It's a Champions League Knockout!

[Toby Gymshorts]

Crap Energy Drink aside, they play some very good football do Leipzig. A lovely, flowing move should have had them 2 up but the shot was straight at Lloris.

[Diable Rouge]

And now four to the "other" Nerazzuri.

[ursus arctos]

Atalanta 4 (FOUR) Valencia 0

[Gangster Octopus]

So however is co-commentating on the Atalanta match has already forgotten Barcelona-PSG from the other year.

[anton pulisov]

València could have four themselves

[ursus arctos]

Yes, but la Dea could have eight

It is as if neither club understands CL knockout culture

[Diable Rouge]

And one pulled back while I was watching the Spurs game.

[Third rate Leszno]

Terrific entertainment in that Atalanta v Valencia game - the latter missed so many chances to get back into it. Can't help feeling it's not over if it's as open as that in the second leg.

Any dislike I have of football journalists is melting away listening to Mourinho's press conference, getting anything from the various cheek blowing and shrugs must be a nightmare.

[Janik]

Less dislikeable than Jose Mourinho must be the faintest praise it's possible to give.

[Lang Spoon]

Like chlamydia versus Syph.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

What's the catch with Atalanta? Is their owner a puppy strangler? I enjoyed that game last night immensely.

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

Crap Energy Drink aside, they play some very good football do Leipzig. A lovely, flowing move should have had them 2 up but the shot was straight at Lloris.

Every interview anyone does with Timo Werner seems to begin with "so when's your medical at Anfield?". It'll be a huge anticlimax if Klopp doesn't sign him now.

[ursus arctos]

Perhaps surprisingly to some, this doesn't happen when he is interviewed in German.

[Diable Rouge]

And we're back in the room.

[anton pulisov]

Haha what a sucker punch

Barcelona all over Napoli but can't get through the catenaccio. They have one rare three on three counter and Messi makes a total hash of it.

Then Napoli also get their own three on three and Mertens breaks the net. It was the first time they left their own half since I tuned in

[ursus arctos]

This is Gattuso's idea of perfect football

[anton pulisov]

Vidal just got himself a double yellow card. One for the tackle and a second for being an arse about it.

[Lang Spoon]

I'm enjoying this new shite Barca Despite myself.

[Ray de Galles]

Chelsea comprehensively outplayed and beaten by Bayern who never really had to lift themselves past cruising mode. Gnabry will probably grab all the headlines but Alphonso Davies was astoundingly good.

Chelsea are a poor excuse for a CL team, especially one in the knockout stages.

[ursus arctos]

You have unconventional tastes, Spoony

[Lang Spoon]

I'm enjoying them being a bit shite, despite once following them, is what I meant to say. Cos I'm a contrary wee Bas. And a bad part of me wishes pijo Catalans all kinds of bad luck.

[ursus arctos]

You should have seen the early 80s teams

Proper shitehouse bastards.

[Lang Spoon]

It's this kind of karma deficient thinking on my part that will no doubt stop Scottish independence forever. Cos it's all my fault for Joanna Cherry and Alex fuckin Salmond. Cos Fifers can't have nice things.

[Lang Spoon]

Proper shitehouse bastards.

I've seen Jock Wallace Rangers teams in the flesh, doubt ive anything to be scared of.
