Ho Lee Shit guys   Barcelona are out! Damn the odds on Roma -2.5 were astronomical haha. If someone picked that big congrats to you   It's funny that Barcelona got the completely opposite treatment from last season's CL. Just goes to show that karma is a bitch sometimes lol. And another fun fact is that Coutinho moved over to Barceona and now they are out while Liverpool go on to the next round. Hilarious

Awful Barca, amazing Roma. Tonight Barca played like they are already in semifinal. No ball posession, no dangerous attacks. While Roma played amazing with passion tonigh and made history. They showed who deserves to play in semifinal. Barca eliminated in UCL quarterfinal 4th time in last 5 years... Yes, Barca will win La Liga, Copa but this season will be remembered due to shameful defeat in quarterfinal.
And it's interesting how Coutinho are feeling now... :/ Congratulations to Liverpool and Klopp who again won his rivalry with Guardiola.

I guess no one expected things to turn out like this for Barcelona. So we have our semi finalists now.
Real Madrid, AS Roma, Liverpool and Bayern Munich!

After watching watching tonight match we can again say that everything can happen in football and I think it's too early to say that we already have 4 semifinalists.

Barcelona getting eliminated after a 4-1 result at home, by freaking Roma...wow! that's gotta be one of the biggest failures for the club in a very long time. Seriously, a team like Barcelona can't blow a 4-1 lead against the 4th team in the Serie A, that's beyond embarrassing, they have Messi, Suarez, Pique, Umtiti, Iniesta, Ter Stegen, etc...c'mon now.

Btw, did you guys know that every time (since Messi official debut) Barcelona has been KO'd from the CL, the argentinian failed to score in both home game and away game? Messi-dependency at its best.

About the other match, and I was told that Manchester City was the best team in Europe this season and that they were the big favorites to win the CL....LOL failed to even reach the top 4. I'm expecting Guardiola to resign at the end of the season, the Cityzens made such a big investment over the last two seasons, brought the "best" manager in the world and every single player that he wanted...just to win the Premier League? no, the main objective was the Champions League, if you fail to even reach the final, you must go.

Also, Coutinho, poor guy is gonna watch his former team win the champions league, isn't he?

congrats to Roma for making the impossible happens. They outperformed themselves in this game they had a simple plan to apply and they have been successful in applying it they played physically well and invidualy marked Suarez and Messi made the Spanish team have no threat for the Brazilian Goalkeeper Alisson.
I think Barcelona have underestimated the game and they thought that it was over from first leg and they played this game as they have already got to the next stage but they only felt the threat when it was too late that was after Di Rossi scored the second and Valverde took much of the time to make changes to bring back the team on track.

We are witness of the biggest surprise from years
Barca was playing nothingn
Will be Roma-final
Tomorrow i count on Sevilla however Klopp-Bayern sweet revange can be fascinating

[vella85]

That was a surprise Barca not making it through to the semi-final but Roma wanted the win more then them and now have a real shot at making the CL final. Liverpool also upset Man City at home which wasn't really a surprise to me as Liverpool have been in good form while Man City have dropped off in recent weeks. At least I got my bet for both teams to score.

[cengsuwuei]

As roma is surprise can win meet barcelona with much goal 3-0
my prediction final match can meet real madrid - bayern munchen, liverpool can surprise, whatever team meet liverpol in semi final still chance can win

[green_fish]

The same astonishing reversal, also reminds me of 6:1 reversed greater Barcelona last year, the difference is that last year, Barcelona's reversal, has caused great controversy ( the earth the person all know )what is going on, Rome today reversal, is open, self-respect!

[wriizo]

Did anyone even expect Roma to win against Barcelona? Dead honest I'm a little bit in a shock, how in the world of football a team from Italy can beat the scary Barcelona. Really weird stuff, if someone placed a bet on Roma to win, hat off to you Sir. Manchester City versus Liverpool was kind of expected to be honest. Liverpool plaid the first half pretty bad if I'm being honest, but the second half, went in no ifs and buts about it, dominated throughout the half. Definitely Roma fans do not get offended, I'm not saying they are a weak team, but its just weird, honestly I really hope they play like that and go to the final.

[dado7]

I really expected Liverpool might be more in danger then Barcelona. I also did expect Liverpool to score at least once and hence secure the passage to semi-finals. That first goal was amazing.

However, what I didn't expect was for Barcelona to make a harakiri. They played like they already won and didn't even try to score. Yet they settled for playing some defense, which they don't know how to play (most of the goals they concede shouldn't even be considered serious for a professional football), without even making their trademark pressing, leaving Roma to drag the ball easily to dangerous area - either for a shot from the edge of the penalty box or for the cross, while Barcelona really cannot compete with Roma with headers, last 20 minutes showed that really clearly.

