Champions League- Tough Draws For Some Epl Clubs, Good Break For One

[Gene]

Courtois robs Ibrahimovic in extra time! 1-1 final. Not a bad result for Chelsea as imho they had to hang on for over 30 minutes after Cavani tied it up..........and of course getting the away goal.


Bayern-Shakhtar ended up 0-0. Pretty good result for Shakhtar keeping Bayern from getting an away goal. Let's see how that plays out in the return leg.

Cant wait for the Man City vs Barcelona game today!! Man city may finally attack and push to win against Barca instead of the same result as last year. 1st legs are always a teaser, 2nd legs are going to be unbelievable!!

Barca-MCFC kicking off in about 10 minutes on FOX Sports 1.

Borussia v Juventus on FOX Sports 2.

 

[Gene]

1-0 Barcelona. Suarez, 16'.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

Dos a cero. I'm fine if the Catalans want to borrow the chant. Or score more.

Damn, I miss Suarez.

 

[Vito]

Barcelona just look so dominant

 

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

Hope Frank likes coming in for mop up duty in this embarrassment.

 

[NYCFC_Dan]

Yeah Barcelona are on another level. Every pass pushes them further and further up the pitch and just begs the defender to come in and make a mistake.

 

[Gene]

Juventus with a 2-1 lead at the break. Tevez (13') Marata (43') for Juve. Reus (18') for Borussia.

 

[Gene]

oooof. City had Barca on their heels after a 69' goal by Aguero, but Clichy getting a Red just ended that.

Uefalona set up their golden child with some minnows. Must be nice.

 

[Gene]

Wow. Hart saves and extra time PK from Messi. That could be huge!

 

[Nicholas Constantino]

Cya City and Dortmund.

 

[Fantazma]

eh dortmund is still more alive, technically they only need to score 1-0 at home and they go thru.

Man city is screwed they need at least two and i dont think thats happening

 

[BxLio91]

Let's hear the excuses.

 

[Fantazma]

Let's hear the excuses.

from pellegrini?

 

[MikeDatTiger]

Let's hear the excuses.

If you want an excuse, I could point out that Yaya was out

But seriously, Barca is one of if not the best club in the world at the moment. They're awesome, Messi is awesome, and they're in good form. And it showed in the first half. However, city showed in the second half before the red card that Barca isn't immortal and created a number of good opportunities including the goal.

City obviously have a difficult task in front of them, but it wouldn't be Manchester City if City didn't make it more difficult on themselves. Looking forward to seeing what the second tie brings, as the game was a good game to watch.

 

[BxLio91]

from pellegrini?

From fans of the best club evar.

Barca is Barca but City had a hell of 2nd half until Clichy's stupid 2nd yellow. A win is a win but anyone can see that it's a different story if Clichy stayed on the pitch.

What can you do. As said Barca is an amazing side. No Citeh supporter I know thought we'd beat them. I had hoped to ground out a 1-1 or 0-0 draw. Didn't happen and fair play to Barca. We aren't on their level but few are. Hope to go there and return the favor but it won't be easy.
