Champions League 25/26

[JockStrap]

Monaco take the lead on the night against PSG, 1-0. Aggregate 3-3.

[JockStrap]

Best night of the CL by far. This round of fixtures is shaping up nicely.

Half time aggregate scores are

Juve 3-5 Galatasaray
PSG 3-3 Monaco
Madrid 2-1 Benfica

Everything to play for in each game.

[JockStrap]

It's all happening.

Juve were playing well second half and threatening to get back into it. Then Kelly is sent off. That's a real shame because it has probably ended their chances.

Juve 3 - 5 Galatasaray

Coulibaly is sent off for Monaco and Marquinhos immediately scores for PSG to give them back the aggregate lead.

PSG 4-3 Monaco

Trent with a great piece of play almost scores for Madrid. Still 1-1 in that game.

Madrid 2 - 1 Benfica

What a night.

PSG score again, Kvaratskhelia.

That Monaco sending off has ruined the game and ended their participation in the CL.

PSG 5 - 3 Monaco

[JockStrap]

10 man Juve score again. 2-0 on the night.

Juve 4 - 5 Galatasaray

Mad stuff.

[JockStrap]

NO WAY. 10 man Juve score again to go level on aggregate. From 2-5 down to 5-5 now. That game is a great watch.

Madrid also score to effectively end that game. Aggregate scores are ..

Juve 5-5 Gala

Real 3-1 Benfica

PSG 5-3 Monaco

[JockStrap]

10 man Monaco equalise on the night 2-2, in the 90th minute. They need another though

PSG 5 - 4 Monaco

[JockStrap]

What a fantastic night of football and drama. That's how sport should be.

A brilliant effort from Juve who played with 10 men for 70 minutes and had managed to claw back a 3 goal deficit. They ran out of legs in the end but what an effort.

PSG and Madrid progress too.

A great night of football.

Dodgy red card for juve imo

They gave it a good try, must be gutting pulling it back to lose it in extra time, but understandable

Some dodgy ref decisions across the board

Hope we get the turks, they're ok at home, but keep it tight, we'll smash them at home.

Yea tough draw either way for us. It's the business end of the CL so to be expected. You can see all the potential lineups here https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/draws/

Let's hope for Madrid v City in the last 16.

Erm changed my mind don't think we'll win it this year

We'll make it to the quaters

to be fair we've just got to many injury's not big enough squad, and lacking in areas... hopefully we don't burn out too hard.

Come on Kev. Keep the faith.

We'll have Gomez, Frimpong and maybe Isak back for the latter stages. We're winning this.

As sid has posted in the 19x spam thread

If we do get Galatasaray and win then we'd face one of PSG, Barcelona or Chelsea in the quarters.....hmmm.

If we get Atletico and win then we'd get one of Newcastle, Chelsea or Barcelona in the quarters.

To be fair, I'd give us a chance v any of them, PSG don't seem consistent but on paper that's the team i'd be scared of the most, they struggled against Monaco, couldn't beat newcastle & bilbao lost to 10 men bayern at home when Diaz was sent off at half time basically.

Atletico side would be a better draw, but harder round of 16 obviously.

I think a english team wins it this season, but question is who- just think other top clubs are just not as good or in form, obviously can't count PSG,Bayern barca real out, never can but none of them have impressed me

[JockStrap]

Yea there are going to be a lot of good close matches. Not really any team standing out as clear favourites. We have a chance!

Remember, last 16 draw at 11am.
