Best club in the world. It's truly remarkable.

It seems the WC break didn't do anything to cool down the Napoli buzzsaw.

Man Dhabi absolutely fell asleep on the equalizing goal. Then the Leipzig keeper made a great save to keep it level. Leipzig should be a bit disappointed that they played so defensively at home.

It was a tale of two halves. They were woeful in the 1st and far more aggressive in the second. 1st half possession was 80/20.

Easy, they just put it to the 8th place team in the EPL, let's tap the breaks on that accomplishment this season.

In the last decade, they've won the biggest trophy half of the time including last years most improbable run ever. It's not an exaggeration. They are just mentally stronger than every other club in champions league. And, let's not forget that Liverpool is the 2nd hardest out in Europe especially at Anfield.

I wish Man U had their mental toughness in Europe.

That was a shot at Liverpool not Real Madrid. As a United fan you should have noticed that immediately.

I am well aware of the greatness of Real Madrid.

Sorry since the game ended every English speaking pundit has talked ad nauseum how Liverpool lost rather than what Real Madrid did to them. It's like this isn't some plucky upstart. Real Madrid has proven time and time again that mostly dead isn't good enough. They have to be all dead.

I keep seeing this and can't figure out whether I want to laugh out loud or shed a tear. This is a broken man before the game even starts.

Y'all gonna be laughing out the other side of your face when we tie up the tie with 3 first half goals only to hemorrhage 3 more in the second.

But yeah, we're a shell of our former team at the moment. From playing in every possible match in pursuit of four trophies in 22 to being out of contention for all of them in 23. Fun times!

It was a good run...but it has clearly come to an end this year. Crazy how quick the drop off has been.

Over:under on Reyna/Pulisic combined minutes? I'm going with 22 and taking the under.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

I think if we get to 80' and both are still on the bench, they should go behind the 4th official and play chess like the fake Ronaldo-Messi picture.

Reyna entering early and clearing the missed Pk gave them a re-do on a really unlucky pen and bad 1st take by havertz

In his defense, everyone else was also encroaching.

There were like 8 people in the box early because of that ridiculous stop and start pk.

They have to outlaw the starting and stopping pk kicks.

Ignorant question here, but how come the Chelsea player could enter early? The Dortmund players were basically just chasing him.

In my ignorance, I've always thought everyone had to stay out till the kick.
oh no

Yeah, he's like the 8th player to enter early, 5 of them being Chelsey players, but he happened to be the one who cleared the bad take

That's what I don't understand, a Chelsea player was a good 3 yards into the box at the time of Havertz striking the ball. Was the decision only because Reyna was also in the box by about a yard and was the first to touch it?

Just the way the laws are written. Encroachment by the defense causes a missed kick to be retaken. Doesn't matter if there's also an attacking player there.

If Chelsea player who had entered early had put in the rebound, goal would have been marked out and Dortmund ball (not 100% sure, but I think so)

If Dortmund player who entered early clears ball. Rekick.

Thanks.

So… could someone theoretically camp out in the box just for ****s and giggles as long as they don't plan to get involved in the play afterwards?

If a Chelsea player entering early cleaned up the trash and scored, offsides. If a Dortmund player enters early, infringement. Re-kick. …I think
