What a game, Schalke definitely deserved the win on the night and were so unlucky not to go through.. Madrid are all over the place at the moment. Bale has looked bloody awful recently.

Schalke definitely deserved to get through and it´s a shame they didn´t. Real Madrid was absolutely terrible/on a panic mode and they only got saved because of Ronaldo´s (and Benzema´s) goals. Real Madrid has to consider themselves extremely lucky. Had it been a much better team, they would have been absolutely massacred.

If they don´t get their act together and end up against Bayern München, Porto, PSG, Chelsea, Barcelona, Atlético Madrid or even Monaco on the next round they are going to have a tough time getting through.

DAVID LUIZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apart from Chelsea being ridiculously boring and negative on the ball its been pretty entertaining due to the 50 or so bust ups and Costa hitting anyone that goes near him. Its a joke how hes still on the pitch.. the ref has had a disaster from the start.

PSG unlucky not to already be through tbh, have battered Chelsea all game despite undeservedly being down to ten men

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIAGO SILVA!!!!!!!

:flutter:

Amazing

Great scenes at the end there, totally deserved to win this

Who'd have thought Everton would be England's best/only chance of European success at this stage

We'll be back in it this time next week

Bayern was as crushing as expected even though Shaktar got the short end of the stick by getting a red card so early. Still, impressive performance from Bayern.

How pathetic is Chelsea for not being able to seal the deal against a 10 -man PSG and their main striker out for most of the game in their home turf? So, so bad performance. Still, incredible stuff, a great battle and a fully deserved advancing from PSG. What´s amazing is even though they were a man short, they still pretty much controlled the game.

Now Man City and Arsenal are the only English teams left in the UCL this season. But both are in dire straits (especially Arsenal), so expect them to be knocked out too.

And out head the last English team left in Europe, good job Kiev

some game tho. everton have hit the post twice

Good effort from Arsenal on Tuesday. Monaco was in serious trouble throughout. Shame it wasn´t enough.

Athletico wins it in the penalties deservedly. Leverkusen had poor kickers.

Manchester City was in shambles (the defense) against Barcelona. Without the goalkeeper, the numbers would have been much uglier.

Juventus had no problems at Dortmund on securing their place in the quarters. Routine and convincing victory.

game on?

good effort?

they lost 3-1 to the worst team left in the tournament

it was a disgrace they went out

Alright brandon

bleugh

everon lose to a bunch of lada driving vodka soaks

way to go England

Martinez surely goes at the end of this season, I always said he wasn't that good back at Wigan :idc:

I was talking about this second game, which they seemed to control through and through. The first one was abysmal, i agree.

And i do agree it´s shameful that they have failed to qualify considering the team they have.

Quarterfinals:

Athletico Madrid vs Real Madrid -> Athletico Madrid advances.

Tough and even match up with last years finalists. On the paper Real Madrid is the favorite, but their last two matches against Bayern Leverkusen proved otherwise, especially the former, in which they were a goal away from being knocked out.
I think Athletico will get their revenge and advance to the semis.

Juventus vs Monaco -> Monaco advances

Monaco got the best opponent they could hope for, although Juventus is not an easy opponent to face. But i think Monaco has a good chance against an clearly out dated Juventus. They need at least a tie in Roma to have a chance in Monaco, which they can do if their defensive strategy works out. Juventus just needs to keep up in what they are doing and not frustrate themselves (on smashing their heads towards the solid Monaco defense) if they don´t score right away.

PSG vs Barcelona -> Barcelona advances

Another tough match up. PSG has a chance to overcome the challenge Barcelona offers, but they really need to win the first leg in a convincing way to be able to dream about an advancement to the next round. Barcelona will probably go for a defended tie away and then try to crush PSG next week.

Porto vs Bayern München -> Bayern München advances

Porto is a good team, but now they have a behemoth of an opponent against them in Bayern München. Are they too much to handle? Maybe. Only way for Porto to advance is absolutely demolish Bayern in the first leg. Attack hard, often and fast and crack open the Munich defense to pieces by scoring lots of goals.

Bayern can win by routine. Defend good, keep their composure and await for an opportunity and then strike. They would want to take a 0-0 or 1-1 tie and then massacre Porto in the second leg.

Look at Porto go
