Why not?

LFC (2-0) Inter

A 2-0 lead on a European night at Anfield. What could go wrong? Everything, starting with complacency.

Bayern (1-1) Salzburg

A Salzburg upset would be beyond epic.

Nothing can go wrong, though Inter are a decent team.

But not out of the question. Bayern have not looked good lately, Salzburg have some busy and quick attackers, I am predicting at least a draw. It is practically a derby match as well, I dunno, maybe Werner or Jesper or Bruce are there? Could be the last game of the UCL this season?

I want to say a terrible dive by Lewandowski, but I just cant say anything bad about the Polish ( it was a clear penal). Lewa converts 1-0. Lots of time left...

I cant blame Lewandowski for this penal. I think it should be considered outside the box, though initial contact may have been inside. I was OK with the run up to the kick on the first one, but I didnt like the stop -start on this one. Though not as bad as some he has taken. It dont matter none, he scored again and it is 3-0 after, like 20 minutes.

Time to see if Inter can pull it off.

Liverpool fielding the A team, so that doesn't seem to be the case.

I really like Arnold, a true natural skilled footballer. 0-0, but Liverpool in no harm, meanwhile Bayern 4-0.

Disappointed in Casino Salzburg, Bayern was there for the taking, they got too nervous and fouled Lewandowski too much.

I wouldn't mind Inter dragging it to extra time and penalties, only to go out in the most soul-crushing way possible.

I'm trying to be as objective as possible here -

Sanchez did win the ball first, but if you're going to fly into a challenge then the onus is on you to ensure that no one feels their studs on their leg after the fact. A red it definitely was not, but as a yellow I think it was the right call.

Maybe our resident referee HASM can weigh in?

I see that Inter are going out with their heads held high and all that. Well, good for the Serie A UEFA coefficient (and bad for Inter's opponents in the Serie A race) but a team with Inter's ambitions shouldn't be celebrating a defeat.

That's what I was taught multiple times in refresher meetings. Flying
in, studs showing, can't control leg once in the air, all conditions are
met for it to be either a caution or ejection.

If you look at it as an isolated incident, without the context of when
it happened, it is hard to argue that this is not at least a caution.

I would think most people questioning the caution are doing so because
it is the second caution, resulting in an ejection.

If you don't card this, you're going to have the same amount of people
on the other side complaining just as hard, and, much worse, what are
you going to do when someone on the other team does the same thing 5
minutes later? Recipe for losing control of the match.

Spot on. I think most critics of the decision are subconsciously looking at it as a red card decision, which it wasn't.

1) Donnaruma has a brain fart and gives the ball away, Benzema scores
2) Neymar gives the ball cheaply away for a counter, Benzema scores
30 Verratti gives it away cheaply on the subsequent kickoff, and then Marquinhos gives it away again after recovering it, Benzema scores

With a big foul from Benzema.
But it is Madrid so there is no foul.
In the other sens, the goal would have been disallowed.

It was pretty obvious that the match would have been decided on an isolated episode. Two sides terrified to put the foot on the accelerator until Rugani's foul. That's the direct consequence of the abolition of the Away Goal Rule. You get what you paid for.

Axiomatics:

How ‘bout reviving the oldest rule in European football competitions? “A third match on a neutral site.”

For example: 1 – 3 and 2 – 0; aggregate score 3 – 3. A third game followed on a neutral site (different country). More exciting! More football, huh? Third countries from the lower football tiers had the opportunity to witness higher-level football. Like Albania hosting the decisive third match between Liverpool and Inter.

Unfortunately, the governing bodies have crowded the schedules to inhumane levels.

“Football sucks. The Champions League sucks.”

Long live European Super League (ESL)!

Interestingly, the two CL QF legs sandwich the City-LFC title-edging showdown in April. If one team gets a much easier draw than the other, it could have a profound effect on the EPL title race.

And of course if they draw each other then it could be the mother of all battles between the two clubs - they'll play each other thrice in a week - each game being as big as the other two.

Well there have already been a ton of matches played according to the new rules in the qualifiers,
and the percentage of ties that went to extra time has roughly doubled.

when they now have been eliminated by, in turn, Ajax, Lyon, Porto, and Villarreal?

This really had nothing to do with Juve being on the short end of the rule change. I have been consistently in favor AGR, even when Juve went out to Lyon and Porto in the past two CL seasons because of AGR.

Yep. In the long run, expect about 15% of ties to go to ET.

Soul-searching about our credentials? Not really. How many other teams have made it to the CL last 16 in each of the past 8 years?

Soul-searching about the decision to bring back Allegri on a 5-year contract with massive wages? Plenty.
(for others: soul-searching about the decision to let Allegri go away 3 years ago...)

I got me a suspicion. Bayern “plays” with the results; e.g., at Salzburg, at Villareal. Methinks Bayern wants to establish better betting odds. Maybe the players don’t bet openly, but their trusted friends DO!

Bayern’s odds dropped now to 5/1, way behind ManCity and Liver. Pound for pound, however, Bayern is above the two English sides. Bayern also loves to play against English teams. Recent proofs: 7 – 2 against Tottenham on the road, 6 – 0 against Chelsea (2 legs).

12 April
• Real Madrid – Chelsea: 2 – 3 (aggregate 5 – 4; Real advances to semifinals)
• Bayern München – Villarreal: 1 – 1 (aggregate 1 – 2; Villarreal advances to semifinals).

Anthological night in UCL! Villareal succeeded in what appeared to be the impossible against the blitzkrieg! Real Madrid – Chelsea was a dramatic game, with another seemingly impossible turnaround.

Chelsea had a 3– 0 lead after that seemingly impossible to overcome 1 – 3 at home. Chelsea even had a 4 – 0 opportunity, but “Kokostirque” Courtois saved the day for the Galactics. Only after that, Real Madrid started to play... football.

Too bad, matches like the two are sooo rare in football!

• Real Madrid – Manchester City: 3 – 1, in overtime (aggregate: 6 – 5; Real Madrid advances to the final)
• The most memorably-axiomatic event in the club-team competitions
• In the 90th minute, Man City was 1 – 0 ahead and almost qualified in the final; Real scored in the 90th and 91st minutes to send the match to overtime
• Benzema, again, transformed the penalty and did the incredible... again!

Final
---------

• Liverpool – Real Madrid: 0 – 1

• this Final will forever be remembered as an organizational embarrassment: the kickoff was delayed by 36 minutes (the Liverpool FC fans again??)
• a new record was set by Real Madrid for most champion titles: 14
• a new record was set by coach Ancelotti for most Champions League titles won: 4

• 2022 was the Year of Kokostirque — no other player in history saved his team from elimination in such decisive manners
• Skatolchah comes in second as the ‘Most Decisive Player’ of Year of Grace 2022
