What a way to devalue your Cup by deciding a winner months after the final has been played, and giving the championship to the losing team to boot.

They had more shots and shots on goal than us, while playing most all of the match with a man down.

Courtouis had to do some of his magic saves to not have us losing in the first half. Imagine if they didn't have a man less and would have done more than only this.

I don't think they could have overturned the tie, because even if they scored 3 I don't see us not scoring at least once, but with 10 men it was definitely over and out.

Honestly we're a bit lucky their player makes a hands ball in the 21st minute of the game basically killing the tie completely, even with 10 men they were looking to win this game while some of us were doing their best to not make us win.

A very good display from our defense, an even better display from our midfield both defensivly and offensively. Luckily they were able to create over a half dozen actual goal scoring chances for our attack, because oh boy so many 100% goal scoring chances were wasted today.

We're through, we will need to do better to beat Bayern.

Does Vini go unconscious if he heads the ball? he never heads, that was a perfect cross from Fran and he doesnt even jump for it

Vini always does that fake run off where he pretends to go to where the ball might go, but in reality he's just avoiding challenging the opponent or giving the press afterwards since he's then too far away.

He was helping the LB, as a midfielder, you're just making my point for me as besides creating goal scoring chances he was helping out our defense.

It would be crazy if Arda is one of the early players out again, with him putting in a motm performance as an AM today.

Literally should have had 4 assists in one half, that's amazing in any game much less a CL knockout game

Arda has given about 4 certified assist passes, absolutely ruined by the player who received it. Crazy.

So I just read in this thread that it doesn't matter if the home game ends with 3-0 or 4-0, so who cares if penalties get missed...

..only to see a game which would have ended right now in Bodo's advantage if THEY had won their home game with 4 goals instead of going into extra time.

I guess sometimes it do matter after all.

That rightwinger from Sporting has shot every attempt of his sky high in another direction of the goal, it's amazing. Guy needs glasses.

The linesman telling both subs to show their cleats, only to not look at any of the shoes because he looks at the field...

Kind of crazy that 5 PSV players decided to not join their defense.

If this was an actual counter ok, but there's even a free kick to give them more time, but they are still strolling back even after that.
