UCL Round of 16 - First Legs - Feb 18 - 26

Schalke are a bad side, we dominated them in 2011, in their backyard and would have won about 10-0 if it wasn't for Neuer, then our b team beat them 4-1.
By the same logic United are a great side right now because they were in the final in 2011?
 
I... I actually feel pity for Schalke..... What the feck is Real Madrid doing to me :(

Support is class, though. Huge respect for that.
 
Ok schalke a bit shite. But real are terrific aren't they the see you next tuesdays.
 
Chelsea would give Real a game. They're better than this and Mourinho would set them out right.

Would still get beat tho.
 
You can't imagine he'd choose you over Real Madrid.

In a world, when some people on here see a chance of getting Klopp right now in the middle of the season, this question is legit...
 
Ancelotti looking for his 3rd Champions League title as a manager and 5th as a player+manager overall.
 
Illara coming off the bench, where he was sitting with Isco, Jese, Varane and others. Khedira not available.

Feck.
 
Didn't Chelsea beat Barca the year Barca put 10 past Leverkusen over 2 legs? Madrid look impressive but Schalke are crap. Lets see how they do against a top Euro side, as last season they were destroyed by Dortmund.
 
And we didn't win it with a side that was 'the best in Europe' at the time. We wont win it this season.
Bayern are the best side in Europe. Madrid haven't been there for quite a long time now, and have let themselves down against every top opponent in the past decade. Your lot beat Barca in their prime, with fecking di matteo as manager.
 
Schalke have been deplorable. I mean Madrid have been brilliant, but it's the Champions League!

One day it would turn out like this. You can't have a handful of clubs capable of churning out 30m+ for every little gap on their bench and not have serious consequences on the competitiveness of the competition. This may the biggest result, but let's not forget that it will be at the very least 6 out of 8 away wins in the final 16. If Chelsea gets a winner, we have only Manchester United as a group winner not winning the first tie, and this is due to a very exceptional situation at the club right now.

The most boring ever set of second-legs of the Champions League awaits next.
 
The second leg should be a complete Real reserve side, they play the Clasico 5 days later.

Destroyed is a bot strong to be honsest. Over the two ties it wasn't that bad.
