You’ll be right mate. Can’t see Liverpool losing by 3 goals in the replay

[Spargo]

Terrible scenes outside Anfield. One Liverpool fan aged 52 stabbed, 2 arrested on attempted murder.

Just watched the 2nd half of the Arsenal v Atletico in the UEFA Semi as I couldn't sleep. Have no idea how Arsenal didn't win that after Atletico were a man (and a coach) down early, completely dominated but Griezman got a lucky one against the play. A great result for Atletico.
In the other semi Marseilles 2 nil up after the first leg.

Poor result for Arsenal.
Was bad enough they didn’t make the most out of playing against 10 men for 80 minutes but to cough up an away goal leaves them in a fair bit of strife

Geez Liverpool riding their luck in the 2nd half

Great result for Liverpool
I’m really pleased for them, it’s great to see them in another European Cup final. It’s good for the premier league too after the rest of our top dogs flopped.

Are you getting tickets Jase

Na mate, I don't even watch our games in full. I get up in time for them, but am so nervous I just follow updates on the App and switch on for the 2nd half. It's worked so far so I'll probably do the same on May 26th lol

Bloody hell thought you were talking to me then, I was bloody surprised, the closest City get to Europe these days is when the boys book their holidays to the Spanish coast in February and switch their ability to play football off at the same time...

Calm down there fella, when I said you I meant Liverpool. No wonder the real Jase is getting confused.

OK Johnny, we'll go back to pretending again

Marseille got up in ET over Salzburg and Atletico beat Arsenal 1-0 to also go through

Bummer, Arsenal nothing to play for this reason other than pride

Tottenham Hotspur have secured their place in next season's Champions League group stage draw, though they could face being in the third pot of seeds once again.

Spurs were handed an incredibly tough draw from pot 3 this season, but emerged as group winners ahead of Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Apoel Nicosia.

After reaching the knockout rounds they would have been hoping that an improved European coefficient would move them up to pot 2, therefore increasing the likelihood of a more favourable draw. But it seems they might have to rely on Real Madrid beating Liverpool in the final on May 26 for that to happen.

Provisional draw pots (*denotes pot placing to be confirmed)

Pot 1: Real Madrid or Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Juventus*, Paris Saint-Germain, Lokomotiv Moscow, FC Porto

Pot 2: Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund*, Manchester United, Shakhtar Donetsk, Benfica*, Napoli, FC Basel, Real Madrid or Tottenham Hotspur

Pot 3: Tottenham Hotspur or Liverpool*, Bayer Leverkusen*, Roma*, Dynamo Kiev*, Schalke, Lyon*, Besiktas*


If Dortmund and Benfica, as expected, confirm their places in next season's Champions League this weekend, then Tottenham will only be ranked 17th of the qualifying teams -- making them the top-ranked team in pot 3.

However, if Real Madrid win the Champions League they will take the place in pot 1 that is reserved for the holders, which will in turn free up a spot in pot 2 to be taken by Spurs.

But if Liverpool win the Champions League it will be Jurgen Klopp's men who move up to pot 1, and Tottenham will remain in pot 3. Liverpool will definitely be in pot 3 if they qualify and do not win the Champions League this season.

Spurs' hopes would not be completely over should Liverpool lift the trophy, as Benfica or FC Basel could fail to make it through the qualifying rounds and make the group-stage draw. They would also move up if Benfica fail to finish second in Portugal.

Meanwhile, the shit clubs in London will be playing Boratstan and Retardestan somewhere even further east than the East in 4th world countries.
