Some thoughts

If late stage CL ties are the test cricket of football, pep approached it like 20 over big bash cricket. Nearly paid off, but the better game management of klopp held. The Italians with citys prosaic rejects showed an alternative approach by slowly ratcheting up the pressure on barca.

City had every major tight decision go against them, as well as a couple of howlers. The sane offside decision was awful and denied us all a hell of a second half.

Salah is a boss. 39 goals this season. And he's only 25. If he scores 39 goals every season for the next 13 years, he'll be thirty eight years old and he'll have as many goals as CR7 does now aged 33. Still a long way to go before the comparisons with the truly elite can be made

(another CR7 stat for you, James milner has been playing pro first team football since he was 16. He's on course to be join an exclusive list of players who have made 500 prem appearances. After last night he can now say he has made as many club appearances as Ronnie has scored career goals)

Juve digging out Tottenham, real digging out psg, Roma rolling back the years and Liverpool's fire and brimstone anfield bossing city's emptying soccerbowl and plastic flags. The euro old guard showing pedigree matters this year. Love it.
