The winning goal was very good but it has to be said, the defending and goalkeeping over these two legs were something to be ashamed of. So many goals and there really should've been more. That PSG keeper looks absolutely awful. Yes could have been 30 goals in the two games. I don't care about bad defending. I just like seeing games with goals.

One of those sporting arenas that just take your breath away when you walk into it for the first time. Agreed. The same feeling I got the first time I walked up to the San Siro. I just don't get the same feeling when going to new stadiums, amazing as they might be, they lack history. And you somehow feel the magic in old stadiums like Camp Nou. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different opinions keeps things interesting for sure but I found visiting the stadium overwhelmingly amazing. Sure, the stadium itself may be fairly basic in structure but it's breathtakingly large and to have a view across the city rooftops one side and the mountains on the other, with the sun setting, man, it was easily the greatest 90 minutes I've ever experienced in a football stadium. Aside from when Villa beat Wimbledon 1-0 many moons ago and I'd taken my great-grandfather to VP for his first visit in about 30 years!! i wouldnt know, i sat towards the back of the lower section, there was a soffit above say the last 10-15 seats so you wouldnt be able to see the rest of the stadium, the atmosphere was awful, there was probably 30 odd japanese school kids in front of me, the bloke to my right spent an hour of the game smoking a huge cigar, people everywhere eating seeds and dropping them on the floor, my seat was dirty, the concourse was just old and tired loved the tour, loved the walk around the stadium but my overall match experience wasnt a very good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you don't see the game as well but the overall experience is amazing honestly, if you can time it so that the sun sets whilst the match is underway too even better, I managed to get some pics on my phone that look as though they've been photoshopped they're so spectacular.

Don't remember if it was in the area, but red card minimum. Then Ronaldo had a goal disallowed when he wasn't offside. So that's a red card and a goal, plus potentially a penalty but I can't remember, that Madrid were denied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropped too many points against lower teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was still a foul, you can't just make a tiny touch on a all and take someone out. Otherwise Navas shouldn't have been sent off, because he got his head to the ball before fouling. Both were reds IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
