@OfficialPDC The context makes it even more outstanding. Brooks had come back from 0-2 down to win the previous set, and did the same to force a decider in the decider. Then this. Probably one of the best legs of darts at the Ally Pally ever IMO.

@Der_Augustus We were the better team. The coach got it just right, and some poor errors cost us in the end. These teams are evenly balanced though, and we can definitely score over there. No away goals rule to worry about either.

@DonKimmich6 Cruyff was great, but the praise is disproportionate. The media love his rebellious "rock star" character, which means he is put on a pedestal. We see that turn against Sweden, a move that ended nowhere. Meanwhile Gerd Müller's moment was a trademark finish to win a World Cup.

This is the sort of player we don't want at Bayern. The club helped him through his many long spells off the pitch, and even supported him during his messy domestic abuse court case - and this is how he repays us. Jog on, you grubby mercenary - you'll fit right in at PSG.
