Semi-finals...

Juventus vs Leicester
Madrid vs Monaco.

Final...

Leicester 2-1 Monaco (AET)

Barca will see off Juve cos Juve are not as strong as they used to be defensively and their midfield is not the best around.
Bayern will beat Madrid, Madrid have not being playing so well for some time now and with Robben and Lewy on fire, I don't see them progressing at the expense of Bayern...
Dortmund vs Monaco is very unpredictable as the both teams love to attack and play high octane football, however, over two legs, I'd wager my money on Monaco cos they're more clinical than Dortmund...
Atletico vs Leicester is the only one sided game especially if Leicester plays as bad as they played against Sevilla away from home. Over a two legged affair, I don't see Leicester progressing except they put up the kind of performance reminiscent of their last season display.
It promises to be fun anyhow things turn out.

We have fewer matches to play now. I prefer this situation to when we were playing too many matches. Let all our concentration, attention and energy be on Europa and EPL

I wanted Man City to beat Monaco so they'll have the UCL on their minds as well as the EPL and Fa cup...

Romero MOTM for me. Mata isn't worth it. No one else is.

Herrera was class too

Very good performance from the lads today tho we missed of plethora of chances of which Ibra was the major culprit. Rojo was very impressive as was Herrera who was all over the pitch making interceptions, controlling our play and even creating chances.
Mata was his usual self, popped up with the vital goal as well as created very good chances for Mkhi and Ibra, good all round performance.
Valencia was also impressive although, he needs to improve on his delivery, commanded the right wing.
Blind was good before the injury, his positional play was perfect.
Mkhitaryan was very sharp, missed a very good chance created by Mata but after that blemish, he had a great game.
Romero was class, pulled off couple of really good stops, feels good when you know your second choice goalie is one you can comfortably rely on.
Fellaini was just as impressive as any one on the pitch today bar Romero and Herrera, dude was surprising good, his touches and ball control was a joy to watch, long may it continue.
We need to be more clinical going forward cos it's a case of winning all our remaining fixtures.

SIRcumalot:
either we're playing this three at the back formation or blind is in the midfield.
am not sure blind is athletic enough to play this wingback role.all this aside,strong squad.

Most definitely 3-4-3...Mou should have tried this set up earlier than now, I reckon we have the players best suited for it. If only Shaw will just grab that LWB slot, we'd be much better off.

ramdeuter, don't overlook dis. I need serious conviction before I pay for d fraudulent lesson u r engaged in

Lol him dey one corner dey plan how him go escape from this SIR cumalot trap wey catch him left balls.

That was two weeks ago dunce. Besides, I didn't cry. After 12years you can't expect any fluids in my tear duct, would you?

Meanwhile, how do you guys cope with a degraded second class European competition? I have never experienced it.

The one you have experience in, how many have you won or better put, how many do you have over us?

Simple logic, you have no moral grounds to question Magu over an allegation when you are littered with dirt.

Hypocrisy at its finest

Are you dumb or something?

Where were you when Airmark used it as a criteria. Ohe he is skekpe fan so he is free to do so. How myopic can you be?

Airmark used it in reference to Dayo as a way of mocking his illogical stance.

Emaprince:
The players you listed does not look less of talents when compared to their Bayern counterparts.

Lewandoski isn't better than Aguero. Pep is just making dude look shiity. Either of Silva and Kdb will displace Thiago and leave him on the bench.

I listed few of many, over the 11 players on the field of play, Bayern are better due in most part to the brilliance of Robben who is head and shoulders above Sterling and Neur who is just about the safest pair of hands you can have.

I think we can provide This platform his looking for.
I hope we seriously look at this guy before anybody else for off season.

Na to tidy Rostov today and pray for a favorable tie I would like to avoid any Italian or german team till the actual final.

Roma always flatter to deceive, the German teams are the ones I consider threats to some level and it's that Monchengladbach I rate, Schalke are unpredictable, they're having a difficult season

Spy360:
After the excitement of Tue and Wed, we get to put up with United and some Russians?

The Arsenal vs Bayern game was also exciting right? Bet it was so pleasant for your viewing pleasure that you had to turn your tv off and cry.

ollah2:
Monaco is atop of Ligue 1. Mou's chelsea lost at home to PSG. This isn't the first time ligue 1 teams have been fvcking EPL teams.

Since this position on the league table is the new criteria you lots have employed, why didn't Shakespeare's Leicester bend over to get fvcked by Sevilla, Is it cos he is Shakespeare after all? Excuses like never before.

ollah2:
Man c is in third place with same points as spurs. The lost on aggregate to the best team in France. Lique 1 is greater than EPL. When you roll with dummies, it affects your thinking cap.

