Yikes, Spurs...
That was ugly. This team is running on fumes.

If Mr. Levy can't be persuaded to give Poch money to spend, there's really nothing more Poch could do...

Props to Liverpool for fighting until the end...and to Virgil van Dijk for signaling who to kick the pass for the winning header.

two goals tonight so far. Shades of Istanbul, dare I say?

Look at TAA, marauding down the wing and giving Barça all sorts of trouble. Alba can't roam, when TAA can easily catch the former out of position.

Blimey! 4-0. Although it does give me a tinge of sadness that Andy Robertson used to be a Tiger (Hull City)

They are worth it. Barca are so poor in away games. Someone said they scored 2 in the last 8 away in cl knock outs, probably correct.. They are better than this. But liverpool has been the better team over the 2 legs.

LFC got him on the cheap after Hull City (presumably your team?) went down in 2017. I still remember him harassing Man City in that 4-3 win in early 2018, marauding all the way to the box to press Ederson. Quality addition.

And Shaqiri picked up last year from Stokes. Their front office sure is shrewd

Yes, he was one of Hull's best players but poor ownership caused Steve Bruce to quit and broke up their best ever team. Harry Maguire was sold way too cheaply as well then won the league with Leicester and was fantastic for England at the WC.

LFC has heart. CL may still be theirs even if EPL just out of reach. Big props to the lads. They have everything my Gunners don’t. Big sigh.

And we are treated to yet another exciting finale! Too bad that both teams are generally likeable, and I don't have a bad word to say for either. It'd be sad for whomever that bows out tonight...

Arent you glad you live in Seattle and not Merseyside? Apparently airfare from England to Madrid is hovering at $1500, having gobe up $400 in the past few hours.

Then there are AirBnB hosts cancelling reservations and immediately hiking prices.

This is really bollocks.
