Unbelieveable how Brugge is giving away the match.

From goalkeeper giving a free corner, defenders putting said goalkeeper in danger with hazardous passes, missing a 2-2 in front of open goal and 10 seconds later being down to 10 with a stupid useless fault in Fiorentina side.

Club Brugge midfielder Onyedika was flawless in 180' vs PAOK (literally 0 errors).

And now he's committing two stupid fouls within 6' and is sent off with yellow/red.

1' later Thiago scores the equalizer, this is crazy!

Chelsea just beat Tottenham 2-0. There should be no reason to think of possibly losing the CL place for Villa now, highly unlikely.

Is the Villa-Olympiakos game as one-sided as it looks from the stats?

Olympiakos has 4 goals on only 6 attempts? 😲😲

Surprising result in England, but Aston Villa never impressed in this competition. Even in the group stage they just did the barely enough needed to advance. Not hungry enough maybe?

Crazy indeed. Huge error for Fiorentina defender, conceding a so easy counterattack for 2-2.
Hope for more partecipants in the next Prediction Game

Reminds me of Eintracht in the ECL, and for them it was more understandable after the EL trophy win and the CL experience in the two seasons before.

Now I know why Lorric appreciates West Ham, they even played serious in the ECL, unlike AV or Spurs.

It's too unkind to say Villa didn't play serious when they reached the semis, they've had some good performances but it's been mixed. But West Ham on the other hand were a different level, no talk of prioritising the league that season even when they were in a relegation battle.

Incredible that a team referred to as "the corpse of Olympiakos" by @Firnen at some points in the season is achieving this.

Poor Panathinaikos fans will lose bragging rights if Oly get a European trophy. If it's only the Final, they can argue that theirs was in a bigger tournament.

Fiorentina scores in extra time.

3-2 is not disastrous for Brugge, a win at home looks more than doable based on what I saw tonight.

I knew Fiorentina would destroy my draw prediction in the injury time. They can not stop annoying me. And they always get this bonus to play vs ten men.