The mediocrity in EPL is affecting him.
That league is a disease and it reeks of cluelessness

His mediocrity is only forcing its way out cos he doesn't have the quality of players he had at Barca and Bayern to mask it, even worse is the fact that he lost to a Monaco team that isn't the strongest around compare to the City squad at his disposal. Pep is a fraud, ffs he outspend all the other mangers in the EPL but isn't doing any better.

Double post

afrodoc2:
When we told Dayo that the once in a lifetime players like Messi,Xavi and Robben made Guardiola he was hanging an axe on his head.
I believe he is a decent manaead.
I believe he is a decent manager but not the football messiah they have painted him to be.
Any decent manager can win league titles and UCL with peak Messi and Xavi or peak robben and lewandowki.
Now let us see you do it with peak Aguero, de Bruyne, and "the the best young talents around" Sane, Sterling and Gab Jesus.

Doc, to be frank, there's no reason why City should not be advancing against teams the quality of Monaco (No disrespect to them), with the quality Pep has to work with, he should definitely see off Monaco. Your last line makes it look Aguero, KDB, Silva, Sane and co are not good enough, fine when you compare them with Barca and Bayern, they are less of talents but away from such comparison, they're the best you can get around.

weedtaker:
kdb is shyte though.

He had a shocker yesterday but he isn't shyte, Pep is playing him far from the area where he can wreck havoc, it's like playing Lampard in his prime years where he scored lots of goal far away from the opposition goal, who does that? Pep!!!

If you must troll do it intelligently, they was once upon a time when that lilKesh made sense outta trolling but now? The less said the better.
The other olodo360 is not even worth it, how do you manage to still raise your head when you've been lowered down is a mystery.

brainiacadeboi:
Mendy is damn good

Mentioned him here after their game with spurs in the group stage but some folks said I was overreacting. Mbappe, Silva (Didn't really played to his potential today) and Lemar are special. Fabinho is versatile, he can virtually play excellently in all the outfield positions on the pitch

cstr151:
North korea come out and fight, you cowards.
Bloody sabre rattling nutjobs.

Stop blabbing bro, I don't see or hear any news of a military invasion of the North, tell your so called world police to drop just a pn on North Korean soil and watch what will happen afterwards. Empty chest beating is not for real men, get on the dance floor.

jpmoriarti:
Maybe we'll begin to hear less of Sampoli this, Sampaoli that here.

You are the true Barca fan here, not that glory hunter

Empty vessels are the most vocal...Sampaoli that some chaps here think is better than Enrique, you never know what you've got till it's gone. Rubbish

Sh.it has most definitely hit the fan

Leyqute:
Replace Rashford with Ibrahimovic- that's who Mou trusts to lead the team.

Ibra is suspended, no?

Naija don hammer, let them keep importing them, we will rather use them to arm our military.

maidaboi:
This barcelona win or history making is bigger than ucl trophy because Arsenal has a better chance of winning the ucl trophy than any team breaking this record #barcaforlife

It's lines like this that make people come here to troll you lots, no disrespect to Barcelona for the awesome performance but to me, the feat by Deportivo La corona and that night in Istanbul where Liverpool defied the odds is greater than what Barcelona did.
Ac Milan on the both occasions they lost after being in a strong position were the better side with better players so, it makes the effort of Deportivo and Liverpool greater cos they were clearly average teams when compared to Milan all over the pitch. The case with Barcelona was having a great team fail to turn up in the first leg and in the second leg, playing to their true potential to edge out PSG. In truth, with MSN, anything, I repeat, anything is possible. And yes, other teams will rather have Barca produce magical nights like wednesday and end up failing to win the trophy, that performance for all its greatness can't compare to winning the Champions league.
FYI, I'm no hater...

GloryIsaac:
That Jones is gonn' be an issue oo, but i prefer him to Smalling shaa ........

Good game for us today, away goal despite the bad pitch, i wonder why uefa allowed them to use that pitch... Everyone was falling anyhow, and that ref made things harder, always blowing whistle like a bird

True that Jones is unusually shaky but he is better with the ball than Smalling. Hope Bailly is fit for the battle at the bridge?

I like the fact that we coped without injuries, good result...I'll love to have Mou deploy the 3-5-2 set up against Chelsea with Shaw and Valencia on the wings, something like; De Gea - Jones - Bailly - Rojo - Valencia - Shaw - Herrera - Pogba - Mhkitaryan - Martial - Rashford...
