I don't much bother with the Champions League, but stuck this one on and was glad I did. Enthralling game from start to finish, City deserved winners in the end.

More Jenus Genius tonight when De Bruyne and Mahrez were lining up the free kick:
"I think Mahrez is saying to De Bruyne he wants a go at this, but there's absolutely no way...."

*Mahrez plants in the the bottom corner*

"Oh wow, they tricked them!"

:facepalm:

Anyone watching the United v Roma game? I reckon that penalty decision against Smalling (on Cavani) is one of the worst refereeing decisions I have seen.

We were flicking between games and didn't see a single live goal apart from that one. We saw the incident and couldn't believe it was ruled a penalty and not ruled out by VAR.

It's a foul anywhere else, why is it not a foul in the area? Do the laws magically change in the penalty area? Apart from the obvious change from free-kick to penalty.

Never liked AS Roma ever since they beat Dundee United in the European Cup semis

Went to bed at half time,was quite pleased when I checked the score this morning

Both go for the ball, both miss the ball. There isn't any contact between Smalling and Cavani until this moment - purely incidental, the ball is 8 or 9 yards away by that point - never a penalty:-
