Champions League 18/19

[Maggot]

Better late than never.

Just watched Juve's impressive comeback against Athletico Madrid. Total dominance and a hat trick for Ronaldo. This is why they bought him.

Great performance from Juve, they never allowed Athletico into the game.

Some silly diving about going on tho

Well done Liverpool! 4 English teams in the quarter finals for the 1st time since 2008.

Am I right in thinking they can be drawn together at this stage?

Yep, free for all now, UEFA will have the heated balls ready.

Quarter Final Draw:

Ajax vs Juventus

Liverpool vs FC Porto

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City

Manchester United vs FC Barcelona

Tasty.

 

[BCBlues]

Tottenham have it easy. All they gotta do is beat City, then beat either a rejuvenated Ajax or Ronaldo on fire, then they're in the final

Interesting graphic

Respect to the Porto fans tonight. They went for it the whole game, and carried on after the game, despite being behind for 85 minutes.

 

[The39thStep]

Porto and Ajax are the poorest clubs in this round of the CL.

 

[Maggot]

I don't know what the record is for the shortest time between goals scored in different halves is, but the Juve game must be close. Less than a minute.

 

[Badgers]

Interesting second legs ahead across all the QFs Even Liverpool were given a fair go by Porto and are away for the second leg.

The semi-finals will then be comprised of the winner of Ajax vs Juventus facing off against Tottenham or Man City, and either Liverpool or Porto taking on Man Utd or Barcelona.

Predictions? I am probably going with the bookies here but my SF shout is:

Juventus v City
Liverpool v Barcelona

 

[The39thStep]

Ajax have been outstanding in this game against Juventus . Competed for everything

 

[Badgers]

Utd can turn this around

 

[mx wcfc]

C'mon Ajax!

(I was expecting Barca to win, but Juve and that arrogant prick who plays for them getting knocked out is too good to be true)

 

[The39thStep]

Utd can turn this around

Cheque book beckons , once again.

 

[DexterTCN]

Ajax score!

 

[mx wcfc]

Ajax score!

 

[Balbi]

Amazing VAR of a non-handball there -

 

[DexterTCN]

C'mon Ajax!

Ajax score!

 

[mx wcfc]

They hadn't scored - at least not when you posted that - they'd been 2-1 up for a while. I assumed you were winding me up!

Oh...radio lag or me not paying attention.

I'm going with lag, myself

 

[imposs1904]

Ordinarily I'd want either Liverpool or Spurs to win this year's Champions League but I have to go with Ajax this time round. I don't even like them that much as a club but their team is in the process of being picked apart because of the richer clubs buying their best players, so it has to be this year for them.

 

[moody]

barca awaits either liverpool or porto.

eek!

 

[Maggot]

Gutted about Juve going out, but the best team won.

 

[moody]

mane!

how many first half goals this season?

 

[1927]

this game is boring as fuck, hasn't been a goal for 8 minutes now!

 

[DexterTCN]

Sissoko off. Spurs a little hampered by injuries lately.

 

[moody]

porto need 4 as it stands.

looks like lfc v barca

 

[Favelado]

Come on Spurs. Anything that hurts City is good for LFC.
