The usual Haaland goal

Serie A's record in Europe is absolutely appalling this season.

Jesus-  the strength of the lad! great goal

1-1 Chiesa

VAR

Stands

bizarre goings on - Haaland goal wiped and pen for different attack - God I hate VAR and I want Dort to win ffs

VAR letting us know its not gone anywhere

ffs pen saved - utterly robbed - because the defender was weaker than Haaland he got the VAR decision in his favour

haha off the line

Long 40 minutes coming up for Porto

Justice done finally - but oh how I hate VAR

Red Porto

Haaland looks a decent player but he's definitely a bit of a cant.

Censored?

under 4.5 goals at 1.26 HOUSE BET

2-1 Chiesa again

The Chiesa show.

Juventus

Interesting last 20 now with Dort leading 2-1

Desmond.

Oh the drama

2-2 but doesn't matter, too late.

Morata must be one of the worst big money signings in history

£75M and has never been better than Charlie Austin.

Pepe went for 72m , albeit I guess Morata moved about more clubs for a high price.

Porto wasters..

They've done well to almost get it to penalties with 10 men?

2-2 lol

Bye Juve mugs.

Scezney not too clever there

3-2 wtf

Porto still through on away goals ?

Yep

No way a pen

Blow time ffs

WHY ARE SOME POSTS NOT SHOWING?

Looked peno ish..

Forum playing up tonight sofa

Delete cookies ..

Oh yeah could try that

what a save
Porto
Play on players.

Pirlo sacked in the morning

Brilliant stuff

Bye bye Ronaldo

Juventus overrated

Porto deserved it for hanging in there with 10 men

Although I would have taken Juventus over City and Pool this season

They all the wall jumped .. Dohhhh...

If only u.k. Football was so entertaining

I'm happy Porto got through, Portuguese football underrated a bit, decent quality at the moment

Juventus dumped out last 3 seasons by Ajax, Lyon, and Porto. 3 clubs their owner doesn't deem glamorous enough for the European Super League. (Yes I stole this from Twitter).

All 3 are well known clubs

Porto former winners of this and the Uefa Cup

Ajax one of the biggest names out there ffs

Lyon big enough as well

Serie A could easily end up with no representative in the last 8 of either European competition, doesn't say a lot for them.

I love Serie A but they've been utter sh*te this season

Atalanta were unlucky against Real Madrid

and Milan are going to beat Man Utd!

Roma will beat Shakhtar as well

and Atalanta are still in with a chance

could be three teams in the last 8!

There could be

But at the moment they've been poor

Over 1k red Barca outright.Surely PSG can't choke this

Lol Messi misses pen

What on earth is Michael Owen talking about post-match saying the German league is on a real low point atm, same with Spain, and it seems to be the Italian league rising closest to the English league.

Would this be the Italian league where it's supposed best team went out to 10 man Porto last night and it's runaway leaders couldn't get out of the group?

Was also saying he didn't think Bayern were the best in Europe last season, don't know what he's watching, and yer Leipzig were sh*te over 2 legs here, but are we meant to be goldfish and forget they made the semi's last season and qualified out of what was meant to be the group of death ahead of the side 2nd in the Prem.

If David Moyes was Barca manager I reckon they would have qualified.  He has the happy knack of turning widemen into deadly strikers.  Only watched 1st half and Dembele had a shocker.  Koeman does not have Moyes's ...err alchemistic qualities.  If Moyes can do it with Antonio and Arnie pretty sure he could do it with potentially world class Ousmane Dembele

Be careful putting that idea out there.  Barcelona might poach him from West Ham in the summer.

Stranger things have happened.  Apparently Barca are interested in Arteta.  Moyes is a far better manager

Arteta's only credentials are that he sat beside Pep for a few years. I agree that Moyes is a far more proven manager but there's zero chance that Barca will poach him.

Man City carving through Gladbach here, 2-0 after 20 minutes

1-0 Real Madrid

1-0 RM

Madrid are jammy

2-0 Ramos pen

2.9 RM layers

"Would this be the Italian league where it's supposed best team went out to 10 man Porto last night"

inter are much better than juve and they'll be a strong contender in next year's CL

serie a is the second best league in europe

owne is right, apart from bayern the bundeslis is shoite

milan would have beaten man utd last week if zlatan had been fit

should have beaten them anyway: ridiculous handball call disallowed goal

Serie A will always be a top league, a few years in the doldrums is good in my opinion, freshens things up

Hopefully Spain will be having there doldrums now

AC Milan/Inter/Juventus/Lazio/Roma will always be well known around the world, historically they are always there in any conversation

Sampdoria and Fiorentina always had their shirts hung up in Turkish bars as well, back in the early 2000s when I went

Man City and Chelsea? Will never be that in my opinion

Artificial success

quiet night so far

1-0 Bayern Munchen, Robert LewandGOLski slots home the penalty

Hopefully AM don't get through, setting up for 0-0s is pathetic

Fairly shít round of ties

One-offs like last year would have been better

This round wasn't one offs last year either.

Who can stop Bayern?

no one can! well maybe Chelsea

2-1 Bayern Munchen

once there's no fans it they should just do one-leggers but it's not about what's better for the fan

Good to see AM gone, at least Chelski might have a go

Couldn't give two flying fooks who wins the Spanish league, all of them are boring

The QF draw screwed up my outright bets

All I wanted was for my 2 best greens (Bayern & PSG) to be kept apart, and for my biggest red (Chelsea) to play someone other than Porto.

Had to downsize my greens now and make sure to limit reds.

281.34	Manchester City
373.53	Bayern Munich
414.42	Paris St Germain
397.28	Liverpool
558.77	Chelsea
193.27	Real Madrid
108.77	Borrussia Dortmund
566.77	Porto

your greens look good tobs  only threat to one of them winning is city and we know what their record is.

barring strange results your book looks good

prob a bayern v liverpool final

Hopefully Dragon,

my greens were much bigger before the draw (and my City red was much bigger too). I would have been fine with any of them playing City, but the draw left it likely I would have had 2 teams £600 red in the semis and perhaps only one green.

indeed tobs the draw is something hard to factor into your betting analysis. i still think you have the best team - bayern on your side. i backed them antepost before the tournament so apart from liverpool im hoping they win

Chelsea going under the radar. everyone was looking at Munchen, PSG and Man City. Lewandowski got injured and thus PSG just about got the job done. Man City or PSG, not sure which will go through. I think Chelsea will beat Real Madrid. I think the most likely final is PSG v Chelsea.

what do others think?

PSG v Real for me. Both close ties but I think playing away second leg will suit them both.

After the disastrous QF draw and my preferred team losing virtually every H2H all through this I am left with these figures when settled bets factored in

199.13	Manchester City
301.78	Paris St Germain
199.72	Real Madrid
249.46	Chelsea

Still, a £250 loss is a big improvement on -£700 last season

It's important you cover Man City, Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munchen tobes

only 1 of the teams I thought were dangerous back in February still in it. I couldn't have predicted Lewandowski's injury though. I think we'd be seeing a Bayern v City semi final if he hadn't got hurt, with the winner going on to lift the trophy. I'm really struggling to pick the winner out of PSG and City. I think they'll face Chelsea in the final
