Kad vidiš parove večeras pomisliš da se igra Evropa Liga a ne Liga Prvaka.

[akisarajevo92]

osmijeh igraca Newcastlea dok slusaju himnu Lige prvaka na kultnom San Siru pokazuje koliko natjecanje jos ima dusu u moru dvega ostalog sto je moderni fudbal izgubio

neka je sretan pocetak Lige prvaka svima koji slave, po posljednji put u ovakvom formatu

[Arvid]

Forza Milan, trpaj šugu.

[Finn]

Kako su lose obje ekipe, koliko amaterskih gresaka...

[Romagnoli13]

Kako su lose obje ekipe, koliko amaterskih gresaka...

Teško priznati da je Milan zasad bolji od napuhanih engleza, pa se priča o nekim greškama.

[akisarajevo92]

Newcastle na konopcima

[Romagnoli13]

Pope već 5 odbrana a tek 20 minuta prošlo

[MoodyHank]

Pope je pri svakom šutu savršeno bio postavljen.

Teško priznati da je Milan zasad bolji od napuhanih engleza, pa se priča o nekim greškama.

Sta je tesko priznati, bolji je za klasu. Sto ne mijenja cinjenicu da su pojedinci Milana pravili komicne greske u napadu, ono je u ozbiljnoj ekipi nedopustivo.

Jedina greška je kad RLC nije dodao bolje loptu da Leao-a. Svi ostali napadi su završili šutem na gol.

[Arvid]

Gledaj ovog, od plate bi mu odbio.

[Romagnoli13]

E moj Rafa to se završava odmah. Ovdje samo čudo može spasiti Castle od poraza ili neka glupost igrača Milana

[MoodyHank]

Nikad ozbiljnog igrača od njega, cirkusant obični.

Newcastle zalutao u LPa. Što će se i pokazati ove sezone. Ako budu u top6 u ligi to će biti uspjeh.
