It's a night of some thrilling match-ups with quarter-final places well and truly on the line:

I'll be following the Liverpool vs. Real match. Here are the line-ups:
Real Madrid team: Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Cannavaro, Pepe, Heinze, Robben, Lassana Diarra, Gago, Sneijder, Raul, Higuain. Subs: Dudek, Saviola, Marcelo, Guti, Metzelder, Miguel Torres, Van der Vaart.
Liverpool team: Reina, Arbeloa, Skrtel, Carragher, Aurelio, Alonso, Mascherano, Kuyt, Gerrard, Babel, Torres. Subs: Cavalieri, Dossena, Hyypia, Lucas, Ngog, Spearing, Kelly.
Liverpool of course take a one-nil victory and a precious away goal with them back to Anfield tonight. Rafa has claimed that the Reds won't start out to defend that lead but who would blame them, eh?
After a lot of searching, I've finally settled on an Adthe stream. They've got the Juve vs. Chelski one up from ITV 4, while Liverpool vs. Real seems to be on ITV 1 and there's a soap opera on at the moment. I'm hoping that their coverage will start at 3:30 EST.
Of the eight teams, Bayern are the only side virtually assured passage tonight. They take a four goal advantage from the away leg back home to Munchen with them.
My prediction for tonight:
Bayern, Chelsea, Liverpool and Villareal to progress to the quarters.
Along with the CL matches today, there is a full slate of Championship and Division 1 and 2 matches, including Leeds hosting Yeovil at Elland Road.
Come on, you Whites!
Hi Bob
I have ESPN with Costa
I will tune in Chelsea
I think I agree with you about the winners
Good luck Leeds
Wow, Real Madrid have never played at Anfield!!
The Adthe stream is up and running albeit in Spanish. I've got the sound muted on that while I'm still trying to get the stream for Chelsea up. The ITV 4 stream seems to have disappeared.
Afternoon, Dave!
I'm unfortunately going to have to dash off in a few minutes to set up my exam and I'm hoping that I'll be able to watch it surreptitiously while their working. We'll see.
TYPICAL COSTA
There are only three Spanish on Real Madrid tonight and there are FOUR in the Costa line up
Hope to see you soon
Torres almost in. Great turn and great save!
Mascherono volleys and the keeper saves brilliantly on to the crossbar!!
All Costa
I finally have a link for Chelski
No luck with atdhe
mp2p Veetle link is working
Free kick chance for Stevie G. He hits it low saved easily by Cassillas
Real have their first chance. Headed wide from a free kick. Should have done better
Nedved down hurt in Turin
Bayern score the first goal in Europe tonight.
Aren't they bored scoring against Sporting?
Nedved looks really uncomfortable. He walked off but is touching his ribs. He is on his knees now in pain
He is back on but still looking dodgy
Watford have taken the lead against Forest
Nedved is finally off.
Not good news for the Italians
One nil to COSTA!
Useless defending. A long ball just bounces on, Kuyt cuts it to a wide open Torres
Real needed to score two goals anyway tonight so ther task really hasn't changed
Juventus have taken the lead against Chelski
Iaquinta with the goal. Game on!
Liverpool almost score from a header by Skirtel
Juve have a shot saved by Cech
Forest has tied it up
Costa are all over Real
Torres is brilliant. Get it all out tonight and be knackered for Saturday morning please
He sets up a chance for Gerrard. saved again
Stevie G in the book for not a nice looking slide tackle
Penalty to Costa
Handball in the box by Gabby Heinze
I don't think it was. Off the top of the shoulder
Gerrard to take it...two nil.. sent him the wrong way
Southend take the lead at Brighton
What a free kick by Schneider.. Saved
I hope United do the same tomorrow to Inter that Costa are doing to Real.
THEY ARE ALL OVER THEM!!!
I'm back - sounds as if Liverpool are home and dry. How about Chelski?
They don't seem to be creating much and are still losing 1-0
As for Costa, they have been brilliant
Yeeessss! Beckford sticks in his 26th of the season on 25 minutes. We're 1-0 up.
They look like they are going to score every time they come forward
That goal has us up to fifth over Oldham who aren't playing tonight and Scunthorpe who are in a 0-0 dogfight with Peterboro.
Well done.
I missed that one
Bayern are now SEVEN UP against Sporting
Cambridge fall behind to Mansfield.
Podolski scores another for Bayern. They've got to be bored with Sporting at this point.
Millwall have taken the lead
3-0 Bayern! An own goal to add misery.
Bayern are three up
UNCLE
Real have a shot but it is hit right at Pepe
Masherano is having a hissy fit!!
He is booked and out of the next game but he could been booked again for his outburst
NEWSFLASH!!
SPORTING HAS SCORED!!
Free kick chance for Chelski... they have created nothing but have a chance from 25 yards out to the left of the goal... Drogs hits the post and it ends it up in Buffon's lap. Chelski think it went in!
AND MY LINK HAS DIED!
FOUR FOR BAYERN
I lose my link and Chelski score.
Essien with the goal.
Not sure if the ball was in
Juventus now have to score two
Half time at both games
I now have the ITV link working.
