Kind of disappointed not to see any talk about Son's wonder goal this weekend. He went by 9 of Burnley's 11 in his run.
A bummer of a side story from the same match was that a 13 year old Burnley "supporter" was thrown out of the match for making racist gestures towards Son. Overall, it was a pretty bad weekend for people who oppose racism in the supporters' sections as there were several incidents at a number of matches. Humanity continues to disappoint.

 Reminiscent of Maradonna, George Weah, and Iñaki Williams. Especially the latter two, as Son's goal also came from having just defended a dead ball in his own half. Also like the latter two, there's a moment during the first viewing when you start thinking, umm, this one would be spectacular if he scores. For Weah, it's when he dribbled into a crowd, briefly seemed to have lost possession, only to break free again. For Williams, it was that one outrageous flick-and-turn that saw him off to the races. For Son, it's when he decided to put on the after burners just before the halfway line. Can't remember if you are a Spurs fan, but Mourinho seems to have turned the ship around for now. Quote:

I have to admit, I was upset when Pochettino got sacked and thought he had earned more time to right the ship, but the team's play under Mourinho shows that he had lost the locker room and it was clearly the right move. I've never been much of a Mourinho fan and we all know he has a short shelf life at the helm, but hopefully he can deliver some silverware before he expires. COYS!!

that said, he's already back to playing (unprovoked) mind games, this time needling Herr Flicks of Bayern. Just Jose being Jose, I guess A bit disappointing that Ajax won't make it to the knockout rounds, and to think, that double red in the match of Chelsea really changed things... An Ajax - Salzburg final would make for a really compelling match

On a side note: Amazon Prime apparently just bought the rights for one UCL top match (Tue or Wed) per stage starting with the 2021/2022 season.
Not sure they will broadcast in the US or whether this will be limited to European Prime members.

Real - City, Liverpool - Atleti, Barca - Napoli and Bayern - Chelsea means a few serious contenders won't see the round of 8.
Tottenham vs RB Leipzig and Atalanta vs Valencia i regard as outsider clashes/pretty much open, only PSG-BVB and Juve-Lyon i feel have favourites. Interesting round for sure!
