Inter Barcelona Champions League semi final
- Thread starter Deiseblue
- Start date
RTE2 have it live, 7:30 pm tonight.
I watched last night's extravaganza on Amazon Prime. What a match! I backed the losers, I have a thing for Barca. Acerbi's 90++ minute equaliser was exquisite and overall Inter deserved the win. Maybe once in a generation do you get matches like that.

I am delighted to see PSG as Champions League winners...... especially without ' big names ' Messi , Neymar Mbappe etc. It just goes to prove that when all that is required is a good squad .
Look at all the money that they , wasted , sorry spent in the last few years on the ' star players and didn't need to...

I watched four matches yesterday. Our local unisex Under 5’s played their big hearts out and lost to stronger opposition. No tears, no effing and blinding, just honest underage hurling and smiles. Well Done to both teams.
Back to the tv for Leinster V Scarlets. Again a good honest game where both teams competed. Congrats to Leinster.
Then I watch Munster leave their all in South Africa being beaten on penalties after extra time still let the teams tied. Notable Incident:- One of the opposition took a dive after taking one of the penalties. It too six physios to treat him right next to Jack Crowley who was preparing one of his kicks. The ‘injured’ player had time to smile and wink on live tv while prolonging his faking injury. I didn’t realise I was such a good lip reader looking at Crowley lecturing the ‘injured’ player on gamesmanship after his kick.
Then the Champions League Final. Good game. An over expressive manager behaving like a teenage tilted lover whenever he disagreed with the referee. Well Done PSG!
PS - The referee did everything he could to call the U5 match a draw, but the evidence was overwhelming. The local supermarket sponsored chocolate, sweets, soft drinks, water for everybody playing and attending. No tears only rain which I’m sure nobody noticed.

The like is in agreement with the sentiments expressed in your post although I lost all love for Munster's South African opponents during the penalty taking. Fair play to Jack holding his nerve in the face of the disgraceful play-acting, the direct intervention by a SA alickadoo and the fans jeering and booing the kicker. I too discovered I can read lips and I couldn't argue with feelings expressed on the telly in the circumstances.
p.s. Commiserations to the under 5's. Hopefully there weren't too many tears.

A good example of successful sports-washing.
Though it was a great game.
