City was trying to score the goal from 5 meters out and Paris kept them at bay for the most of the match. I am a bit surprised how easy it was for PSG to win this one. Also expected City to be much better.

What to say about Real loosing to Sherif? Did not watch the whole match but I saw winning goal, really something you don't see every day. Check it out guys it is well worth it. @buwaytress this seems like something you could have caught. We "normal" bettors did not stand a chance today

Unfortunately, I skipped that one. They had a huge upset but who on earth except Sherif themselves would bet on their team, right? I did a bit of reading up on them now and it seems it's a corporation-funded club in an unrecognised region. Their oldest player has only been with them since 2018, and most of them are not locals, even the Moldovan national got his citizenship because of football. So I think we need to start seeing them as a proper club, and not a Moldovan club, as the team itself blows everyone else out of the water in their domestic league. But damn me for not seeing this upset.

Still, I am very happy overall, as ML on Liverpool was 1.9 (Trent missing sent bookies into overdrive), and I took both HT and 2nd half wins at 2.5.

Not to mention outrights on PSG, 3.23 odds against City was very enjoyable.

Barca the value punt at 25/10 tonight? We've got Fati who must be hungry for a European goal (I never forget him for winning me a Club World Cup trip to Dubai haha).

That Sheriff's goal was outstanding Grin

I'm not sure what the bigger surprise is so far - Sheriff with 6 or Brugge with 4 points. Both teams were placed in really strong groups and it would be a miracle if they qualify for the next round. In the next games Brugge is hosting City and Sheriff is away at Inter.

Regarding the main game - PSG was really comfortable against City for the majority of the game. City will need a striker, good teams have learned how to play against them.

yeah, Brugge with Vanaken is something worth watching
deliberately planned to watch match in Leipzig last night (could say that Brugge is my favorite team in this season CL), and they were very solid, 4 points from two rounds is letting them hope to avoid fourth place, which could place them on route to good placement in Europa league (that is what I am hopping for)

tough round, but Atletico showed their strength in last minutes to make it a little bit more predictable, did not expect Porto to lose that easily, after Sporting having five pieces at home from Ajax, now Porto, and teams from Portugal used to be tough on defense

Before game in other thread I said that Sheriff proven to be dangerous by winning against Crvena Zvezda, Dinamo Zagreb and Shakhtar. But honestly, I couldn't expect such outcome, I thought that best what Sheriff can achieve today is 1 goal. But now they are serious contender to reach next round from death group.
Yeah, disappointed about City performance, but happy that Messi finally scored for PSG.
And Suarez scored away goal in Champions League for the first time since 2015. This thing looked unbeleavable for such level player.
And yeah, I think it would be good to start collecting money ASAP.

I couldn't get the chance to make a deposit on time to meet up, but I would have gone with Inter ML and probably Ajax with Over 2.5 Goals.

in the end, you were lucky to miss the opportunity, since neither of your picks came true
Inter was miserable against Shakhtar, ended goalless, and Ajax was satisfied with two goals, ended up 2:0, although I expected more goals from Ajax as well

with all games tonight, I will watch match in Leipzig, and probably keep a close eye on Paris, where I do expect City not to lose

I watched Real Madrid's game and I would be honest it was deserved win for the Underdogs for their defensive heroics...

Real Madrid really pounced on them in attack throwing everything they've got at them but the team stood tall until the penalty which in my opinion was quite a harsh as Vinicius went way too easily and not as any result of the supposed contact, Benzema got Real Madrid levelled and I assumed that'd be the breakthrough they needed, however Sheriff were still very much disciplined and the stunner couldn't have come at a better time, really.

Thanks for the reminder! Also, there's a new promotion live right now. Don't forget to opt in first: https://sportsbet.io/promotions/2021-09-27-champions-league-double-up

Place 1 mbtc pre-live on either the Ajax-Besiktas or the Inter-Shakhtar match and you will get 1mbtc freebet to put on City-PSG.

I put mine on Besiktas double chance at 58/10 but you can boost it to over 6/1. Stupid, I know.

Ajax are literally unstoppable rn, and It was 2 - 0 up just before halftime, I had 3 - 1 in the pool because I thought Ajax would have another easy scoring encounter.

I couldn't get the chance to make a deposit on time to meet up, but I would have gone with Inter ML and probably Ajax with Over 2.5 Goals.

Has there been any information payment yet ? I'd rather we have an idea earlier so as not to have a pool like that of last season.

