Next match Juventus vs Villareal i think both of teams have equal chance went to quarterfinal it because they playing draw for the first leg but as a host Juventus will be the favourite especially during champion league this season Juventus very strong for home ground matches with 3 times win and never lose and i wish Juventus will playing better and don't do again some mistakes such as first leg match and for bet option i have no doubt bet for Juventus win
Many will believe that Juventus are more confident to advance to the quarter-finals than Villarreal, myself included. Against Villarreal in Turin it will be a testament to Juventus striker V. Vlahovic who has been declining in terms of scoring goals even though in the 1st leg he scored the fastest goal.
But Villarreal will try to break this prediction by playing a counter-attack, because they know that Juventus are weak in anticipating counter-attacks.

Ajax 0 - 1 Benfica

 Shocked

took a while to post because i got sleepy and slept but this game was a shocking result, i'm glad i forgot to place a bet because if i had bet i would have lost money. benfica, which is not a consistent team, managed to move to another phase, they were really lucky, but I think that in the other phase they will have to play against much stronger opponents, I hope they prepare well, as a fan of theirs I feel happy for having won although I would not have bet on them and had no hope that they could win this game

I think all Benfica fans were expecting to lose. Throughout the game, all I could think of was: when will Ajax score a goal?  Roll Eyes
But, despite not having played well, they played a very consistent game and the team was very well organized tactically, and that ended up paying off.

The next phase will be more difficult, since you will for sure play against a great team, which is fighting for the victory in the competition.
Do you have a team that you would prefer to play with Benfica?

I'm not surprised by Manchester United losing against Atletico Madrid on their own stadium.
Atletico Mardid is a very difficult opponent and Man United is in a great crisis(the game against Tottenham,where Christiano Ronaldo played outstanding and scored three goals was just a fluke).
I'm surprised that Ajax couldn't defeat Benfica,but those teams are pretty equal at their level and the chances were 50:50.
At this point I'm confident that Chelsea might get kicked out of the UEFA Champions League,due to the sanctions against Roman Abramovich.LOSC will definitely win,but the question is,will they score more than three goals?
Another trophy-less season for Manchester United after being knocked out of the Champions League. In response to Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick against Tottenham, the team started boasting on social media about their ability to defeat any team. You can never get anywhere with pride. For the second consecutive year, both Ronaldo and Messi were eliminated in the last 16 of the Champions League. Ronaldo and Messi's time appears to be waning, and it's time for others to step up.

Huge surprises yesterday night in Champions League games.I thought Manchester United and especially Cristiano would have done a lot more to get that qualifying which looked more than achievable in paper but they were surprised by a good Atletico Madrid yesterday night.They had all the second half to turn things around yet they could not.

Ajax is even a bigger surprise going out of Champions League especially considering their low odd for yesterday game that suggested they would have won with a lot of goal difference.Benfica is a strong team but is not at the levels it was before nevertheless yesterday they show good gameplay and qualified further.

manchester united 0 - 1 Atletico

no surprise i would only be surprised if manchester had won
For both team the performance expected was gotten. Benfica might not be consistent but the still have this special pressure in their game plan but for manchester united their game is a true definition of straight gambling. No consistency, no style of play, very little coordination. If by chance manchester united won whether by penalty shoot out or a lucky goal they won't have escaped the next phase. Athletico can actually make the next stage a bit competitive i am glad they won

Well the game is now over and Manchester United have to leave earlier than the other EPL teams Cheesy
United played quite well with a series of chances they got but it was a pity they couldn't return Atletico's lead.
What I regret in this match is only one thing, namely their back line which is still chaotic even though it has been heavily criticized.
MU dominated the game, but the MU players could not take advantage of the opportunities that existed so they had to accept defeat until the match was over and could not advance to the next round, the defense built by Atletico's players was very good because it was able to stop almost all attacks made by MU players, Atletico deserved a win over this match as they played very consistently and didn't do much wrong.

Odds for Juventus is really great, at 2.0 at the time I write this post. It shows that Juventus is not that favorite to win with that odds. You are right that both team has equal chance but Juventus has an advantage as they are going to play in front of their own supporters. Morata was on fire in Juventus last match, if he can be consistent and play as what he did in his last match then it will be good for the team. What I'm worrying about is about the fact that the previous 2 CL matches, United vs Atl Madrid and Ajax vs Benfica where the match ended up with the away team go to the next round. Both matches were ended in a draw in the first leg. Similar situation with Juventus vs Villareal, first leg was a draw in Estadio de la Ceramica and today we will watch the second leg that will be held in Allianz.  Will the away team go to the next round like what happened in the previous 2 CL matches?

Before this match started (Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid) there were already many people who doubted Manchester United could survive in the Champions League. And that's something that is natural because seeing the performances of Manchester United this season, which is far from good.
And I saw, before this match, only Ronaldo was Manchester United's biggest hope in the Champions League.

many doubted, yet slowly here it is Manchester United
I have enormous respect for this team, I have closely followed their stories and it is a team that I fear because of their pride and mindset

they have a champion's way of thinking

Atletico Madrid never needed to be at their best to beat them. and it goes to show you how ordinary Manchester United are at this particular moment.

