2015/16 UEFA Champions League

[Goondal]

I did not see a thread, which is surprising.  First legs of the Ro16 are completed.  Gotta say, not happy with the final half hour the other day.  Should have left with a victory and two away goals.  Still the favorite returning to Munich but the injuries on the back line are definitely effecting things.  Kimmich is not good enough at all to win the CL with.

As for the oher match-ups, I found it interesting to see that Atletico failed to get an away goal again Einhoven, that would crack me up.

The other two teams that are in danger heading home are Zenit and Chelsea, each down a goal to Benfica and PSG respectively (although Chelsea has an away goal)

Barca, Real, and City all lead by multiple goals while Wolfsburg has a one goal lead and three away goals.

Just glad City didn't have to face Barca for the 3rd straight year in the round of 16.

HOLY SH!T!!!

That is all

Damn. Juve absolutely bottled it.

[Goondal]

Absolutely should have lose that.  Really hoping for Benfica or Wolfsburg, could use a lighter match-up after that whole thing.  Really need to get healthy

[Goondal]

Interesting statistic.  In three of the past four years Bayern, Barca, and Real were in the semi-finals.  The exception was two years ago when Bayern and Real were both in it.  Those teams have never met in the finals though.

Can't believe Juve didn't have a clause in Coman's loan contract that made sure he couldn't face his parent club. His goal was the nail in the coffin.

Chelsea had that a few years back with Atletico if I recall correctly.  I think UEFA let the guy play anyway?

Real just having the inevitable prolonged after drawing Wolfsburg.

Is it just me or does Real play Bundesliga teams a lot?

[Goondal]

Very happy with the Benfica draw.  Maybe will get us a chance to get healthy.  For all the grief I give Boateng, I really miss him.

At least four years in a row, so it's not you.

Torres scores and gets two yellows in the same half. Atletico up 1-0 playing with 10 men. Bayern go up 1-0 early. Benfica probably should have been given a penalty on a handball in the box, but ref said no.
