Real currently 3-0 down at home to Shaktar.

Lost 3-2. And remarkably, Shakhtar got that result with just 13 first-team squad members, following 19 positive COVID tests that included many of the usual starting XI. Incredible result.

Good win for Liverpool. Very open game as you'd expect at Ajax. Could have finished 3-3.

Would have been interesting to see where we would be now if we had managed to persuade Castro to join us when he turned down the chance and we went with Gomes.

Didn't realise they were down to the absolute bones of the squad either - makes the result even better. Watched the last 25mins and despite the correctly disallowed goal in injury time, Real really didn't threaten and Shaktar looked dangerous on the break.

You’d almost think already at this early stage Liverpool are shoe ins for getting through to the next stage having probably played the best team in their group away from home and keeping a clean sheet without their best GK/CB/CM for a half

Must admit I was surprised to see Klopp throw Shaqiri, Jota and Minamimo on so early for Mane, Firmino and Mane but they all played relatively well. Signs seem pretty ominous for Origi now

I'd have said the same for Origi had Elliott not gone on loan to Blackburn (and by all accounts a clear MotM on his debut last night) - so there's a chink of light for Origi, but I think his days as first off the bench are done.

I actually fancy Atalanta to join Liverpool in the knockout stages. 23 goals in total (14 for Atalanta) in their four Serie A games so far, and they blew Midtjylland away last night.

Think Mowbray will work wonders for Elliott. Always got the impression he has a slight attitude problem (although that’s just based off an estimate) and he’s exactly the sort of old school manager who can get him up to speed and ready to compete in Liverpool’s squad in the future

Tough group that one, you have to feel sorry for Midtjylland!

^Only just spotted the reaction of the fan behind the goal. He's had enough lads, he is off home.

[Sanguine]

Great goal. Beats two in midfield as well.

I've always like that the person who passed the ball to them gets an assist

e.g. Brian McClair to Beckham

[Winston Biscuit]

one of the many* reasons I hate assist stats

Real Madrid lose 2-0 to Borussia munchengladbach

[Hendo]

Playing 85 minute games in the Champions League now are they?

[Old Man Andrews]

What a moron.

I posted it before the game ended and it should have said losing.

Dundalk are the first team in the history of the Europa League to not commit a single foul in the entire game.

Pussies.

Erling Haaland the fastest player to 15 Champions League goals (albeit he is now on 16), in just 12 games. Beats the record previously held by Van Nistelrooy and Soldado, which was 19 games.

He's got 17 in 13 games now this season for Dortmund. 23 in 18 if you include his goals for Norway.

I really hope Real Madrid or Barca don't get hold of him, would love to see him over here in the Premier League on a weekly basis.
