Cristiano Ronaldo says his Real Madrid teammates not at his level after defeat

 

[bksballer89]

I'm saying the EPL is better than Serie A

Best in soccer.

Huge game in Germany today. Bayern vs Dortmund.

Bayern leads Dortmund by 5 points. A Dortmund win will make the last 2 months of the season very interesting

Spurs are going to have a tough game against Dortmund...

They are indeed. Should make for some good games though.

Ugh, Dortmund absolutely beating that ass. Guess that's what'll happen when you start your B-team vs a superior side.

Barcelona drawn against Atletico, PSG face Manchester City

PSG/Man looks like a great matchup

PSG/Man looks like a great matchup

Atletico can beat Barca. They have the defense to do it. I could see this being decided in a PK shootout

Real & Bayern should walk to the semis.

I don't see anyone stopping them at this point but I agree Atletico may be the best bet because Bayerns defense is horrid

I feel like the fix is in anytime Atletico plays Barca. For the 2nd time this year, Atletico went up 1-0 on the road in Barca then the refs got involved and gave a red to a player on Atletico and Barca went on to take over once they had the man advantage.

 

[bksballer89]

Atletico just needs to survive these final 12-15 minutes and hope they can pull out a 1-0 or 2-1 victory at home

 

[bksballer89]

Kind of shocking to see Bayern only up 1-0 on Benfica at home

 

[HammerDown]

Keylor Navas went 738 minutes of UCL play without giving up a goal (2nd-longest UCL streak). He gave up 2 to Wolfsburg in a 7-minute span.

Got some real interesting return legs next week with Madrid losing 2-0 and City drawing with PSG away from home

 

[handicappers]

Madrid will likely win big next week.
City will lose at home.
Barca and Bayern advance as well.

4 best teams will likely be in semi's

My predictions are the following.

Madrid win 3-1 (Wolfsburg advance on away goals)

Bayern win 2-0

Atletico wins 1-0 (advances on away goals)

PSG wins 2-1

 

[bksballer89]

Madrid is the most intriguing match-up to me because if Wolfsburg score early it puts a shit load of pressure on them because they would need to win by 3 or more goals in that case to advance.

Bayern win 2-0

Atletico wins 1-0 (advances on away goals)

PSG wins 2-1

So Barca and Madrid both out of semis? That would be a nice change of scenery.
