[EddieG]

[GoN_]

Completely deserved. Like I said, that half time substitution was awful.

bad portuguese! bad!

[Lineker]

This is amazing. Llorente is in tears.

Amazing scenes.

[METALMAN]

fuckin boooooo

In the other semi, Adrian Lopez gave Atletico a 1-0 win to extend their aggregate lead and put them through to the final. However their captain Tiago will miss out after receiving his marching orders for a slap on Roberto Soldado.

[Gazz]

Bielsa! My hero!

bad portuguese! bad!

I watched the game as if they were too foreign teams. Just wanted to see some football, no feelings involved.

But yeah, they are Benfica's rivals, so I'm not sad for them.

[IAceI]

AUPPPAAAAA!!!!

I love Fernando Llorente.

[Colossus]

Llorente crying is one of the best moments of the year, a guy that was dubbed by some fans as a traitor scoring the goal in that moment, fuck yeah

I just wanted to emphasize that last part.

I didn't watch the game, but I loathe Sporting, so... AWESOME, BILBAO

why were they calling him a traitor?

Isn't he in the Spanish national squad? Given that the Basque Country defend the separation from Spain, and Bilbao is formed by Basque players, I'd guess that's it.

[METALMAN]

really? that's a bit unusual. there's loads of Bilbao players that have played for Spain. I presume the likes of Exteberria and URzaiz got that too?

[EddieG]

There were 4 Bilbao players called up to the Spanish squad in their last game against Venezuela, and even one playing for Venezuela.

[Johnny Latino Heat]

I don't know if that's the reason either, I just hazarded a guess, as I can't think of any other reason why Llorente would be called a traitor, that's what occurred to me.

[The Lusophone]

Could be that Llorente's been linked with a few sides this season (but so have other Athletic players so maybe not) and the fans think he's angling for a move. Anyone know when his contract's up?

why were they calling him a traitor?

Due to the rumors that hs could go to Real or Barcelona, really.
