"Champions League 1/4 finals: the real Elite Eight (ok, more like Seven)"


  

          

Many are expecting a thrashing for United pretty much from the opening minute. It might not get that ugly but doom is definitely on the agenda. If things get out of hand the other matchup seems infinitely more palatable, what with Barcelona and Atletico giving us a preview of their potential title-deciding clash on the last day of the Liga season.
Tomorrow's lineup contains more uncertainty, although Borussia are not coming into Bernabeu in the best of forms. PSG will want to show last year's good showing against Barca at the same stage of the competition wasn't a fluke. This could go a long way toward cementing L. Blanc's reputation, as he'll be taking on one of the master tacticians/talkers of the game.

today (return leg 04/09)
Barcelona - Atletico
Man United - Bayern

tomorrow (return 04/08)
PSG - Chelsea
Real Madrid - Borussia

------------------------------
For the record, my teams:
MLB: Mets / Soccer: PSG
NCAA BB: Arizona / NCAA FB: Michigan
NBA: Spurs / NFL: Jets

Dear Fox,
Apr 01st 2014

Easy solution
Apr 01st 2014

      if you're on comcast, you can at least stream fox deportes
Apr 01st 2014
5
      you damn right you do
Apr 02nd 2014

Gus Johnson...
Apr 01st 2014

I guess they don't teach finishing where Welbeck is from.
Apr 01st 2014
6
he must've thought he was RVP for a second
Apr 01st 2014
7
well, this certainly isn't the match i was expecting.
Apr 01st 2014
8
great game, somewhat disappointing result
Apr 01st 2014
9
That's their style. Give Simeone his due.
Apr 01st 2014
10
i don't respect that plan. i find that plan ugly
Apr 01st 2014
11
its a good plan.
Apr 01st 2014
13
Results are results, Atletico executed what they set out to do
Apr 01st 2014
14
that was the best we've played in awhile.
Apr 01st 2014
12
How bad will the transfer ban hurt Barca?
Apr 02nd 2014
15
jesus christ.
Apr 02nd 2014
16
With Valdes and Puyol leaving? Heavily.
Apr 02nd 2014
17
Yeah, get the sense something political is at work.
Apr 02nd 2014
18
yeah, this is some piling on political bullshit
Apr 02nd 2014
19
      I imagine it's going to go happen like Roma's ban
Apr 02nd 2014
20
awww gyeah. i love this news.
Apr 02nd 2014
21
Ouch. It is unfair that Barcelona is being singled out though
Apr 02nd 2014
23
I'm pretty sure they'll be able to make signings this summer
Apr 02nd 2014
25
Barca's case involves 10 players though
Apr 02nd 2014
39
      Yeah, which is why I don't think the ban will be overturned
Apr 02nd 2014
84
i am HIGHLY amused.
Apr 02nd 2014
86
Spanish papers are saying Real and Atleti might be facing the same
Apr 02nd 2014
89
I'll be honest, I'm kinda scared to death of Jallet v Hazard
Apr 02nd 2014
22
To be fair, Hazard 1v1 vs anyone is scary
Apr 02nd 2014
24
w/Jallet, he's going to be 1v1.5 even if Blaise shadows him
Apr 02nd 2014
27
BTW
Apr 02nd 2014
83
The CL simultaneous games scheduling is so irritating
Apr 02nd 2014
26
I take back anything bad I ever said about Lavezzi
Apr 02nd 2014
28
he's been significantly more efficient since Blanc called him out
Apr 02nd 2014
30
thank you based John Terry.
Apr 02nd 2014
29
I'm gonna need Verratti to stop acting a fool
Apr 02nd 2014
31
he straight ass, right now. wow.
Apr 02nd 2014
33
Cavani is so tough defensively, it's amazing
Apr 02nd 2014
32
horrible turnover by Ibra, horrible foul by Thiago Silva
Apr 02nd 2014
34
Chelsea is taking Paris out of their game
Apr 02nd 2014
35
he's an absolute ghost right now, ugh
Apr 02nd 2014
37
The PSG midfield (Matuidi and Verrati) need to stay composed
Apr 02nd 2014
38
Matuidi has been fine, Verratti is fucking up for the both of them
Apr 02nd 2014
41
      Yeh I know Ibra tracks but he also pinches forward up the middle
