Meanwhile as we wait for the men, the Women are currently 1-0 up at halftime against Tottenham in the WSL. Was looking like it was gonna be 'one of those games' cos Spurs' goalie was in supergirl mode, thankfully Kerr scored late in the half.

If they hold on, they'll be one win away from the title.

Currently 2-0. Who did you vote for Women player of the year. I voted Kirby but I am not regretting that now but still it a toss up between her and Kerr.

Yes

I always thought you were a united fan. I don't remember why. Lol

Chelsea will face Real Madrid for the fifth time in European competition and are unbeaten against them in the previous four (W2 D2). This will be the first time across the five meetings that Chelsea have hosted the Spanish side.
Chelsea have progressed from five of their past seven knockout ties in the Champions League when avoiding defeat away from home in the first leg. However, one of these two eliminations came in their last semi-final appearance in the competition, v Atletico Madrid in 2013-14 (0-0 in first leg, 3-1 defeat in second leg).
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is looking to secure his fourth progression in four Champions League semi-finals, which would equal the record for most semi-final progressions by a manager in competition history (along with Sir Alex Ferguson, Carlo Ancelotti and Marcello Lippi).
Real Madrid could seal their place in a 17th European Cup/Champions League final, with their current total of 16 already being the most of any team. Progression here would set up Zinedine Zidane's fourth Champions League final in charge of Real.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has only lost four of his 18 home games as a manager in the Champions League (W12 D2), with his sides scoring 48 goals across these fixtures - an average of 2.7 per game.
Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has scored 71 goals in the Champions League and could become the outright fourth top scorer in the competition's history if he scores in this game, overtaking Raul (71).

So the league match vs Leicester has been moved to Wednesday, May 19.

This now means Chelsea’s last 3 domestic matches of the season will be played with fans in the stands!!

Wait! Are you a Chelsea fan?

I hope Chelsea women wins this.

How on earth would kane not get any Goal contribution in a rout, nawa o

I swear e burst o.

Son. Damn I should have captained him damn. Anyway my head to head is already won sha. That united Liverpool wipe out destroyed people's teams sha. A good week to have 3 spurs players, a shame none of them is Bale.

We eventually beat Bayern 4-1, but the game wasn't as comfortable as the scoreline suggests. We got a late third from Harder, then had a glorious chance to seal the game but Kerr missed one on one. Bayern almost punished us, but Berger and Eriksson made goal line blocks. We eventually caught them on the counter and Kirby slotted into an empty net.

So happy Eriksson came back...na our Thiago Silva/John Terry be DAT. Simply terrific.

On to face Barcelona in the finals. We meuvee!

I am so happy man after several heartbreaks at the semis. I feared when I saw our starting fullbacks Barcelona is a stern test but we can win it.

Nice finish from Havertz.

If Werner was clinical, it would have been a spectacular first season for him.

Please what is Ziyech through ball accuracy or is it forward pass? Eye test tells me it would be average or even poor.

The turnovers we are giving up in our final third is alarming. Gilmour isn't settled at all. There is no presence to shield against and start attacks at the base of that midfield

dubylhover:
Just going through our classic league,both of them,have to comment brutallion,that guy is an FPL beast,insanely consistent in this game.its no fluke he's having a 1k OR...Nicely played.

Yh and that Green beret fellow. Consistently topping the league for years.

Thecassanova:
Kante ran the show. Kroos modric casemiro no where to be found but some NL analyst predicted days ago that we will crash without Kovacic in midfield.

Tuchel masterclass. Next week we bury this Madrid team.

Defensively Casemiro was on point bro. Don't forget the header he won lead to the goal they scored.

hensben:
Puli will not start that game. Tuchel need more midfield bodies to challenge Real Madrid’s midfield. He will come in second half.

So Ziyech is the extra body you are looking to. The guy is an average presser. He would be easily bypassed. To make things worse his average pace means he is not good enough to lead counters.

Bluemann you watching the game? Chelsea Women just equalized through leupolz. PSG and Barcelona played a 1-1 draw in the other match.

Manchester City to win. Now that Mourinho has been sacked I have no love for Spurs.

iykmora:
@Sod took a 12pts hit dis GW but he should be guaranteed a win this week. Did ur opponent forget or he want gift you d match

No captain or vice pt...

He must have forgotten. I almost missed it myself. I saw the arsenal fixture around 6:11, bad service delayed me till 6:20.

London is blue.

Omo Liverpool reached four finals from five. The efficiency from that team especially the mid 2000s

nihilistjnr:
Omo the goal shock me sef

Na mad goal. Thank God for Chilwell's goal. It might have been another Iniesta moment.

Onward the blue army marches.

Into the semis. Omo if na Madrid our work has just began. I wonder how our midfield would fare against their 3. I won't be surprised if they match formation for formation.

nihilistjnr:
Congratulations boys semifinals and another clensheet

Spoke too late early.Make the boys seal up o. I no wan hear extra time.

Lana and his gifs just dey burst my head sha. Thanks to everyone that made this early morning full of humor for me.

What manner of violence is this? A holy day for that matter.

Porto coach Sergio Conceicao says he is concerned about facing Chelsea so soon after Saturday's chastening loss.

"I wished they had won the last game rather than lost," said Conceicao, whose side shocked Italian champions Juventus in the last 16 and come into Wednesday's game off the back of three straight league wins.

"A defeat like that serves as a warning, it sets the alarm bells off and makes everyone more alert to danger. Chelsea had been very strong until this game, they have the second-best defence in the Champions League and are a strong side.

"Their last game barely formed part of our analysis of them, I'm more focused on what they did against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, for example.

"Chelsea have several strengths that will be a real challenge for us to overcome."

The first leg is Porto's "home" game in the tie, although both matches are being played in Spain at Seville's Estadio Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan due to restrictions on travel between Portugal and England.

They will be without Iranian striker Mehdi Taremi, who was sent off in the second leg against Juve, as well as midfielder Sergio Oliveira, who scored both of his side's goals in that game and is also suspended.

NinjaMetahuman:
may be just tonight's game sha.

He was pretty much a passenger until the assist.

The game against sevilla on the other hand, he was a beast. Especially the first leg.

That is because Dortmund's midfield was second best for most of the game so he received no Service.

NinjaMetahuman:
Dunno why halaand keeps giving me tammy abraham vibe

They might be some similarities but Haaland is more efficient. He makes use of his lankiness better than Tammy and seems to be better technically, even looks speedier. Fair to say Haaland is a very advanced version of Tammy.

nihilistjnr:
This..Trent is exactly Beckham, no pace, but great passing and pullout ability.

No pace? He isn't as speedy as Walker but he is well above average though he isn't so good at recovering when caught upfield.
