Gladbach have really been very disappointing since announcing that their coach will leave to Dortmund.

2 goals against Sevilla.

Just another day in Haaland‘s office.

What a game between Porto and Juventus. Whoever doesn't get Football, you show them this game, everything what makes Football most popular thing in the world on full display, if you were pulling for one of those teams, your hair could have turned grey in these last 30 minutes.

It was a thrilling match of course, but the diving and acting reached new levels in this game :lol:

So glad Borussia and The Titan advanced, totally deserved it.

Not looking to take anything away from Porto. Advancing while down a man is an amazing accomplishment but damn...Juve's team are looking like aging Dinosaurs.

Barca could've been at least level at half time.

Hi. I notice that you are an Anderlecht supporter. What are your thoughts on Leuven this year? I've been following them since KP took over but it would be interesting to hear the thoughts of someone who knows the league inside out.

They're having a great year for a newly promoted team.
They have an ideal manager to play in the Belgian first division.
Sowah, who's loaned out by Liecester has been great in the offensive triangle with Mercier and Henry.

They still have a minor chance to play the title playoffs, but I think they should focus on next season already.
Preventing the second season slump should be priority number one.

RB Leipzig so unfortunate though.

Not really unfortunate. They've regressed from last year.

True, the transfers weren't as good as the last couple of years.
They should be happy they got out of the group stage tbf.
This was a logical end to the campaign.

Think Szoboszlai was a good transfer but he still needs time and is injured at the moment.

But Kluivert, Hwang, Henrichs and Sörloth have been underwhelming so far and already had enough time to show that they cant help Leipzig.

Especially Sörloth. I cringe every time I see this guys body language.

Doesnt surprise though...the minute Rangnick is out of decision making at Leipzig they get worse...

No surprises this week.

Rudiger is some actor.

Not gonna underrate Porto after what they've been doing all year, but CFC absolutely lucked out. Bayern, City and PSG all on the other side of the bracket.

Although I wanted Madrid, PSG or Dortmund for the entertainment factor.

Come on.

Even Leicester beat Porto in the CL. It's the easiest draw imaginable and then a team below you in the Prem for the chance to play in the final.

I will be quite happy if PSG get knocked out in the next round. Another failure of a year for the Frenchies.

What is that supposed to mean?
Yeah, we lost 1-0 in England and won 5-0 at home while you were playing with your backups because you were already qualified.
All of this in 2016

I totally understand why all of the teams wanted Porto, i'm smart enough to understand why.

Still, we are the most sucessful team in Europe outside of the teams where the big money is (England, Italy, Germany, Spain + PSG) in the last 30 years. And that is something

Who will win the Champions League?
