2017/18 UEFA Champions League

Imagine if there was no diving in the Champion's League? Imagine if it was just football instead.

Really enjoying the Chelsea game. The last 16 this season probably has the most quality fixtures ever in one season.

Barca there for the taking.

Big whoop! He's hit the outside of both posts. They're not shots on target and would have been undeserved.

random post.....................

I think it is a huge talking point and very unlucky for a player to hit the post TWICE in the first half against Barcelona in a Champions League knockout game, and they were two fine efforts also.

Mr.Nice Guy

Chelsea are doing well. Willian has been the game's most influential player. Also won a free-kick in a dangerous area that got Rakitic booked.

Turtwig

Chelsea probably deserve to be ahead. Neither side have had clear cut chances. Very much evenly balanced. Huge effort by both sides.

I don't agree with this. You are talking about inchs there he was really unlucky.

Paulinho had best chance of the half early on, should have scored.

Also how would they have been undeserved if they went in, which would hav meant they were on target..........

Talking in riddles!!

Has Saurez lost a bit of pace I thought he used to be quicker

Strange tactics by Chelsea, do they think they are going to Barcelona to win. Tonight is their chance and all they are doing is sitting deep.

Mr.Nice Guy

Lewandowski doing a Willian and hitting the post.

Coman makes it 2-0 shortly after. Besiktas in big trouble.

Messi has been very poor so far.. not half the player he used to be..

Mr.Nice Guy

WILLIANNNNN

Well deserved goal

jamescd

Great finish

KERSPLAT!

Lovely bend on that

sligeach

Poor from Barcelona. They should know by now Willian always wants it on his right foot. They were warned.

Dev84

No english lads playing for chelsea tonight. Not sure if that was mentioned already.

Barr

Chelsea should go for the jugular now , for all Barca possession no real threat.

Mr.Nice Guy

3-0 Bayern. Muller with his second.

MisterAnarchy

That goal might wake Barcelona up, they have been rubbish tonight.
Only one goal in last five away champions league games, not good enough.

Rezident

Amazing that not one player marked Willian - even after he'd hit the post twice! Nobody even near him, they just don't have a defensive mentality, they can't do it.

And Busquets - surely the most overrated "defensive" midfielder in history - I've never seen him block a shot in his life - he'd be afraid of getting hurt.

Harry Palmr

Worst Barcelona side in years.

jamescd

I think 1 more for Chelsea would make it a very interesting 2nd leg. Barcelona are well capable of overturning a 2 goal deficit, especially at home, but putting past 3 against a Chelsea side that just needs to defend wouldn't be easy.

1 - 0 wouldn't be enough imo

Edit: Just as I say that, Barca score.

Fromvert

Be a great result for Chelsea if they keep Barca out now. Would be confident in them getting enough chances in the return leg to grab an away goal.

Suicidal defending to give the best player on the pitch that chance

"Poor barca team" lol

Fromvert

Brutal from Chelsea at the back. Just giving it to them.

~Rebel~

His first goal against Chelsea in 9 games. Had a feeling he'd nab it at last tonight alright.

elefant

The absolute state of Willian. You'd swear he'd been hit with a rock the way he's moping about.

He has been finding space and getting on the ball all game. One chance and in the net. What do you want from him?

4th for Bayern joining City & Liverpool in the quarters.

You basing that on a random 70 mins of football tonight or them being on track for the highest la liga points total in history?

He was moping because he got asked to get off and sort out his nose, but he wants to just keep playing....

Iniesta and messi can still shift up a few gears when they like. Delighted
