And Ian Darke just clarified on air. 8-0 against English clubs since 2001. 16-0 in finals against foreign clubs since 2001. De Gea esque performance by me here.
In fairness to him most of the Villarreal penalties were top notch penalties that were almost impossible to save.
highest UEFA coefficient ever for a UEL matchday? Edit: this is a playoff round to boot, not even the KO rounds.
UEL has the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th place teams from la liga last year. Methinks another Spanish titleholder.
