I guess everyone is underrating Madrid. C'mon mates. Madrid isn't such bad team. Well, they may not qualify since the equation isn't so easy but I guess they will win. I will be risking my money on Madrid certainly.

I am supporting City tonight because want Pep to have CL at least this season. I think Madrid also have good chance. Reason is city don't have the best defending and always break down in counter attacking and we have seen how Madrid could score goals in counter attack. They have players with good pace and strength to score goals. Pep knows where they are weak at so I think he is gonna have some strategy in mind today.

Juventus have to work hard in this match versus Lyon because they were 1 goal behind in the first leg. If Juventus want to qualify for the next round then they have to win the match 2-0 which mean they have to attack and defend well.
Ronaldo is a man who is very enthusiastic, he will work hard to maximize the end result. But without the support and contribution of all the other player, the result might not be good for Juventus. Lyon might surprise them again and it is still possible in football.

 Ronaldo has no motivation right now. He became the champion of italy, he will not win the Champions League, the golden ball is not given this year. Better than Dybala instead of him in the starting lineup.

Ohh Yes!! Champions League night after so many moths. I am too much excited for tonight. Hope my favorite team Real Madrid can pass Man City. Though it's too hard but nothing is impossible. Still has a chance for the next round. Just need 2 goals from RM.

My prediction tonight:
Juventus vs Lyon - Juventus
Manchester City vs Real Madrid - Real Madrid

Note: my prediction can be wrong and also biased for the RM match 

[cryptofrka]

Depay just scored from the penalty kick, Lyon is 1-0 up in Turin. Juventus now needs 3 goals to go through and Lyon is becoming a big favorite to qualify to the quarterfinals.

City also took the lead against Real and increased their already good position. A dream start for people who played both to score - I know some of you mentioned it.

[Josefjix]

I'm too young to fall in love with Sarri and his stupid formations. How does he want to win a tensed match as this with Dybala sitting on the bench?

[coinlocket$]

if this is penalty... can't tell if anything else has happened

This started bad for Juventus.
Lyon scored first goal and now they have big advantage, but hat is more serious is that Juventus is not playing good as they have zero shots at goal so far  

Manchester City is 1:1 with Real and I would be happy if it ends like this but I think there will be more goals

EDIT:
Nice, one bet won: C. Ronaldo scored 
Let's go!

Juve currently losing and they are in a very difficult situation.
The French team did not play for a very long time and I thought it would be a handicap for them, but they are doing well.
Manchester and Real, everything is completely open and uncertain.
Real's defense seems very insecure to me.

[LTU_btc]

Halftime in both stadiums and result is same - 1:1
I really don't understand first penalty in Juve - Lyon game, IMO referee made mistake. I'm not sure how they can give such penalties even with VAR. Second penalty is also questionable I think.
Juve still need 2 goals. If they will continue to play like last 10-15 minutes, it's difficult, but possible.
And City - Real is very good game to watch so far.

[Avirunes]

Real's defense seems very insecure to me.

Seems so without Sergio Ramos. Lots of errors in defense area and City is really able to find some spaces through them. Varane really handed that badly that lead to first goal for City. Also it was good pressure from City players as well, cornering everyone out and Jesus did good to win the ball from Varane and play it to Sterling for score.

For Real , Benzema is the only one that seems to be doing well in attacking area. He is finding positions to score and doing good so far. Loving the way Benzema is playing this season.

What's happening in Turin? Ref distributing freebies! It's no longer the defender's game. Both penalties were disgusting. I have bets on 1-1 and 2-2 as final score. Let see if I can win some big today.

While in Manchester, Real Madrid somehow brought the equalizer. They are looking very less threatening in attack. Just one spell of good chances and Benzama converted one of them. Rodrygo really did well in assisting that one. But Man City is completely in control. They are better side for me in first 45 minutes. Let see if Real can turn back this one. Man City needs one more to seal my profit.

at the moment, both matches are on 2:1 for home team, which secures City in the next round, but Juventus need one more from Ronaldo to secure their spot, ten minutes left

Last 5 minutes and City is leading 2-1 vs Real Madrid so I assume it is over in this game.
For Juventus and Lyon still 2 - 1, any surprise maybe in the last minute?

City won and now in quarterfinal but Old Lady is also out as Lyon advance in next round through away goal sad end for Old Lady and Ronaldo now they have to live with only Serie A trophy nothing else.

[webtricks]

I am just thinking over what would have been the result if both penalties weren't given!!

Had the hope for Real Madrid till last moment but could not open the net. I don't understand was Varane nervous in this big stage without Ramose? RM conceded both goals for his own fault. Don't expect these childish mistakes from a world cup winner defender.
But hat's off to Man City. They deserve this win and maybe deserve the UCL too. They got almost all speed star on their team. So much pressing.

[Fatemablabla]

Simple, without those penalties the score would 1-1 for both. And there has been  tiebreaker to decide the winner.

[tomahawk9]

this has to be Juventus worst night in europe since idk when but it has to be among the biggest upsets

Juventus and my Real Madrid KO'd from the CL in the same night  

tomorrow, Napoli to Qualify and Bayern to WIN? sounds like a good ticket for a parlay, no?

[LTU_btc]

Sarri out? He got a lot criticism during season and now he weren't able to beat team which basically haven't played competetive football since March. Juve had ball posession and more chances, but they didn't played good football.
City - Real. It was really good game but awful Varane mistake killed Real and answered all questions.
