Last 20 years Spanish teams have played non Spanish teams in 16 European finals winning all 16 thats some record in fairness.

Wow! That's impressive!

Thankfully not always the case in semis. 8)

2001 UEFA Cup Final Liverpool 5 - 4  Alavés must have been the last time then a Spanish team didn't win a European final against a non Spanish team.

Is Ronaldo the only player to have won League and Cup Medals in Spain, Italy and England?

Danilo never won the Copa Del Rey but he's won the rest.

Looks like the away goals rule is soon to be a thing of the past in European competitions.

Nah, the away goal meant very little this year because of no crowds and Covid.  It is one of the best rules in knockout football.

The English League Cup semi-finals have not used away goals and the fixtures lack that desire of wanting to score in the away fixture.

It also cuts out on a plethora of games going to extra time and penalties.

City to win tonight despite Peps selection not because of it.

Dislike both clubs but would rather see Chelsea win it.

22 minutes in and no goals but it is a cracking game.

Liverpool hold have the distinction of being the only Club in England to win the League, European Cup and League Cup in a season. So for that reason alone I want Chelsea to win.

Is Raheem Sterling referee tonight? Another Harry Houdini performance from him in big game.
