Never seen a player dive when he could have a shot on goal.

Not once.

Hagi did it back in Euro 2000, ended his career pretty much, that said I can see why the penalty here was given.

I have a feeling t's going to be Bayern vs Liverpool in the semis.

I want RM, Klopp can knock them out!

I want Madrid to win the Champions League and Ronaldo to break his own goal scoring record in the competition.

Give him another Balon, let me troll Messi fans online.

I honestly think Klopp can knock anyone out. Bayern, Real & Roma all have weaknesses and Liverpool looks like a team built for a competition like this. They only struggle against weaker teams who play more defensive game. They've been impressive against strong sides, outstanding against City.

Bayern Munich v Real Madrid
Liverpool v Roma



Hmm, pie.

Nice!

Hoping for a Bayern - Liverpool final and may the best team win. No favorites there and would be anyone's game. But I'm sure ref has something up his sleeve for Bayern - Real tie heh.

Excellent draw. And people were doubting that Bayern v Real could happen.

Hope Bayern knock Real out, and I'd be happy with either team winning the other one. Would be nice to see Klopp and Salah lift the trophy though!

They rigged it so they could get rid of the suspicions.

Ignoring the normal UEFA bias against English teams, I think they for some reason like Liverpool.... the opposite of most football fans in the UK. :P

Liverpool and Man Utd are quite favoured by them because they have much higher WW appeal which brings in more money and exposure than other English teams, ironically these are the two most hated teams in England.

Arsenal too, the most popular team in India.
