Topic: Champions League Quarter Finals.

Dont believe for a second that Atletico will overturn the score against City. Not sure anything they have done this season is pointing to that. There is a misconception about how good Atletico is this season, they are not. They got lucky against Manu, they probably deserved to lose again Manu and Manu is not a a good football team. Going forward they are just horrible, they are not a high scoring team and as soon as they open up a bit City will pick them apart as they are miles better. And, in the very unlikely situation they were to have the best game Atletico has played in years and turn it around they will be beaten by the next one.

We have a pretty good chance to reach the final of course, but would not count Bayern out. They certainly have the quality to go all the way as well. But as do we, certainly.

Would agree with this. I reckon City are in the final, its a matter of us vs Bayern. Madrid could give them a game, especially with Benzema in this form.

Will frank ever manage a football team again

Is he managing one now?

[CanuckYNWA]

Everton are done, Burnley have a way easier run in. It would be one thing to draw to them but losing was worst case scenario. Their moral will be fucked beyond belief more than it was especially since they were winning

I mean they are done and dusted imo

Also would be amazing if Atletico beats City at home and all of Bayern, Chelsea and City go out in the quarters please

He's a fucking idiot that lad, would give Micah Richards a run for being the thickest pundit.

I guess clubs up and down the land will be singing the following ditty forever and a day then?

Édouard Mendy lar
He fucked up on forty yards
And so did young Rudiger
Fucking hell Haha!!

Benzema continues to be the most underrated elite club level striker in Europe, and casually smashes in another hat trick.

It's just a hunch but I have a feeling last year's 2 finalists are going out in the quarters this year. I don't think City get to the final because if Atletico don't topple them at the Wanda next week, Real will batter them in the semis. City just don't play enough competitive matches in the Premier League week-in, week-out. Teams here just don't bother giving it their all against City, and they get far too many favours from Premier League referees.  For all that is being made of Atletico being shite or playing unattractive football, City struggled to score against them, and a 1-0 lead just isn't enough in my view. But even if they get through to the semis Simeone will make them pay a heavy price, and Real will finish them.

He isn't underrated, he was just never in the top bracket of players (Messi, Ronaldo). He is up there with Salah, Mbappe, Lewandoski, and Haaland, though. Mind you, I probably wouldn't choose him ahead of any of the mentioned players whether it be due to age or quality.

Some lad on Everton spaces said Ferguson would have won that game tonight. I nodded along. I really thought he was talking about Alex until I realised it was Duncan he was on about.

Lampard straight on the phone to Dominoes after that

Looks like the Papa Johns sort.

Perfect set of results tonight. Would've preferred another Villareal goal to be honest, but nevertheless, an excellent night

Would still fancy Bayern to go through, especially without away goals but Villarreal stand more than a chance. If they'd won by more than one Bayern would have been in big trouble next week.

Looking at them, defensively they aren't as strong as us, and their midfield always seems strange. Is there anyone they're missing there through injury? I'd also expect Klopp to get the best out of Nagelsmann and his big rivals. It's all irrelevant until it happens but big chance it does. Just hoping we can see our tie out against Benfica.

I’d expect Bayern to go through quite comfortably.

I think they have pretty much a fully fit squad. Lewandowski had a bit of a knock that apparently has affected him the last 2 games. But not much other than that.

They have been almost faultless in the CL till the game last nigh though.

[Bobinhood]

That damn vampires hard to beat in cups for some reason though. It must be his power. If we play Villarreal instead of Bayern i demand a high noon kick off. In the desert  somewhere.

But yeah Bayern can turn over 1-0 most likely.

[jckliew]

If only Coquelin's goal stood!  Oh to dream!

You'd imagine he is ready to get his fangs into Bayern at the Allianz. He must be dreading them putting crosses into the box though. He'll be having many a sleepless night.

[Passmaster Molby]

Underrated by who? Everyone that ever talks about him says how good he is.

The media and many fans never seem to mention him when talking about europes great goal scorers or top players, it’s always the same 6 or 7 names but never him. Even when Ronaldo was smashing goals in at Real he never got mentioned, and yet he has been one of the best strikers in Europe for over a decade now. Just never gets the recognition he deserves from the wider football community.

[cipher]

modric is something else. a great.

Easily one of the best of this generation.  He was so difficult to contain in those games we've played against Madrid in 014/2015, 2017/2018 and 2020/2021.  For me, him and Benzema are the two you have to try and stop.  However, easier said than done as he's a genius at getting away from pressure.  It's pretty remarkable that he can still play that position at this level at 36 years old.

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

He's arguably (or not) the best number 9 in history of La Liga, when you take into consideration the consistency and success.

[Knight]

Every time I’ve watched a Real game in the CL this season the commentator has called him’ “the best number 9 in the world”.  He’s getting the credit he deserves at the minute.
