Champion's League 23/24

It has now been announced by EUFA that the assistant VAR at last nights game has been stood down from this evenings planned duties. He shouldn't have called the ref over really and should have just said no penalty. I think the rules and guidance for an unintentional hand ball after the ball hits another part of the body first, as happened last night, need further clarification. It's one of those no, but, rules and that's where the confusion starts.

Outstanding game of footy happening between Galatasary and United. Had a bit of everything. A must win for United really. 2-1 United at the break.

Onana's purple patch ended in some style.

Watching the Bayern Vs Copenhagen game. It could decide whether United are still in the competition (albeit still out of their hands).

Is nice to see female refs in the champion's league. Come a long way.

United still just about in it then. Only a draw will do in the other game and they need to beat Bayern.

Just watched the Real Madrid highlights. Jude Bellingham running the show at Madrid. 20 years old.

Southgate, don't mess this up.

I haven't seen any Bayern games, but I'm going to watch them tonight vs Man U. It will be interesting to compare Kane's positioning and performance with his Spurs days and, hopefully, it will be great fun to watch him get a hattrick and see Man U getting a jolly good spanking!

Bayern were already guaranteed top of the group. Had far less to play for than United (far less being the result didn't matter at all to Bayern).

Only thing worse than not qualifying for Champions League... is qualifying then going out in the group stage.

Gutted for United.

[dtaai-maai]

Yes, Man U weren't spanked and Harry didn't score, but Bayern didn't need to win and played accordingly, well within their capabilities.
Not a great game for the neutral, and I'm as gutted as Lost for United...

This could turn really ugly for Kane soon. Beating all sorts of individual records but... trophies .

Bayern have won the league every year, pre-Kane, for the past decade. This season they trail the leader's by 5 points. Out of all the domestic cups, and just got beat by Lazio in the Champion's League.

The curse might be real.

Hope he gets some silverware this year, bloody deserves it.

Kane playing role in bringing Eric Dier to Bayern might damage relations too.
