Quite amazing that the second legs will be basically pointless this time as everything has been decided in the first games.
Champions League Quarter Finals (3rd - 11th April)

Agreed with this. Anyone who can stop City is a result. Liverpool won't win the competition, City might have... but not any more
Very good game by Liverpool. Hope this means City out of CL. One of Real, Barca or Bayern will knock scousers out of CL. Still reaching semis is a very good result for them and Klopp deserves plenty of praise for that. Here's to Utds win against City on Saturday.
Silva was utter garbage for me.
More than likely Liverpool/Madrid/Barca/Bayern left standing
Has there ever been a more historic bunch of clubs in the semis. 27 cups between them.

Man City didn't have a single shot on goal. They got what their performance deserved.
Only way that could be bettered is if Milan suddenly got good again.
The power of Anfield again. Opposition teams and fans dont believe in it, but on a European night, under the lights, there’s nowhere better. It’s not a myth, it’s an actual thing. How big a thing it is, is open to debate in some quarters, but it’s definately a thing.
I want Ronaldo to score a hat trick against the scousers at anfield.
Although it always hurts to see the Scouse win like that (I watched it with 2 of the beasts tonight), I can’t see them winning it so, taking into account the free pints I received from my apparently humanoid, Liverpool supporting friends (as they were somewhat happy), it wasn’t the worst evening I’ve experienced.
Can’t remember another set of QFs where I think every tie is done (obviously anything can happen, but I can’t see it).

We haven't got through yet.
What a night though and City fecking shat it . The whole of L4 was out tonight.
Beetlejuice returns
Soooo... us being 2:0 up and than sitting back in the second half means we're a shithouse parking a bus, but them being 3 up and doing exactly the same in the second half is a tactical masterclass by the manager?
How Liverpoolish.

I joked about City scoring 5 at the emptyhad but I think you lot have done enough., Congrats!
I thought you were working for Trump and too busy for football la?
Liverpool were brilliant tonight and the stadium was rocking.
I have to admit being quite jealous of their style of play at the moment. If they can avoid real and Barcelona in the semi they could be in with a real chance now.

Great result tonight, only mildly disappointing thing was Henderson's yellow which was unnecessary. Tie not over yet though, hopefully get an early goal at the Etihad to calm the nerves and we should be all good. Tell you what though, I was watching Messi tonight against Roma in the post match highlights and I certainly aren't looking forward to facing him if we do manage to get through and get Barcelona.
Trump knows to stay away from our end of the Turnpike. Historical Semis
I can't stop laughing. I fully expect Liverpool to get undone so loving the City humble pie.
The slippy giants woke up.
Hopefully only to slip again after They progress.

Nope. The first half in Manchester is important but what I will say right now is no team or city get's it right like we do on a big European night. We've just proved it again.
Credit to Klop for the way he set his team.
This is the style that I would like JM to do. Trust his player and play them to their strength. And also not playing the Coward tactic.
Cause I bet if we played city at home lastnight, JM will set his team to defend first and bench Pogba for Fellaini

The other team is literally funded by a royal family with a history of rights abuses.
And the other is supported by dirty tracksuit wearing, permed, theiving gypos who did nothing but flaunt their trophy count before united overtook them. It’s liverpool ffs!
The whole city was rocking. It's in our Irish genes as we have feck all else to do.
The cream of Europe is back! Could it be this year is their year?
What a load of shit
Is Liverpool and Klopp. Brilliance?

So how does Klopp do so well against City? Its surely cant be just the gegenpress?
I love how most posters here were claiming City to steamroll Pool.
I called it from the draw, Pool were going to beat City. Liverpool was the worst possible draw for City, besides Seville.

Why would Sevilla have been worse?
So pretty much every tie decided after 1 leg. Hopefully Real v Liverpool & Bayern v Barca for the SF
Ronaldo to annihalate Liverpool.

Maybe it is because I am not a fan of Pep, but I found it a bit odd that Liverpool FC in its official statement was apologizing to Pep in person. It was not like people attacked and abused because Pep was in there.
"We apologise unreservedly to Pep Guardiola, his players, staff and officials caught up in the incident"

If there is a side that can overcome a 3 goal deficit it is City. And if someone can blow a 3 goal lead it is Liverpool. This tie is not over.
Pretty poor result as things go. I wouldn't have been surprised to lose, but I'd be lying if I said I expected us to play quite so badly, I was hoping we'd at least get a goal to take into the home tie. As it is we'll have a hard time progressing from here but well have to wait and see.
Pretty much confirms what we already knew though, Liverpools style is a really bad match for our own. Luckily I don't think it's necessarily something the rest of the league can teach themselves (or will teach themselves) for one game of the season. It does bring back memories of that period where everyone loved Dortmund's style of play though and it was the best thing since sliced bread.

Liverpool brought their A game today. Kudos to them. Hyperkinetic.
So funny watching Liverpool do well. Haha.
Much like the respective leagues this season. Boring.
Citeh 
And people slated Jose for playing defensive football at Anfield.

Thats jumping the gun a bit. It's the quarter finals, and with the quality of Juve and City, you can't write them off just yet. The other two games were as good as decided when the draw was made.
