'Champions' League
Oh dear.
Thought I'd kick off my US Election-a-thon with tonight's CL highlights. Great fun watching Chelsea get stuffed in Rome - on the day they booked their hotel rooms for the final in May, too. Much less edifying watching Steven Gerrard explain to the ITV interviewer that he won a 'clear' penalty after the linesman awarded the 92nd minute spot-kick for what was a fifty-fifty at best and in some opinions a dangerous challenge by Gerrard. Alan Green had the good grace to call it a shocker on the radio commentary so that shows it was bent. Shocking decision and very hard on Athletico who looked comfortable throughout.

You can see from this close-up of the linesman's face he wasn't entirely convinced after flagging for the foul.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
