Lets not forget how bad Liverpool are away from home in Europe the last few years , Napoli , PSG, red star, Madrid (final) Roma, have all beaten them ,

Only wins where against Porto, Maribor and a domestic game v City ,

But their defence has been (largely) rock solid this season.

Here's oddschecker's tuppence worth:

For a 13/1 longshot, I’m backing the score after 90 minutes to be 0-0.

This is the only scoreline that can force extra-time and penalties, and Liverpool’s stuttering attack on the road – combined with their watertight defence – may force a repeat of what we saw at Anfield three weeks ago.

They have conceded 6 goals in 3 champions league away games, Not rock solid in Europe at all ,

Far from solid in Europe.

I don't think they will either, but if a more attacking Bayern approach suits Liverpool as you say, might holding out for another 0-0 and a penalty shootout offer their best hope of getting through the tie?

Bayern will fancy their chances at home to anyone. Liverpools back four have been changing a lot lately and they have been conceding in away European games quite a bit. A more regular/solid back 4 should be available tomorrow and they will need it. Still think liverpool will qualify through the away goal route. Bayern have got back on top in the Bundesliga having been 6 or 7 behind Dortmund but I still fancy us to go through, it's very delicately poised though and it will be interesting to watch the tactics change throughout the game.

I think City have an exceptional chance to win it this year with PSG, Real already out and Juve barely hanging on.

City are mentally suspect ,can see them doing a bottle job against a good side .

Lovely finish

FML, I had a tiny punt on City to lead at the 30 minute mark.

Cristiano looking stronger and fitter than ever, having passed his 34th birthday.

It's almost unbelievable Jeff!

Nothing to see here, move on.

Stop. Hadnt thought of that.

Got dammit. Had 20 quid @ 5/2 on City to win 3-0, 4-0 or 5-0. They just had to score 6 :mad:

The replay made it look like he clipped himself there, and I had thought it was a stonewaller.

The only shock is that it didn't happen in the first leg. Schalke wouldn't even give most of the Europa League sides a game now.

Surely backing over 3.5 would have been close in odds?

Simeone is turning into Will Ferrell.

Where is the Golden Miller? Bring him to me.

Holy fook. Imagine there was a certain cohort of people that claim that he didn't show up when it matters

Don't know. I knew it was gonna be a slaughter so I went for it but I didn't think it would be this bad FFS. Schalke are atrocious.

Berserker

Only caught the end of this but what a performance by Juventus and CR. Wouldn't bet against them going all the way in this.

Between City and Juve for the win.

I wouldn't trust City in a one off game TBH, too many lapses of concentration and one off fvck ups in big European games over the years. Maybe they will sort that aspect out, but conceding 2 to a poor Shalke in the first leg would suggest not.
Juve looked good. Very disappointed with Atleti, no ambition at all, no attacking threat. Defensively too, they were very vulnerable to the crosses, and this was badly exposed tonight. Juve made them lool really poor, they had a great cut to them (Juve) positively aggressive and fully deserved the win. Some new players there that looked good tonight.
I'm no fan of. Cristiano, but he really showed up tonight. He called out Atleti and their fans after the treatment he got during the first leg, it's one thing talking the talk, but in fairness tonight he walked the walk.

So far only Spurs and Man City carrying in a win to 2nd leg have got through. Mad.

So what you're saying is teams should lose the first leg,got it.

Have to disagree. Liverpool will score out there, and Bayern will have their work cut out to score twice against that defence.

KathleenGrant

Of course City are favourites but Schalke are 14th in Bundesliga. Wouldn't you expect anyone else to beat them?

I've no idea why City are favourites and have been for most of the season.
They have no European pedigree , and have won nothing in Europe.
Add to that their mental frailties and tendency to choke under pressure and its baffling how they are favourites.
I'd pick Barca and Juventus over them every day of the week.

Liverpool only scored once in 3 defeats out of 3 away in the competition this season, that said a score draw will do it for them here.
