UEFA Champions League 2022-23

[Saoirse]

Monaco-PSV ends 1-1.

Rangers having more of the ball but not achieving anything with it. I still very much fancy them to win this at Ibrox though

2-0 to USG! A ridiculous VAR handball penalty, with a shot deflecting onto an arm a few inches away

It's simply not a handball offense much less a clear and obvious error. The ball has expectedly rebounded off a teammate from a short distance and went into the players arm from a direction that was impossible to happen from the original shot. The referee should have rejected the VAR sending down the pk.

Second legs tonight in the qualifiers, Rangers got to come back from 2-0 down. Might watch

41 minutes in - still 0-0 in this.
.
Some juicy tasty tackles going in from both sides

 

[TheChosenOne]

Rangers get a pen, ridiculous hand ball by defender

 

[TheChosenOne]

Tavernier doesn’t miss many.
1-0 on the stroke of HT
Thats going to lift the team and the crowd

 

[TheChosenOne]

2-2 now 58 minutes .
USG will fold now

Well done Rangers. Also a surprise(-ish) that Monaco lost to PSV.

Playoff round confirmed. The six winners go through. Looking at this, one of Plzen and Qarabag will be in the group stage so expect the winner to be the proverbial whipping boys of the group.

With how they do pot 1 now, there are going to some big differences between the group of death and the easiest groups.

Super Cup is tonight.

Real Madrid vs Eintract Frankfurt. Hopefully Frankfurt plays better than they did against Bayern (1-6). This game will also feature the first use in UEFA of semi-automated offside which will use a hawkeye style goal line technology system to help VAR.

May watch it just for the above.

Is this on TV anywhere?

You figure if Madrid score 5 or 6 at least one of them should be close enough to need it.

CL Qualifier

Rangers vs PSV Eindhoven is on tonight but the reason I mention it is because the Irish State broadcaster RTE is showing this live.

The Irish public were moaning last week about them not showing an Irish team
