Football's Ghost

@andruchk yessir Hala madrid!

@FootballsGhost I’m a Madrid fan

We’ve broken all records and ended all streaks this season both negative and positive lol scary. But honestly I’d give us 50% chance to get through, on our day we can beat anyone.

@JohyanCruyff isak injury probably changed the whole tactical roadmap ekitike filling in but you can't run that system on fumes all season squad depth is the real question

The system Liverpool are playing tonight, I wonder if this is the long term plan for them but got derailed by Isak’s injury? They can’t play it every week because who would rotate with Ekitike & Salah? Gakpo maybe but who else? Might explain why they didn’t push for a winger

@JanneCule alvarez rapha yamal together nobody is stopping that just accept it now

I know he isn’t the profile we need but just bring Julian Alvarez to my football club Such a complete and wonderful footballer, this fluid front three with Lamine & Rapha would be an absolute nightmare Get a physical CF to develop alongside him and we‘re good

@ACruishner hall took one scan rapha took three that's the difference between reacting and anticipating

Tracking Rapha when he’s making a run towards goal is the hardest. Notice his he took 3 good scans off the ball whiles he made a blind-side run behind hall. Hall assumed Rapha was moving inside (unaware of the huge space behind him) and took a single scan. Sudden change in direction by Rapha after Lamine passed the ball was enough to put Hall off balance. Raphinha had the leverage to trigger an impulsive reaction. Intuitive anticipation at it’s best.

@Billie_T tudor came in mid season already playing better football frank had the whole summer 💀

The difference in fitness levels alone should mean that Thomas Frank never gets a top level job again, the fuck was he doing all season. Media have been giving it both barrels to Tudor let’s see that mentioned

@FCBJimmy_ november was a long time ago 8 goals later funny how football works

Don’t forget how loud the chelsea fans were when they beat us back in november. Now they are out of the competition conceding 8 goals while we progressed by scoring 8 against another English team. So satisfying.

@mrbayoa1 struggling domestically expected to beat psg and barca the surprise is wild ngl

Why is everyone surprised by Premier League teams results in the Champions League? Which of the eliminated teams is actually having a good season in the league? Man City and Madrid knock each other out every other season. Chelsea are struggling, Newcastle are struggling, and Spurs are fighting relegation. Were you really expecting these teams to beat Barcelona, PSG, and Atlético this season?

@LFCLaurie if that's what they look like when they're actually locked in then the first half of the season needs some serious explaining

Tonight shows that these players MUST have downed tools in some capacity this season because the energy, running levels and general attitudes were far and away above anything we’ve seen since August.

@Tezzathekchen 10-2 on aggregate is statpadding now 😭 bro moved the goalposts to jupiter

Bayern’s approach to statpadding big wins is so immature, they already statpad in a one team league and do the same every chance they get in the CL No wonder they fuck up nearly every time things get tight. Too used to easy conditions, this is why they’re Madrids bitch

@simply_a_sheep @israel_ajoje lol only someone who uses ai would say that

@FootballsGhost @israel_ajoje It screams ai

Galatasaray beat Liverpool in September in the league phase. They beat them again in Istanbul in the first leg two weeks ago. They arrived at Anfield tonight with a one goal lead, an unbeaten record against Liverpool in this entire campaign, and the confidence of a side that had figured the Reds out twice already. Liverpool had lost both previous meetings this season without scoring a single goal in either. Arne Slot himself admitted before tonight that his side had played Galatasaray twice and lost twice, and that Anfield was the first time they would have home advantage in the tie. What happened next was more than a comeback. It was also a statement. Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring in the 25th minute. Hugo Ekitike made it two in the 51st. Ryan Gravenberch added a third just 115 seconds later. Mohamed Salah scored the fourth in the 62nd minute, a record 50th Champions League goal- the highest of any African, with a left-footed strike that Anfield will be talking about for weeks. 4-0 on the night. 4-1 on aggregate. Liverpool are in the quarter finals. Galatasaray had never won at Anfield in the Champions League. They drew 0-0 there in 2002 and lost 3-2 in 2006. Tonight made it three visits to Anfield in European competition and three without a win. The ground that intimidated them twice before swallowed them whole tonight. Two wins from two earlier in the season meant nothing when the tie actually mattered. Galatasaray won the audition. Liverpool won the show. They won the war. My name is Ajoje.

@PSGINT_ respect the energy but psg vs liverpool in the quarters is the tie of the round no arguments

To all Liverpool fans we are going to have a GREAT Game I will be Respectful and Humble as usual but I'm always confident in PSG and that we will go through Good Luck and may the best team win!

@lezico8 copa del rey was basically a free scouting report and barca used every second of it atleti walking into a trap they've already seen

Atleti is a good quarterfinal for us. They’ve arguably been Flick’s biggest challenge since his arrival but at our best they cannot compete with us and the way the CdR tie played out (both legs) is extremely good for our preparation against them

@nonewthing ultimate team is the right framing honestly barca don't just defend they suffocate you before you even get to attack

Arsenal have a lot more attacking power than any team Barcelona have faced in the CL this season except for PSG. It’s not Ultimate Attack vs Ultimate Defence, it’s Ultimate Attack vs Ultimate Team.

@MadridXtra two of the most storied clubs in europe and kompany's just out here calm as anything that's a manager who's not scared of the occasion

🚨 Vincent Kompany: “Real Madrid? Everything is big at both clubs. It's not important who's the better team right now. The history of both clubs, the talent on the pitch, that's special. We expect an absolute top game. I hope even the neutrals will enjoy it. And of course in the end we want to win and advance.”

@kayinselorm @beastRaujo_ exactly and that's the scary part cuz most players at 18 have a ceiling you can already see and with yamal you genuinely can't draw the line yet

@FootballsGhost @beastRaujo_ He’s just 18. We’re still yet to find out .

Yamal's potential as a Number 10 is off the charts You guys can't even dare to imagine how scary he can become, our two major goals came from him dropping his man in the middle of the park

@CFC_Janty 10-2 on aggregate and people still somehow sleep on them every year

When it comes to who’s the most ruthless team in the world, it’s always Bayern Munich

@Rory_Talks_Ball arsenal conceded 32 in 49 games. those 4 clubs conceded 28 in 8. that's not bad luck that's just a different level of defensive organization

Arsenal have conceded 32 goals in total across 49 games this season Man City, Chelsea, Newcastle and Spurs conceded 28 goals across 8 games in the UCL round of 16

@11synergy 7-2 and they're out here saying it could've been worse 😭 newcastle really came to barcelona and embodied the whole league in one game

—Lewandowski missed one that Burn blocked. —Yamal skied another those are two clear cut ones that Barcelona missed in the first half & had more clear cut chances in the second. Yes 7—2 masks the performance that Newcastle did put in but let’s be honest. They embody everything about the EPL.

@iMiaSanMia said real madrid are the greatest ucl team ever and then said "we want to win" in the same breath kompany is built different

Kompany on whether Bayern or Real Madrid are favourites: "I don't know. I don't want to decide that now in a press conference. It's up to you to decide. Both teams have so much quality. I hope we'll have a positive game for the fans. Real Madrid is the best team in the history of the Champions League, so it'll be a nice task for us. We want to win"
