AC Milan thought they had the better of Arsenal for a few minutes, when Calhanoglu scored a goal well into the first half. Nobody in the Arsenal team thought it would be a good idea to close him down, inviting him to go for the goal which he duly converted. Unfortunately for AC Milan, Danny Welbeck got a penalty after being brought down in the box. Arsenal and AC Milan are at 1-1 going into the second half.
Red bull Lepzig and Zenit game is beginning to look like a difficult game for the germans.
They are heading into the half tied at 1 goal for both sides.

It’s 1-1 & Leipzig have an away goal, it’s going perfectly well for them at the moment.
Arsenal is having problems at home at Emirates stadium as AC Milan just scored a goal against ospina.
If they lose this game and are down by 2 goals they will be out of the competition.
But Wellbeck just got fouled(without getting touched - he fell over) so a penalty will be awarded so they might be in it again.
Atletico Madrid did not even stop to play these guys in their leagues are playing a different game in Europe. Chelsea could not stand too much against Barcelona. Zenit is actually fighting well in Europe too.

Arsenal FC vs Milan is going to be an interesting game to watch most definitely. I personally as a fan of Arsenal see the Rossoneri winning with a goal difference, something like 1:2, either way both teams to score is the most secure thing to bet on. 
I staked a bet for AC Milan in the first leg and they disappointed me very much but i don't think i am going to do that today and i do believe that just as the Gunners won at the San Siro, They are going to win at the Emirates stadium again today.

Man, Chelsea played really well today (except for Fabregas, poor performance), the 4-1 aggregate score does not reflect how good they actually were in both games. A few crucial mistakes, some bad luck (hitting the crossbar a bunch of times), and Messi, were key factors in both games.
Looking forward to the quarter finals, hopefully we'll see Sevilla vs Roma so that the big teams (and Man City) can play against each other.
Agree , Barcelona didn't dominate the game , conte seems instructed the whole team to keep making pressure. Unfortunately their fighting spirit not help to survive at the camp nou . Alonso hit the woodwork once also with rudiger header could save them and change the game actually. Conte has no regret , very well played Chelsea. Wish new champion could born this season. Looking forward to the quarter finals, hopefully we'll see Sevilla vs Roma so that the big teams (and Man City) can play against each other.
This season Barcelona is converting their chances to goals at much better rate then usual for them. I remember watching them during past seasons when they absolutely destroyed their opposition with their possession game and created 20+ chances without scoring a goal. This season they are playing like champions. Meaning even when they are not playing so good they manage to win.
Barcelona more than deserved their win even though the final result is a bit hard on Chelsea.
Arsenal vs AC Milan that basically Arsenal already stepped one of their foot to went to next round because they were already win 2-0 from first leg match but i think Milan will attempts to pushing the score with more attacking to play however Arsenal as host team will keep their chance to avoid conceded first so this match will so tight and regarding this match results i think under 2,5 goal is good

I think victory barcelona at the time against Chelsea is a fortune, because some chances that can be made by Chelsea always hit the posts, apart from that the dominance of the game was superior to chelsea, well this is what needs to be evaluated by chelsea. the settlement must be more focused and it is a task that must be resolved immediately ,,
congratulations to barcelona
congratulations to barcelona
Hit the needle on the head with my prediction that Besiktas will score. Unfortunately really screwed up with Barcelona and Chelsea, I was almost a 100 per cent convinced that it was going to be a really boring game, turns out I was big time wrong. Barcelona scored 3 goals which were good and all, but Chelsea.. They had the game of their season and still lost. 
Yeah Chelsea had more than enough chances to get 1 or 2 goals & make it a lot closer, Barcelona were just much more clinical. One point I will make is Courtois was at fault for 2 of the Barcelona goals, he should have especially saved the 1st one.
Dembele’s goal was a give away by Fabregas in midfield, all 3 could have been avoided.
Europa League later today, i'm looking forward to Arsenal vs Milan (Both teams to score @1.68 and Over 3.5 Goals @2.80), and Zenit vs RB Leipzig (Leipzig to qualify @1.39)
^ But what could we really expect? Lol. That's Barca.
But there were a few moments during the game when Chelsea wasn't doing bad at all. It was after Messi's first goal... Chelsea started being more aggro. I was anticipating Willian getting one in too but no. After seeing Barca's second goal, you would know it was over.

The ease of Messi winning such a high profile game almost by himself is still incredible.
Regarding Manchester United - Sevilla game, I was very surprised to see MAN UTD dropping out since the game came to Mourinho who is the best when he can decide how and in what conditions the game will be played. Who else thinks this is the biggest flop in his carries so far?

Barcelona really makes Chelsea worse off. they do not give Chelsea a chance to qualify for the next round at UCL while Chelsea must also try to improve their position in the Premier League if they want to compete again in UCL match next season. The current conditions are really unfavorable for Chelsea. However, despite Chelsea, remain a team that has always been a favorite to win all competitions. From the match tonight, I was convinced that Barcelona would win the game so I set up a gamble for Barcelona's victory.
The pundits were all telling Conte he had to change his game plan and for some reason, I think it got to him. They should have been prepared for the atmosphere at Nou Camp, but it probably threw them off - noise was deafening even on TV, and that led to the early goal from Messi. Credit to them, they actually didn't play too badly to be honest, Kante was superb and Willian was his usual threat. It's just a pity Barca were the better team after all. So it's 3 Spanish teams in the last 8 after all, and England will need to look at themselves and think that perhaps they had too much pride with 5 teams in the Last 16.
Our attentions to Europa tonight. I have hopes of Dortmund turning this around, and with them to progress @2.9, I know where my money is tonight!
The away matches are always difficult and Barcelona were already chosen winners, right from the start. Conte has been screaming for reinforcements but he didn't get and plus selling matic also has effected them. Barcelona do what they normally do win. Though Chelsea did try it, it was never going to be them at camp Nou now let's await for the draws.
