Tottenham lack gumption. Flatter to deceive. Juventers manager made a brilliant substitution & changed formation. 2 goals & Tottenham never looked like getting back in it. Juventers manager out thought Pochettini. Well done Juventers.
don't agree with the praise Allegri is getting imo. he should of changed it in the first 15 minutes to 4 at the back as it was obvious they were stretched back there. he was lucky Son and Kane didn't finish of their chances because of the room they were getting. once he finally saw sense and fortunate that it wasn't too late the game changed.
after the second goal it was excruciating to watch as I was supporting Juve. so many great blocks but I swear Juve are masochistic. it was almost like they wanted them to keep attacking and for them to do last ditch blocks.
They’ve had something like 5 shots on target in 2 games. Scored 4 times and the 5th was in the 91st min of the second leg when we had everyone pushed forward. Says a lot.
They’ve done a proper job on us over the 2 legs. We’re a bit wet behind the ears with CL experience. Massive improvement on last year, hopefully we get another go next season.
That’s football. Chiellini is unbelievable, so is Buffon. When he cut that cross out, that was magnificent defending. Cant argue with that.
Hopefully we’ll turn the experience into a positive. No disgrace losing a 1st game in 18 to them that’s for sure.
For anyone questioning Alli is a diver, I refer you to Dybala.
Anyone to win it but the Bin Dippers please. That would be unbearable.
Juve started in an odd formation with a centre back at right back and pretty much no midfield. As soon as they switched it up they looked the team we know them to be and they walked the game. Different level.
Also, what a brilliant chat to Chiellini at the end. Great to see a player who is so interesting to listen to. Emotional ending to interview too when talking about Astori.
Split personality over this one , really wanted Spurs through against the cynical Italians but bizarrely I’d probably prefer Juve to win the trophy than Spurs . Having them lot crow on about any sort of success is not a pleasant thought
Very surprising result so far, especially as Sevilla have not been doing particularly great in the league here. Must have been saving their best form for the Champions League.
Talk of an 'inquest' and 'one of the worst days in their European history' is pretty much nonsense.
They had a bad game and lost in the Champions League last 16 by 1 goal. Hardly the stuff of nightmares.
It was more the manner of the defeat. Sevilla are not really a good side, outside the top 4 in Spain, had lost more than half their away league games and have a minus goal difference.
United were disjointed, clueless and had no real game plan. If you were a United fan you'd be rightly furious at the display.
Incidentally we've gone from talk of a possible 4-5 premier league sides in the last 8 and a "new era"..............to now looking like only 2 sides, the same as Italy which is no longer seen as a really top league.
I think the point about Sevilla's current standing is important. They have been pretty average this year and have fallen off the pace particularly recently, losing to Valencia last week to make it unlikely they will finish in the top four. It is hardly like Man Utd have lost to a real contender in the Spanish league, and I would say a proper reflection is needed on Utd's part about their tactics, approach and player commitment.

From talk of all five going through to now potentially only two.
Credit to Allegri especially

Means Man Utd need to score two goals to go through
That'll teach Mourinho to try and protect from the Away Goal rather than going for it themselves