The worst thing Manchester united did was to sack Mourinho, I didn't think it was the best decision. The board of the clubs need some rethinking before they hire or fire any manager again. For example, I still don't understand what the current manager is doing at the club and they should better get rid of him as fast as possible or they'll lose it before the season ends. The previous caretaker before the current manager would had been their best bet before they probably get a better replacement. The problem of Manchester united is the manager.

Why on earth is he still playing Maguire, there are better options that can actually defense so why play someone who has no clue on defending. Manchester united gets nothing from this season. They're finally out of the only completions they stood a chance at. The premier league titles or top 4 is out of their reach. Sadly they won't be competing in the champions league next season because I don't see them ending the season in a position that'll guarantee that.
Manchester United failed to advance to the next round of the UEFA Champions League after being defeated by Atletico Madrid on aggregate (1:2). Finished

Compared to Mourinho, van Gaal is even better. But Manchester United have not found the right person and Rangnick's figure is only temporary because his focus is not as the main coach. Whoever the main coach, I am sure that next season Manchester United will be the club that will win the UEFA Champions League, because Rangnick already understands the needs of the club.

Against Atletico Madrid last night was not an easy one for Manchester United because Atletico Madrid put all their players in front of Oblak after they took the lead in the 41st minute. And Maguire is not the right person to be a core player in the Man United squad let alone as captain.
The match was very interesting, the two teams were very balanced because they had almost the same quality, after being left behind, Manchester United played more aggressively but Atletico's defense was very strong for Manchester United players to pass.
even though in this match Manchester united greatly benefited from playing at home and Aggerat were still the same, but they could not take advantage of it.

I think whoever coaches Manchester United next season will not have a significant impact, especially to be able to win the UCL next season, because it is difficult to build a team in a short time and change character after Manchester left by coach Alex Ferguson who has coached Manchester United for a very long time, it's the same as Liverpool a few seasons ago.
in terms of players there is nothing wrong with Manchester United, they have an even squad even a lot of potential young players and some experienced players.

In my opinion, to be able to rise Manchester United only needs to trust one great coach to handle the team for a few seasons and give full confidence to recruit the players the coach wants according to his needs.

Atletico Madrid never needed to be at their best to beat Manchester United.
The kind of game Atletico Madrid is playing is kind of clear, I have once posted that Manchester United may win but that if they want to win, they have to score up to 2 goals because Atletico do not use to score much goals. Atletico Madrid is good at defence, though the team is not that in form but they still have the Champions League experience. It was not a surprise when I saw Atletico won with just 1 goal difference with Manchester United not able to score a single goal in its own home.

Congrats to the guest team (Atletico and Benfica), you deserve it. Ajax is not having luck today, even though has 70% of ball possession, after the whistle referee, the score is still 0-1. there is little chance in the 90'+6' 30" but Brobbey got offside. While MU, I know this will happen, because the team had become a habit, If they got the winning in a match before (vs Spurs), they will lose after, I'm not surprised. they are not worthy to be there.
The Ajax team has been eliminated from the champions league in the round of 16 after a late header by Darwin  Nunez. They conceded a goal in the 76th minutes, I'm sure that the team didn't see that coming, although they dominated the game with 69% ball Possession and while Benfica tried to manage a 31% ball Possession, though the match included enough of fouls, there was a total record of 24 fouls in the match and 5 yellow cards were booked. Benfica leaded with a score agregate of 3-2 which have seen them off to the next round of the champions League. Let's just assumed that it was not a winning night for Ajax.

Atletico Madrid managed to get rid of Manchester United from the race for the Champions League last 8 tickets. They won by a narrow score of 0-1 and made it 1-2 on aggregate. I'm not surprised by what happened in this game and even by this result because of the form Manchester United have had recently. Renan Lodi scored the only goal of the match, and it was enough to take Atletico Madrid to the next round.
Manchester United tried their best to win the match but Atletico Madrid players used all their strategies to defeated Manchester United 0-1 that caused a big disgrace to the Manchester United coach and to their fans. Manchester United coach have a lot of work to do to improve Manchester United because Manchester United was among the top team many teams used to afraid to meet in any tournament. It was so painful that Atletico Madrid has locked out Manchester United from the champion league today, I believe Manchester United coach will definitely bring new professional players into the team because of the poor performance of Manchester United players in this tournament.
Manchester United players are very good, they even have talented young players and some experienced stars. I think it just doesn't suit Rangnick's current coaching style, maybe he should pick players that suit his tactical needs next season.

in this match despite the defeat Manchester United played better, they did a lot of attacks and Shots On Target more to endanger the Atletico goal but it is a pity that the efforts of the Manchester United players always failed because the Atletico defense played very well and was disciplined in this match .

He had some good games to be fair to him but this was a very important match and the manager should have known better not to field an inconsistent defender.


... . Manchester United coach have a lot of work to do to improve Manchester United because Manchester United was among the top team many teams used to afraid to meet in any tournament.
This has alwas been the situation ever since SAF left. It's probably the management that should evaluate better before hiring or firing a manager.
