The UEFA Champions League and Europa League Thread 2016/17

First topic message reminder :

Might as well make a poll on this one...

Never seen as lucky a draw as the one united have had. Celta Vigo with 16 league defeats so far this season in the semi's of Europa!!!

What do you expect, it's the Europa league.

Liverpool last year had to go through Manchester United, Dortmund, Vilarreal and Sevilla!

I would expect, they would have played a team in the top 5 of their league with a decent league record. Not one with more losses than wins

Not sure you understand how cup competitions work.

Watching Leicester vs Atlético in the quater finals must have gave you a migraine then:laugh:

Juve cruise past Monaco en route to a near inevitable meet with Real. Would have liked to seen Monaco tbh, been a breath of a fresh air.

Juve have lost 4 CL finals in a row, last chance for Buffon to complete the set of medals?

[nadeem2099]

Last ever European game at the Vicente Calderón for Atlético

[GSC]

2-0 Atletico already...

[Afro]

Navas should be saving that penalty

[Dolphin Ziggler]

The fun is over

[nadeem2099]

But the Isco disco is just starting for Real

[nadeem2099]

I must admit I was Poopie bricks when Atletico scored their second goal. But the goal by Isco just before half time really knocked the stuffing out of them. Juventus here we come!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

How have Utd managed to get themselves into this position

[Guest]

Manchester United 1-1 Celta Vigo (Agg: 2-1) FT

[Guest]

Man Utd XI: Romero, Valencia, Smalling, Blind, Darmian, Herrera, Fellaini, Mata, Pogba, Mkhitaryan, Rashford.

Subs: De Gea, Jones, Rooney, Martial, Lingard, Carrick, Fosu-Mensah

[Fernando]

I mean not even United can f**k this up. I don't care for this cup keeper bs put one of the best keepers in the world in goal muppet.

[GSC]

It'd be ****ing hilarious if they did though

[Dolphin Ziggler]

I can't not want them to win tonight

[GSC]

Ajax getting on the ball a bit now. Slow start

[Guest]

0-1 Pogba via massive deflection

[GSC]

1-0 United, Pogbas shot takes a big deflection

[GSC]

United starting to sit deep and stifle Ajax, Ajax look short of ideas at the moment.

[GSC]

Proper Mourinho job being done atm.

Rashford hurt tackled in the area

[Guest]

Proper Mourinho job being done atm

It's all that's needed in all honesty. Ajax look distinctly average.

[GSC]

1-0 United at half-time.

Fairly dire game, United got their goal and have squeezed the life out of Ajax. Ajax need a touch of inspiration.

[Ent]

Ajax too inexperienced - ridiculous throw in lead to the opening goal.

Hope we don't make a balls of this as it is men against boys - literally.

Should win 3-0 but this season has been a story of losing leads.

[GSC]

2-0

That's ballgame.

[Ent]

2-0 now and that should be that.

The guy Sanchez at the back for Ajax is meant to be highly rated but he can't play at all.

[Guest]

Comfortable & easy win for United

Two trophies & CL football, can't complain

Griezmann will sign now

[Guest]

Well done to Mourinho, well done to Manchester United. Mourinho has also been managing the exit of Rooney this season. Still more work to be done, but he has produced silverware that will remain part of Man Utd's history.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

That was like men against boys - physically stronger, mentally on a different level. Utd didn't have to reach 2nd gear

[compelling and rich]

Great to have abit of postivey last night after whats been a tough few days. My head is pounding now, but overall it's been a decent first season for mourinho. Would have snatched your hand off for two trophies and cl football at the start of the season. Just need to play bit better football next season

[Jermaine2015]

Mourinho bit of a salty character but you're guaranteed silverware with the Portuguese legend. PL season was disappointing but two trophies and a CL berth turned MUFC season around. Was also good to see Mourinho actually celebrating success with his child rather than his usual blasé behaviour

[Guest]

Gotta give Mourinho his due. He went all out from the get-go to win the Europa and win it he did. You can argue about the lack of quality in this years competition but it's still some accomplishment to navigate your way through it. Job done and decent season for Utd.

[GSC]

I'd correct get-go to "when 4th place looked a longer bet" but sure.

[Guest]

Very cliche.

He'd have wanted it regardless of league position. Look at his attitude towards the League Cup. Dude loves silverware of any kind.

His team lines ups early on in the competition back this up.
