    Great to see Pep is playing 5 attackers and 5 defenders vs the top scoring side in Europe. Who needs a midfield?

    He's a stubborn b*stard eh?

    Glad he left Bayern, this guy will never learn.

    Will probably blame it on the roster now and demand 200mil for transfers from the owner.

    LOL Pep's mercenaries are indeed out.

    Too bad Leverkusen once again screwed themselves. Could've taken at least a 3-3 out of the first leg, then tonight's match would've been a lot more interesting. They had all the weapons to hurt Atlético but didn't use them.

    Qualified for the Quarter Finals:

    Leicester City
    Bayern München
    Borussia Dortmund
    Juventus
    Barcelona
    Real Madrid
    Atlético Madrid
    Monaco

    Draw will be held on Friday. No restrictions, anything goes. No Madrid trip for Bayern and I'm fine. Hoping for fresh matchups like Barca vs Dortmund or Juventus vs Atlético.

    What are the odds that Bayern will face one of 3 Spanish teams?

    A greater one

    Atletico - Leicester
    Dortmund - Monaco
    Bayern - Real
    Juventus - Barcelona

    I'm okay with the draw, would rather face Real than Barca.

    Winner predictions: Atletico, Monaco, Bayern, Barcelona.

    Btw: Could also go the 2013 route with a Bayern-Dortmund final and us netting the Triple. :cool:

    Not my ideal draw, but could've been worse. No national teams against each other is the best news. Ancelotti versus Real will be real interesting, looking forward to it.

    Predictions: Atlético, Dortmund, Bayern, Juventus

    I root for Leicester, Juve in CL and Schalke, Lyon and Genk in the Euroleague Cup.

    You can't go wrong with a coach named Shakespeare.

    Might the best win in the other games.

    Monaco, Anderlecht are dangerous.

    On a side note: Leipzig's Timo Werner has become a national player.

    Wenger is done

    In all honesty he was done about 5-6 years back

    Always happy with 4th place and 2nd round Champions League Exits

    It's almost comical at this point, have fun with the guy.

    "I am pretty convinced that the second half showed me in the game in Monaco that when you attack more and you play more aggressive you concede few.

    "When you are more [passive] you concede more. I learned that again. The influence of that game showed me again I am more convinced about what I want to do.“

    Think I'll be pulling for Dortmund the rest of the way. I'd love to see Pulisic continue to get moments on the biggest stage.

    Reports from today stating he'll stay, don't know how he doesn't see he's past his time with Arsenal.

    Schweinsteiger joining Chicago, the ManU fans are absolutely hammering the club and Mourinho on Social Media.

    Btw, Bayern II coach Heiko Vogel has stepped down as coach today. It's crazy how that one relegation match blunder from Lukas Raeder single-handedly destroyed the near future of our 2nd team.
