The 3 goals we conceded today..... I wish I could just throw myself through a brick wall. And as a bonus fucking Toornstra got to take the penalty.

Looks like Liverpool won't even beat Shakhtar Donetsk.

Liverpool

Tottenham vs Madrid will be a brilliant game, if those recent results are anything to go by. Gonna be interesting to see how Kane and Alli actually do against the real giants of European football.

Not really any shame in that. Shakhtar may well be the best team in eastern Europe right now!

It would be an amazing story if a team like that actually won the Champions League.

Well they have won the Europa League...

Can't help but wonder if they'd be an even better team (and therefore have a better chance at actually winning a competition like that), if their city hadn't become a warzone. They really seemed to be on the up until then.

Not really, because they would still have far less many than the powerhouses.

I dunno about that, their owner has a net worth of over $3 billion. That's a decent amount of money if he's willing to invest some of it. I must say I am quite surprised there hasn't been a Russian or Ukrainian club that's done a PSG to try and become one of Europe's leading clubs. I know Anzhi tried it awhile back and it seemed like they were making good progress... before their investors pulled out and they went bankrupt. But still, with the amount of billionaires over in that part of the world you'd think at least one would want a top club from their own country.

Maybe nobody wants to move to Ukraine.
