RE: "Absorbing" - according to the panel of "experts" at half-time nt it's absorbng my time when I should be in bed! late here!
Poor game I watched extra time and most of the second half...saw very little quality from either side
Surely it can't have been as bad as last year's final? Rangers v Zenit wasn't it? Rangers played for a 0-0 and it was about the dullest game I ever watched.
Shakhtar Looked great for the first 15 mins or so. Then, after taking the lead with 20 mins to go, they closed the game down excellently. They never looked like giving up their lead - were you watching Simon?
RE: Shakhtar They've defended well all tournament - it's not been great to watch though. Stark contrast to Zenit who won it playing some breathtaking attacking stuff last season.
