Champions League Round of 8

Jesus that was some goal from Diego.

As an aside, John O’Shea in TV3 punditry blamed Courtois for Neymar’s goal. Beyond bizarre.

Can’t understand why Chelsea don’t bring him back.

And what a pass from Iniesta for the equalizer.

Plenty of talk among Spanish football journalists that it’ll be announced before the season ends that he’ll be going back to Atletico again for the 2014/15 campaign.

Incredible.

He would fit right in with John Terry having affairs with girlfriends of Chelsea team mates.

Although he rightly singled out Fellaini for the schweinsteiger goal. Fucking disgusting lack of cop on from any professional footballer. Lazy, scouse-topped fucker.

In that they can’t be stopped? Or that they bang underage hookers? Certainly bears no resemblance to tonight’s football.

That would be outstanding business from Atletico. Note that us proper fans don’t buy into this Atleti bullshit. Sid Lowe can fuck right off. Woof.

I don’t see how Lewandowski is going to fit into the current Bayern playing style.

That was very strange indeed. It didn’t do much to change my opinion of him as a clueless footballer and first class idiot.

Strange bravado from Manchester United fans looking for all sorts of praise for a limited performance against a misfiring Bayern team that completely dominated the game.

[QUOTE=“farmerinthecity, post: 925136, member: 24”]Bayern defence and midfield for the second leg?

Neuer,
Rafinha, Dante, Boateng, Alaba,
Lahm, Kroos[/QUOTE]
Yeah - I imagine that will be it. Alaba will probably be their next choice central midfielder (which would require Contento to play).

On the plus side for them it means 4 of Ribery, Robben, Gotze, Muller, Mandzukic will play.

i have placed a three figure sum on Royal Madrid to win this thing in May.

lads is the Bracelona - Atleti game worth watching back?
I have it recorded and its an option if they are asleep this evening as i wont get to see the chelsea game id say.
Sid Lowe et al were woofing their way thru twitter on it.
Was not really impressed with Munich last night at all, lot of holding the ball but little end product, the Bundesliga is really getting found out now at the business end.
all jokes aside, United are in with a real chance i think. the Munich center halves last night were atrocious and scared of Welbeck when he ran at them…that’s the plan i think, defend like fuck and then long punts to Welbeck to chase down… it may well be enough

Guardiola’s record away from home in knockout Champions League games wouldn’t be too hectic either. His home record would be excellent though

Alaba seems to be very limited, especially out wide,

Indeed- he’ll just miss 2/3 of the chances they are not creating

Not looking for any praise. Just disagree with your assessment of last night’s game. Like most people, I think Bayern will probably win handily enough in Munich.

I thought Barca game was good. I was watching both on the multi play channel so missed a few bits and pieces.

Atletico - Barca game was excellent. The German ref wasn’t buying into the diving so there wasn’t as much as normal until the end when Barca were getting desperate.
