UEFA Champions League 2014-2015

Quarter-Final Drawing today! Really hoping for PSG to avoid Real Madrid and Bayern Münich. :)

Here's the quarter-final draw:

PSG - Barcelona

Atletico Madrid - Real Madrid

FC Porto - Bayern Munchen

Juventus - Monaco

The first two ties should be extremely interesting, the last two have strong favourites.

Well, this draw was very good for Juventus and Bayern, and also we will watch two big derbies. It will be very interesting, I can't wait. :-bd

Hmm, two derbies? The Madrid-derby is the only one? :)

In the other 3 Q-finals the teams are not even from the same country.

By saying "derby" I don't mean that both teams are from same country, but that in that match there is no clear favorite.  ;)

Wow, 9.00 on Monaco. That was a little higher than I expected. Almost a little tempting to bet a small amount on them. :)

One of the most attractive duels in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League Atletico Madrid - Real Madrid.Five of the players from Atletico Madrid already have two yellow cards accumulated in the current season of UCL and can miss the next match if will take yellow cards in this match. They are : Gabi, Fernando Torres, Mario Suarez, Cristian Ansaldi and Jesus Gamez. Real Madrid have the same problems with : Toni Kross, Marcelo și Fabio Coentrao.

Yes, have to be a great one between Atletico and Real. I think the host team will throw everything they've got to revenge for the last year's loss at the final.Expecting both games to be exiting. :-bd

I must say that I expected a little bit better football from Juventus. But on the other side it was expected that Monaco will give 200% of themselves to stay unbeaten at Juventus Stadium. I hope that I'll see more from Juve in second half  :-bd

Bayern Munich club's sporting director Matthias Sammer said Monday that footballers Franck Ribery and Bastian Schweinsteiger will not evolve into Wednesday's match with FC Porto in the Champions League quarterfinals. Both have ankle problems.

From the Bayern squad are injured Arjen Robben (unavailable on 22 March), David Alaba (knee problems) and Javi Martínez (knee problems). stiri-sport.com

Accordingly, Guardiola could align lineup against  Porto:

Neuer - Rafinha, Badstuber, Dante - Weiser, Lahm, Xabi Alonso, Juan Bernat - Muller, Gotze, Lewandowski

I am really looking forward to PZG - Barcelona tomorrow!  :)

Tight matches on Tuesday, goalless stalemate in Madrid and a narrow advantage for Juventus.

Atl. Madrid 0 - 0 Real Madrid

Juventus 1 - 0 Monaco

Another pair of cracking matches coming up tonight, here are the odds at Sports Interaction:

Fc Porto v Bayern Munich

Fc Porto  4.55

Draw  3.64

Bayern Munich  1.80

Paris St Germain v Barcelona

Paris St Germain  4.94

Draw  4.06

Barcelona  1.66

Good luck!

Paris Saint Germain looking for a second appearance in the Champions League semifinals,with  20 years ago  they  eliminating the Barcelona in the quarters.

The French were accustomed with duels against the Catalan band. The two teams havemet in the groups, and Parisians are eliminated last season bacause Barcelona scored more goals away.

"Barcelona is a team that can give goal of any stadium in Europe. Has individuality, but also a collective game at any time allows to create large occasions. I remarked in previous duels how in 2-3 minutes scored a fantastic goal, a goal how you see on the computer games". Laurent Blanc said, PSG coach.

The biggest problem of Parisians at the game tonight is the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swede was suspended one stage after eliminating with Chelsea and will return on the Nou Camp.

It will be tough for PSG without Zlatan but I expect an entertaining match.

I must say that I expected more from all four teams that played yesterday. But anyway I'm glad that Juve won and now they are closer to the semi final.

When it comes to tonight matches, I'm pretty sure that we will see a lot of goals and way better football than we saw yesterday. And I agree with all of you that Ibrahimovic's absence may damage PSG, but on the other side I also think that PSG are very good team and that they will be good without him too.

Luis Suarez scored two great goals in Paris and Barcelona are almost sure of reaching the semi-finals. The big surprise was in Portugal though as Porto secured a historic victory against Bayern, and they played well too! We'll have one hell of a second leg in Munich, you can bet on that :)

FC Porto 3 - 1 Bayern Munich

Paris SG 1 - 3 Barcelona

We saw four goals in each match this evening, as I expected we watched better football. That Porto win surprised everyone, maybe I expected that it will not an easy match for Bayern, but I never saw this coming. Great work Porto  :-bd

FC Porto is not qualified, they will have a very difficult match in the Alianz Arena. They made a good match, but the return match will be decisive.

Who can see that coming? 3-1 for Porto against Bayern and I must admit that this was quite a surprise for me. But nothing is clear yet, Bayern have to be at the top of their game in the second match. Anyway have to be an exiting one.

