Champions League Thread 2014/2015

Saw the penalty shoot out between Ludogorets (Bulgaria) and Steaua Bucharest (Romania) last night

Absolutely incredible scenes

Steua lead 1-0 from the first leg, until Ludogorets equalised in the 90th minute to send the tie into Extra Time

In ET, Ludogorets' Goalkeeper got a 2nd yellow and so their centre back (Romanian bloke, who played for Steaua's rivals Dinamo Bucharest for 7 years) goes in goal

Into the Penalty shoot out and the stand in Goalkeeper takes the first penalty of the shootout, sending the keeper the wrong way after a quality long run up

He then starts Jerzy Dudeking on the line for every penalty and ends up a good 2-3 yards off his line each time, with the linos & refs saying naff all as he saves 2 penalties to win it for Ludogorets and goes mental, running onto the athletics track and into the crowd to celebrate

superb - i'm off to youtube to watch

Check out the second (especially) and third goals from Malmo's 3-0 win over Salzburg.

The Zlatan tour is almost on in group F! Come on Malmo

[windermere_royal]

For once Arsenal have a decent group, just a case of winning it now

[Ascotexgunner]

What an utter c+ntfest this is.
The groups look as predictable as you'd expect.
Wish they'd just draw balls and have 2legs. Much more interesting.

[TBM]

Group A: Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Olympiakos, Malmo
Group B: Real Madrid, Basel, Liverpool, Ludogorets Razgrad.
Group C: Benfica, Zenit St Petersburg, Bayer Leverkusen, Monaco.

[double d]

Group C really interests me. Also R.I.P Apoel.

[Pepe the Horseman]

The group stages of the champions league bore the shit out of me.

[Ouroboros]

They speak very highly of you, by all accounts.

RIP Green

So ITV had the pick of Tuesdays games

The two options they had were:

Liverpool v Ludogorets Razgrad
Or
Bor Dortmund v Arsenal

Guess which one they chose

[Silver Fox]

Probably still the one that will attract the most viewers?

Look on the bright side, at least you can't be overlooked for a Celtic game this year

I guess the plus point is i'll get Sky commentary whilst you'll be listening to Clive and Andy

[YateleyRoyal]

My first CL commentary of the year....and I get Juve vs Malmo. aplenty.

[TBM]

Media talking about Arsenal having no defence for tonights game - however Dortmund are without Reus, Blaszczykowski, Gundogan, Sahin, Kirch and Ji

So its probably the best time for Arsenal to play them

[Big Foot]

Predictions for tonight, TBMers? I'm going for 1-1...Ramos will notch for BVB

Think they'll win 2-1 - Arsenal's defence isn't the best, even when fit
