England's last Champions League hope is Man City... in the words of Emile Heskey... don't worry guys we got this...

 

 

...we really don't got this, we're f*cked.

 

[Joseph Cooke]

Obviously not feeling condifent about tonight. Not a lack of believe, just being realistic. But...I suppose anything could happen. I seen matches where one team was given no chance then an early mistake from the favourites leads to a penalty + red card and the whole complexion of the match changes. As long as City make a valiant effort that'll be a result for me.

[Mark]

I'm actually rooting for you guys tonight too.

 

Mostly because the extra games should help Arsenal leapfrog you. Heheh.

[Miro]

Messi humiliating the Manchester City players. Already nutmegged this match Milner and Fernandinho, David Silva also and I don't know if not somebody else. Should have been at least 2-0 with those two bars, but I suppose the goals will fall anyway. At this rate, the 2015 Balloon D'or race should be a piece of cake.

[Doc Rikowski]

3-0!

Didn't expect that!

We're back in the top 8.

Considering that no PL teams made it, it is a great result.

Lost the game, which I was expecting, we didn't play that bad, and Joe Hart proving why he's that damned good.

[Joseph Cooke]

Our players looked confused tonight. Probably cos Barca does this weird thing I've noticed when they get the ball they move it quickly to someone else.

[MyName'sJeff]

That's called Tiki Taka, and Barcelona are pretty much the masters at that style of football. Pep Guardolia was the man who invented this tactic when he was managing them, and ironically, he hates it now.

[Tchuck]

Great match by Joe Hart. 20 odd shots, 11 on target, 10 saves. No English sides through, eh?

Look up the words facetious and sarcasm.

Congrats! Well deserved. We had absolutely no chance, the end of this disaster of a season can't come soon enough.

Loved the choreo though:

"Best league in the world" and ZERO teams make it to the quarter finals of CL or Europa League.

 

Hopefully Wolfsburg continue to kick ass tonight.

I realise that. Which is why I included irony in my statement at the end to add to the flavour

Any predictions for El Clasico?

 

I think Barca is gonna win either 2-1 or 3-2.

 

Considering how much of a dick Ronaldo has been to Bale lately, their chemistry is in question, so I think Neymar and Messi would be the upper pair.

 

I also heard a rumor that Bale would not be in the squad. Which would most likely give Ronaldo some more chemistry, but I'm not familiar with Real's subs.

Thanks. And yes nice choreo although painful to remember for me lol

I guess just a bad year for you guys. I'm sure next will be different.

Juventus have a good chance of winning the CL. Solid defensively and Tevez/Morata is some partnership. They also got a decent draw to Monaco who they should beat over the two legs.

I also think they will eliminate Monaco but I don't see them winning the whole thing. They won't get past Real, Barca or Bayern.

[Doc Rikowski]

Win the whole thing would be quite a miracle.

Reality is that we're still behind Real, Barça and Bayern.

Against any of the other 4 teams it would be an open match.

Football is unpredictable but I'm being realistic here.

If we get in the top 4 it would be already a great result for our season.

And getting that far prepares you for future years in which you could try to win the whole thing.

[Stephan90]

I wished that FC Barcelona had been drawn against Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain against Atletico Madrid. Anyway, not a bad draw for Bayern. And if they make it to the next round and are lucky, they will get the winner from Juventus vs Monaco.

I wouldn't normally predict such a thing, but I do believe in our firepower. We're in form. I go with a 2-1 win. Mainly saying a win because of the amazing form we showed against the Champions of England. Saying only 2-1 because we still missed a lot in the last match. Also, we conceded a lot, can't see us getting away with a clean sheet, not with Real Madrid anyway.

As for the Champions League draw, it's okay. Sure, it's tough because Paris Saint Germain already defeated us once this season, but Ibrahimovic isn't going to play in the first match. If we score a couple at Paris, we'll make it through. Gonna be a tough attacking match though, with David Luiz and Thiago Silva as opponents. Hopefully Messi and Neymar will be able to outspeed them though.

Happy with the Atletico Madrid - Real Madrid match. I pray for Atletico to defeat Real Madrid, as they've already done many times this year. Either way, which ever get knocked out it's good for us. Hopefully though we'll be playing Juventus in the Semi-Final.

Just went out and bought my Barca shirt for the game, going to see it in a bar like a lot of matches so it should be fun.

 

My favorite result for the four teams to proceed in the Champions League would have to be Bayern, Barca, Juventus, and PSG.

 

In reality I think it would be Bayern, Barca, Real Madrid, and PSG.

FC Barcelona and PSG can't proceed at the same time, because they face each other.

How f*cking dumb am I, lol.

 

Juve, Bayern, Barca, and Real.

[Flesh-n-Bone]

Kinda disappointed in the CL draws. Was hoping we wouldn't get Atletico but since it's on, it's time to get back at them for everything they've done this seasons. Shouldn't be as tough as before because they have been slipping a bit recently and dropped many points plus they just barely got past Leverkusen. Barcelona vs PSG again is interesting, I'm not optimistic but if PSG does their magic again and pulls an upset. Bayern and Juve shouldn't have any problems making it through.

 

How funny would it be if by some miracle, the final became Porto vs Monaco again, though.

That pass from Herrera to Mata

Mata should have taken the penalty for his hat-trick.

 

The first half we bossed it, made a few silly passing errors though and I can't believe gerrard got sent off

[Banks.]

Gerrard

 

Excellent win for us. Mata was phenomenal today.

[The Gardener]

Gerrards red card genuinely was the first time I laughed my ass for during a live game for about 3 minutes. Matas goal also one of the best I've seen live.
