Hopefully Juve win the final...Napoli win the Uefa cup...then we can start waving bye bye to England's 4th spot in the CL.
Be funny to watch the big teams here panic
They're not playing well or looking much like scoring at the moment, but they do only need one goal to stay in it.
I think its just about safe to say Fiorentina are definitely out though!
Edit: But they couldn't even get that one goal, Napoli out and didn't deserve to go through really. Since Benitez took over at they haven't been as exciting as side to watch as they were under Walter Mazzarri, a lot less vibrant and more pedestrian.
I'm not a Man Utd fan but last night was one of those great, memorable nights that the Champions League delivers once every so often. Proper fairy-tale stuff.
Astonishing game and performance - thoroughly deserved and I hope Liverpool go on and win it now... unless Tottenham get past Ajax tonight!
I think whichever of the three teams remaining win it, there are reasons people can point to and say "Yeah, it's pretty cool that they won."
After such an epic semi-final comeback I don't think most neutrals would begrudge Liverpool winning it; Ajax are such an exciting young team, play lovely football, and it'd be one of Europe's past greats hitting the big time again; Spurs winning it would be something different and see a brand new name on the trophy, making a refreshing change from the constant wins by the usual suspects.
Ajax failed to adapt in the second half. They thought they had it in the bag, so didn't take the Tottenham threat seriously. It was like they were stuck in one approach and couldn't mix things up. Tottenham taught them a very harsh lesson.
