⚽️THE FOOTY THREAD: Leicester v City, Lyon v Brest, Troyes v PSG, Sandhausen v Leipzig, Wiesbaden v BVB

To Istanbul lads!

 

[eracism]

Hazard gotta be sick watching us go to the CL final

He wouldn't make the bench for Chelsea now. They run deep! Real looking flabby and sick.

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Super league already exists, it’s called the Prem.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

P$G got rid of Tuchel and their longtime captain Silva only to watch them both reach the CL final ahead of them immediately after

I still don't get PSG firing him

 

[El Argentino]

GG Blues. Madrid looked so offensively toothless. How dare Zidane suddenly throw Hazard into the mix when he hasn’t played a full game in months? Same for Ramos.

Not quite an “implode the team” evening, but the squad for sure needs freshening.

FWIW, pleased Chelsea and Captain America are going to the final. Should be entertaining at least.

 

[MetalMario]

GG Chelsea fans, Tuchel put Zidane in a blender
Chelsea are hell defensively

Frustrating to watch a 3-5-2 that clearly wasn't working

You guys have so many injuries problems that def wasn’t a final form Madrid. He did the best with what he could when he had to attack at away

 

[AZwildcats]

Hazard, hate it had to be him

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Chelsea needs to stop playing come the final and start Pulisic over Werner if they wanna beat City.

 

[fluid hips]

Pulisic finna be the first american in a CL final

 

[fluid hips]

Frank Lampard somewhere wondering what could've been

 

[rolaholic]

Fitting time to remember that there was a time when Hazard was being mentioned in the same sentence as Messi and Ron...

Feels like a lifetime ago now

 

[Armada]

Wild that no matter who wins an American will be a champions league winner (Zack Steffen City for Chelsea Pulisic obviously)

After this result, does Zizou leave if they don't repeat in the league or will he stay for the rebuild?

 

[haicheo]

Tough loss, but GG to Chelsea.

Seems like our only game plan was to try and be solid at the back....that didn’t pan out too well. Nothing up front for us, Vinicius was lost on the right (as hehas been EVERY other time he’s played there) no quality balls to Benz... Militao and Mendy having to cross midfield to start attacking plays was not ideal.

Again, the team should be proud of what they’ve accomplished in the UCL this season considering the team’s injuries and the fact that we are at the end of the Midfied Maestro Trio’s life cycle. On to LaLiga and try to finish the season strong.

 

[tego calderon el abayarde]

Does Hazard start taking better care of his body/fitness or does he show up overweight at the beginning of next season yet again?

 

[Verde Shuttles]

After this result, does Zizou leave if they don't repeat in the league or will he stay for the rebuild?

He certainly won't be getting fired, it's up to him whether to stay or go.

 

[swerve]

Chelsea needs to stop playing come the final and start Pulisic over Werner if they wanna beat City.

I thought Werner played well today. Should’ve easily had a couple of assist.

But either way.. Tuchel will have a headache making those selections for the front 3.

For sure that's why I said leave not sacked.

The Juve job should be opening up soon

 

[Armada]

At least I know there’s no way City will underestimate Chelsea given they just knocked us out the FA cup semi final.

 

[rolaholic]

Gonna be cheering for the Gunners tomorrow, would love the reactions in Europe to all-English CL and EL finals

 

[rolaholic]

Hats off to Tuchel, joined mid-season and has them in the CL final already

RDM 2.0 except he's actually a great manager

 

[LA Diggler]

I thought Werner played well today. Should’ve easily had a couple of assist.

But either way.. Tuchel will have a headache making those selections for the front 3.

Werner’s always a problem because of his movement. Starting Werner and having Pulisic running at tired defenders in the 2nd half isn’t a bad thing.

 

[Armada]

I just realized Kante and Mahrez meeting each other in the final now too

 

[jape]

tuchel masterclass. the way they pressed the back line and the center of the pitch was absolutely brilliant.
zizzou got it all wrong today. don't usually see that. that back 3 was trash and vini on the right was dumb.
havertz was a beast too could've had a hatrick.
hazard disasterclass.
i said this in the beginning of the szn. madrid are better and have been better when he doesn't play.
