With the way Madrid played lastnight I believe Chelsea stand a chance against them. They ain't that spectacular.



If Liverpool had converted their chances the story would have been different..... Something tells me Chelsea will shock people by making it to the final. Manchester City is the major threat now, I don't think PSG will be able to stop them.

Madrid had a 2 goal lead to protect so what they played was expected. Even the Chelsea game against Porto, you could see that Chelsea didn't play well like 1st leg. so don't use Madrid's performance yesterday to judge. Meanwhile I don't see city as a threat, but rather PSG.

Mustiboy:
Mumu.

I started supporting City in 2010/11 season because of PES. I loved using them, as I used to torture my opponents then with Tevez, Nasri, Balloteli, Dzěko, Yaya Touré, and so on.

I wasn't even much of a football fan then, but Man City made me love football. Thankfully, we won the PL the following season, thanks to Aguero.

You made me remember PES12. I use city too and It seems they are the best side in that game. even if my opponent use Barca or Madrid I will still beat them.

TheGoodJoe:
A lot of us started following Manchester City very early before the arrivals of the likes of Nasri and Yaya Toure.

This is a comment I made in 2014 about an article I wrote on BBC forum in 2010. My moniker on that forum was everestmindz.
Date: September 17, 2014


It was a very nice forum. Sad BBC closed it. I had fun there.

I started developing interest in City due to the exploits of Aguero. Infact most of the fans they have now started following after Aguero joined. He played a pivotal role in helping City to snatch the league title from United in 2012 and that achievement also attracted more fans.

Another player I like very much is Thierry Henry. He also made me develop interest in Arsenal around 2002 or thereabout. I am still a fan till date even though they are now a shadow of their former self.

Reference:
That is my prediction and if it comes through it will be a classic. Hopefully all the injured will be back.

That's what everyone will mostly predict at this stage of the competition but sadly It has not been happening like that in recent years. It is usually one underdog Vs one experienced team. So you should expect to see something like (City Vs Madrid) or (PSG Vs Che)

judedwriter:
Pep won't rest until he wins champions league with man city....

Will he be lucky this time round? PSG will tell

I wish he can win it this time but the task ahead is daunting. Two heavy weights are still in the competition. If he is able to scale through PSG, of which I cannot see the possibility for now. Then he has another monster to face in the Finals which is Madrid. Unless Chelsea are able to knock them out then City will stand a better chance of clinching the title. PSG still remains the favourites to win it this season.

Another Tuchel servant spotted!

Proximity to my place of work and also serenity. I hate noise

djon78:
Looks like I have been talking with a kid No wonder you can't grasp thing's

[/s]
Tuchel is your Master! Now run along, little boy.

djon78:
You don't even know what tactically sound Managers is self for you to mention Brendan Rogers and Moyes
I have been discussing with a novice



Carlo Ancelotti, Jose have reached there prime, they are declining now more on the retiring level

[/s]

Rubbish talk. continue worshipping and asslicking your Messiah and Master called Tuchel.

Joysticks:
Tuchel is tactical today If Chelsea lose March against Brighton una go say make dem sack am

Don't mind their lousy fans. He can't even keep up the tempo. Any little slip from him and they will start calling for his sack. Mourinho still remains their best coach ever and also regarded as one of the best tactician in the game but we all know how it ended for him at Chelsea. Tuchel's case won't be any different.

chyzoo4u:
One question, did you see Chelsea advancing beyond round of 16 when they were drawn against athletico Madrid?

Forget ATM, everyone knows their style. They don't carry much threat upfront, they prefer to sit deep and defend. It was an underdog like Leipzig that eliminated them last season so before their match against Chelsea, I gave both teams a 50/50 chance. I will still repeat it that Chelsea have not been properly tested until they meet sides like Madrid, City, PSG etc who are hungry for goals and very clinical upfront.

OKOATA:
Guy all I see is hate and envy written over you, are you saying Tuchel isn't good at all, moreover Porto beat Chelsea on a neutral ground. You are just sounding pained, better go and hug transformer. I will save your post and let's see what you will say if Chelsea beat Madrid.

[/s]

Nonsense. what do you want me to do with these 1971 records? That is history bro, If you want to do analysis in football and make a forecast to be as accurate as possible, you look at the recent forms of the teams in question and even if you want to look back, it is unreasonable to go beyond 10yrs. Now you are bringing a record of more than 50years old. The Madrid or Chelsea of just 5years ago is completely different from what we have now, not to talk of 50years ago thats very ridiculous from you.

djon78:
No you don't take him out of the equation
When Tuchel took over Chelsea
What was the result on ground?

This guy have gone on to win many games
Beat teams they where written off about


He has done excellently well
He is a good tactician

This Chelsea team where in shambles
He has done a good work on them


As far as English Premier league is concerned
They have three tactically sound Managers

Jurgen Kloop
Pep Guardiola
And now Tuchel has been added to them


If Chelsea manage to overcome Real Madrid in semi finals
And PSG reach finals
Tuchel will run rings over PSG
He was there former manager
He knows the team inside out
You know this game of Life can be very hillarous

Meeting the manager you just sacked some months ago in a final

Three tactically sound managers indeed, where did you put the likes of Jose mourinho, Brendan Rodgers, Carlo Ancelotti and David Moyes It is even too early to include Tuchel in the list.

Ijeleigbo:
Really? Is that what you think? Tuchel was fired because he had misunderstanding with the board not because of performance. He won two league titles for PSG and took them to the finals of the Champions League.... That to you is not an achievement? Don't worry, e go clear for your eye! Talk is cheap.....

