How does this work then? Spurs match will not be rescheduled?

How bizarre, so a round of FIFA between Conte and Rennes manager then? The group is not resolved yet, you would think they had better contingency plans for covid. Just bin the whole competition at this point.

Brilliant opener from Klopp, how to start a press conference and set the mood before the Aston Villa match :D

Why would you bin the competition?

From what I've read Spurs will forfeit the game. Don't think they'll be too bothered.

It's a way for small teams to have a chance to play in the latter stages of European competition and make some decent money relatively speaking.

I can understand why Premier League teams don't want anything to do with it but then don't finish 7th in the table.

Covid outbreak at Man Utd apparently. Massive drift already.

UEFA: "Following a technical problem with the software of an external service provider that instructs the officials as to which teams are eligible to play each other, a material error occurred in the draw for the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.

UEFA: "As a result of this, the draw has been declared void and will be entirely redone at 1500 CET (2pm UK)."

How can you screw up a draw with just sixteen teams in it?

Preferred the draw against Salzburg but I'd take Inter over PSG

I really thought Michael has changed in recent times, actually enjoyed his punditry for a while, but nope :)

I tuned in for about 5 minutes and when Owen was asked about Liverpool's draw against Inter Milan he said "Its going to be a fantastic occasion and a chance for the Liverpool players to play in the San Siro, one of the iconic stadiums in world football"

They played there literally last week against AC Milan :|
