UEFA Champions League Round of 16 - 4/3/25 - 12/3/25

I need PSG to do something for me tonight. Dembele and Neves the world summons you to defeat evil
 
I'm expecting another dull match here. Really did want the German teams to get one of the Madrid teams to get some different ties.
Yeah, same. Never a fan of teams from the same league clashing, except for the finale. It's an international competition, I want to see teams clash who aren't playing each other multiple times a year anyway!
 
What has happened to Ronald Araujo? I don’t really follow La Liga much, except scores and line ups from time to time. Yet whenever I look at Barca’s line ups, he is hardly ever in the starting XI any more. This is going back several months.

At some point, maybe a year or two ago, he was seen as one of the best defenders in the world, poised to only get better. Strong, fast, good on the ball, could play RB and CB. United were linked with a 70-80m pound bid. He was red hot property. Nowadays he seems to be below Martinez in the pecking order. Did injuries take a toll? Did he just turn out to be not as good as the hype suggested? Or is the manager making a weird decision? Based on their results and play in general, it seems they are good without him, but with his pace I would’ve thought he was ideal for an ultra high line.

Educate me La Liga and Barca fans.
 
It's Bayern in CL

It will be something stupid. It always is

They're like if Spurs were big enough to be occasionally successful in CL

They can still loose with a Florian cracker haha.

PD: Spurs, what a bunch, they even had way less excuses historically to be that Arsenal.
 
Does Klopp really need that Trivago commercial money?
Klopp is selling out to any company willing to throw an advertisement contract his way. His face is everywhere, trying to sell anything from insurances to toothpaste.

Toothpaste I can sort of get behind. He does have at least 17 million teeth.
 
We have as much chance to go through as PSV at this stage. We don't have the weapons to trouble Inter at all.

yes yet given the bad luck you lot have been riding, so far it still is a great campaign.

Today if at least could tie, doing a Helenio Herrera in Italy would have been at least feasible, now there is very very little chance for Inter to fvck it up and they have recover Thuram.

Oh for sure, best campaign of the century bar 1 ;)
 
Literally no hope of Liverpool being beaten tonight or for the next couple of months....

People are underestimating PSG. Dembele and Neves are some of the best players in the world this season, imo. Kvicha, Barcola and Doue are no joke either - and they have Mendes and Hakimi. PSG is a serious team. The concern is they might be a bit of a glass-cannon - but the same applies to Liverpool really, Trent has been suspect for a while - we’ll see, but I think we have a game and I wouldn’t be surprised if PSG slaps them silly.
 
Liverpool must slow down this game, not the best idea to rock and roll with current PSG
 
Another match yet another big miss from Lewandowski. Despite how many goals he's scored, he's been really poor the last few months.
 
Dembele being the biggest flop of all time at Barcelona, leaving on a free then becoming one of the best players in the world is a bit ridiculous! Even seems to have immediately got over his injury problems.
 
This is a very vintage PL performance so far from Liverpool. What the feck is going on?
