We're sitting on 7 points after three games in the new Champions' League format after an uncomfortable win at the Emirates. Our goal came courtesy of the opposition keeper's butt. To be fair, he was excellent all game and this was just really bad luck, the hard first half Martinelli shot coming back off the post and smacking him in the ass. Trossard missed a penalty in the second half. Raya made a great save late on (see below). With the penalty save against Atalanta, that's three points our GK won for us just in this competition. It's important for us to finish in the top eight out of the 36 teams in the ECL "league" so we avoid a two-legged playoff to get into the final 16.
Calafiori twisted his knee; it could be serious. Sunday will be a struggle against Liverpool.
CP finally wins! Tots must be embarassed.
ReplyDeleteI saw just the last ten minutes of that game. I loved the way Palace kept trying to score rather than sitting back and trying to preserve their lead. I think they'll finish no lower than 12th.
