Champions League 16/17

Big Willie

Assisted all three goals so far and then scores like that? Alves has been quality.

Someone in Monaco was definitely offside when the cross was first played. It doesn't really matter since Buffon saved the shot though.

Glik was offside but wasn't interfering with play.

I think it's fair to say he interferes with play when Juventus have to devote a player to marking him though. The cross could just as easily have landed in his path.

World class.

How great is Dybala tonight though? The bloke just doesn't get dispossessed. His close control is incredible.

Alves is probably the best right back of all time. It's been Alves vs Monaco for both legs now.

Big Willie

Plus Buffon saved the shot anyways and Mbappe would have been offside on the followup so makes no difference.

We missed a trick not going for him a couple years back. He looked good back then but could never have predicted he'd get this much better. Just needs to be a bit more of a goalscorer and he can be one of the best forwards in Europe.

I've seen it three times now and still have no idea how he got that ball out of the way. Incredible.

That guy breathes and lives on defending. Just look at his reaction right after that.

I would imagine that would easily make it into top 10 best defensive clearance ever.

Klaus

Take a bow.

Clrnc

Have no idea what Jardim is thinking though to introduce a formation they have never played before in such a crucial match. He probably tried too hard to outwit Allegri. They looked even more of a mess defensively than the first leg.

Big Willie

Only need 4 to win.

Greatest modern full back ever

He might win a 4th CL trophy and third treble this season. Can't think of too many players who won more trophies than him

I honestly can't decide if Marcelo or Alves is better. As a pairing though, unrivalled.

Wonder what Barcelona is thinking letting Alves go. He was so crucial in all of their attacking play.

Mbappe again.. this lad cant stop scoring. every goal adds 3 million to his price

1 down 3 more to go.

That was disgusting by Glik

Big Willie

Higuain doing well not to react and get wound up by Glik again. Guy looks like he thinks he's in WWF

USArsenal

mandzukic looks like he wants to kill glik's family.. lol

Claudius

Juventus are the real deal. I wonder how much their team cost to assemble relative to ours.
Alves is 34 guys. F-me. What an incredible player.

Big Willie

That defence is amazing and the speed at which they counter attack is not too bad either. Juve have been very impressive in the knockout stages.

Klaus

I'd like to see this bloke win Champions League once before he retires. He's playing for at least another year but it's a long shot to expect Juve to reach the final again. Class act both on and off the field though. Still the best keeper around at 39 years of age. Mbappe tonight was the first player to get a ball past him in the Champions League knockout stages. He has only conceded 3 goals in the entire tournament.
