- if only there was some kind of rule that encouraged away teams to attack moreArsenal failed to record a shot on target in the #UCL for the first time since March 2011 โ #BBCFootball #PORARS
- Netherlands v Poland in Hamburg for me today. A massive number of fans here for the most geographically perfect fixture of the group stage.
- Real Madrid playing for a 0-0 here. Iโve never seen them play so defensively. UEFA need to come up with some way to incentivise attacking play from the away side in knockout games
- on Saturday, Trent Alexander-Arnold could become the first player to play a Premier League game next to a river that shares his first name since Don Hutchinson for Everton away at Sheffield Wednesday in September 1999
- Fair play, not sure anyone has ever missed the point more spectacularly than this"If you don't like the Club World Cup, go and play padel or go for a swim" ๐ Kaveh Solhekol has some advice for Jurgen Klopp after he said the "Club World Cup is the worst idea ever implemented in football" ๐ค
00:00 - Arsenal went behind at 00:09 and went ahead at 96:59. Incredible game.
- No-look passes can be really effective but it clearly doesn't count as one if you play the pass and *then* look somewhere else.
00:00 - Happy to concede that I do not even remotely understand the โclass actโ scale any more"Can I get yours?" ๐ค Jack Grealish is a class act ๐ #BBCFootball
00:00 - Varane joins the likes of Dida and Maicon in the โworld class for ages but had one bad game against an English side so will be remembered as โrubbishโโ hall of fame
- An insane thing to be babbling on about even before the ball has gone in. This utter obsession with ranking individuals as the *primary way* of discussing a team sport really is nauseating.
00:00 - Obviously itโs daft from Gabriel, but this is a (fairly rare) example of a situation where a referee can - and did - reasonably apply the โcommon senseโ that people are usually so desperate for.According to Thomas Tuchel, the referee admitted he ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ awarded Bayern Munich a penalty for this incident with Gabriel ๐ ๐ @julesbreach
