True, but....

You can't put a 1/4 finals place in the trophy cabinet.

I trust me, I wish you could.

As funny as it was seeing Van Persie getting sent off, that was the most ridiculous booking ever. There was a two second gap between the whistle and Van Persie's shot.

 

[Imperium]

Did Barca play better? Absolutely. Would it have won if Van persie wasnt sent off? Who knows...At that time we were going through, they were beginning to drop their heads and then suddenly that happens. Renewed vigour and well...two goals later. =/

Still if Bendtner took his chance late in the game we could still have won. In any case im disappointed more then angry this time around. Man...Im starting to hate football.

 

[blai]

Pfft, who cares about Barca? It's all about Schalke tonight

 

[kakashi919]

Schalcke gonna win it all!!!!

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

Unfortunatly, but Shalke kicked Magat out and I don't think they'll actually benefit from that. They are my favourites in Germany, so I'm really dissapointed, cause they really had a chance with Magat in the German Cup and can make some performance in Champions, but now it's uncertain how it will be.

I'm looking for Real against Lyon. It should be deffinetly a good match to see.
Also I hope for Chelsea to show a good game.

So folks, tomorrow morning we'll see the draw take place for the last eight of the Champions League. So before this draw actually takes place(), do any of you have any predictions on who'll play who in the QF? xD What's your dream draw then? xD!

- Barcelona (Spain)
- Tottenham Hotspur FC (England)
- FC Schalke 04 (Germany)
- FC Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine)
- FC Internazionale (Italy)
- Manchester United FC (England)
- Chelsea FC (England)
- Real Madrid CF (Spain)

My predictions:

Spoiler

- Barcelona Vs. Internazionale

I had a feeling Inter would play some of the teams they beat on route to winning the Champions League last year this season LOL! They played magnificently against Munich away and I would like to see them face Barca in the QF. Even if the chances are high that they'll lose this time around to them.

- FC Schalke 04 Vs. Tottenham Hotspur

I seriously want to see Hotspur progress into the semi's. Schalke would be a good draw for them but NEVERTHELESS it'll be fricking hard for them to overcome imo. At least they would give it their all in this game as equal to Schalke themselves. Fingers crossed they get Schalke or Donetsk.

- Manchester United Vs. FC Shakhtar Donetsk

Oh yeah! We need an easy draw in the QF considering our injury woes atm. It would be funny if we got Madrid though.

- Chelsea FC Vs. Real Madrid

F**k Chelski! They can go to hell! Go Jose!

Seriously though...I would much rather see Madrid play Chelsea in the QF's than Barcelona or Intermilan. It would be a great game and who better to kill off Chelski's CL dream once again but Jose himself?

Just for the lolz:

Spoiler

Barcelona Vs. Tottenham Hotspur

It would be feckin hilarious if Spurs pulled it off though.

FC Shalke 04 Vs. FC Shakhtar Donetsk

Survival of the fittest.

FC Internazionle Vs. Real Madrid



Manchester United Vs. Chelski

Actually...that wouldn't be funny.

 

[kakashi919]

Lol! Man Utd always get easy draws anyway

My predictions:

Spoiler

Barcelona FC vs Tottenham Hotspurs - It would be great to see how Spurs would do against a team of Barcelona level. I also don't want Spurs to reach the semis

Internazionale vs Manchester United - I don't like either of them, so at least this way one of them will be eliminated Hopefully it will be Man utd.

Chelsea FC vs Real Madrid - I would love to see Ancelotti take on Jose and win. It would be so ironic

Schalke04 vs Shaktar - Shaktar has been playing some really great football so far in the CL. I think this match up would be a really fast pace and entertaining game.

 

[Bugzee]

Inter Milan v Schalke
Real Madrid v Tottenham
Barcelona v Shakhtar Donetsk
Chelsea v Man Utd

Of all the teams, Barcelona get fricking Donetsk! Well, at least I got two fixtures right! Madrid Vs. Spurs should be a good game. I think I jinxed myself with that Utd Vs. Chelsea matchup.

...

 

[kakashi919]

Don't be fooled though...shakhtar vs barcelona will be a good game. Hope Schalke beat Inter. Meh@ Chelsea vs Man utd...

 

[Bugzee]

It's not funny.

Well we got the semi final draws as well:

1: Inter/Schalke v Chelsea /Manchester United
2: Madrid/Tottenham v Barcelona/Shakhtar

ZOMG! It could potentially be a Madrid Vs. Barcelona semi final! It's going to be tough to beat Chelski but I have faith in the team. We'll progress into the semi's. I would rather play Schalke in the semi's than Intermilan tbh.

 

[kakashi919]

Schalke v Chelsea
Barcelona v Madrid

That's how it's gonna be. No Man Utd!

 

[Bugzee]

Schalke are really strong this season. That Farfan guy has been playing some great football in the CL games so far. It's going to be hard for Inter but on paper I feel Inter have the upperhand but you'll never know during the game...

It's kinda obvious that it'll be a Madrid x Barca semi. I would be suprised if one of them do get knocked out in the QF's. It would be great to see Spurs actually pull it off though. :P

Feck Chelski man! It going to be an Intermilan/Schalke Vs. Man Utd semi.

 

[blai]

Barca'll loose to Donetsk because they'll play their b-team with overconfidence and I'm pretty confident in Schalke. Internatzionale is a horrible team compared to the German heroes *groans*

 

[kkck]

It'd be interesting to see manchester and barcelona in the finals again. Last time it was so awesome since I was with a bunch with manchester fans....

 

[Pirulito]

Only goleada in champions league this time!

Poor, Leonardo! Two big defeats in a row!

 

[Bugzee]

It was embarassing.

They started out so well but it wasn't good enough. The back four were terrible. I would've played Maicon, Chivu, Cordaba and Zanetti at the back. Meh. It was a very entertaining game though. Very fast and good end to end stuff. It's ashame that Inter didn't capitalize on some of Schalke's mistakes during the game. They should've put Pandev on once Schalke got the third goal.

Leonardo is a shit manager. Period. He was clueless on wtf to do after Schalke blitzed Inter at the end of the first half. His face said it all. Farfan came alive in the second half lol.

 

[blai]

What'd I tell ya? Schalke goes for it! <3 That's 10 man ownage for ya! (Excludes every other factor that helped determine the game's outcome apart from Schalke's awesomeness)

 

[thsv]

I wanna find a hole to hide in till the end of the season now. That broke me. And I'm one of 36,000 idiots who paid to watch a ten man Man City team turn around a 3-0 half-time lead years ago.

=_=
