Don't think their history has anything to do with it, nobody at their club has ever done anything on European level.

You could make a case for Sevilla who've won the EL in the last two seasons but they are currently bottling it at home where they're a powerhouse vs Bilbao despite a win in the first leg.

history matters. lovren even said that klopp cited instanbul in his half time talk.

jones

Well if Lovren said it that must be the reason they went through I guess.

You might still be right though, Sevilla looked like going out and managed to go through in the end. Gameiro who literally couldn't walk for the last five minutes of ET with a hamstring injury scored this pen to send them through

Of course history matters.

European football is in Liverpool's DNA.

Fair play to Liverpool, that was pretty decent :gape: 🙂

They even have a Klopp-alike hanging about in the stands

You sound like a fucking Liverpool fan 😆

Top game. Dortmund's forwards must feel let down. I studied Aubameyang all. Game. Gorgeous movement. We should empty our pockets on the guy. Reus is an even better player but Bama is exactly what Ozil needs

Feel a bit sick that we are potentially having the worst season of any decent club. Liverpool, City and United all still have something to play for. If they win all 3 cups...

The fight Liverpool shown today, when is the last time we displayed that? Klopp has transformed them as expected and it really matters to have the crowd behind them. Put them in Emirates and they will be facing a chorus of boos at HT.

Sometimes when I see so many wishlists for Hummels I wonder if people watch him consistently. He is so shaky at the back in so many games.

This season's UEL is more interesting than UCL. Quality games all round. Think Sevilla will win it again.

Guys, this is the League Cup to the CL's FA Cup. Hold yer horses.

Klaus

Yeah, I don't get the sudden interest in Liverpool either. The CL spot is safe either way unless we do something silly like finish 5th. I can't be bothered beyond that point.

Well we're jealous that they have Klopp and are capable of European success and we're stuck with the cancer.

Segway

Yeah, so jealous of them having Klopp. Great manager.

There are some strong teams with decent managers in the Europa, we certainly wouldn't beat them.

Claudius

I'm surprised by the reactions here.
There's nothing better than watching a an intriguing and exciting encounter where there's nothing at stake for you. Last night's game would've caused me a heart attack had it involved Arsenal on either the winning or losing side. Rather, I just enjoyed it for the drama it presented.

Also, what's not to like about 40,000+ fans belting out YNWA, or seeing those 3 exciting attackers at Dortmund?

A warning: Do NOT let Wenger turn you off football completely

dreamlord

Yeah, one of the best games I've seen this year. On another day there could have been 5-6 goals in the first half itself.

Dortmund's style is a joy to watch, and I'd rather have a manager like Tuchel than Simeone. They did bottle it though, Arsenal-like.

Exactly. That was one of the best games I've seen in years (ever?), incredible comeback. I find it impossible not to love Klopp and his teams.

I thought I'd be less interested in football as the Wenger cancer bit deeper Claudius, but the opposite is true.
I've lost interest in Arsenal but I've enjoyed watching Leicester this season, they've shown a generation brought up on Barca pussyball how entertaining defensive counter attacking football can be, also I'm now more involved in my sons u/11's team so I'm having a good time. 🙂

jones

Barcelona's pussyball has won them four CLs in the last ten years, no other team has won more than one in the same timeframe. Leicester really have shown them up though

Biggus

Any team that concedes 1 goal doesn't deserve to win a game, never mind 3.

Fixed that for you Jonesy.

Mirth

Also Barcelona haven't been a possession based team since Enrique took over since they don't have the players for it. This has been pointed out to you, since you claim to not watch La Liga in the first place, but never mind.
