Also, no Ronaldo or Messi in the SFs for first time in 14 years.

Great to see City go out - Sterling skying it from 1 metre out :lol:

Can't see past Bayern for the CL, but who knows.


I haven’t been able to see past Bayern for a while now. Don’t think any of the other three teams have it in them to stop Lewandowski and company now.

Unless they implode somehow, Bayern are going to win it relatively easily.

I'm liking all the memes popping up on FB of Kane saying and that's why I didn't square it to Sterling against Croatia.

:lol:

It was an incredible miss.

Nervous about the game. Need to start well. Can't afford any sloppiness.

yeah thats just wrong on so many levels.
if youre going to have a cup keeper then play them in all stages. maybe Romero was having a 'mare in training?

Nah. He's made the same call he did for the fa cup semi. Appalling treatment of a player with incredible loyalty and professionalism.

I hope it doesn't cost us like it did in the fa cup

Always been a Romero fan. Deserves more respect as he's a fantastic number 2. De Gea has done very little over the past couple of years to suggest he should automatically play in important games.

He may well have an absolute blinder but that doesn't mean he deserves to play.

Nasty foul that. It's nice having a consistent penalty taker again.

Lovely goal that from Sevilla. Great play from Reguilon and a tidy finish too.

Indeed. Teams need to learn how to not foul us.

Good game so far. Rashford has looked pretty poor, which is frustrating as he's getting a lot of room on the wing. Needs a bit more composure.

Open game. Fancy us to score again but we went to sleep for their goal. They look vulnerable at the back but very good going forward.

I'm not for one for conspiracy theories and it's been shown in other leagues that the introduction of VAR does lead to more penalties being awarded but it's just a little frustrating at times with it seeming like the rules aren't being applied properly for everyone. Hopefully next season that doesn't feel the case.

Second half should be tasty. In Sevilla's three games against Liverpool, the spaniards performances improved after the break each time, especially with Banega getting more space to dictate the game in. Thing if Man U can stop that, they'll be in a good position to progress. Big ask though.

How wasnt the defender booked on the penalty? It was a nasty foul.

Banega should have been booked too.

Martial is such a class player. Love watching him play although obviously I hope this is his last game of the season.

That's some shocking defending.

That's certainly not a surprise. That's tragic defending though.
