What a luminous display of high-tempo football by LFC at the beginning of the first half. The rhythm predictably dwindled as the math progressed, which allowed Juve to settle and take control in the second half. It’s a realistic result considering Zlatan hit the post and Juve had a few other clear chances but you have to be gutted to see LFC concede such a weak goal that might be crucial in aggregate. It’s really infuriating to see world class football marked by such blatant blunders, with Dudek’s portfolio of famous gaffes Benites has quite a dilemma who to designate as the starting goalie. I would hate to see a 1-0 game in Turin (a very likely scenario) which would put Juve through because of such a cheap goal, but what can you do that’s football, not the first time nor the last time we’ll see mess-ups in such vital encounters. What a screamer from Garcia through, I’ve seem him score a few similar beauties in the EPL, he’s such a critical player in the squad, you won’t see him the whole game then it will take him only one occasion to set the stadium on fire. What an absolutely phenomenal goal. Overall I think LFC surprised many a neutral fan with an absolutely phenomenal display of electric and efficient football in the first half hour, it’s quite a shame that they lost the attacking dynamism as the match progressed.
Olympique Lyonnais – PSV is on at 00:00, it will surely be an exciting return leg in Eindhoven. I’m happy for Beasley the way he adjusted coming from MLS, it’s in the interest of the game on this side of the Atlantic that MLS players succeed at the highest level in Europe.
Chelsea – Bayern tomorrow, I predict a slightly surprising result.
