I'm a Barca fan, but that's what I expected.
They literally fell asleep on that last goal, their back to the ball, not paying attention. The stuff I grief my kids for doing.
Going into a second leg with a big lead gets them every time. They don't play hard or hungry enough. Their defense was full of holes today.

That’s on the coach and veterans on the team. If you looked at Messi and Suarez the final 15 minutes, they had no sense of urgency. Go down f’n swinging! They showed Kloops interview from yesterday and even without Salas and Firminho, he had a ‘we can do it’ attitude. He said even if we lose, we will lose fabulously (or words to that effect). That’s how you coach!

So disappointing...I thought they would get the last laugh but they didn't have nearly as many good opportunities in the 2nd half as compared to the first. Although it may be the kiss of death, I would sure like to see CinderellAjax show up tomorrow and finish business, and then become the sports story of the year with a Champions League victory.

Unbelievable.
Holy Cow!!! What an amazing finish!!! 2 of the most incredible 2nd Leg finishes EVER!
No doubt! What a couple of days of Champions League football. Just ridiculous.

Didn't see either of these results coming, but that's the way this game is.
Great matches.
Great matches.

Some great games and epic comebacks of late. The Reds in PK's again?
Good article on Robertson's hard work and dedication to get there:

Overall boring game, last 15-20 plus overtime saved it from being a snoozfest, but congrats to the Reds. Undoubtedly proved to be the best team with the best coach in Europe this year.
It was textbook application of the new handball rules. In addition to weird results like that one, this game might encourage players to look for outstretched arms in order to shoot deliberately at the arms and get a penalty.
I noticed that later in the game some players in the PA were running with their hands locked behind their backs.
