RustyRightPeg Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Zero to hero for the Madrid keeper following his blunder in the first leg. Glad to see them through, hate Man City.

Games gone etc !! I sound like a right grumpy auld git but it's just a farce. Even the place in the CL for the Europa winner, I've not really got a problem with. At least if the scenario above occurs then Atalanta will at least be rewarded for winning something. But if they do, it should be at the expense of the lowest team from the Italian league. If they need another team to make up the numbers, then promote a team from the qualifiers that may have actually won their ****ing league.

leginten Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 31 minutes ago, Nookie Bear said: Because i like football and all this does is siphon more money towards the already wealthy leagues. European competitions have gone exactly the way UEFA, TV and the big leagues wanted them to. In the Champions League era (1992-3 onwards), only Ajax and Porto from outside the big five leagues have made it to a final. And I’m guessing Netherlands and Portugal are sixth and seventh in the pecking order anyway. This century, only Porto have managed it. 51 out of the last 52 CL finalists have been from the big five. The small countries have been frozen out. Contrast that with the pre-CL era, where there were European Cup winners from Romania, Yugoslavia, Scotland, Portugal and the Netherlands. Losing finalists from those countries as well as Sweden, Greece and Belgium. Even in the Europa League, it’s very difficult for the smaller countries to compete. Since 2017, only Rangers have made it to a final. The Conference will go the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballfirst Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 From the IFAB Laws of the Game 3. Penalties (penalty shoot-out) Penalties (penalty shoot-out) are taken after the match has ended and unless otherwise stated, the relevant Laws of the Game apply. A player who has been sent off during the match is not permitted to take part; warnings and cautions issued to players and team officials during the match are not carried forward into penalties (penalty shoot-out).
