So, what's happening. It's not clear from the broadcast. There was a mini-walk out and the rest of the fans are chanting in support of the club? Or is that all Liverpool fans?

British clubs playing each other in European competitions always reach another level. I'm seldom disappointed.
Draw is tomorrow.
Villarreal
Sparta Prague
Athletic Bilbao
Liverpool
Shakhtar Donetsk
Sevilla
Braga
Borussia Dortmund

Last time they faced Braga, they were knocked out.
I'm just hoping we don't draw Dortmund or Donetsk (for the travel).

I had to do a radio show and had the last few minutes on a live stream with the sound turned down, wasnae the same. This has to hurt if you're a Man U fan. listening to the BBC5 coverage on delay and all i can hear is the Liverpool fans, with seven mins remaining. I love Klopp. You'd let your missus shag him wouldn't you...you know he'd treat her right, but he'd be good enough not to give her a night she'd never be able to replicate.
Quarterfinal draw
Braga (POR) V Shaktar (UKR)
Villareal (SPA) V Sparta Prague (CZE)
Bilbao (SPA) V Sevilla (SPA)
Dortmund (GER) v Liverpool (ENG)

So at least 2 la liga teams will make it to the semis in each of the European competitions.
I didn't really notice that they have six of the 16 left in Europe, which is pretty remarkable.

The domination runs deep. They have won 14 out of 21 European trophies the last 7 seasons (4 Champions League, 4 Europa, and 6 Super Cups). I think the only way they don't win all 3 this year is if Dortmund lifts the Europa.
What's more, the sole Spanish club to be knocked out of Europe so far (Valencia) lost to.....Athletic Bilbao.
Today at 3:05p ET:
Liverpool - Dortmund
Sevilla - Athletic Bilbao
Villarreal - Sparta Prague
Braga - Shakhtar Donetsk
...probably in declining order of interest. Go 'pool (especially since Pulisic is unlikely to start).

Fun start in Dortmund. Both teams with good chances and Can with a yellow in the 8th minute which is worrisome.
Dortmund looks more dangerous now.
As the game comes down to the wire, I'm getting concerned about the after-game coverage. Do you think they'll show us some pictures of Klopp -- what he's doing, where he's walking, whose hands he's shaking -- after the game? Only reason I'm watching, really.

Massive away result for Liverpool. A tie and an away goal. No yellow card suspensions. You could argue they could have won the game as well.
Their defense was better than I expected -- part of that I guess is that they were on the front foot on offense for considerable periods.
Outstanding showing by Liverpool, unlucky to not have a lead going back to Anfield.
Sakho and Clyne were massive defensively, and Can was excellent even after picking up the early yellow. Lovren was real solid outside of his one blown coverage on the set piece.

The big objective was to still be in the tie after the away leg. Going back home knowing a win by any score is enough is great.
I just came here to say "LIVERPOOL! HOLY FUCKING DONKEY BALLS"
Definitely the most exciting Liverpool game since I started watching them (well... the one with the best ending, anyways).
