Champions League 2014/15

[Lineker]

1-1! Morata!

[Matt]

I went to get a drink and missed that goal, until now I didn't realise it was 1-1

[Lineker]

Real diving left right and centre to try and win another pen.

[Lineker]

I know that Fergie has always said that letting Stam go when he did was probably his biggest mistake, but surely Pogba eclipses that now? He's so good.

[brenchill]

And Stam wasn't really good? It depends how Pogba develops in the next years, I guess. Stam was the real deal, though.

[Lineker]

So who's gonna be the new Madrid manager?

[Matt]

I don't think he so much let Pogba go as Pogba decided he wanted to leave and wouldn't sign a new deal.

Casillas

[Matt]

"Patrice Evra has never lost a Champions League semi final tie, what an achievement"... No it's not, neither have I.

[Lineker]

Good point - Suarez vs. Evra AND Chiellini in the final!

Tasty.

[Colly]

I would fully support Chiellini biting his arm off as Evra racially abuses him for ages. I have a warped sense of justice.

[Gazz]

Good point - Suarez vs. Evra AND Chiellini in the final!

Tasty.

With John Terry on the sidelines in full kit.

Manchester United will find out on 7 August who they will face in the play-off round of the Champions League.

Louis van Gaal's side finished fourth in the Premier League, looking to return to the group stages of the competition after a one-season absence.

The three-time winners could face 2004 finalists Monaco, who beat Arsenal in the last 16 this season.

The Red Devils could also come up against other unseeded teams such as Lazio or Sporting Lisbon.

Anderlecht, CSKA Moscow, Fenerbahce, Panathinaikos, Rapid Vienna, Sparta Prague and Young Boys make up the rest of their possible opponents.

The last time United played in the qualifiers was 10 years ago, overcoming Hungarian side Debrecen to advance.

Ties to be played on 18/19 and 25/26 August 2015

[Baddar]

Some tough ones there. Obviously, Lazio are to be avoided. CSKA in the away leg wouldn't be much fun either.

[Rich]

Fenerbache would be tough too

[Lineker]

Chiellini is out of the final with a cafe injury.

[Kyle]

Chiellini is out of the final with a cafe injury.

Did he slip on a sandwich?

[Rich]

So he ate it before the final?

That's normally Suarez's move :shufty:

[Lineker]

I hate autocorrect.

CALF.

[Rainiac]

Chiellini is out of the final with a cafe injury.

Goddamnit. Part of me was hoping he got to return the favour to Suarez on Saturday. I guess Evra will have to step up in his place

[Lineker]

Anyone putting anything on tonight's game? I'm predicting that Juve will perform well but ultimately not have enough to beat Barca on the evening.
