Europe’s elite club competition served up another dose of rich entertainment, not for everyone though. It seems you shouldn’t disrespect an almost-hallowed football ground.
Giant-killing Ajax Amsterdam added another victim to the list, with a deserved 1-0 away win at Spurs’ new ground. Donny Van De Beek afforded far too much time in the 18-yard as Hugo Lloris was left exposed. Spurs huffed and puffed as the game came to a close, with Dele Alli only forcing a save from André Onana. Special mention to Jan Vertonghen who recovered after taking a whack which left him bloodied for a bit. Pochettino still has hope as Son Heung-Min would be back from suspension. Ajax looked rattled for a bit as Sissoko and co chased and harried.
Fear it, dread it, run from it: Destiny still arrives. Did you really think Leo Messi was going to let this one slip?
Liverpool got taught the lesson of the famous smash and grab: Liverpool played the football, Barcelona scored the goals. Oh, Luis Suàrez scored and celebrated against his old side. And yeah, Messi’s hit 600. It’s almost like he had a point to prove. He seemed pissed, and an angry Messi is a frightening Messi. Don’t you ever doubt this man is extraterrestrial. Who’ll try and hit a free-kick like that, and in that particular game (so far out too)? Only a demi-god. Lionel Messi is just something else. Mind you, the tie is still by a hair’s breadth not done. Mo’ Salah’s effort could have breathed new life, but Ousmane Dembele’s probably gave Klopp some hope. It can’t be Roma all over?
If you’re not watching this sport, it’s safe to say you’re missing a heck lot. Chelsea and Arsenal try to get tickets to play with the best. Valencia and Eintracht Frankfurt obviously have other ideas.
