Juventus are beatable, but Barcelona are still the team to beat I think

Man United won the Europa League, and with it won a spot.

Cracking game in Paris lined up though



PSG have spent a fortune. Would not be great to go out in the final 16, well the neutral might think otherwise.

Ah! I didn't know that that was a prize for winning the Europa League. Nor did I realise that Man Utd won it last year

Gundogan scores his second and City's fourth.

Decent strike too.

Man U lost 1-0 to Basel in the group stages.

Says alot about the two sides right now.

Didn't see any of the Spurs game in Juventus but I understand they were outstanding and probably should have run out winners on the night.

63% possession is incredible.

This Liverpool performance is better than Man City's last night.

Hard to gauge, Budget. The players I know from this Porto team are all rubbish. That Spanish centre half hardly played for Villarreal, and I think even got released from Rubin or Zenit in Russia after not getting a game..... how can that calibre of player be playing a CL knockout.

Brahimi is their best player on paper, and he is comparable to Abel Taarabt, ie the perfect youtube footballer who hardly ever plays well

Probably Basel are on a par with Porto, Liverpool now 5-0 up, Mane hattrick.