FC Porto is not qualified, they will have a very difficult match in the Alianz Arena. They made a good match, but the return match will be decisive.

They are not qualified yet, but with great, fast players in attack they can score couple goals on counter-attack, like Real Madrid last year.

We'll find out the first two semi-finalists tonight, here are the odds at Sports Interaction:

Barcelona v Paris St Germain

Barcelona  1.40

Draw  5.13

Paris St Germain  6.98

Bayern Munich v FC Porto

Bayern Munich  1.35

Draw  5.36

FC Porto  7.86

Good luck!

I expect to Bayern win this match with Porto absolutely tonight, probably 3 or 4-0 and they qualify on the semi finals.

How this season in Champions League is coming to an end there will be more and more interesting matches. I expect that both matches tonight will be fun to watch and also I expect many goals on both of them.  :-bd

Yes we have two exciting matches,  one of them is already known who goes on, I think Barcelona is already qualified, but it will be a good football show.

Man, Bayern are really hammering them! I've rarely witnessed such domination at this level.

ooh what a match Bayern has ridiculed it the FC Porto. I expected to win Bayern, but not with 5 - 0 in the first half. I think it is the highest score at halftime in this edition of the Champions League:)))

Oh God, maybe I expected that Bayern will manage to qualify to semi finals, but I've never imagined that they will do something like this, especially not after their first match in Portugal. I think that they are the biggest favorites for the title in Champions League this season  ;D

Bayern pulled off the comeback against Porto and they did it in style, 5-0 at half time! Barcelona controlled the match against PSG and recorded a comfortable victory.

Barcelona 2 - 0 Paris SG (5-1 aggregate)

Bayern Munich 6 - 1 FC Porto (7-4 aggregate)

For tonight matches I expect at least one will go to extra time. That can be clash Real Madrid- Atletico. What do you think about it?

Nah, I don't think they will do another goalless draw, I think we'll see goals in this one. As for Monaco, don't think they are able to beat Juventus 1-0, they can score but can't see them keeping a clean sheet against Juve.

I expect very tough matches tonight. I expect that Real Madrid will manage to win and qualify to semi finals, but it will be very hard for them to do that with all those non available players. In second match, as true "Bianconero" I expect that Juventus will finale, after all this years, will be part of top 4 teams in Europe. Forza Juve! Fino Alla Fine! :-bd

I think Juventus is the better team and they will scored at Monaco,  they go on  in the semifinals, 1-0 or 1-1 correct score. I do not expect to score many goals in this match.Juventus has the advantage because they did not get home goal.

My expectations for tonight are both games to be close ones and I believe that Juventus and Real Madrid will go trough. But you never know, that why it's so interesting.

Chicharito put Real Madrid through with a late goal while Juve held on to the narrow first-leg advantage in France.

Monaco 0 - 0 Juventus

Real Madrid 1 - 0 Atl. Madrid

Honestly I'm not satisfied with how Juventus played yesterday in France, but I'm more than happy that we finally reached semi finals in Champions League. On the other side, Real Madrid deserved to win and also they scored beautiful goal from amazing action. Can't wait for tomorrow's draw  :-bd

Atletico Madrid had a well organized defense, but Real Madrid managed to score a goal very nice almost to the end of the match and they won deserved.

Real is absolutely deservedly went to the semifinals, were better in both games and they deserved goal. I am very happy because Chicharito scored a goal.

Well, all the big teams are there, I don't remember the last time when so strong teams reached the semis. No matter who will face who will be exiting to watch. I hope that ain't gonna be another Spanish final.

Here are the mouth-watering semi-final clashes:

Barcelona vs Bayern Munich

Juventus vs Real Madrid

First legs will be played on 5 and 6 May, second legs on 12 and 13 May.

Great games ahead of us, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the favourites of the bookies in this  clashes but the "underdogs" Bayern and Juventus could spoil the Spanish party. Here are the odds at Bet365 for the champions league winner.

Barcelona            3.00

Real Madrid          3.00

Bayern Munich    3.50

Juventus                8.50

What derbies await us in the semi-finals of the Champions League. I expect Barcelona and Juventus play in the final.

There will be very interesting matches in the semi finals.Almost every Juventus fan wanted Real Madrid as opponent and now our wishes comes true. Now it's all about players and managers and "let the games begin"  :-bd I really can't wait to watch Juve in those games, and I hope that we'll also play in the Final in Berlin. Fino Alla Fine! Forza Juve!

I'm really tempted to spend some money on Juventus win in the tournament, the odds are really high at 8.50 and I think it worth a try. ;)

Yes sharpe, Juventus are considered as "outsiders", but I'm not so sure that they are that big outsiders like the odds are saying that. At this stage of the competition everything can happen. And absolutely I agree with you that it's more than worth to try this bet.  :-bd
