Man, Chelsea played really well today (except for Fabregas, poor performance), the 4-1 aggregate score does not reflect how good they actually were in both games. A few crucial mistakes, some bad luck (hitting the crossbar a bunch of times), and Messi, were key factors in both games.

Looking forward to the quarter finals, hopefully we'll see Sevilla vs Roma so that the big teams (and Man City) can play against each other.

Agree , Barcelona didn't dominate the game , conte seems instructed the whole team to keep making pressure. Unfortunately their fighting spirit not help to survive at the camp nou . Alonso hit the woodwork once also with rudiger header could save them and change the game actually. Conte has no regret , very well played Chelsea. Wish new champion could born this season.

Besiktas was about to win but stupid referee tried to stop them. He made huge mistakes, didn't give yellow cards. Besiktas will still win this game despite that bayern's dog referee.

What?! Can you tell me where referee did make wrong decisions? I think you watched something different than Besiktas - Bayern game. Oh, now I see, you are Turk fan of Besiktas...

Yeah, Chelsea played not bad. But today Courtois conceded 2 goals between his legs! And Messi was brilliant today, especially when he made assist to Dembele. Chelsea defenders thought that he will pass ball to Suarez, so they run towards him and Dembele got lot of space.
It should be great quarterfinals, this year we don't have obvious underdogs among top 8 teams. Maybe we can understimate Sevilla and Roma but they still can surprise us.

[cicciobtc]

here are the 8 teams qualified for the quarterfinals:
Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Sevilla
Manchester City,Liverpool
Juventus,Roma
Bayern

I think that Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona are superior to the other teams.

[Rinsend]

deputy England fall and leaving only 2 representatives from 5 teams that qualify for the last 16. Manchester City and Liverpool, while Tottenham Hotspurs, Manchester United and Chelsea have to stop. Well, Manchester City and Liverpool get a somewhat easier opponent, while the other three must fight the Spanish representatives and end in defeat.

*Spurs not lost by the Spanish representative, sorry for my mistake above.

I hope in round of 8 the team that will play like this,
Real Madrid vs Barcelona
Manchester City vs  Bayern Munchen
Liverpool vs Sevilla
Juventus vs Roma
I think it will be an interesting match, the people in my country will say this's game called the early final.

Liverpool, Sevilla, Roma and Juventus probably can consider as mediocre teams but i expect one of them could defeat Madrid or Barcelona although quite difficult however i wish to see there is big match for quarterfinal matches such as Barcelona vs Madrid or Manchester City vs Bayern

Barcelona really makes Chelsea worse off. they do not give Chelsea a chance to qualify for the next round at UCL while Chelsea must also try to improve their position in the Premier League if they want to compete again in UCL match next season. The current conditions are really unfavorable for Chelsea. However, despite Chelsea, remain a team that has always been a favorite to win all competitions. From the match tonight, I was convinced that Barcelona would win the game so I set up a gamble for Barcelona's victory.

[tokeweed]

^  But what could we really expect?  Lol.  That's Barca.

But there were a few moments during the game when Chelsea wasn't doing bad at all.  It was after Messi's first goal...  Chelsea started being more aggro.  I was anticipating Willian getting one in too but no.  After seeing Barca's second goal, you would know it was over.

This season Barcelona is converting their chances to goals at much better rate then usual for them. I remember watching them during past seasons when they absolutely destroyed their opposition with their possession game and created 20+ chances without scoring a goal. This season they are playing like champions. Meaning even when they are not playing so good they manage to win.

Barcelona more than deserved their win even though the final result is a bit hard on Chelsea.

The pundits were all telling Conte he had to change his game plan and for some reason, I think it got to him. They should have been prepared for the atmosphere at Nou Camp, but it probably threw them off - noise was deafening even on TV, and that led to the early goal from Messi. Credit to them, they actually didn't play too badly to be honest, Kante was superb and Willian was his usual threat. It's just a pity Barca were the better team after all. So it's 3 Spanish teams in the last 8 after all, and England will need to look at themselves and think that perhaps they had too much pride with 5 teams in the Last 16.

Our attentions to Europa tonight. I have hopes of Dortmund turning this around, and with them to progress @2.9, I know where my money is tonight!

The away matches are always difficult and Barcelona were already chosen winners, right from the start. Conte has been screaming for reinforcements but he didn't get and plus selling matic also has effected them. Barcelona do what they normally do win. Though Chelsea did try it, it was never going to be them at camp Nou now let's await for the draws.

[dado7]

The ease of Messi winning such a high profile game almost by himself is still incredible.
Regarding Manchester United - Sevilla game, I was very surprised to see MAN UTD dropping out since the game came to Mourinho who is the best when he can decide how and in what conditions the game will be played. Who else thinks this is the biggest flop in his carries so far?

Yeah Chelsea had more than enough chances to get 1 or 2 goals & make it a lot closer, Barcelona were just much more clinical. One point I will make is Courtois was at fault for 2 of the Barcelona goals, he should have especially saved the 1st one.
Dembele’s goal was a give away by Fabregas in midfield, all 3 could have been avoided.

You know,I was one of those who were trashing Courtois for the two nutmegs last night, but if you think about it, there was nothing he could do. He said in the post-match interview that he had to open his legs/arms to cover more space (which opens a big space between your legs), Messi knew this and that's why he went for the low shot, if Courtoius closes his legs he wouldn't have lateral movement and Messi would've had 2 angles to shoot (right and left).

Europa League later today, i'm looking forward to Arsenal vs Milan (Both teams to score @1.68 and Over 3.5 Goals @2.80), and Zenit vs RB Leipzig (Leipzig to qualify @1.39)

[Zlatna Kopa4ka]

Hit the needle on the head with my prediction that Besiktas will score. Unfortunately really screwed up with Barcelona and Chelsea, I was almost a 100 per cent convinced that it was going to be a really boring game, turns out I was big time wrong. Barcelona scored 3 goals which were good and all, but Chelsea.. They had the game of their season and still lost. 

[Aleister Crowley]

I think victory barcelona at the time against Chelsea is a fortune, because some chances that can be made by Chelsea always hit the posts, apart from that the dominance of the game was superior to chelsea, well this is what needs to be evaluated by chelsea. the settlement must be more focused and it is a task that must be resolved immediately ,,
congratulations to barcelona

That is the reason for Barcelona elimination next round , they are converting almost all the goal chances that they could have in every game , imagine the day when messi have a bad time or he got injury , I can definitely say that this will be a nightmare for Barcelona to even score a goal  I still say that Barcelona is messi and without messi there is no Barcelona . This is also why Barcelona administration was frustrated for almost a year to sign the renovation contract for him and this is why they gave him all the money that he wanted .because they know that without him on the team they worth nothing .

[bering]

Arsenal vs AC Milan that basically Arsenal already stepped one of their foot to went to next round because they were already win 2-0 from first leg match but i think Milan will attempts to pushing the score with more attacking to play however Arsenal as host team will keep their chance to avoid conceded first so this match will so tight and regarding this match results i think under 2,5 goal is good

Without Messi, i shudder to think of what will happen to Barcelona because the team is so dependent on him even though they have a lot of high profile players in the time, I am now certain that they are going to win the trophy this season.

[wriizo]

Arsenal FC vs Milan is going to be an interesting game to watch most definitely. I personally as a fan of Arsenal see the Rossoneri winning with a goal difference, something like 1:2, either way both teams to score is the most secure thing to bet on.
