Found out an interesting little fact before.

No team has 'ever' overcome a 2 goal or greater deficit sustained in the first leg of a European Cup tie at home.

It happened in the 60's a few times, but the rules were different then (no away goals or extra time, if the scores were level there was to be a replay).

Interesting eh.

I watched the return leg of that, amazing stuff.

It wasn't what I meant though. If Deportivo won 4-1 at the San Siro, and Milan won 4-0 in Spain then that would have applied.

Just like Chelsea won 3-1 at Anfield, we would have to win 3-1 (for extra time) or by 3 or more goals to qualify, and no team has overcome a 2+ goal difference after losing the first leg at home.

It's gonna be one of our toughest challenges of that there is no doubt, but we aren't defeated yet. Liverpool are one of the best teams in the business at snatching awesome results out of seemingly impossible odds.

Whatever Rafa has stewing in that mighty spanish brain of his, he needs every ounce of it tonight

I really don't care who wins tonight, I just want to see some good piece of football.

Tomorrow it will be another challenge for us, the players need to be at their best. And with Rio back from is back problem at the back of our defense (not sure he will play though) we can make it.

      with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
