from the Champions League

in #writing6 years ago

A.S Roma pulled off one of the greatest Champions League comebacks to remove Lionel Messi and Co. out at the quarter-final stage, while Mohamed Salah continued his spectacular goalscoring form as Liverpool cruised to the semi final.

Here are some things I learned from the Champions League quarter-final, second legs on Tuesday:

👉 Klopp has the upper hand over pep

Jurgen Klopp has beaten Pep Guardiola more times than any other manager, with Tuesday’s 2-1 second-leg win taking the tally to seven victories from 13 meetings.

#👉 VAR debate will rumble on

Perhaps the turning point in the tie came shortly before half-time when Leroy Sane had a potentially crucial second Manchester City goal wrongly ruled out for offside.
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin in February said that video technology would not be introduced for European competitions next season, citing “lots of confusion”. Hope he would have a change of plans after last night.

#👉A.S Roma summoned a fightback that brought back memories of Barca against Paris Saint-Germain last season.

A.S Roma 4-1 down from the first leg — attacked from the off, with Edin Dzeko the driving force that finally pushed Barca into submission.

#👉 Runaway league leaders come unstuck
With Manchester City and Barcelona look certain to win their various league in England and Spain respectively but unceremoniously dumped out of the champions league.
Same can be said of Juventus who look set to claim the Serie A title, but head to the Bernabeu on Wednesday facing a 3-0 deficit. Only a miracle can defile this fact. But Bayern Munich, already crowned Bundesliga champions, will hope to be the exception to the rule against Sevilla, with a 2-1 lead to defend in Bavaria.download.jpg
