Yes. I think so. I think he'll be determined to start well.

[Saint of Killers]

Seems I was wrong about when ITV's CL highlights rights was due to expire.

[PurplePenguin]

It's nice to hear that CL music again. Hope it's a good match tonight.

[PaperMacheMario]

Bit unlucky for Celtic there, should have been a free-kick given for a foul on Sinclair in the build-up.

EDIT: Maybe he just fell over actually.

[TigaSefi]

Sellick will be pulverised tonight

[PurplePenguin]

Glad Lukaku has got one. Comfortable so far.

Looks like Pogba will probably be out for a bit with a hamstring injury.

[PaperMacheMario]

Dat Cavani header.

[PurplePenguin]

Only downside was Pogba getting injured but it doesn't look like it'll be something that will keep him out for too long.

CSKA beat Benfica too which surprised me.

[Denster]

Good win. Job done.

[Rocsteady]

Dat Cavani header.

Outstanding.

Loved that game, do have a soft spot for Celtic but that was pretty beautiful to watch. PSG finally look like they could win the CL, that's one of the best team performances I've seen in a long time.

[BOR]

I was little worried about Smalling tonight but they kept a clean sheet so I'm well impressed.

Lukaku scored again.

[Corazon de Leon]

PSG ripped us apart there, but I do feel we were a bit unlucky to go down by five.

Yeah but the back of his head is weirdly flat, so there.

am i the only person who wasn't that impressed by PSG? in possession they were glorious but each time Celtic attacked they basically were in PSG's box and only bad decision making and last ditch tackling stopped any real danger.
against better teams they'll probably concede a few.

After Asensio had missed training this week, coach Zinedine Zidane told a news conference that he had a "pimple... which stopped him pulling up his socks," with subsequent reports in the local press clarifying that the youngster had picked up an infection after shaving his legs

He should have waxed.

It was a bit more comfortable than that from where I was sitting - after a while it becomes clear that it's not luck that means there's always a PSG defender waiting to clear up the mess. Celtic made a couple of chances but ultimately they dealt with everything that was thrown at them pretty easily.

Looking increasingly like the Bayern Munich match will be played behind closed doors. What a strawberry floating wally that guy was.

Re Ascensio shaving his legs. WTF? Why?
Swimmers I get why they need to do that
Footballers? Nope. No need

Imagine having to look Zidane in the eye and telling him you can't play because you cut yourself shaving your legs. I'd start looking for a new club now mate...
