    I presume this Napoli monstrosity is a European only first kit?

      2-1 at half time. Although I suspect PSG’s should have been chalked off for offside for a similar reason Mane’s the other day. Cavani in an offside position played for the ball but missed and the full back put it in after that. Good finish though.

        Yes, Cavani clearly offside.

          The change is black

            The changes to the Champions League/Europa League coverage on US television are really startling this year. TNT...the creation of a new streaming service from Bleacher Report...Steve Nash as a studio analyst. And worst of all, no Europa League games at all on television until the final.

              TNT's graphics department have decided to abbreviate PSG on the score graphic as...PAR. Mind boggling.

                BT’s team absolutely incandescent that they can’t work out who made the correct decision to disallow Liverpool’s goal and when.

                  Same in the Netherlands, and the (presumably official) graphics have them as "Paris" in longform.

                    Late decision, but correct.

                      The PAR graphics are UEFA-generated and the latest example of the Qataris’ attempts to rebrand their club as “Paris”, notwithstanding all of the historical reasons why that is inappropriate.

                      Stade Francais have been pushing a similar ruse in rugby union for some time.

                        PAR on RTE, PSG on BT sport

                          Given that “Jordan Brand and Paris Saint-Germain share a distinct position in sport and style” you’d think the font they use for name and numbers wouldn’t look like left over Umbro stock from the mid-nineties.

                              The first choice shorts are black, they are wearing alternate yellow ones because of the clash with Brugge’s

                                That is a very funny goal for Liverpool to give away, and they did give it away.

                                  I appreciate that Club Brugge should play in their home colors for a home game, but I'd expect Dortmund to then go to something completely different. This looks so half-assed. Just wear fucking all green or whatever.

                                    Conversely, I always like a team to have complimentary alternate shorts/socks in case of a clash with only one/both of those elements rather than making a wholesale change when it isn’t really required.

                                      Lovely goal from Firmino should give Liverpool a deserved win.

                                            Perhaps this is an overreaction of mine to that ghastly left-half-yellow, right-half-zig-zag-black-across-yellow monstrosity BVB had recently.

                                              Not much evidence that PSG have learned from their past failures, although a 3-2 away loss would be a good result for them in a knock-out round.

                                                PSG were really weird. So much so Liverpool fell asleep for a bit. Would have been silly to have dropped points because of it.

                                                  Pulisic's goal was as weird as Dembélé 's was sublime

                                                    What's the story with salah throwing the bottle in rage when liverpool scored a winner?
