It works for them, so why would they do otherwise? I don't blame them, although I don't like it. In a competition which is supposed to be the "Champions League", ideally you'd like to see the best from each country giving it a proper go against the other teams.
In that respect, I have always prefered FA Cup games. They're more heroic. Life or Death. Decided over 90 minutes. Over 90 minutes, anybody can beat anybody. That's what I love about it.
I hope he does, but from the looks of things he'll be out for the whole season. Absolutely devastated. My favourite player from last season.
It's down to the turf, like you say. The tackle was a good one. Notice how nobody in the ground reacted to the actual tackle, like they would have done with the Eduardo incident. It was clean. Just...one of those things, I guess.
Hats off to the Rangers players for signalling to the medical staff quickly, and to their fans for applauding Valencia off the field. I got a bit emotional seeing that. When the oxygen mask came onto the field and was placed on Valencia, I found that hard to watch. Really horrible. So gutted for him.
