The last couple of nights have been an absolute dream scenario for Liverpool.

Ahead of an FA Cup semi against City in three days' time, they rest half of their team and still cruise through to a CL semi final, where they will face not Bayern as expected, but Villarreal. Meanwhile a full strength City flog themselves in a bruising encounter, losing De Bruyne and Walker to injury in the process.

Hoping the FA Cup semi will go to extra time & pens as well. Throw in another couple of injuries for City and we might even have a chance next Wednesday :thumbsup:

Leicester through to the last 4 of the Europa Conference League.

Admittedly it's the least prestigious of the competitions, but it's still a European Semi-Final.

Someday...

Enjoying the Rangers v Braga game….good atmosphere….home side leading 2/1 on aggregate at HT and Brags down to ten men

Yes Lamie, it's very watchable. Even with 2 goals disallowed, Rangers should make it through with the extra man.

Could be an all-British final or all-German final with West Ham and Frankfurt both smashing Lyon and Barca by 3 away from home.

An excellent night for British teams. Always happy to see the home nations teams go through.

Jocks gonna jock. Doing their best to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Extra time now. Should be done and dusted already, but 30 more minutes against 10 men it is.

Needing a goal, let's see what formation Braga will play with 9 players.

3-3-2? 4-3-1? 2-4-2?

Well they made hard work of that against 9 men!

But...they made it through and did it with 2 ex-Albion players.

England v Scotland final anyone?

Cheering on Madrid, a side with a tonne of history in this competition and the wizard that is Modric.

Can't be done with the arrogant Mancs.
