The way Chiellini jumped in for that ball with his face. Remember when Mertesaker ducked a ball in the 97 minute away at Anfield when we were leading by 1 goal ? Yeah....
Champions League 16/17
Allegri out here on £3.5m p.a destroying Barcelona but Kroenke and his boys wanna give Wenger a new contract with a pay rise from his £8m p.a wages.
Since Juventus Stadium was built in 2011. 149 matches, 118 wins, 26 draws, 5 defeats for Juventus
Wow. I wonder how we stand since we moved to the Emirates?
Wait, I thought building a new stadium was the reason we couldn't compete for a while. That's what Le Fraud said anyway...he couldn't be wrong could he?
We also did choose a disastrous time to build a new stadium (not Wenger's fault) - GFC made debt very hard to come by. Anyone doing it today would have a much easier time financing the thing- or we should have got a sweet deal like Sp*rs.
Different circumstances, different countries, etc. Juventus is the most disgraced football club in modern history. I'd be careful of using them as a model for success. The fact that they're back at the top now, richer and even more powerful than they were before, just shows how screwed up the politics of Italian football are.

Yep.
Almost their sixth straight title. Ridiculous.
Having said that their football team is serious. Dominant and defensive.
It's a reflection of how much Milan and Inter have screwed up (or rather, their owners have) - cautionary tale for us. When Juve were in Serie B, one would have thought that Milan/Inter would have created some space for themselves, but hasn't happened. Like Bayern, they have been able to buy up everyone in the league, but seriously impressive despite that.

They've been getting a lot of ref calls this year too.

I like him as well. Probably Venezuela's best player of the past 2 decades. Shame he is already 29 and only just got his big break at a top club.
Dortmund with that own goal, they're not psychologically in this game.
Lemar is such a nifty little player.
Monaco is such a joy to watch. Even if Bender doesn't score that OG, Falcao was behind him to tap it in.
Fully deserved the lead. Dortmund is just awful in defence under Tuchel.

Stream I'm watching....
We really need to sign Mbappe whatever the cost. Guy is an unreal talent.
What a miss from Falcao, open goal.
Dortmund are terrible, but an emphatic finish from Mbappe. If we signed him I'd be excited about our future again.
that defending, so reminiscent of us vs. Bayern
Mbappe is going to go for a world record fee at this rate
He really is the next Thierry. I don't know if he'll be as good but his game is almost identical.
Martial costs 80m. Mbappe will be worth more than that now.
