NFT: UEFA Champions League

Gene : 2/14/2018 2:42 pm
Porto vs Liverpool kick off in about 10 minutes over on FOX Sports 2, but the more intriguing match features Real Madrid vs PSG over on FOX Sports 1.

Ronaldo vs Canvani in a battle of the pretty boys. Neymar, Mbappe, Modric, Benzema et al in a star studded match.

Who do you like?
I'm still beaming from my Spurs comeback in Turin yesterday

That was some match yesterday!

The return should be a pisser!

With that said, Rabiot gives PSG a 1-0 lead with a 33' goal.

Liverpool up 2-0

on goals by Mane (25') and Salah (29').
Ronaldo levels the match

at 1-1 with a 45' PK. This is the 8th straight CL match Ronaldo has scored a goal....one off the record.

Liverpool maintain their 2-0 at the break.

are what the Champions League are all about. First half lived up to the hype.

Best thing I saw was that Marcelo first time cross to Ronaldo on the shot that hit the keeper in the face. That was incredible.

Nice to see the English teams off to a good start.
Liverpool are rampant

Ronaldo with another.

Mane gets his hat trick. Liverpool up 5-0
Liverpool are ruthless today

Porto overmatched completely.
Ronaldo knees one home

from in close in the 83'......being in the right place at the right time, if you will and Marcelo stretches the lead to 3-1 with a 86' left footer.

Firmino bags one in the 69' and Mane completes the hat trick in the 85' to stretch Liverpool's lead to 5-0.
PSG

Another team I need Tums for. Sometimes they play like soccer players, sometimes like a pickup team at the park on a nice late spring Sunday.
Glad they got the tie.
Kane!!!!
What a great game

Neymar is a fucking stud. I'd love to see him in white some day.

Is there a more clutch player then Ronaldo? Good lord. His play in the UCL is unreal. Everytime we need a goal he gets it.

Also I don't understand Zizou sticking with Benzema. He's scored 1 goal in his last 10 UCL games. 1 goal in his last 14 knockout round games. Zizou brings Bale & Asensio on and we look like a completely different team. Both were very threatening down the flank. Benz has had a great career, but he needs to be benched. Then he needs to be replaced in the summer. Plenty of good Strikers out there. It's hard to win when your Striker is almost no threat to score goals. We need a guy who can score like Suarez (Kane, Icardi, Lewandowski).

Can't wait for the return leg in Paris. Should be a great game.
UK is really showing themselves well

Thus far. Pochettino has walked into Real Madrid and Juventus in the same season and earned a draw. Good luck holding onto him longterm. He's an incredible young coach in this sport. If the new Spurs stadium produces huge revenue where they can keep their stars and continue to invest heavily, than I believe he will stay at Spurs and could be a decade+ type coach.
