0-2 for Villarreal, they did nothing for 80 minutes and they scored 2 goals.

The game is over now and in the end Villareal even won with 3-0. It is as you said, Juventus dominated the game for 80 minutes but then Villareal got the penalty which was very unlucky for Juventus and their goalie even almost managed to save the penalty which makes it even more unlucky. Then of course Juventus had to risk more as they only had 10 more minutes to score a goal and Villareal had way more space to perform counter attacks then which lead to the 2-0 for Villareal. After that goal Juventus risked everything and the last goal of Villareal did not even really matter anymore. A great success for Villareal but also a pretty lucky one in my opinion.

I said it before the game start Villarreal can beat  this Juventus.
Third consecutive year for Juventus going out in this stage and all were against calss B teams like Lyon Porto and now Villarreal quite embarasing for a big team like Juventus.

Obviusly the 3-0 result its a lie. but GG go home.

Juventus in shambles! 3-0 down at home to Villareal and its full time! I dont think anyone would have expected that result. 5 shots on target for Juve but they couldnt convert any. While also keeping major share of possession. Shocker.

Juventus vs Villarreal match left less than 10 minutes and now Villarreal lead with a score of 0-2. I think it's another surprise in the Champions League if Villarreal make it to the quarter-finals this season.

Chelsea are also leading 1-2 in their match against Lille and it seems impossible for Lille to qualify as Chelsea have many advantages. If Villarreal manages to maintain a win against Juventus then they will become the third team to compete in the Champions League quarter-finals on behalf of Laliga. But let's see what will happen in the remaining minutes of this match.

This could become quite interesting at the OSC Lille match. They have a 1-0 lead, and if they add another goal, we get extra time. I don't rule out that that will happen. Chelsea are still favorites to continue with the 2-0 win in London, but they have been warned now at half-time. I'm curious if Coach Tuchel is going to make some changes  now.
Chelsea has already level the score line as they are now 1-1 as at first half. Although Lille are really playing well because they have very good attack and goal attempts in the match, but it will be very difficult for them to qualify to the quarter final of this season Champions League, but I can't tell because anything can happen in football.

Chelsea are already leading 2-1 and the match is about to end. I can't say Lil played with confidence and power, an ordinary team level game as usual. Chelsea in this match, if you look at it that way, are much stronger than the French. I'm more interested in the parallel match. Juventus v Villarreal, considered a draw, although there were some good chances.

it's over for Lille, Chelsea have just scored the 1-2, and it's now become an impossible feat for Lille. They need to win 4-2 now, which means they have 3 more goals to score in the last 15 minutes. I think the chance of that happening is 1 in 500, so we can conclude that Chelsea will go to the quarter-finals. And Juventus? It can still go either way as it is still 0-0.
The VAR is checking now a possible penalty for Villareal.

This match was not easy for both teams even though Lille had a 1 goal lead from Chelsea before finally the first half closed with the score 1-1. Even if Lille manage to win 2-1 in this match, Chelsea will qualify for the quarter-finals because they are winning 2-3 on aggregate.

I believe Chelsea can secure a ticket to the next round of the season regardless of whether Lille can score his second goal in this match. However, the 1-1 draw still lasted until now which had entered the 60th minute.

Not like I expected OSC Lillle to win Chelsea anyway but, there 1-0 lead was a chance for them to try and level up with Chelsea on the aggregate. Unfortunately for them, the same Jorjinho that seemed to have created the handvall situation that resulted into a penalty in favour of OSC Lille had to take the pressure on him and create an assist for Christian Pulisic and he did the rest with his right foot just before half time. Apparently, Chelsea is the team to advance whole, OLille will get to go home and be focused on there demostic League 1. Still hoping on some more goals from Chelsea though.

BTC, a coin of today and tomorrow.
I am changing my tv channel to Liverpool vs Arsenal.

This is perhaps the best idea to see a good game. Chelsea don't have to give everything, they won 2:0 in the first game, so everything is easy. Juventus has more chances and i think a goal will come soon.

EDit: Penatly for OSC LILLE. Omg
Lolx...many things have happened this short time . A handball by Jorginho gave Lille an edge and clear air to breathe. This would have been a moral booster for the second half. But it is quite unfortunate that they could not defend the lone goal till the end of the first half.
Lille scored and Chelsea cancelled it and it's still 2 goals down for Lille.

