Champions League Round of 16 (16th Feb - 17th Mar)

It does look like there was a bit of contact on the final replay, but I wish they'd actually show a proper replay all the way through with the right angle.

Broadcast rushed through them all.
BT have been doing it all night. Infuriating.
 
Messi's pressing is out of this world..
But seriously Barca is playing with 10 men when PSG has possesion.
I would be absolutely livid as a Barca fan
 
PSG need to target Busquets in the build up. He struggles under immediate pressure these days

all in all psg kinda sorta lucky this is 1-1 and 11vs11, but also barcelona are not much to speak of
 
Watching the Barca game... How is Thiago doing for Liverpool? CL against a German club.. its set up for him to shine.

Just admit it... Under "Other Bookmarks" you hide your p*rn sites (Edit: ;) )
 
Barcelona on course to implode in the second half. The signs are there. They are yelling at each other after every phase and the midfield is just porous and lacks dynamism.
 
One way traffic in the Liverpool game so far., They should be up 2
Liverpool had one effort on target when the keeper made a routine save from Salah. Robinson tried to chip the keeper from 60 yards out their next best effort.

RB almost scored early on when a header came off the post. Taking risks with their high line defence and Upamecano is cumbersome on the ball i think that Liverpool side that feed off errors will look to exploit him and the RB defence 2nd half.
 
I must have watched him play nine or ten times now and I have yet to see have a good game.

Incredibly average player.

He overcommits so often. There's talent there though but he needs a lot of work
 
I cannot watch those first halves without feeling depressed about how we blew up in the group stage after the start we had. Just awful really. Ah well Thursday night it is....
 
I really do think it’s wholly unfair to class this game for RBL as a “home” game. Especially with Liverpool’s “away” goals counting as an advantage over two legs.

The stadium isn’t even in Leipzig’s own country. Both ties should have been held at neutral grounds if one couldn’t be at either team’s ground. Shambles from UEFA.

It’s not right to punish Leipzig for their country’s COVID restrictions.

Better yet, this round of games should have been a one game tie at a neutral ground, or drawn home/away by chance like FA Cup matches.

Shite seeing the ad for the Europa League..
 
It must be said that Upamecano is having a particularly bad game so far tonight. He does have concentration lapses in other games as well. He's a beast physically and is usually also quite a good player on the ball. But today he's been absolutely bricking it in many situations.
 
Going on Barcelona record in the Champions league the last 5 years will anyone be surprised if PSG (last seasons finalists) knock them out? Koeman as manager was hardly going to improve them?

Trainwreck of a first half by him, shocking
 
Its weird that our midfield got the best of PSG over 2 legs and see Barca struggle like this.
 
Poch not making the moronic mistake Ole did when he left Fred on against PSG. Gueye goes off as he’s a walking red card.
 
Ander Herrera coming on, I have a real dislike for him now.

Messi will come alive in the second half..
 
Looks like some managers are competent enough to take off a midfielder who will be sent off.
