European Leagues.

Eventful night for Messi so far, from a wonder strike to a missed penalty.

Pirlo bound to be under pressure now especially given their league position??

That was the best game of soccer I have watched in quite a while. The pace and skill and commitment was outstanding and it makes the PL look like a second rate competition.

Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea will all likely knock Porto out if drawn against them in the Quarter finals.

I'm sure Juventus thought all they had to do was turn up when paired with Porto.

Under a rookie in Pirlo that's likely. Klopp, Guardiola, Tuchel will have their sides well tuned in.

Is the premier league not widely accepted as being behind the champions league in terms of quality? It stands to reason that the competition with all the best teams in Europe will be of higher quality than the competition with all the best teams in England.

PL is s..t to watch this year, ok I'm a LFC fan but the amount of teams I've watched this year dug in there own half and crowding out attacks is terrible viewing.
It's pragmatism gone mad and thank God for some CL football where most teams like to attack.

Even thinking back last year when we won the PL it is nothing like the nights you watch the CL games like the beating of Barcelona 4 nil that night or of course Istanbul. Maybe it's because the stands are empty but this years PL has been hard to watch who ever is playing.

I think his point is that the EPL is dogshit at the minute

Another golazo for Messi tonight and another win for Barcelona

Messi is in supreme form, nobody in the world is near him

Koeman after a shaky start is really getting things together - their performance against PSG last week was very good and merited a lot more than the 1-1 draw they got on the night

Barcelona are going to win the league

[sid waddell]

Atletico Madrid's prospects tonight have not been helped either by themselves or by the referee

[StPatsAbu]

Trashy behaviour from Rudiger. He's stooping to Salah levels of cheating. Rock bottom

[Captain Obvious]

Looked like a tough tie for Chelsea when drawn against them however Atletico Madrid was well beaten over two legs. Tuchel factor clearly the difference.

The strong possibility of another Premier league Champions league final is still there and more so if the 3 Premier league sides avoid each other in Fridays draw.

Do you deny that Salah is a cheat then?

There's not a club on the planet that isn't infested with cheats, even the one/s you support. It's one of the reasons I've probably only sat through 1 full game in the last 10 years. So whilst you dig at 1 particular player / club to, I don't know, point score (?), the club you support will have players doing the same.

Wrong. Salah is the biggest cheat in the EPL. No-one comes even close

Rudiger shit housed the shit houses. Surprised Atletico fell into the trap they have regularly set for others. Chelsea outplayed them.

Suarez is finished at the top level.

Only Messi has scored more goals in La Liga this season
