Alli wasn’t even good last night. He’s having a mare of a season. Trippier the same. Fucking shiiiiiite. Even Son had a poor game and he’s world class.
However, that comeback was more dramatic than the Liverpool one just because of the goal in the last second. 95:01 winning goal. Insane.
So there’s a potential scenario where all 4 teams in the European cup finals are English, with Arsenal hopefully going through tonight, and assuming that Chelsea will beat the sausages.
Has a single country ever achieved this before? It will be an incredible feat.
Gutted for Ajax, but they will learn a lot from that game.
The game management was lacking from both the players and manager in not ‘closing off’ that game when it was at 2-2 at the 80th minute or so. They kept hoofing it back down the pitch and losing it to Spurs when they should have just shit-housed it into the corners or passed it about across the pitch widthways.
I appreciate their niche is attacking football, but they should have set their formation to 4/5 at the back and midfield with those few minutes to go.
I’d be very surprised if Spurs can win the final, but anything is possible.
the issue for Ajax is that they have been a breeding ground for star players for a while and you just know most of their players will be gone before long. they’re brilliant at bringing them through so there’ll be more but this squad won’t be together for long
