I don't think he should. It sounds like he goes through hell just to be able to play due to his lingering injuries. He should be rested for EL only.

Ramos might do dumb things on the pitch sometimes, but he’s not an idiot. He’s been suspended from enough games to know where he’s allowed to stand.

Anyway, UEFA has just said he didn’t break any rules so there you go.

I'm sure since it is the expected final we will not get it, but RM/Liverpool would be damn fun.

Bit of a cruel twist of fate if Roma get themselves a CL title right after Totti retires

Haven't been watching the Arsenal games, but one of my friends seems to be suggesting that Welbeck has turned into an attacking masterpiece in the EL?

he's been better than expected that's for sure. Surprising(to me at least) he seems to operate better when he isn't a sole striker

He’s in a great run of form, and confidence does him wonders as he often gets chances, but with confidence he’ll finish them. Plus, he’s always going to bust his ***, which is great.

I'm starting to lose a lot of respect for Buffon now. His comments were easy to shrug off as "heat of the moment" but now Olivers wife is receiving death threats, people are sending Oliver and his family messages on social media. Buffon had a chance today to say something but instead he said he stands by his comments.

In his mind, Oliver should not have called the pen and let the "pitch do the talking" what a dumb answer. Juve committed a foul, ref called it. Retire with some dignity left.
