UEFA Champions League 2015/16

Griezmann should've scored that one. Really needs to step it up in the big games.

Edit: Massive PSV chance now.

 

[te amo barca]

Atleti with two huge chances already.

 

[Barcaman]

And two great saves now on both sides.

Not a whole lot happening in the first half hour of PSV - Atletico, and then suddenly two enormous chances - 1 for each - in the span of a few minutes.

 

[Barcaman]

Looks cold in Eindhoven.

Wouldn't mind PSV eliminating Atletico as I find them very uncomfortable to play against.

Simeone have so much trust to his youngsters. Can't believe he's started with Oliver Torres and Vietto in their opening game in round of 16 and it's an away game.

Thank you. That being said, Juventus first half was an understatement of what they are capable of. The role Allegri applied to them wasn't what they're used to.
When the match started and both teams were at ground zero, Bayern was the one who made the game from the start and Juventus wasn't on their level. This might have been less obvious, had Allegri told them to go higher up the pitch and develop an own game, but I think it's still noticable that there were differences. Juventus biggest freind was the turnpoint of the 1-2 where all tactics and gameplans from both teams went over board, and it was just a match driven by emotion rather than anything else.
The classic set-up of a nervous team in danger of their former 2 goal lead, and the other team that found their belief again. This happens sooooo often, especially in CL, and those are gamebreaker-moments. Noone concentrates anymore and coaches become obsolete. Actually those are the most awesome moments in CL matches, I just wish they hadn't happened to Bayern today.

I can see Juventus progressing, but only if they replicate Bayern's anxiety of loosing a lead or the tie as a whole. Imagine them leading 1-0 at home, then Juventus gets the 1-1 against the run of play like it happened with Dybala's goal. Then Bayern would just try to defend in pure anxiety and Juve would go all out until the 2nd goal. I can see Juve progressing this way, but not just by just outplaying Bayern in any aspect. I don't think that's the right approach, only Barca is capable of that. Juve is far from out, but it's gonna be a tough cookie

that may be our only chance, I agree ............ like last year at Bernabeu, where at the end of the match Marchisio and Pogba had two clear chances to win 2-1 the game

even if, I'd avoid to go down 1-0 at Allianz

 

[Barcaman]

That they are. We have their number though and they'd be more of a threat to Real and Bayern.

We're 6-0 against them under Lucho. I'd love for us to get Atletico next round

If PSV should qualify, they'd probably face RM. No way we'd be the lucky ones to draw them. Lucho has Atletico's number either way.
Besides, the longer our league rivals stay in ChL, the better, as I see it.

Not a good idea. Imagine Real getting PSV next round. Another easy game where they can score 4-0 away. Atletico should advance and face Bayern or Real.

Game over for Dynamo.

 

[Barcaman]

PSV good so far. I like that guy playing on their right wing

To be fair, they are 21 and 22 and have at least a few seasons of regular top flight football between them. It's not like they're just pulled up from the youth team.
