Europa League Semi - Lyon v Ajax BT Showcase 8pm tonight

If it is as entertaining as the 1st leg this could be a cracker especially with Lyon requiring 3 goals - no UTD match but that is likely to be a tense affair

Those two goals on HT have certainly made it interesting...

I watched this last night and it was pretty interesting.

I don't normally listen to the commentary but I thought it was informative and well done. The crowd was great and the tension palpable and what an exciting game it was.

Both sides seemed a bit sloppy but the pace of the game was pretty high with some impressive players on display. The Ajax goalkeeper Onana and central defender Sanchez were the pick of the players for me. Chelsea's Troare (on loan to Ajax) seemed a weak link and particularly in the second half caused Ajax to be put under unnecessary pressure by his choices. What they needed was some calming influence to slow things down. Lyon's shooting was pretty awful and that's what let them down.

What a super football match though.
