Came off the bench in the 63rd minutes and scored a hattrick, the MBE pays off for rashy lol 
as a united fan, can we start composing a farewell speech for the ufa europa league already?

I won yesterday's bet. But I am not satisfied by watching the match. I expected better gameplay from the Juventus team. After watching yesterday's match I realized that without Ronaldo, Juventus can't play well with any big team. Although I won the bet, but I did not like the gameplay. I expected  more competitive match.

I know you and the vast majority of us won't happy with this outcome. Barcelona fans already trolled Ronaldo after the win and Juve supporters replied as this defeat because absence of Ronaldo. Ronaldo is affected by the pandemic and they are trolling, this does not make any sense by any means.

It was a fantastic play by the lads yesterday, you can feel the old glory running through their veins everytime they get hold of the ball. De Gea made excellent saves yesterday too. Pogba and Rashford are improving as the day passes. If we can get a win in the next match and a draw the match that follows we  should bid Europa League a farewell already.

About time they showed some muscle!

Credit to you guys, didn't watch any of the games last night but you've got the biggest scoreline of the night, your opponents weren't shitty either (or were they, haha). Now if you could just replicate that in the league where the tough lads are, you're on the right track. Got to take advantage of us at Liverpool having a threadbare squad;)

I'm very happy about Barca win, 2:0 is great result for away game, but it's a bit pity for so many wasted opportunities. Juventus without Ronaldo looks not impressive at all. Well, Morata scored hattrick tonight, but all 3 his goals were cancelled after VAR review.

The attacks are so fast between the two I see this is an impressive match even though Juventus lost without Ronaldo, but yes Barcelona is stronger in defense as well as so strong and difficult to penetrate, for me the ball supplier from Juventus central midfielder is still lacking in appearance its supposed to be a placement there with some good players.

MU 5:0 Leipzig, wtf just happened? Maybe their win isn't surprising, but 5 goals, how? MU is so unpredictable this season.
Not much what to say about other games, there were nothing suprising.

Ole Gunner showed his performance in CL with continuous victories, so this can be said by Man Utd to be difficult to predict in his victory, because I see that the EPL is still less good than CL so this is indeed surprising for me with a score of 5-0.

[slaman29]

Who else thinks VAR in Champions League is actually not so annoying? I mean yes you can see as what happened Morata's hattrick was cancelled (poor guy) but I don't think anyone would complain, unlike EPL where every week a manager has a complaint (even when it supported his team).

Now why can't English refs just be consistent like this?

[babo]

It was a good match day, my bet won. I expected FC Barcelona to win but still didn't take too much risk, only played double chance. Odds were still great though, I'm not complaining. Messi and co. never disappoint me.
Unlucky for Juve, I wish Barca beat them when Ronaldo is on the pitch too. Maybe next time, if he tests negative. Hope he recovers fast, health is over anything.

good game, I enjoyed it.. unlike you, I didn't bet, it was too difficult in my opinion to determine who could win
when these complex and complete teams play, the result is never taken for granted

but i enjoy the match

shame about the CR7 - Messi clash.. next game

[docdiss]

Great wins yesterday  what a performance from Rashford, only second (first was Ole) United player who scored hattrick as a sub

[Blackpussy]

Classic game yesterday from the English biggest boys Manchester United and Chelsea trashing their opponents Leipzig and Krasnodar 5:0 and 4:0 respectively and keeping a clean sheet also.

A combination of Pulisic, Ziyech Havertz and Werner on the team for the first time last night yield a better result for the lampard side.

Werner.... Scored, Assist and won a penalty.

Havertz....... assist

Ziyech......... Scores

Pulisic......... Scores

Mendy...... With his fourth clean sheets in 5 games.

Breakingnews

Rashford scored his first professional hat trick after 30 years

They are the worst set of officials they are so corrupt and has the highest backing from the FA and FIFA they can single-handedly decide a match result and go court free. They were not picked during the last world cup so I'm not surprised everybody knows

I followed the first half and it was quite good, dunno how Dembéle scored that first goal, the ball was kind of remotely controlled lol. The cancelled goal of Juve due to offside and the ball touching the hand of Morata could be a new start but the VAR was accurate this time!

[Slow death]

Ole Gunner showed his performance in CL with continuous victories, so this can be said by Man Utd to be difficult to predict in his victory, because I see that the EPL is still less good than CL so this is indeed surprising for me with a score of 5-0.

Ole Gunner's happy face when Anthony Martial scored the fourth goal made me laugh, he had a good performance in the last 4 games and it was games against big teams. managed to win PSG and today rb leipzig (in both games managed to score at least 2 goals and only conceded 1 goal) in the champions league and in the premier league managed to beat Newcastle (where he scored 4 goals) and drew with chelsea. It is a case to say that for the time being the media will not criticize him much and will not talk about getting another coach. Ole Gunner’s neck is saved for now


Chelsea knew how to take advantage of yesterday's game and the next game against Rennes i believe chelsea can win and have good chances to qualify

[xxjumperxx]

This has been my luck.
I really thought Leipzig was going to give us a showing against ManU, but oh my was I wrong... although I still think that first goal of ManU was offsides.
Well the other 4 werent...  

Oh well, I will hold off CL Bets, those arent good for my Bankroll!

With all the technology available in the world they should go as far as implementing some automatic goal, foul, offside checks. It is extremely annoying to have to wait for a VAR response especially when you have all those dubious events.
Regarding the game, Barcelona deserved to win: I bet on Juventus winning and lost, very disappointing game by the bianconeri.

It made me sad that Morata's goals were cancelled. But I don't think VAR is guilty here. I like VAR very much because it prevents unfair things from being happened. If it weren't for VAR, Juventus would be the winner yesterday and it wouldn't be fair.

I thought Juve would win, too, even without Ronaldo. With all the chaos at Barcelona and the loss of some good players, and Messi being kept there against his will, and against the backdrop of that disastrous Bayern result last season, it's easy to see them as a team in freefall that has no chance of competing against the best teams in Europe... but that's clearly not the case, even when they are poor there is still a strong team there.

Actually Barcelona more dominance than Juventus and win with good score 0-2, I think Alvaro Moratta have bad day last night after The referee disallowed three goals for being caught offside. Var give bad result for Juventus and get lucky for Barcelona, I think Juventus have good playing with created many attempt than Barcelona just have good chance when Antoine Griezmann's shot still hit the Juventus crossbar which was escorted by Wojciech Szczęsny. Give warning for Andrea Pirlo because he begin match for Juventus with bad result after draw with Helas Verona and have lost with Barcelona.

I can say that Juventus this season is not as strong as last season. They made some bad transfers imo, they let Pjanic and Douglas Costa go to other clubs but they did not get new players with equal skills. Especially Pjanic, he was the main actor of Juventus who control the game play as a midfielder but now Juventus has no player as good as him to control their game. Missing Ronaldo make the situation even worst, he is someone who can motivate their teammate, who push their teammate's spirit when they are down but there was no one who could act like him. On the other side, even though Barcelona also has some internal problem but they still have many good players compared to Juventus.

[giammangiato]

Yes, Juventus seem tired and not in good shape.
Barcellona play good, like other matches.

I bet on Juventus (because i'm Italian guy) and i lost.. is a game.

Of course it's nice when Barcelona win the match, they look good even though they were very bad before when they lost to Madrid. I don't think they were any better than before before the game started, but the final result and the course of the game say something else. They are good and capable of winning game.

I bet on Juventus (because i'm Italian guy) and i lost.. is a game.

Sorry mate, Barcelona played better than Juventus last night. Of course it's not fun about your loss, but it's good that you admit that Barcelona are better in that game.
