I saw that. I would have loved for my boy Hugo Sanchez to have had a shot at it. I sometimes feel like he is overlooked and disrespected by many in Spain and in Europe in general. Hugo Sanchez was a monster in the 80s for Real Madrid. He was CR7 before CR7 was a thing. A true legend.

Axax < Juventus
Liverpool > Porto
City > Tottenham
Barca > Man U
I can't see any of the underdogs taking it over two legs. Most likely is Ajax over Juve IMO.

Manchester City's April schedule is absolutely bonkers:
3/30: @ Fulham
4/2: vs. Cardiff
4/6: FA Cup Semi (potentially vs. Man U)
4/9: @ Spurs CL
4/14: @ Palace
4/17: vs. Spurs CL
4/20: vs. Spurs LEAGUE
4/24: @ Man Utd
4/28: @ Burnley
If they don't drop points during that run, then hats off...they definitely deserve the title. But they're already looking a bit spent and have had some muscular injuries lately...so we'll see.

Liverpool vs Porto, 2-0
No doubt about the technical and physical superiority of the Liverpool players, but Porto made a hell of a game and takes the decision to the Dragão match. It will be a hard mountain to climb but not impossible. The players gave it all (specially Alex Telles who made the 90 minutes with a back injury, my respect, what a warrior) and we had 3/4 chances at scoring.
Now, at least 2 penalty kicks against Liverpool by hand balls that where not signalled, plus a very dubious situation where Filipe is trampled by the Liverpool defender inside Liverpool box, also Salah should have seen a red card for stomping on Danilo, not even a yellow was shown... with all of this, my question is what is the VR worth for?

Dios mio, this is humiliating! Man U needs a firesale clearout to regain some dignity. Sir Alex must be shaking his head sadly.

Juve 1 - 2 Ajax.
Holy shit, what a time to be alive. I never thought I'd see something like this again. I don't have any memories of 1995; I only started following football during the 1998 World Cup. This is the best CL result since 1997. It started with qualifier games way back in July 2018. Now we've beaten two of the best teams in the world in the knock-out stages. How far can this go? It has to be done now, because all the world's top teams will pillage our squad in the upcoming summer, with Frenkie de Jong already set for Barcelona.

Fantastic play by Ajax, utterly deserved win for sure. Juventus was no where. This shows you what a team can achieve when they have a top youth quality, a strong identity and vision and are not afraid to spend to get some leading quality players. An example for many teams.

I guess Liverpool is the only big red/big london club that's neither petrodollar or khazarian-owned then?

"/" = "and/or"
I guess that still doesn't include City, who look like they're going to take it this year, but it's implied...

Sunderland AFC are a pile decomposing horse manure. Why do I still support this club? It's as if I enjoy being miserable.

Liverpool with what could be their biggest home win in decades, on the verge of knocking off Barca and heading to the CL final, they made up the 3-0 first leg deficit and lead 4-0 with 10 min left.
Brilliant 4th goal on a trick corner set play!
Liverpool - Ajax would be a classic final!

What I would give for scousers to stick two fingers to the Manchester clubs and their supporting mobs. Lots of thick heads tomorrow.
