    That was a complete battering man..

    Madrid had nothing. A team full of individuals that are an eyesore to watch..

    61 goals conceded before tonight, did i hear that right? 10 losses before also?

    * horrendous..

    Don't like Arsenal but that first freekick was class, to do it again after was utter filth and even better for me. Easy to get ahead of yourself and hit row z on adrenaline..

    Reminded me a bit of Griffiths against England when the second went in..

    The splitting wall set piece play was clever from Arteta/Arsenal

    It was but you've still got to score and he's smacked it into the top bins. Unbelievable strike.

    The strikes were sensational, no doubt but the splitting wall effect surely had an influence on both fks

    The first free kick, surely Courtois thinks it’s going to be Odegaard hitting it. Otherwise it’s a pish wall from him to allow Rice to whip round it. The second is an unbelievable hit. Couldn’t be any closer to hitting the post.

    Absolutely amazing from Rice yesterday. Haven’t seen something special like that from a player for a long time. Didn’t think he had that in his locker.

    With us having to go through the playoffs how ridiculous is it that engerland will have a minimum of 5 teams AND maybe even 7 in the groups, aye The Champions League my *.

    From BBC

    'England are guaranteed a minimum of five teams in the Champions League next season after Arsenal's victory over Real Madrid in the first leg of the quarter-finals.
    England could have as many as seven teams in the Champions League in 2025-26 if Aston Villa win the competition this year, but fail to qualify through the Premier League, and if Manchester United or Tottenham win the Europa League.'

    Real look done, based on the highlights. Ripped to shreds over far too often. Too many individuals it looks like. Mbappe, Vini Jr and Bellingham too concerned with themselves.

    Would have been an easy finish for Lewandowski if Yamal laid that off man, some play by the young lad a few times already though.

    Mrs just asked why I have the volume turned right down watching PSG game. I tried to explain just how much I detest fat jakey McCoist and the usual love in between him and the other two eejits but she just said don't let them annoy you. Maybe it is me but I'm sure I'm not alone

    Yamal is the first player in a while I've looked forward to watching. Like this Barca team as a unit as well, more free flowing than the million pass Pep squad although I did obviously enjoy watching Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets etc.

    Adeyemi won't last much longer if he's no careful.
