Barcelona, you are in major trouble. Actually, I think that you are going to lose, unless Diego Costa is injured.

The Bayern game was shocking....Bayern enjoyed 74% of the possession but got only one goal?

 

[Pogba4Now]

Bayern were slightly better than United at creating chances/goalscoring opportunities.

Atletico: Time for you to say good bye to the Champions League - Barcelona will tear you to shreds.

Buttner over Evra should be a no brainer for the second leg. Was brilliant yesterday.

 

[Filipower]

Sorry Bayern, I picked Neuer for my fantasy team, of coursed I jinxed him.

 

[Arnau]

United at Old trafford this season: 4W 1D, 3 clean sheets. Moyes is a Champions League tactical genius.

 

[Back Door Skip]

He's gonna Di Matteo this CL campaign.

 

[Mandieta6]

Called it.

 

[yoyo913]

Eh, oh well.

So much shit talk, such mediocre result.

 

[Mandieta6]

Not a good start. We're playing with Schurrle up top and are 1-0 down 3 minutes in.

 

[MaestroZidane]

up 1-0

and second later, PSG scores against Chelsea.

 

[Mandieta6]

Penalty! Come on Eden!

 

[MaestroZidane]

2-0

 

[Mandieta6]

So calm, good pen. This changes things, 1-1 is good for us and PSG will have to come to us now. Now we need to shore up the defense and make sure we hang on for the next 10 minutes and spring the counters effectively. I do not like any match situation in which we have to chase the game and the last 20 minutes proved that. No creativity from deep, everyone playing through the middle, no one stretching play.

 

[Mandieta6]

Would've been too good if Dortmund had managed, but their squad has just been ravaged and the Lewy suspension just makes it worse. Shame. Still some hope but I doubt it.

 

[Mandieta6]

Pay attention to your defernsive duties, Hazard, for fuck's sake.

 

[MaestroZidane]

So far we are in control of this game with no signs of slowing down. Would like to see another goal just to feel more secure.

 

[Mus]

Dortmund should have a pen

 

[Mandieta6]

We're doing fine, Ibra other than a moment here and there, has been quiet and Cavani has not had any chances either. Luiz has done well handling Ibra, actually, who keeps drifting to midfield. I wouldn't get too cocky, though, they've already shown the ability to score out of nothing. Ramires has been carded so he'll be a big loss for the return leg what with Matic being cup-tied.

 

[MaestroZidane]

Dortmund should have a pen

You referring to the shoulder to shoulder with Pepe, in the box? if so, it would have been a weak penalty if given.
