We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Err... home teams just defended in the first game to not concede.
Nah. The lack of away goal rule made the first round have some amazing games. You wouldn't have the all attack 3-3 with it.
Hahahahaha. Is this real?
EDIT: it's funny cause I think a lot if not most people thought the same

It's bad my football interest is driven by schadenfreude, but as ever hahahaha fuck you City.
As a United fan I feel two things are destined to happen:
We finish 5th now the coefficient means there's no CL for it.
Dortmund win the CL and we have to pay them a contractually obliged bonus for Sancho winning it while being a United player.

Insane game, obviously City did everything you want a team to do to win a game but Real Madrid always finds a way.
Really fantastic to watch though, plenty of action, didnt get dirty, teams respected each other throughout. Amazing stuff and I cant believe we won, so proud of my dudes, an insane effort. Was so sure Nacho was gonna fuck it up lol, Spanish radio was going nuts.

Ronaldo will get one last ballon d'or after winning the euros with portugal
he was the betting favorite a month or so ago, if madrid wins the ucl and england doesnt humilliate itself in the euros i think its his unless mbappe goes supernova in the euros or something.
Also nice to have a non-racist away crowd and relatively competent refs.
First half was solid and I was pleased Tomiyasu made the lineup. That second half though… there was no energy left. It was sad because you could feel the game slipping from them as Bayern built more momentum. Honestly they are lucky it ended 1-0.
What? And take away from the amazing accomplishments of Messi in the MLS? He won the world cup only 2 years ago you know
The first game wouldn't have ended 3-3 if there were away goals.
I do agree with you that away goals need to return though. I loved them. A scenario where drawing in impossible and the game swinga one way or the other based on a single goal was incredible.
Cheering for Madrid whilst watching the match in Manchester. Ten Hag what have you done to me.

Yeah, we were frazzled. Arteta is a great coach but probably the biggest thing he needs to improve is squad management. He doesn't rotate nearly as much as he should do, even when we are winning games comfortably. Thus you have situations where Saliba, Saka and too many others are playing pretty much every single game.
He renewed Nelson's contract in the summer. Why has be barely played him? Partey has been fit for a while now yet has played like 10 minutes.
Madrid with the power of friendship and anime.
Also diligent defending, but mostly the former.

When you go out of the Champions League but know Spurs have probably lost their spot because of....Harry Kane and Eric Dier.
Arsenal's chances in the second half consisted of the Odegaard blaze right after kick off and the embarrassing Jesus shot that was offside anyway
Partey hasn't played much cause he's shite. He has no belief in the bench players outside of Tross, Jesus, and Zinchenko, and two of them have been injured for part of the season.
Away goals rule sucked. Proof: we lost a semifinal vs AC Milan because the games ended 0-0 and 1-1… both played in the same stadium even. There are way more away goals now, and teams try harder to win on away turf instead of simply trying to score 1 goal and then defend till the end.
I'm a Chelsea fan and we were crushed by a last minute Iniesta goal due to the rule. Nonetheless I would still have it. The fact you guys share a stadium doesn't matter. It's like Cricket or Baseball. When you can score away goals you must use that game more wisely, like a batting team trying to score more runs during their turn to bat. Each team has the knowledge. It's an extra slice of meta and tactics to the game state.
The one thing I'd change is to turn off away goals in Extra Time, because that gives a team 30 minutes extra to score away goals.
Partey is most certainly not shite, what a weird thing to say. He was one of our most important players last season. He's just been out for a long time and needs game time to get back to full match sharpness, something Arteta has not given him so far. Even in his brief cameos, he has shown true quality...he helped set up our winner against City earlier in the season and he's the one who played Saka through in the dying moments of the first leg.
One thing Gary Lineker has pointed out is incredibly unfair is that the team who play the second leg at home get a big advantage if the game goes to extra time. Essentially, 30 more minutes of the tie is played at one teams ground over the other which doesn't feel right.
that what's happens when your starting 11 have play more than 25 games and 6 of them have play 30+ games this season.
as a comparison its 7 & 2 for Man City
I absolutely hate these "banter" shows, complete over the top nonsense, all in the vain pursuit of getting something to go viral. Football for the TikTok generation.
I have always been of the opinion the opportunity to score a killer away in 30 minutes is a greater advantage than home advantage. Because mechanically in the game you have 30 minutes extra to score a goal of more value.
This one is on American TV, I don't think it would do as well over here in the UK, I think it's been influenced by similar American Sports shows. Even though ironically it's filmed here in the UK in the same building as VAR is located.
This particular studio show is precisely engineered to produce the kind of banter and short-form viral content you are referring to.
I don't see any harm in it, but I cannot stand Carragher. He brings this pretentious and smarmy energy that just puts me off.
Me too. I always disliked extra time with away goal rule. If home team scores first in extra time, the away team still only needs to score one to win. Of course it's the same as the rest of the game, but the home team never got the opportunity to play 30 extra minutes away in the first leg.
