Liverpool 3 – 3 Benfica

Great game, thanks to Benfica for not giving up after the first match and showing such an extravaganza in the second - scoring three goals in Liverpool is a great achievement.
I agree that Benfica delivers a good game, not monotonous. Liverpool and Benfica are both enjoying the game. Even though Benfica failed to qualify, it was quite extraordinary from what they showed Liverpool. A balanced and appropriate match for Benfica's class can play up to this point. Liverpool always plays well, even throughout the game we saw a game that was not boring.

This was not as predicted by most football lovers who have placed high hope on manchester city winning but the game ended 0:0 and even with the level of Manchester City's performance, it shows to a great extent how the club was not ready for the winning but only played a defensive game.

Liverpool and Benfica tied at 3-3with five minutes left in the game. A little too late but kudos to Benfica for fighting.

Liverpool are through to the semi finals of the champions league, their first leg win at Benfica means Liverpool qualify on aggregate. Liverpool has to watch their leaky defense in the next round of the tournament they are becoming very predictable at the back lol. FT: Liverpool 6 - 4 Benfica
I'm pretty sure adjustments will be done in the semi-finals but I doubt they can prevent City from scoring. Pep will exploit any weakness in their defense hehe. Real Madrid can only rely on their offense again against a much disciplined City defense to move into the Finals.

The way things are looking right now, we may see an all English team in Paris.

Atlético 0 - 0 Manchester City

Atlético played as everyone predicted, but still City's advantage in the first game played its role. By the way, City are big trolls - in the second half they played according to Atlético's strategy and, if I'm not mistaken, they didn't hit a single shot on goal for the entire half, but at the same time they completely defended their own.

Liverpool 3 – 3 Benfica

Great game, thanks to Benfica for not giving up after the first match and showing such an extravaganza in the second - scoring three goals in Liverpool is a great achievement.
Champions League is indeed the best league in the world of football, can you imagine how the Quarter final ended, Both the two England teams that qualify today were very lucky to have registered goals in the first leg of not it will be very difficult today. I feel sad for Atlético Madrid because they fought for the spot but unfortunately they were unlucky.
We hope seeing them next season.

Real Madrid - Chealsea game was absolutely crazy. One of the best games and rounds of all time. It will not be forgotten for a long time. I have watched the highlights two times and going to watch again probably. First game alone was legendary, the big away win for Real in London and then this game happened. Absolutely mental! Naturally, I respect Chelsea a lot for how they fought. Even though out of court factors made them struggle, they didn't care and just tried their best. And almost getting a win actually. It is immensely hard to score 3 goals in this stage of CL and against Real Madrid in their home court. Huge respect. I wonder how much longer Real can go in the CL but I think another team will get the trophy.

As a CFC fan I must say I was astonished by the performance of the boys last night, if Tuchel had made same formation  in the first leg am sure the blues would have been amongst the four teams still standing tall in the UCL race, but that been said, Madrid escaped through experience, as it was lacking in their opponents last night.

Liverpool - Benfica game has finished and I think that it was just an amazing game. We watched six goals in total and I just love this kind of games. It was the completely opposite version of the boring Atletico Madrid - Manchester City game. Benfica put a huge effort in this game to have a chance maybe but it was really difficult. Liverpool secured themselves and still reached the semi finals. And Atletico Madrid - Manchester City game also finally finished with a 0-0 draw after a very long stoppage time. Now we have Liverpool - Villarreal and Manchester City - Real Madrid matchups.
The semi's ties look tricky. On paper it should be a easy win for Liverpool but we saw the kind of upset Villarreal has been causing only man United has beaten in UCL.
The city- Madrid match depends on the tempo but team start the first leg with. But I see city going through to the final
A all English final is my prediction

Damn, this second failure was unexpected. I thought Liverpool would defend 3-1 but Benfica was able to retaliate even though Liverpool still qualified on aggregate (6-4)

Manchester city in every game defended until the end, but Atletico Madrid's attack always tried to make up for Mancity's defense but it could still be thwarted, this ended in a draw, unfortunately again I lost the bet.
Liverpool and Manchester City qualified for the semi-finals to visit Villareal and Real Madrid. Now there are 2 chairs up for grabs. The 4 clubs deserved the seat with quite an impressive struggle. Liverpool almost got into trouble in the last minute because 2 goals were created by Roman and Darwin so quickly that it made Benfica at the end of the second half even more improved. The confrontation between Atletico Madrid and Manchester City ended quite hotly.

