For all their quality Barcelona's main problem is that they play in a league they can win at a canter, most of their matches are a foregone conclusion. Last night they came up against a side who have to scrap for every point no matter who they play, and it showed.

In fact over the two legs Liverpool were the better side, despite the drubbing in the first leg they had the chances to win it.

View attachment 465618 I'm just in from tonight's game and I have to say I'm rather happy. D'you know, I've been going to that stadium and stood/sat in or around that same spot I was in tonight for fifty five years and I have to say that was one of the most memorable and significant nights I've ever experienced. So sleep may be rather elusive tonight!

I had a 300mm lens with me so took this before KO which is unusual because we don't normally see King Jurgen on the pitch before the game.

Excellent result and well deserved.

Another Liverpool fan here, was listening on Radio5 live when my daughter walked in just before they scored the 4th goal- she asked who scored I have failed in my attempts to educate her about football and had to explain that Anfield would not be making that noise if Barcelona had scored. She supports whoever are winning that year so a Liverpool supporter this year although I do remember a dark time when she supported Chelsea.

I don't think that is true and long term stats suggest the opposite, it's not the title race alone that determines a leagues competitiveness but the race for Europe and the fight to avoid relegation. La Liga will get even more competitive now the big 2 have lost their wildly advantageous TV deal, Valencia, Seville, Atleti have closed the gap, Bilbao & Betis amongst others will follow.

How many games have Liverpool lost this season? Yet Barca? And l believe any lower table La Liga team would beat a PL one in a 2 leg tie.

Name your title winner for each for next season, you'll pick the winner from 2 for each league.

From a Barnet and a Spurs fan, well done Liverpool. I listened to the game on the radio and it was great to listen to a great game.
Now it is Spur's turn. Only one down, it is very do-able.

A big effort from the Drury Lan Fan-Dancers tonight to get us an all-English European Cup Final! Come on you Spurs!

Sounds like he was already heading for the exit door anyway.

Right i was out last night visiting.So i recorded the big football match .After tea i am going to watch it.So don't spoil it for me by telling me the score.

 

[Beebo]

Can’t see Spurs pulling 3 goals back from here.

 

[AndyRM]

Well, they've made a start. But it's the hope that kills you...

 

[AndyRM]

And that's a second for Spurs... game on!

 

[Slick]

I turned over. Thought it was done.

 

[Beebo]

No way. My heart cant take another game like this.