Na today PSG don dey win league title? with Tuchel or no Tuchel, they have been winning it back to back like it's their birth right. can you even remember the last time another team apart from PSG won it?. So please forget about that one, it is not an achievement.

djon78:
What if city no comot Chelsea this weekend, wetin go happen

Pep and Tuchel have not played any game against each other as Managers in EPL before today

Both are tactically sound Managers and we will find out who will out wit the other

Same happened btw klop and Tuchel
Liverpool has been beating Chelsea under lampard but there was difference when they met

Anyone that looks down on this present Chelsea with there Manager is not sound
They have all it takes to carry this competition

Take Liverpool out of the equation for now, they are currently at their all time low. Any team can beat them these days, they are no longer a threat.

Ijeleigbo:
So it is Chelsea that is not a high pressing side? Stop the beef and hate and enjoy the game of football. I would support any English side at this stage if Chelsea didn't make it. Football no be mathematics.... It's a game of tactics and Chelsea have one of the best tactical managers in the world who got to the champions league finals last year with PSG. If you like, argue with your phone!!!

Best tactical manager my foot. Getting to the UCL Final shouldnt be an achievement considering the quality of players he had at PSG. Even with all the quality players he had at his disposal, he was almost knocked out along the way by a medicore team like Atalanta. It was no Surprise that PSG had to fire him because he wasn't performing to their expectations.

Seunfretty:
Everyone saying Chelsea was defending should plsss shut up...portó is a fucking good side and would ave given ur almighty bayern and psg a run for their money like they did tonight....it's high time we watch football tactically and nt just because we wanna troll ...give it to Chelsea and most especially tuchels...he has don a great job....the next round will likely be against madrid and till i here the final whistle i won't write and team off...u all were counting Chelsea out months ago wen they were drawn against athletico....anyteam that knocks this Chelsea team out at the moment in ucl did so cos of s superior quality and nt chelsea is bad ..this Chelsea team as proven it's worth let's stop the unreasonable hate...

[/s]

Let us be sincere with ourselves, Porto is a Very poor side. you are just overating them because they managed to beat a Juve side that is currently out of form under a clueless and inexperienced manager like pirlo.. look at the nonsense they played with Chelsea in the first and second leg. No urgency and they were berift of ideas going forward. It was only towards the end of the second half of the second leg that they showed real purpose and urgency when it was already late and they were rewarded with a goal.

Believe me I don't see Chelsea advancing beyond this stage because the remaining teams are high pressing sides and clinical in front of goal.

EbukaHades10:
Medicine after death.

Something wey dem for do since

Don't mind them, they started showing urgency when the game was almost over.

Ladiesdoctor:
Reaching this stage of champions league was Barcelona's, Man U, Arsenal, Bayern, Real Madrid dream.
Na correct champions dey reach this level.

Go sit down

your inclusion of Bayern and real Madrid just exposed you that you know nothing about football. Bayern and Madrid are regulars at this stage and beyond and have won it several times and quite recently too, so what's there to dream about?

signature2012:
Eyah.

You should have told the coach to select you along the first 11

[/s]

Chelsea were just defending while waiting for mistakes to counter as usual which is their regular trademark. I don't see them making it beyond this stage with this kind of play. A high pressing and clinical side like Madrid, PSG or City will rip them apart.

Useless Porto. They started showing real urgency when the game was almost over. what they should have been doing since the beginning of the game, they would have levelled up.

Angelfrost:
Porto is done here... Conceding 2 goals in their own backyard against a hyper defensive side like Chelsea shows they don't belong in this campaign.

Even Newcastle won't blow such a lead.

very useless team. see them playing like amateurs. it still beats my imagination how they managed to knock out Juve.

kalu61:
Porto got nothing to lose. Pressing is allowed and counter too

Which pressing? without attempt on goal? when you jam Madrid, Bayern or city it is then you will see pressing.

This Porto team is the most useless in this competition. Look at how they are playing like amateurs. I still don't know how they managed to knock out Juve.

otipoju:
Rashford is not a striker...he is more of a attacker/winger who scores.

Strikers in the true sense of the word are players like Drogba, Inzaghi, Benzema,Shearer and Cavani.

So you mean man utd don't have a striker apart from Cavani?

otipoju:
Always leave when the ovation is loudest.
And revealing how much he loved the club did not work in his favour as well.

After he signed the extension, Solkjaer went to buy Old man Cavani who is a miss 5 score 1 striker

That's an insult to Cavani. Despite his age, he is still more prolific and reliable than Rashford, Martial etc. Infact he is the best striker manutd have at the moment. Rashford is very very unreliable. He is the type you should refer to as miss 5 score 1 and Martial is even worse.

richmanrichard:
This is d same thing u said in 2012

You guys should leave this 2012 argument. The current crop of players don't have what it takes to replicate the 2012 saga.

Pierocash:
Madrid will be beating silly, even in Santiago de Barnabeu ,not to talk of Stanford Bridge

Lol, this one doesn't know anything about football. He just wants to catch cruise. I shouldn't have quoted you initially.

Pierocash:
Aside Man City, and PSG, no other team in the competition can survive Chelsea. Madrid nah work over

It will shock you. Technically speaking, Madrid and Bayern still remain the most dreaded teams in the competition. Forget the fact that Bayern lost their 1st leg and Madrid is currently struggling in their domestic league.
