Leeds are *smile*! Back to uninspiring mid-table finishes for the next decade and revolving door managers - after getting so close.

Liverpool v Barca.......hmmm.....match fixing or am I being silly?

That 4th goal was a thing of genius. I don't know who's idea it was, but it was fantastic. Liverpool have got a great manager in Jurgen Klopp, ex manager of the mighty Yellow and Black, Borussia Dortmund.

Hate Liverpool but Klopp has done great things with them. Looks like they'll just miss out on the title but that comeback over Barca was amazing.

Didn't see the game, did Ajax change their shape after being 2-0 up at half time?

no, after the 2 quick goals to Moura they went back in their shell a bit and started turning over possession.

That second half hattrick to Moura in a CL semifinal to win the tie has to be considered one of the alltime great hattricks. And every goal was skill plus determination. Amazing.

good point. everyone is talking about the craziness of what eventuated in the last minute and barely talking about how Moura scored a hattrick in the second half of a UCL semi final to win it. Moura still had a lot of work to do to place that final shot past the keeper, and knowing it was probably the last play of the game. no doubt it'll be remembered the right way and go into UCL folklore

yeah, the first goal showed great effort, shoulder to shoulder with two defenders but runs hard and finishes nicely past the keeper. The second one, the keeper loses it, he dribbles it back past about three defenders who kind of watch him then that great finish on the turn... defense wasn't great but still top determination and a neat finish. And the last at best a 50/50 ball but he just hits it giving the keep no chance.

Don’t worry, he’s getting the kudos he deserves here in the U.K.

And the third goal was more about Dele Alli's through ball to Moura. How he knew he was there is beyond me. Was genius.
