The clash of one of the two biggest names in world football is taking place tonight as the titans of PSG face the giants of Real Madrid.
Yet despite this mouth watering tie the big wigs in RTÉ have decided to show the minnows of Liverpool who are playing the two-bit Portugese outfit Porto.
Football fans are not happy with the national broadcasters' decision:
Why in the name of Christ did RTE pick Liverpool and Porto instead of PSG and Madrid ?

Kieran Hanley thinks that desperate measures should be taken:
RTE showing Liverpool tonight instead Real Madrid PSG. Who ever made that call should be shot #rtesport #UCL #PSGREAL #PORLIV

Why did RTÉ show the boring game and not the PSG Madrid one?

Joke that RTE picked the Liverpool game over the Madrid vs PSG game.

Cian Byrne cannot believe the temerity of the national broadcaster, deciding to show Milner and Lovren over Neymar and Ronaldo:
PSG and Madrid on tonight , and RTE have the cheek to show the Liverpool game, HOW DARE THEY!!!

RTE showing this absolute shite fest instead of Real v PSG ?

RTE showing Liverpool/Porto over Madrid/PSG is truly outrageous

RTE putting Porto vs Liverpool on the TV instead of Real Madrid vs PSG is surely a sackable decision by whoever made it #rtesport #rte #tv #ChampionsLeague

From a purely footballing sense the choice does seem strange, though if they were showing PSG and Madrid tonight you can guarantee there would be as many Liverpool fans up in arms over that decision.
