Congratulations to Chelsea! Man C fans would've been insufferable had they won.
:dwillhuh:


I've never heard a good argument why the away goals rule is a bad thing.

that's bullshyt. the away goal rule is one of the good thinks about cl, to me. adds more drama to it.

Idk if this was mentioned but the ref put in a clinic last night. One of the better refereeing performances I’ve seen in a big game.

SN: Joke like joke, Chelsea has 2 UCL trophies within a decade. Meanwhile Man U still looking like buns...

I liked the away goal avoids ultra defensive showings (first leg at least),and of course it helps the inferior team get away with murda:lolbron:

Werners runs are critical and he is so dangerous and fast that all the others get more space. If he could score he would be a monster.

He needs another scorer next to him or for Chelsea to start scoring by committee to get the pressure off, his problem is that he can't get out of his own head right now because every opportunity he gets has some life or death stakes for him. If he gets 4-5 scruffy goals in a handful of easy wins he'll be good the problem is Chelsea right now don't do easy wins.

It punishes the team that hosts the second leg for no reason because even if all things are equal at the end of 90 minutes the away team in the second leg gets the advantage of an extra 30 minutes where every goal they score effectively counts twice. Even if they don't scrap it entirely the rule definitely needs to be looked at.

How would brehs feel about PKs before extra time? Whoever wins the PKs would then have the advantage in extra time if the match is still tied?
