UEFA Champions League

Great result for Spurs -- they easily could have won, too.

Impressive to get a point at the Bernabéu. Lloris was fantastic.

Very happy with City's result against a strong team in Napoli.

Think Spurs will mount a proper challenge yet again. Easily 60 goals in their top 3 attackers, good defense/keeper, and very well-coached. 

From early returns, PL is 'back' in the CL and international stage. City boat racing people, Spurs easily could have nicked all three points today, United solid (if untested), Chelsea with an impressive win vs. Atletico, and Liverpool racking up the goals (even if the results aren't quite there).

Thought Spurs would have trouble with their group considering how well both Real and BVB have done historically in the CL (past few years especially) but I'm impressed. All 5 PL teams currently leading (or tied for 1st) their groups. Could see 3-4 making it to the quarterfinals at least.

So Leipzig is in second through three matches but Dortmund is struggling to finish third and qualify for Europa?  Interesting.

Chelsea blows 2-0 lead but now 3-3.  Conte takes off Hazard for Willan?  hmm. 

Update:  I have to say it Willan is done.  He has been dreadful lately.

Great win for City, game really changed after Ghoulam's injury. Glad Aguero broke the record as well.

Impressive performance by Spurs as well. Looks like a couple PL teams could do damage in the UCL this year.

Also, if you havent seen El Shaarawy's strike against Chelsea yesterday, check it out. Absolute screamer.

Amazing...Real vs PSG.  Chelsea finally avoid PSG but get Barca.  This should be fun to watch.

BAYERN MUNICH vs BESIKTAS

CHELSEA vs BARCELONA

SHAKHTAR DONETSK vs ROMA

REAL MADRID vs PARIS ST-GERMAIN

SEVILLA vs MANCHESTER UNITED

PORTO vs LIVERPOOL

BASEL vs MANCHESTER CITY

JUVENTUS vs TOTTENHAM

[pantherphan96]

love the draw for City, not a walk in the park by any means but probably the best draw they could get.

Porto-Liverpool should be an entertaining game as well.

[Goondal]

I am more than satisfied with this draw for Bayern.  I guess getting Besiktas is a way to make up for drawing Real in the QF last year.

[pantherphan96]

Juve, City, Porto, United, PSG, Roma, Barca, Bayern advance IMO.

[pantherphan96]

City took care of business in the first leg, Tottenham deserved more but still a great result away at Juve.

[Goondal]

I saw both Juve and City were up 2 early.  Seems it was not enough for the reigning runners-up.  Now they have to win or head home early.

we about to see Phil Foden start a Champions League game next leg
