CL knockouts

[Satchmo Distel]

I clearly picked the wrong day to spend at a conference.

Or the right day, in that you didn't have to watch that Barcelona car crash live.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Doubt it.

EDIT: To TrL

[torres]

I don't think I've ever experienced any emotions like that in 60 years following Liverpool. Hope you're OK Les it must have been something else being there.

[Lang Spoon]

That was just unbelievable. I think my Man Utd supporting flatmate is in a greater state of shock than me.

[pebblethefish]

Of course, this will make Spurs fans more convinced that the impossible will happen tomorrow night

[Toby Gymshorts]

Nah, the year doesn't end in a one.

[Ray de Galles]

I've just seen Coutinho get a 3/10 rating online and that is genuinely the first time I've realised he was on the pitch tonight.

[Third rate Leszno]

Yeah, bit hoarse and still shaking my head in wonderment to be honest. I was pretty sure we'd win the game, but at 3-0 I felt we'd run out of steam and get done towards the end. At 4-0 I was totally convinced they'd pinch one at the death. Still can't quite believe what happened.

Did our our good deed for the day on the way out when we met two stunned and lost Barca fans and walked them down to Walton Road so they could get a cab back into town without any dickheads bumping into them.

[diggedy derek]

Wow

[Toby Gymshorts]

Tonight's been a rollercoaster, like.

[torres]

I feel as though I've been in a washing machine for three hours.

[nmrfox]

Congratulations to the Liverpool fans on here for a wonderful second leg which just showed how complacent and disbelieving Barca really were. Be fun if it snows in Madrid during the final and the head of the snow patrol team is a Leicester fan.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Whee!

[Lang Spoon]

Bugger, I was hoping Ajax would win it, now the fuckers can grind into dust.

[anton pulisov]

That's exactly why might happen. Although, our defence is better than Barcelona's. And our players actually have the legs to go with the football.

[Exiled off Main Street]

I suppose the thinking was that a 3-1 defeat would give Liverpool a chance to qualify for the final with a home 2-0 win, whereas going home with a 0-3 result gives them little chance of sucess.

How's that working for you. Thrilling eh...

[scratchmonkey]

This is the most entertaining CL knockout phase I've ever seen. I think the second leg of City-Spurs still pips this for being absolutely banana crackers, we're all extremely lucky to get two games of such magnitude, and Ajax merrily dumping out grand old clubs on the road is the cherry on top.

Two years in a row now that Barcelona have absolutely spat the bit on the road, I do wondering if Valverde will be joining the "Ejected from the Summit" thread.

[EIM]

Well this is fucking bleak.

[Simon G]

That Trent Alexander-Arnold corner is probably the best thing I've seen in football for years. The sheer vision and instinct from the young lad, and Origi's finish was fantastic as well.

Well done Liverpool. I just hope Spurs can make it now - though I am definitely expecting the worst there.

[Toby Gymshorts]

I dreamt all that, right?

[Knowlesy]

As much as it pains me to see Liverpool succeed, I think Klopp really, really deserves a European title and the recognition that goes with it.

I am just glad we poached David Moyes in 2013 before anyone else got him instead of this German fella (fucking hell, fella just got auto corrected to Fellaini there, my own phone is taunting me).

[3 Colours Red]

fucking hell, fella just got auto corrected to Fellaini there, my own phone is taunting me.

Clear the cache next time.

[seand]

Nuts, absolutely nuts. I'm normally quite optimistic but I gave Liverpool minus Salah/Firmino no chance really, expected Barcelona to roll with the punches in the early flurry then pick off a rope-a-dope 2-0 win. What a season it's been. The corner was incredible - credit to TAA and Origi but the defending just beggars belief. I work with a really quite weak under-9 side and you still wouldn't expect that level of switching off. Much as I'd like to see Ajax go all the way I think Klopp and Liverpool deserve a big shiny pot this season. Hopefully Klopp can finally get one over the line

[Jah Womble]

When his name is mentioned in full by a commentator does everyone else sing to themselves :

Divock Origi, she's my baby
Divock Origi, I don't mean maybe
Divock Origi, she's my baby doll
My baby doll, my baby doll

Yep, every time.

I also sing the verse to Cinderella Rockerfella when somebody mentions 'Udinese'.

You've lost me?
