Yeah, bad night for us Liverpool and Barca supporters. The only difference I think that there was a good chance for Barca, but there were no true Liverpudlians who were certain we could pull through (me betting on them was purely from a value perspective, for example).

Like Trofo said, the cards in Atleti-Barca were a letdown considering the injuries extracted from the players. I'm still at risk of penalty (thinking also Liverpool could end up 0-0) so all my hopes tonight are on Bayern to make Real pay dearly for their efforts.

LTU_btc, slaman29: I know it means nothing, but you can at least be proud to take down one of the oldest records in Champions League: before tonight, Simeone has never lost a home game in knockout phase. Fifteen years down the drain, Diego. Hope you go on and make this shit final.

In my previous post i stated about avoiding the most probably prolific game in cards just because who was the referee and i was correct on it, in someway i ahte how Turpain works because he is not prone to show cards and he doesnt add so much minutes as extra time in games (despite the 8+ minutes of yesterday), but he tents to arbitrate in a very "english" way with less cards and carryiing the game in his hand and he do it good avoiding falling on showing cards.

About Liverpool we all expect to see them out but scoring 0 goals was not in my books.

Didn't wanted to to write anything yesterday after the game, so, I'll do it now with cold head. As much as Lenglet tried to help Barca with his awful mistakes, red card killed us again. Same like in 1st leg, same like last year with PSG. Though, I must admit that already maybe 15 minutes before the red card game wasn't going that good for us than we did in 1st half. Seems that for Barca it's much easier to win 38 games marathon than any knockout tournament.
Yeah, Simeone last first home game in knockout stage ever, but it still feels like a win.
And this result means that in final we will have team that never won CL before - it's Atletico and Arsenal or Sporting.

The way this Barca plays with totally attacking mindset and high defensive line plus super young players in the defense... It is too be expected. They are never boring to watch but there will be games where the opponent will capitalize on those weaknesses. Simeone and Atletico are the perfect example of how to pick on those problems and make Barca suffer. You can see lack of the experience throughout the team, Yamal will learn with time to not give press conferences with words that can make opponents even more more motivated. Also this last red card, come on, Sorloth is the one running away from you, use your head and just make up for the lost space. It isn't like Mbappe is running away from you  All those are small details, but combined, in the hands of manager like Simeone? I feel like Barca, gifted this one.

Too bad, I would have really liked to see Bayern - Barcelona game, have a feeling that one could have gone into double digits with goals

Absolute cinema in Munich, both teams are playing like there is no tomorrow. And at the same time someone is watching Arsenal - Sporting, what is difficult to call football. If you're not fan of one of these teams and still choose to watch, there is something wrong with you .

I agree with most things that you said. Problem that Simeone isn't only who is able to capitalize our weakness. We would have same problems against PSG, Bayern, Real or City. And yeah, I hope tht one day they will stop giving extra motivation for opponents in press conferences or complain about refs after the game.
Anyway, I hope that Flick will stay here as long as possible. IMO, he is best what we have since Enrique and I trust him completely.

Not sure where all the excitement's coming from. 5 goals, 3 of them insane goalkeeping errors.
An open game full of mistakes, from which all of them have been punished.

These teams usually do play some really good football, they played it on occasion today as well, but I feel like I'm watching a totally different game than most. For me this is absurd - I've seen 0-0 games with better football.

Damn this Bayern is one mean machine that is grinding all other teams!  
I dont see anyone can stop them winning the Champions League trophy this season, unless they have a really bad day or missing players.
Arsenal is in poor form, so I am expecting to see Bayern against Atletico Madrid in final match.



I think I won good amount of points this time, but I am not sure this will be enough to move move me on top positions.

I won my most points of the season today 40+ points, but it's still not enough for a yellow, and now there are technically just 5 matches left in total, I guess that's all she wrote for me this season

If there was ever a manager that has Barcelona completely figured out, it’s Simeone. Man has got a complete play book for Barcelona and his winning. Not to neglect how he allows his players to commit Barcelona to the point where, they are always red card and his got runners in the team to handle this side lines for a swift counter attack.

That’s about it though, the goals and the two last goals were created out of individual brilliance in the case of Olise and some team work in the case of Diaz. I hoped Real Madrid would have won but, for a game with such high tempo, where both teams are seeking out loopholes in the defense, a red card is one way to lose the game and Camavinga.

I was on track to get 24+ points in the Real Madrid game until Camavinga came on and ended up ruining the game for his teammates. Someone cannot be that dumb while on their first booking.

Was there a " no goal" market for Arsenal - Sporting game ? And is there any genius who took  the odds?

Atletico Madrid needs to do us a big favor and knock out Arsenal; I've never seen a team play this level of irritating football all my life, I can't wait to see them gone..

Another blank for me in this game week 
More penalties. I guess I am just going to predict the remaining matches just to wrap up the tournament and wait for next year. Honestly, I think this has been the worst for me despite trying to put in some effort.
