Who could've thought that PSG not starting their front 3 together in a single January game would have backfired?

Liverpool off to warm weather training for next 4 days too. The plus’ of not being in the FA cup.

Top scorers in the CL this year.

Is this true? I couldn't imagine Neymar or Cavani would be happy being left on the bench for a month

Neymar would.

This is a guy who used to get himself deliberately suspended so he could go to his Sisters birthday.

He’s not been keen on playing many French league games. Rather save himself for the champions league.

Dunno if it's still true but recently (it came up the last time he was out of the team for no apparent reason) it was reported that since he joined PSG Neymar hasn't played 5 games in a row :lol:

If it's a good enough tactic for Kevin Nolan, it's a good enough tactic for Neymar.

I have to say, despite Liverpool's performance, Porto had a horrible night. I mean, they are at home but attempting to play against Liverpool is instantly your downfall and they just are not used to gegen pressing because we forced them into so many mistakes then battered them.

Not going to get carried away at all. I think we're through to the next round though.

I do hope Liverpool make it through, but it would be the comeback of the century if Porto could pull it off. :lol:

If we don't make it through I'm giving up on football for this season.

Liverpool and City are definitely through, and Spurs have given themselves an excellent chance. Great to see English clubs doing well.

Thought PSG were a bit unlucky to come away 3-1 down last night. They had at least 2 probable goals stopped by last ditch blocks and there was a touch of fortune with both Madrid’s second half goals.

If all five English clubs get through does that guarantee that two English clubs will meet eachother?

Edit* in the next round obviously

Seeing as there are 4 matches in the QFs yes.

Can’t see Chelsea getting through though.

Wouldn't be surprised to see United go out to Sevilla.
