As an Arsenal fan, I'm naturally looking forward to Bayern the most, though I am concerned with our most recent slip in results. Man City Vs Barcelona will be a cracker though as well.

Man City vs Barcelona will probably depend on how well City attack, and how well Barca defend at the Etihad. The first leg is imo pivotal in this tie as at the Etihad this season, City have been extremely dominant, especially going forward. I doubt Barca will try to play too offensively - perhaps they'll rely on counterattacks to get a few away goals, though I think their main focus would be to shut City down. That would make it much easier for them going into the second leg. :/ It'll be a challenge for Barca though, given that defense isn't necessarily their strongpoint.

Oh, well, that was all for city I guess. No wonder no one likes Demichelis.

We barely played this game in full gear still pulled a 2-0 off. Felt sorry for Demichelis, it was a red, but the PK was questionable call. Pique goal was onside tho, which was disallowed. I'm a bit disappointed with Pelle, he should've known to take the game to us in away games in the CL ever since Pep era we only won 2 away games out of 15-17 games in CL KO stages (this is the third), but he failed to do that this time and shocking City seemed better with 10 players then 11.

Vincent Kompany: "Barcelona weren't superior to us"
Roy Keane: "He's obviously tired. I'm not sure he knows what he's talking about." LOL

Its been a while i was this proud to be a barcelona fan! Viva la barca!

Great game by barcelona, i loved the timing of the win after mourinho recent comments saying this current barca squad is the worst in years, and we also showed that we are still a force to be reckoned with. That was a pure red card everyone can agree to that, the penalty debatable but a foul none the less, this is a dream result to take back to the nou camp. Also against Leverkusen, P.S.G ran out 4-0 winners and came out on top, although this result doesn't come a surprise seeing as psg were the obvious favorites from start, also ibrahimovic scored two goals going past ronaldo in the scoring charts and being the current ucl top goal scorer so grats to him in that regards.

Our full backs were brilliant along side our goal keeper valdes who i think was one of our main players in the match, our back-line did well so congratz to them and being a barca fan its not every-time you can say that, i hope barcelona doesn't get complacent in the return leg at the nou camp as seen against bayern teams who can score and have quality players can punish us and humiliate us whether home or away.

Another great night of champions league football and more luck to the away sides similar to yesterdays result, first of all i will dive into the arsenal game which was pretty even or i dare say going arsenal way until the penalty miss by ozil, the miss turned down the tempo in the stadium creating room for tension and frustration to set in which was further aggravated by the Szczęsny being red-carded and sent off for fouling robin in the box which awarded bayern munich the penalty to which alaba squandered away, although it was a far more mature and professional penalty take compared to ozil lackluster and mediocre kick minutes earlier to which neur saved it. The second half was were the damage was done thanks to a brilliant goal from kroos and a late goal from muller coming in the final minutes of the game. Now we asks ourselves is the road over for arsenal yet? Can they pull up an upset in munich like they did last year? In all honesty i want to believe that, i do but this current bayern team have learnt their mistakes from last season and most importantly from the game against city and they are also not a side known for conceding goals so all in all i give arsenal a 10 percent of going through and a 15 percent chance of winning at their allianz arena. Its a sad day for English football but a good day for the germans.

The match at the san siro was a tight matched affair with milan being the better side in the first 45, then atletico being the better side in the final 45. Some wasted chances by kaka but all in all i felt milan deserved atleast a point and to concede a goal in the final minutes of the game is always demoralizing and play a toll on the players, coupled with the fact that balotelli seemed to have had his shoulder injured, which hopefully isn't serious, milan chances are not looking good but they still have a shot despite atletico being good at home this season we have seen that when teams attack with full intensity like what madrid did against them in the copa del rey semi final, that they are vulnerable so lets wait patiently and see.

 

[-God of War-]

Really happy to see Bayern winning against Arsenal, again. It wasn't easy at all.

I don't understand why Bayern always have a bad luck when they play against an english team in their own stadium.
Lost against Chelsea(final 2012), against Arsenal (0-2 in the return leg) against Man.City (2-3 in the group stage)...All of these games, all lost in the Allianz Arena.
I hope nothing wrong happens this time...

Manchester united first XI:

De Gea; Smalling, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Cleverley, Young; Rooney, van Persie.
