I feel the same TBH, hoping they draw Barça and get torn a new one. Can't deny their talent, but Muller in particular has a very punchable face. And don't get me started on Robben….

The CL continues to get more and more boring each season though, and by the time the Q/Fs come around any surprise teams from the group stage have normally been eliminated and the usual draws crop up. It's another reason why the Premiership has been so good this year as it should mean that at least two of the English slots next season will be teams that are new/inexperienced to the tournament so we'll avoid the usual atmosphere-less snorefest at Stamford Bridge.

Happy to see Bayern advance! A very entertaining game to watch either way.

But you guys all know Barça will be taking the Champions League right? [emoji16]

[501IH]

Anyone but Bayern is okay for me!

It certainly looks that way. At least there's less tiki-taka nowadays.

Great comeback by the England team to beat the World Champions, (Germany), in Berlin tonight. Great game of football.
Kudos to Lother Matthaus, he was as excited as I was that England won. Great sportsman.

RIP Johan Cruyff.

+1 on Cruijff, a genuine legend, one of the best players to have ever graced the turf.

Real Madrid won El Clásico in Barcelona yesterday! Woohooo!

[Dion]

…and then lost to VW Wolfsburg ;D!

[Winchy]

Second leg tonight. Cmon Wolfsburg!

[501IH]

Go Lisbon!

That didn't go so well then.

Glad to see Citeh go through against PSG but doubt they will reach the final, any of the remaining teams will surely be too good for them in the semis.

I really hope Atletico kicks Barca out tonight.

[Winchy]

Agreed. Big ask though; if only they'd kept it at 1-1 rather than having to chase the game tonight.

[Dion]

Very happy to see Atleti advance to the semi-finals. Really dislike Barca for being an unsympathetic team which only plays fair when they're winning but is the first one to play dirty when not. Just as witnessed tonight.

^ You can apply that to many teams.
See Real when they lost 2:0 against Wolfburg (I only say Marcelo…)

[Peter]

Super content seeing Barca get eliminated.

What a game at Anfield!

Indeed. An amazing comeback, I really thought they were gonna get a drubbing after Dortmund's second goal went in so early on. Just a shame the Liverpool, or Arsenal for that matter, weren't able to do my team (Norwich) a favour this past weekend and stop Newcastle or Sunderland from getting any more points (sorry @Megatron1505).

Spurs blew their chances of chasing down Leicester last night too. Having had applied so much pressure, hit the post three times and not made it count you could just tell that WBA were gonna steal one….

Gonna be cheering on Citeh tonight, which doesn't happen often, as I really can't stand Real and their high maintenance footy. Hopefully it'll be a decent ref in charge.
