I am a Man United supporter so I obviously want Real to win, one thing is for certain the CL Final will be a classic as this year defending has gone awol in the competition.

    Liverpool are never going to beat them with this fragile barebones squad, but most people are probably fed up of Real and their arrogance.

    I already answered that question, didn't I, when I said you would "be fine unless you went into a coma for 90 minutes, as Barca did"?

    Klavan and Karius are perpetually in a coma, hence our narrow escape. If there had been 5 mins of stoppage time instead of 3 we'd be out now.
