I am not a supporter of any but Roma deserves proper respect for passing on after loosing 4-1 on the first leg.

Edit: By the way, with City and Barcelona out things are getting easier for Real Madrid.

Man City

Barcelona

What a great night...

This was the worst Barcelona performance in the last 20 years at least. Parking the bus, long balls... wtf?
Fagverde should stay in the Colosseum with lions to keep him company.

The second class club eliminated in 1/4 for third consecutive year

The smurf of la Pampa dissapeared 180 minutes

Manchester City have been unbeatable this year. Liverpool really shook them up.

Apart from what I think about Barça and Messi (they are decaying and were/are only great under very favourable conditions) I have to say that the physical management of the team and of Messi is simply catastrophic, what use was there to make Messi play 90 min. last saturday for a match and a competition that is in the bag ? So that Messi could make another hat-trick against the likes of Leganés and Getafes ? And then you say that is CR7 the one who plays for his personal stats !

No much more arguments, as time passes by, season after season is becoming more evident what I wrote days ago, out of their confort zone (Spanish league & playing vs 10 men) when matches get tough, intense and physical (when the refs allow such a game) Barça and Messi shit themselves, another 1/4 finals fiasco for them. In reality this is not new, I've seen similar perfomances vs Bayern (7-0 aggregate) and last season vs Juventus, post Guardiola happens more often than not once they reach the decisive stages.

Because resting Messi in a game where he spends 90% of the time walking around would have made a big difference yesterday.
This Barcelona team is crap, the fact that they won the easiest league of their history is another mark of Messi's legacy. 2 weeks unfit and it's over.
That said, what Valverde did yesterday is probably the worst coaching performance I can remember.

A Ronaldo fan talking about toughness though is something new. When was the last time someone touched him in a football pitch and he didn't go down as if he was shot?
