champions' league knock out phase

well well well, there have been some very intriguing results and Im looking forward to the matches in two weeks’ time.

Of course, the most entertaining of them all has to be the Ferguson vs Mourinho. Something tells me Inter will sneak this one.

Apart from that, we have Chelsea with new boss Hiddink taking a one-goal lead to Turin.
Surprisingly Barca were trailing Lyon for long periods of the game till a late Henry equalizer. The return leg can go either way, although Barca have home advantage. Liverpool beat Real 1-0 in Madrid and are looking good to go through.

Go Arsenal!

I think Man U will beat Inter. They were playing better in the match this week.

Re: champions' league knock out phase

I see all the home (UK) teams winning their respective ties and qualifying for the quarter finals.

Liverpool's victory over Real Madrid for me was the result of the round so far.

Re: champions' league knock out phase

nessie but jose has got fergie's number, had a winning record aganst him in premies as well.

Yeah Inter were rubbish in the first leg and at home Utd should go through even though I don't want them to.

I don't know why players like Muntari were signed by Inter.

Re: champions' league knock out phase

Liverpool just got a penalty for handball and are now 2-0 ahead, 3-0 on aggregate.

Re: champions' league knock out phase

I wouldn't be surprised if after last night crushing defeat by the hands of Liverpool, Mr Ramos gets the sack.

Re: champions' league knock out phase

10 mins in tonite's tie and Man Utd are 1 up in the tie after 5 mins with a goal from Vidic.

Arsenal are trailing 1 nil after an early goal from Pizarro for Roma.

Re: champions' league knock out phase

a quick double from Henry gives Barcelona a 2-0 lead and a 3-1 aggregate score.

Re: champions' league knock out phase

another quick fire two goals from messi and Eto give Barcelona 4-0 half time lead, now leading 5-1 on aggregate, we can pretty much say this tie is over.

Only team which can stop English club winning the cup is Barcelona.

Inter wasted chances - especially Ibrahimowich who I feel is over-rated.

Re: champions' league knock out phase

What Liverpool did to Real Madrid in the return leg on Tuesday was out of the ordinary. A club of Real Madrid's stature was blown away and totally humbled by a 4-0 drubbing.

Re: champions' league knock out phase

gunners squeeked by on penalties, and some shootout it was.
but the liverpool toyign with Real was too good, and then they did a 4 goal number on united in premier league. Liverpool has all cylinders going and just when it counts it seems

Barcelona or Bayern Munich v Liverpool or Chelsea

Good result for Porto against Man Utd. However anything can happen in the return leg.

Barcelona have virtually secured a semi final spit after their demolition job of B Munich led by the best player in the World Messi.

Also, good away result for Chelsea and they are likely to play Barcelona in the Semi Final. This will be some game.

Re: champions’ league knock out phase

Since am a Man u supporter am only gonna opinion my view on Man u ..

Although man u drew ..i think like firgie said .. he made his boys played two big matches in 3 days and this tired them out .. but they still got away with it …

now heres what i think ..since ther is a record at porto that no british team has beaten porto at home.. now i think man u second leg will be tough cos porto will have to defend the record and man u will be pushing hard with all man power for a victoryy .. so i think it will be a tough one ..but i think man u wil do it .. and come out on top ..

and i wudnt mind a man u v byren munich Final just to repeat some history :hmmm:

Re: champions' league knock out phase

so, Bayern lost very bad, very sad 4-0!

Re: champions' league knock out phase

As good as liverpool have been of late, i don't see them scoring the 3 they need without conceding, in recent weeks Chelsea have been improving of late under Hiddink.

Bye bye liverpool for another season.

As for Man Utd, i see them winning their tie in Porto, much has been said that no english club has won at Porto, well same could be said that Porto have never WON on english soil, so indeed it makes for a fascinating game.

Re: champions' league knock out phase

Chelsea will win!!
