Underrated moment in the match is Havertz going offside for absolutely no reason on what otherwise is an easy tap in

Havertz is always drifting offside lol

Bryan Ruiz?? THE Bryan Ruiz who scored that shanked cross against Tim Howard about 15 years ago?

Maeda did the same at 0-0

I was impressed with Flick during his Bayern stint, but feck me, this was load of crap today, worst subs ever

That Bayern spell was with a massive corona asterisk. They had a huge advantage in that weird champions league format with the amount of rest they had compared to the English and Spanish teams

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Japan looked a good side

Genuinely think there might be some unearthed gems in that J-League that we should be scouting

I agree. It's a bit surprising that the Asian leagues are still relatively untapped in England, particularly the Prem. It might be tricky to find genuine quality out there but you can never fault their discipline & work rate as their standard.

It was in August, rest was equal for everyone, they also battered Chelsea and humiliated Barca while playing super offensive (but with a lot of risk).

Their defensive line was usually set up in the middle of the pitch, risky, but great to watch.

Clearly he’s been eating his kale and grapefruit every morning

Celtic have had real joy with signing Japanese lads, possibly because their manager had a stint managing in japan

No he had to keep going full speed to get to the ball. Havertz literally could have stood still in an onside position and still scored. There was quite literally no reason to mess it up.

Funnily enough they've literally just signed another one today haven't they?

Good for you though

Seemingly everything that’s good for you has to be awful by law