They seem to think it was a goal
We're back down to sixth with that Scunthorpe goal. I reckon a draw between them and Peterboro is probably the best result.
Lovely jubbly! Neil Kilkenny with our second goal just before half time. A bit of comfort for us.
Looking good for you
That goal was so big for Chelsea. They were losing and now Juve need to score THREE(two more)
Drogs free kick was in!
Gerrard start off where the ended the first half
Costa are three up!!
This could be United Roma all over again
Villareal score the goal they needed against Pana
Into the second half now and Gerrard has scored a third for Liverpool. They're strolling it. Who would have thought that they'd have a 4-0 aggregate score against Real?! Rafa does seem to have a nose for Europe.
My computer link for Chelsea is going strong.
My TV just went out for the Costa game!
Cambridge tie it up with Mansfield.
They could be back in the league
Looks as if my predictions are all coming up trumps then. No wonder I'm at the top of the Ronaldo the Score league. I am Nostradamus.
Fifty minutes in and Yeovil have yet to get a shot off at us. Lovely. Long may it continue.
Cricket update
England score 545 and the Windies answer with 544
Last night and this morning England rush to 237 and now have the Windies 107 for 7 with about 15 overs to go. England need to win the match to tie the series
Gerrard almost gets his hat-trick
At the bottom of the Championship, Norwich and Soton are drawing 0-0 with their respective opponents while Charlton are 0-1 up. Not a bad day for them then.
Why would Ronaldo want to go to this lot!!!
Leeds score again... Beckford!
Are the England side a bit better than they have been or are the Windies worse?
Beckford with #27....! I'm doing a little dance of joy internally while my students are working away on their midterms.
Pana have tied it up with Vllareal.
All square there
Norwich have taken the lead against high flying Cardiff
Pana have evened things up. It would go to extra time there if it stayed the same.
A bit of both
Because he'd be paid a packet, he'd be the king of Madrid and he don't much like the black pudding, lad. Ecky thump!
I am not liking tomorrow.
I am very nervous
It reminds me of Real in 2000. 0-0 in Spain but we lose at home.
We played Monaco or Marseilles in 98
0-0 in France and then we draw 1-1 and then our next match was at home to Arsenal and we lose that one too and lose the league.
We have Costa on Saturday!
Bayern must have gone to sleep. They haven't added to their 9-1 aggregate lead yet in the second half.
Stockport have taken the lead
Sotton have taken the lead too
Cech gets booked for handballing it outside the box right by the byline
Nothing to be nervous about, lad. Inter were rubbish at the weekend and even if you lose to Costa on the weekend, you're still going to stroll the Championship. You should be worrying about United is going to capture the Ryder Cup.
Beckford with his HAT-TRICK
Trez has a header saved by Cech
Beckford with his hat-trick. There is no stopping him! 4-0! 4-0! 4-0! 4-0!
I think they have a shot... Tiger will probably do his knee in again
I don't think we can win the America's Cup. Our chances are sunk....boom boom
Juve are going to have to score soon or they're toast.
If you still Ruud, Fergie could enter him in the Grand National with Paul Scholes riding him.
Sorry, I can't stop meself.
Even better - Peterboro have equalized! We're back up to fifth. If Jermaine can stay fit, we may just have a chance of sneaking into the playoffs.
I have to be off to class now...good luck getting #5 tonight!
The guy sitting in the left hand row is cheating!!
Juve down to ten men
I am off
Cheerio
Villareal have scored a second. That should do them.
Cheers, mate! Talk to you tomorrow.
Van Bommel has stuck in a fifth goal for Bayern. 10-1 on agg. there.
2-2 now between Juve and Chelski with a penalty from Del Piero met by a goal from Drogba. It's 2-3 on aggregate with only a few minutes left.
Klose has added a penalty. 6-1 on the night; 11-1 on aggregate. Wow!
Blimey - it seems that the ghost of Gerd Muller has popped up and scored a seventh for Bayern. 12-1 on agg now!
Dossena has added to Real's misery. It's a 4-0 comprehensive drubbing for the Spanish who will definitely be licking some wounds. The English sides, if that's what you want to call them, are looking fairly invincible tonight.
Peterboro now 2-1 up against Scunthorpe, who drop to 7th.
Bayern have mercifully finished their rout. It ends 7-1 on the night (12-1 on aggregate). It sets down a marker but I have a feeling that it's a one-off. Bayern are the kind of side who, when they come up against a really rubbish defense like tonight, have the weapons to put some goals by you, but can they do it against quality oppo? Don't think so.
And Liverpool have finished a magnificent performance against Real Madrid. 4-0 on the night; 5-0 on aggregate. Wow!
Villareal have completed their 1-2 win on the night; 2-3 on aggregate. They're safely through a tricky fixture.
And Chelski have wrapped it up against Juve. 2-2 on the night; 2-3 on aggregate for the Blues. So that's all my predictions in the bag.
Great night for the English - I'm hoping for more of the same tomorrow for the Arse and United.
Finally, the mighty LUFC have finished a stonking 4-0 win which should do the Whites a lot of good in the confidence department. Same again at the weekend, please, lads!
Cheerio from me. Chatter with you tomorrow. Happy birthday again to the evergreen Sir Trev!
