The Sheikdown - CL QF 2nd legs

[Ray de Galles]

Here we are then, MCFC v PSG and Real v Wolfsburg.

Nobody can work out PSG's formation it seems.

Real Madrid have put one on top of the crossbar already. [strike]Scotland[/strike] Wolfsburg are creaking but not breaking just yet.

Christiano Ronaldo with the 1-0 after 15 minutes. That's way too early.

Two in a minute from CR, game over.

FFS, Wolfsburg, get it together.

[Borracho]

The Sheikdown - CL QF 2nd legs

Two pieces of shocking defending by Wolfsburg. First Naldo didn't clear a simple ball which reached Ronaldo, then Guilavogui loses him at a corner for number two.

This has every appearance of ending up about 5-0.

game over

I hope you were either being ironic, or trying to jinx Real. That makes it 2-2 on aggregate of course.

Wolfsburg look absolutely terrified.

Nah, I think Wolfsburg look like they could let in a bucketload. I'm sure Real might concede but they look good to outscore their opponents from here.

They actually had three chances in the minute they scored in, only a last ditch header stopped CR from scoring but he managed it from the resulting corner.

I love seeing herberts behind a goal photographing/filming their team miss a penalty on their phones.

I guess Trapp dove in the right direction, that might have factored in Aguero missing the PK.

Why do PSG have a german goalkeeper who has never played for the national team? and what is wrong with sirigu?

[linus]

The Sheikdown - CL QF 2nd legs

Good question TAB, I guess it was up to Blanc, and I disagree with that decision, Sirigu is the best Italian keeper right now. He is slated to leave the club this summer. The backup is going to be 23yo Alphonse Aréola, currently on loan to Villareal, he's supposedly done well there.

Jesus Navas couldn't finish his dinner.

[Tennis Borussia]

The Champions League final last year was won by a team widely considered the best in the world (by some margin) fielding a German keeper (throughout the competition) who had four Nationalelf appearances at that point, and who's just moved up to second choice (if that). Trapp is currently fourth choice.

to be honest, that's kind of standard of keeper that you'd expect barcelona to have.

[Taylor]

The Sheikdown - CL QF 2nd legs

Is Andre Schurrle the most Scottish-looking German of all time?

I still reckon Wolfsburg will score. And there's always the likelihood of Ramos taking someone out while last man (as he did in the first half - after the whistle had gone, alas), or you know, pulling his shorts down and waving his balls in the referee's face or something. An inadequate 3-1 is not out of the question.

Still: nightmare ticket of Drury and Savage on BT Showcase. The second half will have to be good to keep me from going and making my tea.

Absolutely. The ball-playing kind who ends up contributing to their many, many trophies. It's no coincidence that Ferguson tried to stymie Barcelona in a certain CL final by instructing his players to mark Barcelona's probable targets from Valdés kicks - not that it mattered much after the first goal went in.

The Sheikdown - CL QF 2nd legs

Man City v PSG is just a shockingly poor quality match, every single minute of play seems to produce the most basic of errors.

[Ray de Galles]

The Sheikdown - CL QF 2nd legs

It's raining goals, both ties 3-2 now.

[linus]

KdB scores, City will go though, tentative defending by PSG.

Complete joke if PSG can't get through here.

Real Madrid are cruising through.

The Wolfsburg wall for the free kick was probably the most pathetic wall in the history of walls.
