150:1 odds on the underdog

still not a fan of Bayern Munich but they will become german champion this year, they are always the favorite to win the national cup and it's looking good in the champions league. impressive season so far and next year they will have Guardiola as coach...

I think Bayern will be tough to beat, they looked very good last night, and will get better over the coming seasons, could be a strong force for a while

That was easy money last night. My only regret is that i didn't stick even more on Bayern than I did...

Manchester United failed to cope with controversial red

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the decisive goal as Real Madrid controversially came from behind to win 2-1 at Manchester United on Tuesday and reach the Champions League quarter-finals.

Borussia Dortmund demolished an under-par Shakhtar Donetsk 3-0 at Signal Igunda Park to advance to the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals 5-2 on aggregate.

The kick to the chest looks so bad, but i must agree that a red card was probably too harsh, as Nani was looking at the ball and not noticing Arbeloa was running towards it too so it was not intentional.

Anyway i'm a Real Madrid fan, so i won't complain :)

how the ref didn't punch that cocksucker ferdinand at the end while he was clapping in the ref's face I'll never know. A man with far, far more restraint than I.

http://i.minus.com/ifMqWF94BPM1p.gif

Referee Cuneyt Cakir has a Twitter account, follows Real Madrid & Cristiano Ronaldo. Say no more.

Barcelona!!!!

I'll say this: ferdinand should have got a punch in the fucking mouth for that. And another one for being an all-round cunt.

Ferdinand is a cunt.

AC Milan or Real Madrid :thumbsup

Ezequiel Lavezzi's equalizer earned Paris Saint-Germain a 1-1 draw against Valencia to send it into the last eight.

At this stage you have to think Real Madrid or Bayern Munich are real potential winners. Barcelona even tho they face a 2-0 deficit, I think can over turn it but Messi has to have a strong game or it won't happen.

I'd like to see Real Madrid win it this year, they are really fired up and deserve the success, but so too do Bayern, they play great football.

Looking forward to watching the Barca vs Milan game tonight.

No idea how it's gonna go. I think Barca will win on the night, but Milan to maybe do enough to go through. So maybe 2 - 1 Barca, or 1 - 0 Barca...

Same here, imagine Milan scoring first... :thumbsup

Barca so far been at their devastating best. Which is bad news for Milan.

3 - 0. Just over 20mins left. A Milan goal here is still enough to send them through. Gonna be some finish to this one.

Crazy to think if Milan had scored when the game was only 1 - 0 and they hit the post. I think that would have killed off Barcelona altogether...

Barcelona 4 - Milan 0

Can't really argue with Barca on that form. Robinho cost Milan that killer goal at the end. What the fuck was he doing with that short free-kick when instead it should have been sent high into the box.


Most teams will be wanting Galatasaray in the next round surely...

Great ending to the Schalke vs Galatasaray game. We stopped shooting to watch the last 2-3 minutes.

So no option for Galatasaray? ;)