Apr 02nd 2014
44
           Lavezzi should have been on target on that header
Apr 02nd 2014
45
What is up with Ibra's touch today?
Apr 02nd 2014
46
      he's been garbage. that shot he just took was meek as shit, too.
Apr 02nd 2014
50
What a terrible, terrible decision and foul by Silva
Apr 02nd 2014
40
mind blowing. I'm still shaking my head.
Apr 02nd 2014
43
The gall of Cavani to continue and cry about that penalty..c'mon lol
Apr 02nd 2014
42
YASSSS.
Apr 02nd 2014
47
Lavezzi's delivery has been on point all game
Apr 02nd 2014
49
      that and Luiz is a big doofus
Apr 02nd 2014
51
           I've always felt Luiz was a big doofus.
Apr 02nd 2014
85
What a poor series of events for Luiz
Apr 02nd 2014
48
OK can we sub Cabaye in now?
Apr 02nd 2014
52
I don't know what the fuck is taking so long
Apr 02nd 2014
53
Ugh, looks like a pulled hamstring for Ibra
Apr 02nd 2014
54
Paris back to being way too passive again
Apr 02nd 2014
55
smh at his touch when Lucas passed him the ball after that long run
Apr 02nd 2014
56
In Cavani's defense, he's been pretty shitty since returning from inj
Apr 02nd 2014
57
      it's that divorce fucking w/his head
Apr 02nd 2014
59
           Likely, not sure what he expected though lol
Apr 02nd 2014
63
what's the opposite of a golden god?
Apr 02nd 2014
58
Fernando Torres n/m
Apr 02nd 2014
61
gotdammit, I thought he was about to make up for all this sucking
Apr 02nd 2014
62
BLAISE WITH THE CRUCIAL SAVE ON THAT 4 ON 3
Apr 02nd 2014
60
why would you sub out Lavezzi?
Apr 02nd 2014
64
OK, I'M CLEARLY NOT WORTHY.
Apr 02nd 2014
66
Cavani has exhibited some serious bitchmade qualities today
Apr 02nd 2014
65
Pastore...HOLY SHIT
Apr 02nd 2014
67
FLACO. FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Apr 02nd 2014
68
I been saying it all along! (not really)
Apr 02nd 2014
69
Nor did Cech
Apr 02nd 2014
73
yeah. truth is, I kinda had given up myself too.
Apr 02nd 2014
74
Abundance of riches to have a talent like Pastore rotting on the bench
Apr 02nd 2014
70
nah he played himself onto the bench
Apr 02nd 2014
72
      O no doubt about that
Apr 02nd 2014
75
           that's true, and I actually think the Paris fans have been unfair to him...
Apr 02nd 2014
78
                RE: that's true, and I actually think the Paris fans have been unfair to...
Apr 02nd 2014
81
                     this
Apr 02nd 2014
82
That may as well have been an own goal
Apr 02nd 2014
71
FUCK OUTTA HERE.
Apr 02nd 2014
76
C'mon, be humble your 3 goals were the result of 3 defensive blunders
Apr 02nd 2014
79
      oh, PSG played like shit no doubt
Apr 02nd 2014
80
      And? A lot of goals come from defensive mistakes
Apr 02nd 2014
90
Lol. Willian sure had a great look at it as he stood by, just watching
Apr 02nd 2014
77
not impressed.
Apr 02nd 2014
88
So... no one watched RealMad vs. BVB?
Apr 02nd 2014
87
Just finished it. Madrid capitalized on their chances, BvB didn't
Apr 02nd 2014
91
      Oh that right. I forgot he was out
Apr 02nd 2014
92
Ibra out 4 weeks with that hammy strain
Apr 03rd 2014
93
time for Cavani to nut up
Apr 03rd 2014
94
ugh
Apr 08th 2014
95
I'll say it again here
Apr 08th 2014
96
      astounding, was that Motta who missed the assignment?
Apr 08th 2014
97
           couldn't tell either, waiting for half time to see
Apr 08th 2014
99
           looks like Lucas should've had him (which is weird in itself)
Apr 08th 2014
102
man we are looking extra sloppy Joe's right now
Apr 08th 2014
98
ugly, ugly half from Paris standpoint
Apr 08th 2014
100
whoa, Dortmund really going for it
Apr 08th 2014
101
it's almost like Lavezzi is daring the ref to give him a yellow card
Apr 08th 2014
103
Paris getting manhandled
Apr 08th 2014
104
Fack, I need split-screen right now
Apr 08th 2014

