Looking forward to tonight, always a lot more interesting when we're still in it. Would everyone rather face Juventus or Atletico in the quarters if it came down to that?
Champions League Round of 16 (12th Feb - 13th Mar)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Ronaldo's first real test. Let's see if he can do it without Carrick/Scholes and Kroos/Modric carrying him.
Brilliant
Atletico defending a 2 goal lead. Is there anything worse in football?

This City team should win, but exploiting that defense could help Schalke. They need to be very clinical though and will probably not have most of the ball. City defend so well as a team that I doubt Danilo will be exposed too much.
An early goal and some nerves could make the impossible happen. With that said I would probably predict 3-0 to City or something like that.

Which game is everyone watching?
Yep, first of many tests. I wonder, can he put smiles on Juve fans faces? Or is going to be "lucky".
You think he has same typy of jeans like Zidane?
Spinazzola starts for Juve. CL debut for him
Dybala on the bench

PSG - United
Of course, only tighter.

Morata hat trick please.
Yup, Atletico are through.
That has to be the most adventurous Atleti lineup I've ever seen.
Would be great if City go out. They can focus on beating the dippers, easier CL run for us potentially and we can laugh at City again.
Atlético are possibly the best team in Europe at seeing out games with a lead. They just never panic. They struggle when they need to win and dominate their opposition but once they are ahead they are extremely comfortable.
The season they won La Liga they had to draw at Camp Nou in the final game of season to get the title and they did exactly that while not looking particularly fussed with the pressure Barca was putting them under.

Danilo as CB over Stones for City, how come? Has Stones been bad lately?
Juve still have a slim chance. Early goal would make it very interesting.
As for Schalke, why have they been absolutely smashed in every game since the first leg?
Not expecting much of a fight.

I think I have to bet the city over with their weird CB situation and that offensive a midfield
Easy win for city and don't really see Juve scoring more than 1.
feck off.
Messi had a goal incorrectly called offside in that match.
But they are a tough nut to crack, I agree.
The better he does, the better for Chelsea.
Stones is nursing an injury
No idea how credible it is.Tweet

Guy talking to Keown was not agreeing with anything he said
I
I reckon Ronaldo will be firing goals in at least until he is 37 at a high enough level.
Coming back from injury
Two boring games today. Everything is decided.
Ronaldo has only 1 cl goal this season? 
Juve have a shot
100M transfer feeRonaldo has only 1 cl goal this season?
And still managed to lose that game.Ronaldo has only 1 cl goal this season?
Why would he do that? They would watch him regardless and keep up with what is happening. He has a very close, small circle of family members and friends to begin with.
Atleti probably. Juve would be bouyant if they could come back in this tie and be high on confidence.
Wasn't it the overhead pass, first time volley against United at Juve?
1 European goal for Ronaldo? Lukaku has more in just one game. Lukaku>Ronaldo
Juve have less chance than United had last week, & that's saying a lot... But sigh, I'll watch anyway & pray for a miracle to happen.
