Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

[ifmanis5]

Kane almost scores on the long ball again.

 

[Kliq]

That would have been insane.

 

[ifmanis5]

What a ball, what a finish.

 

[rguilmar]

Classy pass for that goal.

 

[rguilmar]

Cameraman likes those two ladies

 

[ifmanis5]

Great goal from Sane.

 

[rguilmar]

Massive goal!

 

[Kliq]

You don't see many goals like that. Just quick, violent power.

 

[ifmanis5]

Penalty given.

Well taken by Kane.

 

[rguilmar]

what a quick turnaround

 

[sdiaz1]

Mendy making a good argument for Fiorentino splashing the cash for Davies on that dirst goal. He looked completly lost when Sane recieved the ball.

 

[rguilmar]

Well now…

 

[ifmanis5]

I think that's a good call.

No doubter.

 

[Kliq]

Kim hadn't been in form for Bayern and he's been brutal for them today.

 

[sdiaz1]

I think that's a good call.

No doubter.

About as clear as they come

 

[sdiaz1]

Well Lucas' Yellow was even more clear lol

 

[rguilmar]

This is set up nicely for a fun second leg.

 

[ifmanis5]

Well Lucas' Yellow was even more clear lol

LOL, second leg should be sweet.

 

[Kliq]

Very different PSG club this year in terms of major names. Will be interesting to see what they do post-Mbappe, and who is available for them to try and make a big splash.

Dortmund will be looking to head to Paris with a lead, should be a fun game. Great atmosphere so far.

 

[ifmanis5]

Great finish!

 

[67YAZ]

Fullkrug with a perfectly timed run - like to the nanosecond - and a perfect pass. Direct and beautiful.

The stadium has not stopped rocking.

this Sancho kid keeps popping up all over the pitch. He might have a future.

 

[allstonite]

This is a very fun game as a neutral. Dortmund showing no fear and taking it to PSG

 

[ifmanis5]

Textbook Route One.

 

[Kliq]

Fullkrug's touch and then the finish, a low laser that just zapped past Donnarumma, were brilliant.

 

[ifmanis5]

Two posts!

 

[67YAZ]

That Mbappe shot…goddamn.

 

[ifmanis5]

Was expecting that to be a goal. PSG does look better though.

 

[67YAZ]

Fullkrug has to bury that.

What is it about Dortmund that Sancho likes so much?

 

[rguilmar]

Fullkrug has to bury that.

What is it about Dortmund that Sancho likes so much?

Or, what is it about Sancho that Man U doesn’t like so much?

 

[ifmanis5]

Oh my that's a terrible over the bar.

 

[Catcher Block]

Both teams have missed golden opportunities. Uncontested shots inside 10 yards. Both over the bar.

 

[Pesky Pole]

It’s like PSG has a team full of Darwin Nunezes

 

[cromulence]

It's absolutely incredible how terrible Ray Hudson is.

 

[rguilmar]

How is this still 1-0?

 

[Catcher Block]

Yeah, if you only showed the replays of near misses and posts to a casual fan, they'd be convinced this was a 4-3 game.

This BVB victory seals a 5th team berth from Bundesliga in next year's UCL, which is likely to be...BVB.

BVB played a mostly disapointing Bundesliga season, so it's only fitting that they qualified for next year's CL in this competition, where they played much better. (Let's remember, that BVB won the group of death with PSG, Milan and Newcastle).

Bundesliga could even get a 6th CL spot for the next season if BVB stays 5th in the league (likely) AND wins the Champions League (quite unlikely, but a boy can dream...).
In this scenario - and only then - would the team in 6th place in the Bundesliga (probably Eintracht Frankfurt) get the additional spot in the 24/25 competition, since BVB would be qualified as the reigning champs.