106
Oh my lord...RM is so fortunate. Wide open net, off the post
Apr 08th 2014
107
Dortmund is working them
Apr 08th 2014
109
RM was bound for some CL luck
Apr 08th 2014
126
Christophe Jallet is the elephant graveyard of counter-attacks
Apr 08th 2014
108
RM is under siege...two more great chances for BvB
Apr 08th 2014
110
fuck outta here Cavani
Apr 08th 2014
111
Great first touch off his body but needed one more
Apr 08th 2014
112
what the fuck?
Apr 08th 2014
113
of course
Apr 08th 2014
114
lolpsglol
Apr 08th 2014
115
for real. pathetic display, totally deserved ending.
Apr 08th 2014
117
      as the kids say, I can't even
Apr 08th 2014
120
Wow
Apr 08th 2014
116
glad i caught the second half of both
Apr 08th 2014
119
Wenger to PSG, Klopp to Arsenal
Apr 08th 2014
118
if they're not stupid, QSI will go after Mou
Apr 08th 2014
122
I don't want to overreact, but this is the second time
Apr 08th 2014
121
he should be blamed, no doubt
Apr 08th 2014
123
wow. great trolling from some Chelsea fan:
Apr 08th 2014
124
LMAOOO.... Chelsea might raise the cup
Apr 08th 2014
125
You know that against Jose, Pep has 8w 3l and 5d... right?
Apr 08th 2014
127

Apr 08th 2014
128
WTF PSG
Apr 09th 2014
129
yeah, that was bad
Apr 09th 2014
130
      Even if that was his game plan, the team selection was strange
Apr 09th 2014
131
           the Maxwell one really confounded me
Apr 09th 2014
133
lmao Judah Friedlander has some decent skills
Apr 09th 2014
132
Cotdamn, this Barca back 4 + Busquets is swiss
Apr 09th 2014
134
HHAHAAHAHHAHAAHA..... GOTTA KILL THEM OFF THOUGH
Apr 09th 2014
135
well that didn't last long
Apr 09th 2014
136
Gorgeous strike by Evra but it may have woken Bayern up
Apr 09th 2014
137
Welbeck continuing to terrorize the Bayern cb's but Rooney isn't right
Apr 09th 2014
138
Bayern's finally awake
Apr 09th 2014
139
UEFALONA STRIKES!!!
Apr 09th 2014
140
I'm a fan of conservative reffing but that's a red imo for Evra
Apr 09th 2014
141
definitely
Apr 09th 2014
147
      Calling Wynalda terrible is putting it lightly imo lol
Apr 10th 2014
152
it's crazy how Robben still gets it off with the left foot
Apr 09th 2014
142
he used it well today
Apr 09th 2014
146
Atleti has some serious grit and discipline
Apr 09th 2014
143
We just got beat. Badly.
Apr 09th 2014
144
This was the only pleasing point of the game
Apr 09th 2014
145
wow
Apr 10th 2014
148
re-up
Apr 10th 2014
149
yep. thoroughly beaten
Apr 10th 2014
150
      My assumption about the wider tactics is:
Apr 10th 2014
153
Crazy enough that it almost worked. Happy with United's exit.
Apr 10th 2014
