Sweet - it is amazing what some people can do with their feet and a ball.
I saw it. Incredible athletic feat by an awesome athlete.
...but I’ll be watching the one guy better than him today at 2:45.
The most amazing thing is that Ronaldo knew exactly where to go when the pass was struck, you can’t teach that.
Well today it’s Messi’s turn, let’s see if he has an answer.
Heads up play.
Barcelona should roll over Roma, but Liverpool-Manchester City should be a cracker.
Yes. Just baffling that they are on at the same time. And they will bring in the score from the other game so it ruins recording it also.
I’ve never seen anything like that. It has to be seen to be believed. Heart-stopping. Stunning.
Watching the slo mo of the replay, there is an argument that the referee should have not allowed the goal because of a dangerous play. Not saying I would have but stranger things have happened. The rule that I found:
Scissors or bicycle kicks are permitted in the game unless an opponent is within playing distance and the kicker’s foot is, in the opinion of the Referee, dangerously high so as to endanger the opponent. If no one is within playing distance, there can be no offense.
I wondered about this too.

Reminds me of Manuel Negrete for Mexico in 1986.

Even as an Everton fan, I must admit, there’s nothing like Liverpool fans singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” before a match.

Watching Pep v Klopp
Mohamed scored.
Natch.
Ronaldo recently scored two goals in extra time to beat Mohamed 2-1 from 0-1.
