@Polak close to two minutes were wasted in VAR and celebrations so i personally dont have a problem when the match ended. For the record it ended in 90+15. In Valencia the problem with the whistle was that it was during an attack not the time itself. Indeed the match lasted longer. The chalked off ...

Absolutely. From what I have seen of both clubs this season, the final is reasonably balanced and I expect a competitive game. As a footnote, Real Madrid have never been crowned European champions in England. They also haven't lost a final since the competition officially became the CL. I find it i...

Apparently Udinese v Roma was stopped because somebody had a serious injury and to be continued at a later date. What was the injury? Did they think the player may die? Strange they would postpone the rest of a match due to a player injury.

Just to clarify I wasn't saying the offside should have been overturned, just that it was a shame for Coventry not to go through with a winning goal when the player was like 1 or 2 mm offside. The offside rule was invented originally not for situations like this, but to prevent attacking players jus...

'The stretch of the leg is putting the defender at risk.' Really? So if Vasquez had tried to pass the ball rather than continuing his run it's ok for the defender to stretch out his leg but because he continued his run and fell over his leg it's a foul? By that rationale if a defender dives to the g...

How are you supposed to defend if you can't stretch your leg out in the direction the attacker is heading? It was an obvious dive. I don't know why VAR didn't alert the referee to take a look for himself. He probably would have changed his decision if he did.

You said it. The penalty was an absurd decision. Vasquez clearly just dived into and over the defender's leg. In general from the highlights I saw though probably a draw would have been a fair result.

Coventry not making it to the final was indeed a great shame. Their winner cancelled out for being what, 1mm offside? When they showed the offside line and the last attacker line they were almost on top of one another. Couldn't have been much in it. Either way, whoever went through was going to lose...

I feared an all oil final at Wembley. Now we just need Dortmund to make it a no oil final. To be honest I think a Real Madrid v Borussia Dortmund final would be wonderful, with Dortmund getting the shock win. Might be a lot ask though. One way or another I think PSG will still bottle this as they us...

Actually PSG dominated Barcelona even when they had 11 players on field. I still think that comeback would have been done by PSG. What game were you watching? PSG far from dominated and actually at 11 v 11 the game was quite even. Barcelona scroed and looked quite comfortable to be honest. Could ha...

4 out of 8 from the previous round. Very average. Got Liverpool, Bayer Leverkusen (easy ones), Roma and West Ham and missed Milan, Atalanta, Benfica and Marseille.

Well that wasn't great for the heart rate but thankfully Poland made it through, just. Not a great match although fairly even I would say. If Poland went out though they couldn't complain as they didn't manage a proper shot on target in 2 hours of football. Statistically they had 2 shots on target b...

Oh come on man. He was pushed out. Perhaps he was not sacked officially with the headline reading 'Hodgson sacked' but he was pushed out and his health problems was used as an excuse to get rid of him. If he was about to get fired due to bad results then he was basically pushed to step down at the p...

Not overly confident about Poland's chance in these play offs. This is a very good time to play them. They also have a coach who is only the coach because he is friends with the head of the FA. Despite this they should be advancing against Estonia (emphasis on should be) although even that could be ...