I am not sure what they thought, but after Roma's second goal it was quite obvious that Barca will concede another one if they don't change their approach. And they didn't. Hence nothing miraculous there in second half.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

I think these two teams (Roma and liverpool) are the teams that will not qualify for the Semi-finals, but everything is will happening in the world of football. After the first half of Roma in the 4-1 chain and now Roma comeback and scored 3 goals so the score becomes 4-4 and Roma qualify for the next round. Good bye Barcelona, Lionel Messi will cry after this game.

And the second team is liverpool, in the first leg I bet for Man City but what happened surprisingly Liverpool were able to slaughter with a score of 3-0 and the second leg at Etihad Stadium last night made me lose for the second time, liverpool win 1- 2 and liverpool are entitled to the Semi-Final round.

[tokeweed]

It's funny how everyone pretends to follow the CL closely but I haven't seen any arguments about Leroy Sane's goal that was flagged as 'off side' by the lines man...

Anyway, congrats to Liverpool.  It's at least nice to see one EPL club in the semis.  

[btcdevil]

As always Barcelona gave a surprise to their audience and this time it is loosing the game. It clearly proves that they are the no.1 fixer team who are playing only for the fixers only. Mostly i think in the final we can see Real madrid vs Liverpool, if this team dont mean in semi final

[buwaytress]

I was just discussing last night before the game, that a nice dream would be for Pool to progress and reunite temporarily with Barca either in the semis or who knows, all the way to the game in Kiev. But it was definitely not to be. I was too consumed by the game even when leading 2-1, I was half expecting 2 or 3 goals to still creep into the net but I've never seen Lovren so solid (please don't get jinxed, dude).

It was only after the game ended and commentary switched to Rome that I realised Messi and co were dumped out!

I honestly can't remember when quarterfinals were this exciting (though of course having pool in it ups the excitement for me). Who would have though Italy could still be represented in the SF when both Juve and Roma had 3 goal deficits? So now Italy and England await tonight to see who makes it. Two major upsets... Roma was over 20 to progress. I made a sweet 6.4 on Liverpool to win, but imagine a parlay with Roma!

It was a major talking point by all the commentators, but they roundly agreed - as did Pep himself, that they deserved to get knocked out by the way they played both 2nd halves. I'm a pool fan, and that was a goal for sure. I won't even comment about the first goal when Sterling fouled DVD leading up to the goal. van Dijk should know better than to look to the ref for a whistle. I just can't abide by players who look for fouls.

There have been many surprises at UCL lately. This is the quarter-finals but many goals have been created while the teams involved in this round are considered as the best. Let's see if there will be another surprise or not tonight.

Regarding the bold part.
I am from Croatia, same as Lovren and I have watched him play many times for different clubs and national team. Best description I have ever read regarding his football proves went something like this:

Dejan Lovren is like waiter on speed/cocaine. He is your best worker for 3 days and then on 4th day he doesn't show up for work.

[tumis]

Barcelona will win this Champions League but i think this odds for Roma is little Horrible. I will try put small stakes for them.

Roma is one of the few teams that is able to surprise  the barcelona and shoot them many goals. Of course, the two-match will win the barcelona, but today for course 14 it is a gift for me to play the rome.

Barcelona will take it because Roma is crap. They are without one of their star players in today's match up.
Why did they trade Mo Salah last year again?
Just horrible management if they didn't get anything for him during that trade.

YYY

So I managed to predict it well! Roma is the only team that is able to score a few goals in the barcelona and it's still there.

Maybe not in the first match where I was slightly surprised by the result, but in the second one it was. So I correctly predicted and felt that ROMA could mix up.

And the ODDs was really good. Playing a handicap on a rock -1.5 we would win x10!

Let me be honest. I predicted Barcelona to win the Champions League while ROMA turned out to be the worst possible for them.
Barcelona yesterday was a joke. I had an impression that they do NOT want to win it...

I don’t give a damn if it was offside or not, we’re into the semi finals. City had 3 or 4 shots on target in both games combined

Who wants to face the mighty LFC now? I’m not afraid of anybody, sure you need a lot of luck to win the CL but I think we have a good a chance as anybody. I will have two tickets for the Anfield leg of the semi. I’ve booked a hotel in Kiev for the final today (it has free cancellation so if we go out I can cancel it).

I have to be there if we make it, I just have to. It could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Mo Salah is a machine.

Fun fact is Suarez, Sterling & Coutinho all went out on the same night
All 3 left Liverpool hoping for bigger things (Suarez has done well I admit that)

Anything can happen in this season’s CL now, I genuinely do not know who will become champions on May 26. Real Madrid are slight favourites due to their experience in the competition but who would bet against Liverpool? Look at Roma & what they did to Barcelona. Bayern have been there & done it before.

It will be very exciting, the semi final draw is on Friday.

We can't deny Real Madrid is a beast in the UEFA Champions League. It is indeed they are sure favorited partly because in the last 2 year they take home the championship and if they did it again in these years that will make them win the championship third times in a row. So, I believe the psychological motivation is strong for Real Madrid.
