UEFA Champions League 2017/2018

[Caecuban]

Good matches in the playoffs:

Hoffenheim x Liverpool
Napoli x Nice

On the first match (home at Napoli), Nice have both Balotelli and Sneijder unavailable

L'pool's formation for today...

Gonna be an awesome game, Firmino playing against his old club

 

[varmin]

Firmino is anything else but a central forward. I don't know why Klopp doesn't get a real No9 and put Firmino behind it.

Milneeeeeeeeeeeeeer mama mia

edit: was a deflection, but it looked crazy on first look

 

[ElDiego22]

Very lucky win. Hoffenheim just need one goal and given how weak Liverpool's defence are, I'm sure the Germans will finish them off in the return leg.

 

[CoolMan44]

They need 2 goals but Liverpool's attack is more than capable of scoring again. I think Liverpool will win, don't see Hoffeinheim going through.

And coutinho will be available and he really brings out the best in the liverpool team

I thought that Mertens season last year was a bit of a fluke....but maybe not

Napoli providing a football lesson against Nice. Champagne football from them.

 

[Shaun]

Some weird choices from Sarri, but it's clear that his team have a lot of chemistry

Which ones? They seem to be playing the same team as last year, although they typically rotate Allan/Zieliniski and Jorginho/Diawara.

I expected both Zielinski and Diawara. This is pretty much Napoli 2015/16 minus Higs

Nice wearing our 14/15 home kit.

Anyone know why Balotelli and Sneijder aren't included?

 

[kurt0411]

Genuinely think Napoli are favorites for the title..they got an insane starting XI. They could be screwed though if Mertens or Insigne gets injured

Balotelli has some injury and Sneijder is not fit enough.

 

[Howl]

As good as Napoli have been they have been lucky with this ref.

Harsh red card on Nice and he sends another guy off too I missed the penalty incident but heard it was questionable too.

 

[Ronaldo]

How could Nice win when we bought their best player?! blivious:

 

[Matt90]

Astana must be on of the worst sides I've ever seen. 5 0 against Celtic..

 

[Caecuban]

Important win for Napoli but could have scored more goals given Nice missing players, red cards, etc.
