I can't believe Barca blew that agg lead. Roma seemed to deserve the result as well looking at the match stats. Barca slight edge in possession but you always expect that. Otherwise massive game and result for Roma. If Bayern go through, semis going to have 1 team each from Spain, England, Italy, and Germany.

Jesus, still haven't processed that
City tactics nullified Liverpool completely first half. No changes at half time, how were Liverpool able to get more of the ball in that opening period of second half?
Gonna try and get a ticket for the semi, will probably end up paying for hospitality or over face value on a resell site

Guardiola whined at the ref and got sent to the stands. No more micromanagement in second half, gg. He apparently got too used to always being given a free pass in Munich.
So that's what, five years in a row for him with early defeat in the champion's league? Most overrated coach of the decade.
Umm most overrated coach? That's a stretch.
He's walked the league this year in EPL and has had tons of success before. Sure, CL he's had issues recently.

At the top end of the CL it gets so random as the teams are so evenly matched that I don't think you can really take much away from it. In almost every year you could say the best team did not win it. Does that make Pep a worse coach that Oblak played out of his mind or that tactically he got it wrong for 45 minutes? I'd say no but whatever.

How much money did he get to spend? was it more than a billion?
Last year he didn't even make it to the quarter finals.
And he didn't just strike bad luck, he was eliminated by Monaco last year.
I'm not saying he is a terrible, but so many consider him one of the best coaches right now, yet he barely meets lowered expectations no matter where he's been since Barcelona. He's pretty good, but waaay overrated.
If there's someone more overrated, who is it?

Thought the 2nd goal kind of came against the run of play. Surprised Madrid hasn't punched one in. Sets up for a lot of drama in this 2nd half, though. If Madrid can hold the fort for the first 20-25 minutes and score a goal though, it becomes a big hill to climb again.

A Madrid goal would change very little. Juventus needs two goals right now to advance, and they'd need two goals if Madrid scores once. The only difference is that 1-4 today would not get extended. Zidane is in big trouble.
This would be even more sensational than Roma yesterday.

If Madrid had scored to make it 2-1 and carried that until about the 70th minute, I think the tone of the game would change a great deal. Only needing 1 to force extra time at 2-0 and needing 2 to win it definitely feel different.
Now of course, they're on even footing in the tie, but Juvy with all the momentum in this game.

Huge mistake on his part. Not sure anyone was saving that penalty, Ronaldo hit it well, but at least give yourself and team a chance.