This is becoming more interesting than Arsenal - Liverpool  Grin

It seemed to get exciting for a while, but not for very long. Chelsea still made the 1-1 in the first half and now seems to be sitting on roses again. Don't judge too quickly, but Lille can blame itself for not taking that 1-0 lead into the break. Then you would have had an open game, but after that 1-1, the faith is probably gone at Lille now. Other match is more exciting (at least, who goes through)

ya.ya.yo!

0-1 for Chelsea by the end of the first half. An unpleasant result just before the break - this usually has a bad effect on the mood of the players. I hope the Chelsea coach will be able to set them up correctly for the second half and Chelsea will win (yes, I bet on Chelsea to win  Grin )
In the second pair, Juventus missed several almost 100% opportunities. It could cost them a lot in the end.

Juventus have been performing really great so far. They have owned the game literally until this point and didn't let Villarreal have many chances. If the game goes on like this for a long time, the bells will be ringing for Villarreal here. Because if Juventus score first, Villarreal will have to double their effort at least to equalize the score. Juventus defense can be very solid in a condition like that. They are really good at keeping their goal advantage in this kind of situations. But we will wait and see as Villarreal might surprise us too.

Man United did win possession ball but their attack wasn't that great where the Man United midfielder looks confused in breaking down Atletico Madrid's defense, even the Man United defense is always struggling to face a counterattack from Atlético. With this result, Man United has missed the chance to play in the Champions League next season because I think they will also fail to take 4th place in the Premier League.
We also have to realize that ATM plays one of the better defensive schemes in all of football right now. They have managed to win a league title in La Liga over Barcelona and real Madrid this way, and they have come this far in champions league with this tactic as well. Doesn't mean that they will keep winning this way, but it certainly means that we should be expecting something better for them in the next stages as well.

United could be as good as it gets, but when the other team plays this well defense, and when you have leaky defense, it is normal to have one mistake and then fail to score all game to recover from that mistake, it is the whole tactic ATM plays with and relies on.

I think we will see 2 more matches with less goals. A similar scenario to yesterday's games. The difference is that Chelsea had won 2-0 at home, so Lille must do everything they can to quickly make that 1-0. Yesterday's games had both ended in a draw in the 1st game, so you can have a little more patience to play forward. It would be a disaster if Juventus will not advance to the next round.

The formation that Juventus used in this match is still the same as they did the massacre against Sampdoria in Serie A last week and the players are almost the same. The difference here is that Dusan is back playing and I'm looking forward to him in his performances now.
Juventus have to make the most of this match with a squad that can be said as it is now because some of their players are still not available at the moment but this will not bother them because I think they are quite ready for this match now.
Some bookmakers gave Juventus big odds in the early hours of today but even at that I have high faith/hope that Juventus will win tonight's game against collateral and if you see the game formations of both clubs one can easily see the advantage that Juventus stand to enjoy in the game but you know as usual their need to play attacking football to build that confidence to score an early goal.
The advantages of playing at home should be put to good use in this case because of course this will provide a spark of more enthusiasm with the presence of their 12th player, namely supporters who are ready to shake and make the Villarreal players feel uncomfortable.
I think it will be very good for them to maximize this opportunity.
They have to start with a good streak there because sometimes they don't play very well when the game has been going on for a long time

rangnick seems to have a strategy that is not much different from ole, looking at the strategy he made is like looking at ole's strategy. Man utd's midfield and front have been good, only the backline is still very bad, in the transfer market what Man utd must prioritize is to find competent defenders, who can make man utd's back line stronger so I'm sure they can dominate the premier league again and even UCL.
That could be true but, i still have to maintain that, with the squad theuve got now at hand in Manchester United they've got to be winning matches. Take a good look at Aston Villa, a mid tier team with very little quality players and good coach and they are doing well in the EPL.  Same is what could be expected of Manchester United both in the EPL and UCL because, they can be that good but the reverse is the case instead. Anyway, they are out of the UCL, even Ajax to couldn't make it past  Benfiica and that was a shocking one. Good one for Benfica to have come by that late goal.
