2016-17 Champions League

I watched the whole game until min 80 when i thought everything was lost, i mean they had to score 3. While i agree this game was dominated by Barcelona beginning to end, it just seems odd that they get a free penalty and 5 mins of added time out of nowhere.

Either way i don't know how bad you have to be to blow a 5 goal lead.

 

No argument here whatsoever that if there's a 50/50 call, Barcelona and Real Madrid and probably Bayern too are pretty much always gonna get it.

I couldn't believe my eyes when the Facebook post came up saying they scored. I saw 5-5 and thought "Wow Barca tied aggregate but PSG advanced on away goals" Then my eyes went further down and I saw 6 and I couldn't believe it.

 

Yeah...

he has to go out!!!!

Yeah, it was unreal comeback! but the second penalty wasn't...

 

A PSG fan killed a Barca fan over the game

RIP Sevilla was not expecting that

 

Thoroughly deserved, was a pleasure to watch

 

Monaco with the comeback on City. Leicester only premier league side left lol

 

So happy...

 

Oh God...

As for City well done Monaco! Lol English teams always doing a shitty job in the Champions League.

 

congrats to Leicester for making it to the round of quarter-finals; It is already more impressive than last season's title bid, but sadly I cannot see their story reaching the semi's

 

QF Draw:
Atletico vs Leicester
Monaco vs Dortmund
Bayern vs Real Madrid
Barcelona vs Juventus

 

Good picks, I'm flippng between Bayern/Real Madrid but the rest I feel confident on (same picks as you).

 

Yeah that one is going to be down to the wire but RM will inevitably win.

 

In the 1st leg you were right. Ironically it was the Spanish nationals for Bayern against the Spanish club who were costly. Thiago was rubbish and Javi Martinez was just stupid going in on a yellow.

As for the Dortmund v Monaco game, I would not be surprised if UEFA ignored any attempt to postpone the game considering the circumstances to avoid loss of money.

 

UEFADRID showing up in today's match after UEFALONA showed up vs PSG. Wonder if UEFALONA will return tomorrow vs Juventus?

Bayern was straight up robbed today. Vidal card was questionable, Casemiro should have been sent off, looked like both Ronaldo ET goals were offsides. Bad, bad, bad officiating.

Let me also add I couldn't care less about Bayern Munich or Real Madrid. I dislike both of them.

 

I assume you're supporting the whole 'UEFA Mafia' scenario due to the fact UEFA would prefer the clubs which generate more revenue to remain in the competition as long as possible which of course make sense as a conspiracy theory.

I agree the Vidal 2nd yellowthat was actually given was probably not a free the only way you can justify it is by his trailing leg. Casemiro should've got 2 2nd yellows. And yeah both of the Ronaldo ET goals were offside.

Glad Monaco are still in. The like of Real, Bayern and Barca are boring now from a impartial view.

 

I hate to be a conspiracy nut because soccer is probably my favorite sport or at least among them. But it does seem like the Spanish giants get special treatment a lot. You'd think with a club as big as Bayern they'd let them decide it on the pitch.

I will say Bayern did NOT perform to the standards they're capable of in either leg vs Real and would have been lucky to advance. I was not impressed with how Ancelotti handled the lineups. Especially taking Lewy out in the 2nd game. How on earth did he expect them to score? Unless he was playing for the shootout, which is cowardly IMO.

 

Vidal shoulda been sent off 10 minutes before. What can i say about Robben, hes notorious for diving just like ronaldo so it shouldn't have been a penalty. Ramos OG came from an offside from Lewa, ill give you that ronaldo's second goal was offside but the third was debatable, it was the linesman's fault for being slow. Then vidal comes out bitching to the press when it's his fault Bayern lost. Madrid was the better team in both games and certainly deserves the pass.

 

Can't say I disagree with any of this tbh. Bayern especially unimpressed me on their home soil.
