I think another surprise is happening today.Just when 6 minutes to go to full time Lyon is leading the way.I think we may see a final between two teams we never saw before facing each other in the final like if Lyon wins tonight and faces Bayern Munchen in the final.For sure crazy results are happening.
The hell
! Sterling just missed a sitter ?! That's probably it for City tonightYes, 3 - 1! It's game over 😱😱😱😱

0-1 at half-time for Lyon. Manchester City completely disappointed, although Lyon did not play well. Only one good chance in the first 45 minutes for ManCity.
So far, my bet is working out for under 3.5 goals. Hope it comes down to two more goals at the most. If the match goes on like this, I'm hopeful.

Not following the game but when I saw the score... Lyon scored a goal after 24 minutes... Well that was unexpected.. City 0 - 1 Lyon. Bayern like this!
I'm thinking of betting on Man City to win, the odd is currently at @ 2.18 but I'm having a very strange feeling about this game tbh, this is like the best chance for City to go far in the UCL

Xavi will not go there at this moment, he is a smart guy and he knows he will get his chance sooner or latter. Would be really stupid of him to squander that chance at this moment when there is so much wrong in the Barca.
Why not Mauricio Pochettino? He's free right now and did a fantastic job with the Spurs.
But I think Barca needs more changes, not just the coach. Bartomeu should have the decency to step down. Especially after "Barçagate". Imho a fresh start isn't possible with him as president.
It was a shocking performance from Barcelona, something's seriously wrong with that team. I don't know how it's possible to end up with Vidal as a CAM in a CL quarterfinal after spending a billion euros on the team in the last 5 seasons. That alone is worthy of being kicked out of it.
I hope Xavi does not go there. It will just swallow him and spit him out after a year or 2.
Vidal as CAM really irked me, I think they have several more players who would play that position better. I can only justify that move by the fact that Messi and Suarez don't do enough pressure on opposition defense and Setien wanted that pressure and put a working player that far up to provide it.I hope Xavi does not go there. It will just swallow him and spit him out after a year or 2.

So bad defensive play from Barcelona.
It is obvious that they have problems in the defensive part and I hope that management is going to do something for that.
Now Bayern is the favorite for winning the CL title.

I'm really surprised to see Bayern portrayed as such strong favorites by the bookmakers. I'd agree that Bayern is a favorite, I think they will win tonight, but 3,50 odds on Barcelona make me want to try it. It is a value bet for sure, Barcelona is still a team that can beat anybody and can't be considered a favorite against maybe 3-4 teams in the world.
I would have gone with Bayern for ~2.50, but I can't find anything close to it anywhere. So I'm going with Barcelona, playing the odds and not the team.

This will age well after yesterday
The bookies really got me on the hook, fair play to them.It was a shocking performance from Barcelona, something's seriously wrong with that team.

The world: That was a unique victory of the Germans against Brazil. They'll never be able to repeat that again against a world class team.
Bayern: Hold our Weizenbiers and bring us our Lederhosens.
For tonight, I think ManCity is the clear favourite. Unfortunately, the odds are not that good to go for a win of ManCity. What might work well is less 3.5 goals for 1.82.

call me crazy, but i will put handicap -2 on Lyon, do not think that they will be beaten easily, and even in case of lost match with one goal, it is a winning bet, and quote @2.25 seems pretty good for this stage of competition
It's good imo. I think Man City is gonna destroy Lyon.
... Call me crazy too but I got City winning both halves. Not HT/FT but winning both halves independent of each other at 2.39.
Edit: Typos...
call me crazy, but i will put handicap -2 on Lyon,
You probably mean Manchester City -2. It is not really a crazy bet though considering that Manchester City is one of the favourite to win the Champions League aside from Munich. Not to mention that Lyon has over 10 odds ML in most bookies that kinda show how different both team are in terms of quality.
City will try to show it can fits against Bayern in the next round so I assume they will attack from the beginning and a goal in the first 15-20 minutes is likely to happen!
City never really defend though they always goes full throttle from the very first minutes so this could be another crazy game like yesterday. FYI, Manchester City scored 102 goals with only 35 goals conceded in premier league this season . Best team in terms of goal scored even better than Liverpool which scored 85 goals
Yesterday Barcelona played the most weak-willed game in 10 years. No fight. Losing the ball and not trying to take it away is a shame.
Some Barca players are trolling in the defence sometimes, feel like a team playing football for the first time. But let's not forget that Bayern was so awesome too.For today game I think City gonna win with +2 goals difference at least. City will try to show it can fits against Bayern in the next round so I assume they will attack from the beginning and a goal in the first 15-20 minutes is likely to happen!
Lyon: ok City you can win, gladly
City: hell no, please you first, you can advance
Lyon: I insist, you are better (hell, don't wanna get a champions league record of received goals in a match vs Bayern!)

Bayern Munich totally outplayed Barcelona yesterday, I guess Bayern Munich would be the favorites team to win this season Uefa Champions League now with their outstanding performance against Barcelona yesterday. Manchester City are lucky as they would not need to play against Juventus after Lyon eliminated Juventus from the tournament, Manchester City are still much stronger than Lyon in the player line ups and I do not think Lyon could be so lucky to eliminate another favorite team out of the tournament this round.
City aren't not that lucky tho as Bayern are waiting them in semifinal.Rahim Sterling continue get scorer again and Gabriel Jesus take one goal for tonight, I think Lyon is easy for Machester City and not have
hard player on Lyon team.

What a score.I thought Barcelona would keep up with Bayern but they conceded 4 goals in just the first half and they were not able to respond.I am impressed by Bayern Munchen that they did not stop even though they were leading by a comfortable 3 goals margin.They are the team to beat now and after this game I think they have the highest chances to win the Champions League this season.
