Not Manchester City? I thought Manchester City has a better chance than United. With Pep I think they expect to at least get to the semi-finals with this team or it would be a disappointment. At this point, you could say PSG and Manchester City are the two best teams in the world...at this point, not saying they are, just how they have looked so far.

Man City looks very good, but they also haven't really played much in the way of top competition either.

Their toughest games to date have been Everton, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Napoli. Everton and Liverpool have been really weird this year, and the Chelsea and Napoli games were very close and could have gone either way.

Give credit where its due though. Man City have crushed all the teams they're supposed to crush. They do look like one of the best in the world. I need to see more before crowning them to the level of Real Madrid, PSG, and Barca though.

I am going to start with the Celtic Byern game. Hoping Celtic can get a result at home, that would be cool to see. Always a great atmosphere at that park. Beyern will be without Lewy too.

Roma and Chelsea should be a game worth watching as well

Bayern sitting most all key players today. So far so good with Coman scoring.

Looking good for Roma today my favorite non-German team. Enjoying that and with Qarabag beating Atletico Madrid, if these results hold, Roma should move on.

Atletico Madrid missed a golden opportunity. They're likely gone

Roma spanking ass

@handicappers

On an off the pitch by all accounts. Roma Ultras reportedly attacked Chelsea supporters in a pub in Rome.

Looked like a great atomshere at the Stadio Olympico today:


And at Parkhead by Bayern fans:

While there could be some good games, it looks like the only marquee match ups are Napoli-ManCity and Spurs-Real Madrid.

3-1 Win for SPURS! Rather shocking considering how down they were the two prior games. Great to see.

So true. My German teams are tripping all over themselves. Dortmund ties a nobody today, and Leipzig in their first ever European run look again like the not ready for primetime players. At least Bayern is through and now have more time to settle the ship and have time with Jepp's system before the knockout rounds. By then, hopefully a few more of the injured players are back, aka Muller and maybe Neuer although I am not confident about that one. PSG game coming up soon is pretty much meaningless.

Yeah, looks like Dortmund (and Napoli) will be dropping to the Europa League. Both should be favorites to go far in that.

Just pray they don't run into Everton! (Who are lined up to get waxed by Lyon today for those scoring at home... Payton's Prediction? Lyon 3, Everton A BIG FAT FUCKIN' GOOSE EGG! )... :D

There, changed my avatar to match my feelings on the matter...

True that is possible. Atletico Madrid moving down there too? Arsenal still has to be a favorite also.

Some big matches today. If Bosz doesn't win today and/or vs Schalke he is a goner. Right now 1-1. Manchester City struggling against a stiff today, Liverpool trying to blow a 3-0 lead, but at least one of my German clubs is in form, Leipzig routing Monaco :)

Great success for Spurs, bouncing back today after a bad showing @ Arsenal earlier this week.

Spurs are a weird team. Seem to be a lot of ups and downs this year compared to the steady play last season.
