    Love this for Wolfsburg. I still think they will be eliminated, sadly, but they really put everything into it tonight - Vierinha was amazing. They do have quality players...Draxler, Schuerrle are world champions, after all ;). I'm just afraid that Real has too much firepower at home...and my old buddy Dante is unfortunately always a bit of a risk back there...

    City with 2 away goals at PSG.

    Getting to the semis during this **** season would be nice.

    I'd still bet on PSG advancing. But it's 50/50 now.

    Bayern
    Barca
    PSG
    Real

    But it's entertaining - all ties are still close enough that it could go either way.

    De Bruyne is a special player. If he's on the pitch they have a chance.

    Yes, agreed. Still mad that Bayern didn't grab him.

    Dortmund-Liverpool starting in 5min, hopefully the game is up to the hype.

    Didn't see this posted but it was quite moving.
    From Barca and the legends that played for Johan.

    Fantastic tribute! There's also the English version with subtitles.

    Bayern with an important win over Stuttgart. If Dortmund loses to Schalke tomorrow, the first title is booked.

    I'm a little worried about our offense. Ribéry is the only one to cause damage right now. Lewandowski and Müller are both struggling big time. At least Douglas Costa scored, hope that brings him back on track.

    7pts now, Tuchel seems to focus on EL and played with a b-unit.

    Agree, the offense is really uninspired atm and multiple guys seem to be in a slump. Hope we either implement Götze in a better way next season or buy another central midfielder.

    2:0, but the match has become more even after 20min. Hope Wolfsburg scores somehow.

    Henrique has to make that one. You don't get many chances like that. That was a 100%er.

    I suspect they will get blitzed again, and then they will fall apart.

    Of course I hope they score one due to Real's arrogance...that would just be beautiful.

    I saw no urgency from Wolsfburg at the end.. I mean all you need is 1 goal like send everyone up top but nah seems they were ok with "we tried"

    We'll see how we do tmrw... our team picked the worst time to go on a slump

    Agreed - it was not enough. The ones I saw trying hard were Gustavo and Schuerrle - too many of the others just didn't bring it.

    Wolfsburg kinda lost that one in the first leg, when they missed the opportunity to make it 3:0. It was kinda obvious they wouldn't keep Real from scoring at Bernabeu. Third goal was a shame. No way this free kick should pass the wall.
