Real looking soft ATM. I wonder if the ARSE will give as good as us against PSG. I think we saw the best team in the Champions league last night. But I also think we had them rattled and if anyone does get the beating of them it will of come from our play against them showing their weakness last night.
PSG have shown enough weakness that I'm not sure they will win it . Get at them they are very beatable . Beaten x5 times now in the champions league this season , they aren't as good as some make out . Arsenal may well do them .
Agree entirely Tim. PSG are good going forward but abysmal defensively. I can’t see them beating Arsenal over 2 legs. Must say though that if we had gone through, we would have beaten the Arse.

Bayern miss a couple of chances in injury time and Inter go through.
I said I didn't really give a fuck who wins. But I must admit that does amuse me.

Inter have slowly done the job across all the rounds and have the team to win it. Defensively solid and a tremendous goal scorer in Martinez. They drew with Citeh when they were decent and still had Rodri, and beat Arsenal already this season. But they keep on getting ignored over the bigger names.

Edit: As AV82EC also mentioned.

One of my closest mates is an Arsenal fan but the thought of them winning the Champions League makes me feel physically ill. Their wider massively entitled fanbase and, in particular, their twat of a manager deserve nothing.

Once the dust settles I think across the both legs will see it as a huge missed opportunity. I'm putting it down to lack of experience at this level . Hopefully we go again next season .

It seems no one is talking about Inter, what I’ve seen of them they look very good.

A person this parish did mention them as winners pre QFs.

It wasn't me.

I'm looking forward to seeing Birmingham do well in the Champions League. Not only do I have friends who support them, but they would be carrying the name of the city in Europe.

I am not intending to live until am 3498 years old, and even if I  were I'd still be waiting a million years for that to happen

By my reckoning then, we were the best-placed losing quarter-finalist. So we finished fifth in the Champions League. One place higher than Birmingham City's best finish... in the English top flight.

I went wild in my old football team's WhatsApp group when I found that out a few years ago. Found it fucking hilarious. Proper crushed them ruthlessly and relentlessly.

No regrets.

Carrying the name of the second city and that is all they can manage in the best part of 150 years of association football. All they know is failure. It's pathetic.

I hope we get CL again but surely we're winning the Europa if that's where we end up.

Champions league needed next season though . Not a gap year .
