Who Will Be Celebrating This Evening?

It's another big evening in the Champions League. The big match features Barcelona, teetering on the edge of elimination after succumbing 2-0 in Milan a couple of weeks back, hosting AC in the Nou Camp. In the other CL fixture tonight Schalke host Galatasaray after a 1-1 draw in Istanbul. Along with those, we've got a handful of Championship fixtures, including Mighty Leeds at home to Posh. Join me from around 3:45 pm EST.

So far, four sides have booked their passage to the Quarterfinals:

Juve (Italy) beating Celtic (Scotland)
Dortmund (Germany) beating Shakhtar (Ukraine)
PSG (France) beating Valencia (Spain)
and controversially Real (Spain) beating United (England)

Two more sides will book their passage today.

Afternoon, Dave. Surprised to hear that you're supporting Milan this afternoon.

3:34 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

It goes without saying that we need a good, solid win today and goals, goals, goals to repair our goal difference. Two goals or better would see up leap over Boro into 9th.

3:35 PM

We could also use some help from Barnsley and Cardiff today.

I just noticed that Hull City won 0-1 at Burnley to move up to second, but that doesn't matter at this point. You definitely could use help from Barnsley and Cardiff

Afternoon, MUR - great to have you on board!

What is your take on the sacking of your twin at Reading? Hiring Paolo would be a disaster, IMHO.

3:39 PM

Cheers BD. Great to have you here too. I just finished lunch and was doing some yard work.

3:40 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I would have preferred a score draw in that match but if anyone had to win, I'd have chosen Hull who are looking solid for second place.

I have a feeling Barca will play their normal game and change tactics if they haven't scored by halftime.

GOAL !!! 1-0 BARCA . IT'S THAT MAN MESSI!

3:50 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Mesi with a great shot... block it!

3:50 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Messi with his trademark left-footed curler. No backlift at all once he had received the ball back on the edge of the box.

3:50 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

what a shot from Messi in the top corner.

3:51 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Barca are in full flow now.

3:51 PM

Credit to Barca. They played their normal possession game and Messi scored from the edge of the box with little to space.This tie is wide open

3:52 PM

Tony Cottee sounds bored with Cardiff v. Leicester.

3:52 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Your thoughts about Reading sacking Brian McDermott, lads?

3:53 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Poor by Al Shaarwawy. He got behind the Barca defense and shot straight at the keeper with just the keeper to beat.

3:54 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Big penalty shout in the other CL match. Gala might have been ahead already.

3:54 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That is one frightening hairstyle.

3:54 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I was completely surprised. He got them promoted and who else would have done more with that squad. Hiring Paolo would be a disaster.

"Decent start to the game." "Leeds have starter the brighter..." Sounds good. I want Leeds goals.

Oh - off the bar from Xavi! And then Messi missed the header from close in. Big chance!

OH! GREAT SAVE BY THE KEPER FROM A SIMILAR EFFORT TO THE mESSI GOAL, THEN mESSI HEADED THE REBOUND INTO THE SIDE NETTING.THE ORIGINAL EFFORT INIESTA WAS PUSHED ON TO THE BAR BY ABBIATTI.

Posh will make it tough because only one point separates bottom from fourth from bottom. A tight relegation race.

Schalke take the lead vs Gala while Amborsini fouls Messi just outside the box.Poor free kick inot the wall.

4:06 PM

Shrewsbury lead 0-2 at the Fake Dons

4:07 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I can still see Milan perhaps scoring on the break and remember that 1-3 would be good enough for them.

4:07 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Kevin Prince Boateng booked for a foul. Harsh, IMHO.

4:07 PM

Bloody hell - Posh have been "bossing" the match, apparently. Nearly 0-2 down. I am speechless.

4:08 PM

I sure hope sop, but they can't seem to put more than three passes together.

Fortunately for us, Barnsley have taken the lead against Brighton. But we need to turn this one around. I'd settle with 2-1 at this point.

A header wide off a cross from XAvi. Flamini , the ex Gunner, getting treatment on the touch line.

4:10 PM

I don't blame you .Leeds need a winning streak and loses from four other teams.

Milan lead 2-1 on agg as do Schalke.

Wahay - the match at Elland Road has "turned a bit."

Still - Tom Lees has gone off injured replaced by Jason Pearce.

4:13 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great defending by Constant on Danny Alves as he wins a free kick. He sure was as Flamini enters the field with a new jersey before he was permitted.

4:14 PM

Still 0-0 in the top of the table clash between Cardiff and Leicester.

4:15 PM

Just a change of momentum over to Leeds. But we're still 0-1 down.

Looks like Drogba's hyper extended his knee and won't be able to continue.

4:17 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I see. That's a good sign. Southend take the lead vs the Real Dons. That is good news for Argyle, who host Bradford City

4:18 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Bad news for Gala who trail 1-0 on the night and 2-1 on agg. They need a goal.

4:19 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Leeds just had a real chance. I'd love to see us equalize by half-time.

4:19 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Well wide by Danny Alves. I could see this one going to extra time.

4:19 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Me too. I sure hope so.

4:20 PM

The Barca possession stat is meaningless. It's what they do with that possession.They had a lot in the first leg too.

4:20 PM

Swindon take the lead at Brentford in a promotion six pointer. Life without Paolo going well.

4:21 PM

Simon's Preston take the lead at Notts County. They are undefeated since Simon took over.

ALves had a chance to pick out a teammate but his final ball was poor.

4:22 PM

A cross from Danny Alves is booted out for a corner.

Alves has been poor tonight, but Alan Parry said he's had a poor seasin.

OHHHHH - off the post there from Niang as he ran through. That could have been the tie for Milan. Barca fans breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

4:23 PM

4:30 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Messi scored 1:09 after Nyand muissed the sitter. Barca lucky as it was a definite hand ball in the box by Pique off the corss by Boateng. The break started when Montolivo cleared a corner and a back header from MAsch allowed Nyang to shoot.

4:30 PM

Hard to see Schalke come back from that one and without Drogba. too.One minute of stoppage time.
