all that happened last night in Munich just make it more interesting to see match in Paris
I expect that Bavarians will go through in the end, it was a miserable start, but there is another 90 minutes for them to prove themselves

Chelsea was good enough to make things for Porto impossible for a re-match

I’m looking at the line ups right now and I’m not sure about this Chuopo Moting guy tho.  Is he any good?

When he played for PSG, he is "known" for this action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIQllID_aU0
He's not a bad player, but not a good one either. But he's a good guy for the good mood in the locker room.
But I have a feeling he will score tonight Smiley
And you were right, C. Mothing scored one to get Bayern going. Funny how ex players always manage to stick it to their former clubs.

Neuer looked like he missed warm up session, should have done much better for first goal.

^  Yup.  It’s 2 - 1 for Bayern for me if I was playing this pool.  I’m looking at the line ups right now and I’m not sure about this Chuopo Moting guy tho.  Is he any good?

Ex City guy Leroy Sane anytime goal scorer at 3.3 seems like nice fun for a small bet.  No idea if he’s any good at Bayern.  Lol.

it was all expected last night, Real and City proved their home pitches, but Dortmund has solid chances to fight back, late goal by Reus could make their semi-final happen
regarding tonight, Bavarians will win over PSG, that is my pick, but I expect a lot of fight in Portugal tonight, maybe Porto could see Chelsea kicked-out in the end
Dortmund was better than I expected and they could have even gotten more from this first game. There was also some doubtful ref decisions in City favor. Liverpool looked quite bad and they can be happy they managed to score at least that one away goal, 2:0 is enough for them to progress but they will have to be orders of magnitude better in that march. CL is Real playground and if any team knows how to win it, it is them. When they were quite poor in their group I said that they are winners if they manage to progress. So far they are keeping my bet alive.

Agree for Bayern, maybe it will sound a bit strange but I believe bavarians will manage to absorb Lewa not playing much easier than PSG missing Verrati. Verrati is the only real creative connection between PSG defense and their atomic attack. Free tip for tonight, Neymar to get yellow card or even maybe red one. If the game is in Bayern favor that is almost free money.

A humble reminder to smash in those picks for the first legs of the QF tonight.

I'm in big on Liverpool. I know it's petty but I really see this as an opportunity for payback and I know Salah and co feel absolutely the same. I honestly wish Ramos were in this team but it's pretty much the same bones as the ones that beat us in the final two years ago, so all good.

Zidane paid a strange compliment though, saying we're a complete team when it's painfully obvious to me we're not!

Big, big game!

Congratulations to Hilarious for the round 🙌🏾

I've was able to maintain my stand and it's still a 12 points lead with 13 games to go right ? It's probably going to get tougher from here on as it's becoming harder to pick a side 🤥

Yeah 13 games. You would have to get 0 points from 4 games while someone gets exact scores on those, so I would bet money on you keeping and extending your lead, the way things are going.

I'm still somehow in the running for a prize spot but I still have my outright on Liverpool to look forward to (which has considerably become worth more as BTC price goes up!

I know you're not in this pool @LFC_Bitcoin but I just found out belatedly that we finally get the chance to avenge our loss to Real Madrid! Ramos is back from injury too, so I'm sure we get to see him again. I know we could have had an easier draw but I LOVE this matchup and I'm sure our boys can't wait to get it on.

So excited, can't wait to put down some money on our boys. Istanbul!

P.S. Congratulations to hilarious for yellow cap! The top 5 is still within reach!

^^ Yeah, I know it's silly to say but was wondering myself if not playing at Anfield was actually a good thing for us because they did seem to play more calmly. Then again, it's a huge difference playing with Fabinho in midfield, so clearly more stable at the back. Nice to see Mane and Salah together again of course, and scoring again minutes apart.

4 more games to Istanbul, we can do it!

BTW guys, there's a free competition that starts next week: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5321499.40

I've entered. You don't need to do anything except declare a bankroll and post bets you normally make anyway. So that's what I'm doing, sharing betslips I made there, and if I win, I win!

Two successive goals from Liverpool has guaranteed their place, finally Liverpool will get a win at Anfield, Lol  ;De
This game was played in Budapest I believe, neutral turf so Anfield curse is still live Smiley

I watched Barca game and I must say that they squandered their chance in first half. They should have had 3:1 lead with the amount of chances they created, even a missed penalty from Messi but he scored a screamer before that so can't blame him much.

yeah, played in Budapest, as the first one, and that brought Liverpool good luck
maybe it would be different for Leipzig if played on Anfield Smiley, but nevertheless, both teams that had good first match result made their progress

watched Barca as well, they played as expected, but did not scored when needed, so there was no excitement in the end

Meanwhile, Liverpool do look in control but I'd feel a lot better if we could just score 1 goal. 30 mins to play.

Come on Harko! 3 more goals from Barca, right? Haha.

Barcelona ? Not tonight! I wasn't expectant to be honest and I said it! However, I believe If Messi had scored that penalty then there would have been a huge amount of pressure on PSG.

Some sadness for this thread, haha.

Anyway, looks like my 41/1 bet on Barca died in HT (actually already won my cards and corners overs, Messi scoring, and only needed Barca to score 3 more goals lol) but needed them to also win both halves, which Messi unfortunately did not do when his penalty was saved. 1 wonder goal, and 1 missed penalty. Damn.

Real 3/1 bet was a good hedge on my Gladbach bet (I know, I know City easy win) but will be super cool to see who they match up in QF since they never got past it.

I was also lucky enough to back my pick in the pool with a punt and here's what I got https://i.imgur.com/EYfk5C7.png

Guess it's really only just PSG who've got a proper foot in the door now.

Sad to admit as a Barcelona fan but, yeah! It's game over already, and there's no way Man City are also not going through.

Looks like it but just remember Barca results in LP in last few years. They have managed to come back after loosing first game with big score and they managed to drop out of the competition after winning first leg with great score.

I know this time is different since Barca is in really bad shape and they lost the game at home, usually it is away games giving them problems.

Slipped one position to 7th so I'm finely in the middle. Not many games left but I'll know if I have a chance after 2nd leg I guess.

would add Bayern as team that already qualified for next round, even Barca could be expected to come back, do not think that they will just go to training in Paris, but Lazio could put all-in and it would not be enough to get more than just a honest defeat in Munich
most of teams won on a away matches, but it is a strange season, and things go turn around in no-time, but Bavarians would not let that happen

Oh man! I really love the odds for Bayern, but playing away from home and Bayern Munich haven't even been flawless in the Bundesliga, I'm more tending towards both teams to score or over 2.5 goals. Although my pick in the pool is the contrast of this. I went with a 2-0 win for Bayern.

I really don't know what to expect or who to back on Chelsea vs Atletico, I've got the game Under 2.5 goals for my slip but I've no idea on which team to pick in the pool  Huh

Looks like we both got what we wanted for Bayern. I did take a simple ML so that more than made up for what I thought would be Atleti's night (strange that they rather switched back to their old dogged ways in Europe competition, reminds me of how they played against Liverpool) but finalle Simeone got undone by Chelsea. Still, maybe this is his plan after all and second leg is where it unfolds. Tuchel 1 so far though. And Giroud as usual bringing in the goods!

Yeah!

I got exactly what I wanted on my bet slip, but I shot myself in the leg by changing my pick just some minutes after I posted, I had Chelsea to win 1 - 0, initially! That'd have given me a better advantage at the top of the pool.
