Well, I was watching the first half of the Liverpool game and switching between that and the Sevilla & PSG, which was a much better one to watch. Liverpool, were missing their top players and the stadium was so empty, the Steaua fans were making more noise than the Kop. The result turned out pretty good for Roy for resting his best players, as they have got Man U away on Sunday.
After a good start by Sevilla, PSG played much better from about the 25th minute on and probably deserved the away win.
Good away result for Man C.
(Tech Note: Both Europa & UCL Leagues now use the extra penalty area assistant referees, making a team of seven officials in total.)
