I missed the game and sounds like there will be a lot of hyperbole. Don’t think losing away in Turkey is that bad. In those games you’ve got to shut the crowd up and we failed to do that. We’re clearly not going to be the finished article for a while, from the clips I’ve seen tonight and what I’ve already observed the players are just not on the same level as each other yet and as a consequence it means we’re susceptible to turning the ball over.

Also, that penalty that Galatasary got was a compete joke 😂

How are they divided up?

Just saw this now. UEFA Coefficient, where all teams are ranked based on the European competition performance in the past five seasons.

This arbitrary 5 season overview seems to be done for everything now!

Some goals in that Leverkusen PSG game!

👀

Chelsea are the first team in Champions League history to have three teenagers score in a match (Marc Guiu, Estevao, Tyrique George).

That Dan Burn header last night might possibly be the greatest headed goal I've ever seen. It was like the headed version of Roberto Carlos vs France like HOW?!

Also a great goal from Van de Ven scored after running from near Tottenham's penalty area right up to the other end of the pitch. A good week for special Champions League goals!

Yeah that was class too, obviously took some advice from Son!

Yeh some goal for a defender!

How on earth are Newcastle letting Aubameyang destroy them, the guy was a completely washed up turkey 3 years ago!

Newcastle have been inconsistent all season so after beating City on the weekend a match like this was likely to happen.

Yeh was gonna say is he not 38 or something now? Beat Pope to that ball easily enough!

No idea what Neuer was even trying to do for Arsenal's 3rd.

Great result for Bodo/Glimt - what a way to get your first Champions League win!

The final round of the League phase is wrapping up now. Bodo/Glimt have managed another against-the-odds win against Atletico Madrid, looking at the standings it looks like they've just about scraped into the playoffs? Great result for them if so!

Also just noticed that Benfica have scored a 98th minute goal against Real Madrid which grabs them the final place ahead of Marseille.

And by the keeper of all people!

PL teams absolutely cooking this season, even a garbage Spurs side 🤣

Yeah the Premier League teams have dominated the league phase. I don't think any of them will ultimately win the competition though and last season showed that you can't read too much into the league phase of the competition.
