Didn't they get a bunch of questionable penalty decisions their way? Anyways, Sevilla are built for Europa League.
Champions League Round of 16 (14th Feb - 15th Mar)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Barcelona definitely! Have you been watching Real the past few months? Ramos is their greatest attacking threat.
I thought you were referring to the quality of the match
Leicester played well like they did throughout last season. Seville were tired and lost of ideas.
Ah gotcha. Agreed, Seville were pretty poor.
What a boring tie. We basically got a free ride with Porto having a player sent off in the first half in both legs.
I said he was Stoke Nzonzi... Someone else corrected me by saying he was more like Blackburn Nzonzi
Thing is, we have been fortunate enough to have won the CL before. Leicester, realistically will probably never have this chance again in our lifetimes. Think they'd definitely opt to win the CL.
Just need to collapse and finish behind Real Sociedad as well
Indeed. This surely takes Sampaoli out of the candidates for the barca job?
You have been grinding out results since the start of the season. While it shows you have a great winning mentality, it also shows something is wrong with your team. Apart from Eibar away, when was the last time you hammered an opponent?
Actually no. Rarely watch a Barcelona or Real Madrid match. Only El Clasico (sometimes) or if one of them play in a CL-final.
Well it's my opinion, they'll get smashed. And Sevilla really should have killed this off in the first leg.
No mugs at QF level but different beasts.
Again, why do people insist on making concrete predictions about football? It is an absolute fool's game.
What an achievement.
What an achievement.
At least the La Liga Fan Boys have to come up with some new "facts" of their supposed superiority other then international scores
It is a silly question. Obviously you take the CL. You can get promoted back to the premier league easier than winning a CL. CL's are incredibly difficult to win.
I guess Leicester players started using dope again . The last time they run so much was in may.
. The last time they run so much was in may.Sevilla were rested and came into the game ahead. You've not factored anything into why they lost, or why Leicester present a genuine threat to certain teams remaining in the draw. There's also an X-factor in if the 2nd leg is at their home ground, which was absolutely rocking tonight and played its hand in how unsettled Sevilla were out there.
Very naughty SantiI guess Leicester players started using dope again
Apart from joke, they are back at their usual business. Ranieri must be fuming.Very naughty Santi
All these La liga teen boys Should get a good hard reality check.
. Overblown false propogandaBuffon does not want Leicester, from post match interview.
Shakespeare has done in 2 weeks what wenger hasn't done in 7 years.....
Pretty funny
Pretty funny
Kante was back in the stadium. Open your third eye.I guess Leicester players started using dope again
I would compare them to us or Chelsea in the second part of the 2013 and 2015 seasons respectively. Clearly strong but just doing enough to get by with each game. Most definitely not a a frightening team. Add to that Ronaldo is nowhere near the world beater he once as and Bale's injury problems and you get the picture.
I simply think the quality of those teams will be too much for Leicester and any supposed x-factor from their home crowd will be irrelevant. I think there have been concerns about Sevilla going off the boil recently as Sampaoli does like to work them hard.
Leicester have beaten Pep Guardiola's Man City 4-2 this season. You never know what will you get with leicester.
Wow, that bad? Wonder how many "galacticos" they'll buy to "fix the problem"?
What's happened to Ronaldo - is he declining due to age? Or does he have some sort of injury and not being able to play fully fit?
This could be like the fairy tale of the Prem last season - Leicester City: CL winners. Never say never.
Rio wanting City to go through . He really is an awful pundit.
. He really is an awful pundit.You said they 'don't have a chance' when clearly, the way they play is custom-made to unsettle a good amount of the sides remaining in the competition. Quality is only one component; the amount of running they do and the way they harass and the way they break; the pace of Vardy on the counter can cause a lot of problems for the sides who go all-in on attack. Pragmatic sides can nullify a lot of what Leicester do and put the onus on Leicester to try and play in a 50-50 game, at which point their quality, or lack of, can be properly exposed.
What's the furtherest a debuting team in the CL has gone?
Yeah but they were so naive that day. Of course there's a chance but over 2 legs I just don't see it.
Bet you're shaking in your boots at the thought of getting the mighty Leicester
Rio wanting City to go through
Pretty sure all pundits on British broadcasters are told to back British teams.
Atletico and Sevilla are capable of beating any team in the premier league on their day.
Winners. Real won the European Cup in 55/56.
