It's more of a mental game. If you believe you can lose, you will. This would not have worked against Berwick Rangers. Or even Tottenham. PSG simply lost their nerve.
Champions League Round of 16 (14th Feb - 15th Mar)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
You could pick any side from League 1 or 2 and ask them to go out there and not concede 2 goals in 5 minutes last night and most of them would manage it. I never look at forums of other teams but I think I might go looking at some PSG ones to see what they're saying.
If I could be bothered I would love to have quoted all the haters before and during the match but I'm too lazy so
More empty promises. I remember last season.
I really hope we play them in the next round. That's what football is all about, Real vs Barca.
Don't worry, if we win, all of catalunya will follow you soon so you won't be lonelyIf that happens, I want you to explain to my mother why she lost a son the day of the final because you demanded it
. And if you happen to win, you won't stay dead for long Did anyone watch Dortmund Benfica btw? The forgotten other game from last night.
Dang.. Madrid and Barca fans are holding hands and singing kumbaya in a United forum. John Lennon can smile in his grave, now.
I think City V Stoke was more forgettable..
Yeh. Credit to Barca that they deserved the win, but not for going through the next round. It's a bit common that some refs favors the home team, but like you said, they still need to score though.
yeah, game so ridiculous the world has yet to re-adjust
anyways, feck barca, hope they get drawn with juve and both clubs get banned from the competition for whatever, just because
If we qualify I want Real
feck no. Go play bayern or barcelona and get out of the competition pleaseIf we qualify I want Real
No idea on stats but this round of 16 must rank pretty high on the all time score chart, lots of goals and excitement. The performance that really caught my eye was Pulisic for Dortmund, Dembele gets more hype and is very explosive and talented, but Pulisic is more mature in his decision making right now and turned the game for Dortmund.

Juventus vs Porto
Leicester vs Sevilla
15 March 2017
Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Leverkusen
Monaco vs Man City
Juventus and Atletico Madrid already have one foot in the next round and they should breeze through.
Sevilla has made things a little hard for themselves by conceding that unnecessary away goal but if they play like how they did in the first leg, they should get through. But Leicester seemed to have find their belief back after Ranieri's sacking and Sevilla has a history of bottling in the Champions League. Last two times they made it to the round of 16, they got knocked out by Fernerbache on penalties and CSKA Moscow on away goals. Could be the most exciting match of this week.
Monaco is more than capable of beating City 2-0, 3-1 at home but City is in good form and with Pep, I expect them to get through with a score draw or a one goal defeat.

PSG squandering a 4-0 lead is fully on Emery but it also makes all games open from now on and Allegri needs to keep the team focused and play like it was 0-0 in Porto, otherwise we are in for a lazy display and a shocker. Simeone is pragmatic so Atletico should not fumble at this stage. I'm for Leicester going through against Sevilla, they found new life and are pretty good on their nights, just stick to their basics and show heart. Monaco - City seems open but I feel Guardiola has more control now, being out of the League race helps with pressure management, so higher quality should send them through.
Leicester's turn to make a remontada.
Image Leicester going through today 
It is not exactly unimaginable. All they need is just a 1-0 win which they are capable of doing it at home. After Ranieri was sacked, they seem to have that new found belief which made them win the title last season.Image Leicester going through today
I think Leicester will win tonight. They have the feel good factor again.
I bet on Leicester going through.
I fully agree with you here.
Sevilla should be able to get a 1-1 draw at worst.
I think they'll win 1-2 on the night.

God, I love the original Dragon Ball theme Makafushigi Adventure! Not even being associated with Barca can ruin it for me.
I could only image the wankfest in the media
Hoping Sevilla, the better team, obliterate Leicester.
I rarely want a "better" team to win. Show'em hell, Vardy.
Sevilla have been poor recently and Leicester seem to be getting better. Sevilla are clearly the better team but it's one of those games where it seems like the storyline is too big to fail.

Has Oliver Torres played much this season?
If Leicester win the Champions League and we win the Europa League, does that mean that the 4th placed team in the PL will be denied CL-football?
Yes
That happening is quite unlikely, but it would be hilarious to deny City, Liverpool or Arsenal Champions League football that way.We'll never know.
Sevilla progressing deep in the Champions League and possibly win it should be a bigger storyline. A team who has won the Europa League 3 consecutive times and only made it to the Champions League this season via winning the Europa League, despite finishing in their league in 7th is a valuable lesson to all of us to take the Europa League seriously. We could very well do a Sevilla this season i.e finishing 6th in the league but getting into Champions League next season via winning the Europa League.
What the feck was that display?
I think Porto will get hammered. The Leicester Sevilla match should be good.
Was it a cat?What the feck was that display?