Gentlemen, don't forget to make your predictions for today's games. 4 of you still haven't done it.
Offcourse, all eyes will be on PSG - City game, but I will probably turn in Milan - Atletico or Shakhtar - Inter on second screen.

Thanks for the invite. I managed to get in already and I saw that all my points were carried over (best feature ever for Superbru I think so anyone active there can join any league).

I don't mind paying a fee, if it's small as suggested, we can all agree also and make payments.

@Trofo @hilarious

Hate to say it as I've loved watching them play over the years but Barca look every inch the spent force Milan looked like when their downhill trend started over ten years ago too. And they brought it all down on themselves, paying left and right with money they didn't have. Very sad to see, as they were the model club Liverpool aspired to when we had the Gillett-Hicks crapper.

United have always done well with shirt sales, ever since Beckham. I never really got it too, but there you go. Now if they're not careful, their debt bites them in the ass hard if they don't win anything over the next 4/5 years...

Related maybe or not, there's this poignant story about Mancunians here. I hate the club, it's just something I have to, but I wonder also if there's a death knell for the soul of every "big" club that we just can't hear yet: https://www.espn.com/espn/insider/story/_/id/32218044/super-league-rage-ronaldo-mania-fight-soul-manchester-united

I didn't watch any games yesterday but it seems there was a lot of high scoring games. Will catch up with the highlights on YouTube. Ronaldo can't have been impressed being subbed off and United losing. Not sure why they took him off. Saving him for the big game at West Ham this Sunday? Grin

I saw the email notification so I joined the pool this morning. Since we've already started, I assume we're playing this for fun?

It's still early enough to think about some entry fee, it would make it a bit more interesting.

I started well enough, shame that I have 6 close results and not a single exact one. That's where Harkorede and hilariousandco made their advantage.

Haven't decided yet but I'll probably go with a small fee of around £25. buwaytress offered to sponsor the pool again so there's that.

I would also prefer there is an entry fee, even if it's little so as to make it worth while, since there's a sponsorship that'd be a plus, but I'm down for whatever.

I'd say I probably just got lucky with exact scores, as it came from the teams I least expected it from, both exact score had to come at dying minutes of both matches.

hopefully, your bets on the game were not on Barca to win, since their play against Bayern was really poor

They were, unfortunately. I know Messi-less Barca is not the Barca I know but I thought Bayern were away, and 35/10 was incredible value for the home side. Alas.

Barca name and history have now became their problem. When clubs get to play against them they are all thinking football giant but vulnerable. Everyone believes they can win against them and nobody will underestimate them since they are Barca. Supporters are also used to certain style of play and you can't even try to defend against top opposition. You have to always attack and have good results, that will be tough this season.

Some more great games tonight, I'll watch Real probably, should be open game with lots of chances and hopefully some goals since I have my money on BTTS.

Barca are a shadow of their former self now. I wonder how much their revenues are going to be hit from losing Messi. A lot of people would have gone to the matches just to see him play and he would have been by far their biggest shirt sales. I heard Manchester United made over 197 million from selling Ronaldo shirts after he signed. Bot sure how they managed that.

I some how marginally beat Hilarious to win the game round, that's definitely all thanks to Real Madrid's late winner, No one could have predicted PSG being held by Club Brugge (those suckers cost me a 10.5 mBTC betslip 😒)... What I actually found weird was that I was the only one who tipped Ajax (Initially, I had a 1-1 draw which I change after I saw the lineup).

I have only 10 points but not yet joined this league so I'm not sure which position I would be. I don't think anyone predicted 5 goals from Ajax, or 6 from City, even though they are capable of such things:)

Ajax is for me pleasant surprise, did not expect them to win in Portugal at all, but they knocked-down Sporting with five goals
regarding Brugge, it was a great game for them, and happy for Vanaken to score, Hans is probably the most regarded legend on Sorare fantasy football platform, been more constant in his scores than most football stars from anywhere

Real and Inter are obviously pair for group stage, and Shakhtar in their group, only Moenchengladbach was not here, but Sheriff is playing great so far

Wow. Just wow. Bottom placed on our pool after half time on end of Match Day 1 and what a battering some of the favourites have had. It's Group Stage of course, the time for upsets. Just happy Salah made amends (man, can't wait for VVD to get back to full strength), got an early live bet on them to win 3/1 so everything to fight and watch for (but looks like we'll bust Blackjack again oops haha). City as usual blowing away everything in front of them, and Ajax the usual bright start and but barely ahead.
