It was mostly excuses about players being tired, or opponents being dishonest, or the officials not doing their job.

It's a post match interview, not a tactical debriefing. No manager gives a detailed breakdown of team performances ~5 mins after the final whistle. It's done to give TV audiences a reason to not turn the telly off right away.

Or in the cases of our recent participation in the knockout stage of the CL, halfway through the 2nd half.

Kylian Mbappé is the best under 21 player in the Champions League history: 24 games, 14 goals.

Already making the history.

Ajax been all over Madrid so far, unlucky not to be 1 up with a divisive VAR ruling (think it was correct but harsh)

They’re what we should be aspiring to be

Outstanding football, filled to the brim of super young talent

Spurs couldn't have picked a better time to play Dortmund.

They lost a 3 goal lead on the weekend, are in poor form generally and have missed 5 of their first-team players going into this game.

Realistically, I think that 3rd goal has killed the tie once and for all.

Just have to hope they get twatted in the QFs.

Liverpools offense is nullified with teams sitting back, looks like they been sussed out, hard to see City not winning it now.
