Psg will be a threat but they will either play Liverpool or Barcelona next
 
As ever I am truly impressed by Real’s passing accuracy. Something, it seems, we just can’t do.
Accurate passing, great first touches, close and long range options always on for every player taking possession, great close control and speed of thought from most players.

It's nice to be reminded of what a good football team should look like every now and again...even if it does make watching us all the more infuriating.
 
The gulf between Real Madrid and Manchester City was quite insane yesterday. Manchester City key players no longer have the legs to keep up with the intensity that was required , Real Madrid were easily able to get out of situations where in the past you'd expect Manchester City to get control of the ball
 
PSG beat Brest 7-0 with 7 different scorers. Any stats junkies out there know whether that is the highest ever score in which no player scored more than once?
Newcastle had 8 different scorers in their 8-0 win over Sheffield United a couple of years back.

I think United and Liverpool have had 8 different scorers in 9-0 wins.
 
Why did they need to do a draw to determine who gets the second leg at home? Absolutely bizarre that whole process. Just reward the team that were the higher seed, otherwise what's the point?

Liverpool finished top of the league and probably have the hardest route out of anyone.
 
If Liverpool get past PSG they likely have Villa in the quarter final, tough run
Followed by Arsenal or one of the Madrid clubs. Could see them going out against PSG, they will have an eye on their title run in and these are extremely testing two leg games.