Atletico are out, but it was an entertaining game. There was plenty to do, especially in the last few minutes. When Atletico got a red card, it really seemed like the end of the story. The very last and best chance of the game, however, was for Atletico but the keeper saved. Man City really disappointed and didn't create anything tonight. De Bruyne was also invisible, but he made the winner last week so that will not interest him much.

ya.ya.yo!

In the second half Atletico Madrid really stepped up their attack and at this moment of course Manchester City must defend well. Now Atletico are in much better form than in the first half, they have been dangerous quite often in the Manchester City penalty area and maybe they will score.
Felipe was given a red card and it was deserved. Atletico players can't control their emotions, they start to get provoked because they can't catch up in crucial minutes for them will be very depressed. It becomes a bad game when things get out of hand. With 9 minutes added, that was long enough to take chances and not end the game with a fatal error.
very bad last-minute game. The end of the match was 0-0 and City won 0-1 on aggregate. After struggling to face City's defense, Atletico's game seemed frustrated. and start playing rough. Likewise, with City, they tried to hold off Atletico's attacks and they were forced to play hard. There are 7 yellow cards and 1 red card. It was a tough match for both teams. but congratulations to all City fans.

Congratulations to Liverpool on the qualification also I believe Manchester City would be joining them soon, and athletico Madrid are a man down. I still believe Liverpool weren’t at their best and Benfica really did a good job today. Now that’s leaves us with Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester city and Villarreal in the semi final of the uefa champions league. I Think all team has a chance but on paper Villarreal seems to have the least chance but come on they knocked out Bayern Munich and now anything is possible.

Too much drama in the last few minutes of Atletico Madrid and Manchester City, but in the end the score did not change until the match was over. Atletico were too emotional in this match unnecessarily when they fell behind on aggregate, but it's good that Manchester City made it through to the semifinals.

Previously I thought Manchester City and Liverpool could win the second leg, but in the end both match ended in a draw. 0-0 and 3-3. So Real Madrid vs Manchester City and Liverpool vs Villareal in the semi-finals. Guess who is going to the final is easier now.

Atletico Madrid players are more physical. This could be end for Atletico Madrid in the champions league. Manchester City's players are pulling tricks trying to waste time. Diego Simone is furious, the final whiste will be blown any moment from now. Manchester City is really taking their time, Atletico played defensively they didn't attack much.

And as I said, Liverpool is winning and Benfica managed to score at least one goal, I knew they can do it!

Liverpool really don't give up even though Liverpool have won the first leg in the second leg they still want to get a win
Now the score is 3-3 when Liverpool should have scored 5 goals but 2 other goals were canceled
Atletico Madrid got a red card this is really a crucial situation and Manchester city is safe now

I don't expect Manchester City to fail to maintain their lead in this match even if they don't score, but scoring 1 goal is much more important than having to maintain that 0-1 aggregate.

The surprising thing is that Benfica have scored 3 goals so far at Anfield, but of course Liverpool are still safe because the score is still a 3-3 draw 6-4 on aggregate. A few minutes before the game ends, I hope this draw can take Manchester City to the semifinals.

The time is running out for Atletico Madrid and the game is still going on by 0-0. Atletico Madrid found more chances to score in the second half but they were too bad at even finding the target. They have zero shot on target in this half. And it seems like Manchester City are qualifying for the semi final round. And the Liverpool - Benfica game has been amazing so far. Maybe Benfica are still going to be out of the tournament but we have watched six goals. And there is a tie like 3-3. Benfica turned the game around from 1-3 and it was great to see. At least they are trying their best still.
