Champions League knockout phase

[fah-q]

Italian sides suffer from the pedestrian pace they play at, as soon as a they play a team with high intensity they cant handle it,

I don't think it's just that, they just don't have the quality they used to have due to a drop in talent in Serie A. They used to be able to squeeze the life out of the opponent no matter how they played against them.

They just can't cope these days because the quality isn't there.

Lack of funds for Italian teams. EPL has blown it out the water. That'll change though.

Best i've seen from Koscielny tonight, very strong performance.

Where did you get the 9/4 price on Barca @ btw?

Put £20 on them @ 11/5, on SkyBet.

I see a few of you are saying it's between Barca, Madrid and United...i agree to an extent but i wouldn't rule Chelsea out of it just yet.

[Rudo]

If i wasn't so skint i'd have put a load more on, great price.

Still is.

[Rudo]

What were the odds for Barca to win it outright before tonight's match?

[Craig_H]

I dunno, probably about 6/4 or maybe even 11/8.

Bookies werent leaving much to chance where Barca are concerned.
