Atletico Madrid v Juventus Schalke 04 v Manchester City Manchester United v Paris St-Germain Tottenham Hotspur v Borussia Dortmund Lyon v Barcelona Roma v FC Porto Ajax v Real Madrid Liverpool v Bayern Munich
is who i think goes through
Agree with this, Dortmund only one that could be tricky if they are firing but Spurs if they play well should win.
Actually toughest one to call is Liverpool v Munich, Bayern slightly for me but you know what liverpool can do on a European night
If the match was next week I'd put Liverpool (along with Man City) as THE banker from those games.
Munich a shadow of themselves this season (and every question re form or negative comment etc is answered with the same "rebuilding at the end of the season" answer) Liverpool meanwhile look awesome.
As soon as we're drawn in the CL against Dortmund on the Wednesday night (13th Feb), Sky move the game against Leicester originally scheduled for Sat 9th at 3pm to Sun 10th at 1:30pm, giving us one days less rest. Ridiculous. The PL should be helping teams competiting in the CL, not hindering them. Most of the other European Leagues allow their CL clubs to play on the Friday night or Saturday afternoon to accomodate.

Completely agree. No reason your game couldn't be Saturday lunchtime.
You should also be concerned that you play Arsenal 3 days before the 2nd leg so you can't really rest anyone.

Poch wouldnt rest players for either game. FA Cup 5th round (if we get that far) is following weekend (Sat 16th) so will be a rotated team or a weekend off.
Mbappe was 4 yards behind the defenders just outside the box, by the time he scored 6 yards out he was a yard in front. Frightening pace that no defender can cope with
Said on the betting thread that people underestimate PSG because of no Neymar or Cavani. Their team is fantastic without both, and they’ve dominated united tonight.

A lot can change between now and February though

Ref seems very card happy
So is Kimpembe
Should have been an instant red for doing that with the slope @ Old Trafford - Little prick knew what he was doing
Ouch
Yet no mention of Di Maria telling the United fans to F Off when PSG scored.
Throwing things should not happen but the players cant expect to tell fans to F off with no reaction
Shame he was happy staying in an largely uncompetitive Ligue 1 when he left Monaco
Frightening pace that no defender can cope with
