Champions League: Juventus vs. Celtic, PSG vs. Valencia
PSG 2-1 Valencia: PSG gave impressed in the first leg with a 2-1 away win, implying there just might be a team amidst the exorbitant player collection. The win was soiled partially though. They conceded a goal, giving Valencia some life heading into the away leg. Zlatan Ibrahimovic also got himself suspended with a dumb red card. The Zlatan will miss out, but one star who might appear is David Beckham. He’s a grizzled 37 and a well regarded underwear billboard. He does not like people messing with his hair. Beckham will start on the bench, but he does have a flair for the dramatic.
Juventus 3-0 Celtic: Celtic came out with spirit in the first leg. Juventus crushed it with classic Italian cynicism. Their three away goals all but ended this on the spot. Celtic would need a 3-0 away win, against one of the best defensive and best disciplined sides in Europe, just to send this to penalties. Such a turn around would be shades of the 2005 Champions League Final, which also featured Andrea Pirlo. Juventus will rest players, notably their three players one booking away from suspension.

I hate that they now drag these rounds out over weeks….need to cut the field in half for this tourney/league….and no loser’s bracket entry into Euro league either….
While we are at it, cut domestic leagues to 16-18 teams as well. And cut mid-season international friendlies in half if you can’t do away with them altogether.
Just way too many games being played imo….cuts into the quality of the game and the careers of the top players….

Munich-Madrid Final would be good TV. Barca is cooked. Juve is looking like the most likely candidate to take out the Germans or Spaniards though.

After yesterday’s horrific injustice I am left rooting for Dortmund as I find them to be the msot enjoyable to watch.

Also can’t wait for the Malaga-Porto winner to draw the Galatasaray-Schalke winner in the quarters, thereby ensuring that at least one semifinal slot will go to a completely undeserving and overmatched side.

Big Juve believer. Also, don’t sleep on Dortmund.

I don’t see Arsenal making the semis.

You take that back. Porto has as good of a shot as anyone. I’d be willing to bet Porto have been among the better teams in euro play in the past decade, maybe they are overachieving but they’re usually in the mix.

Starting to think Celtic might not pull this off.

I said “undeserving and overmatched” not “hilariously inept”.

Nice defending from Alex, but man what a strike.
March 6th, 2013 at 4:15 PM
So a likely final 8 of
Madrid
Dortmund
Juve
PSG
AC Milan
BM
Poro
and Galatarsay?
I like the Munich / Madrid final out of that. RM / Dortmund wouldn’t suck either.

Schalke are in control of that tie at the moment, that will be one of the best games next week though.
