GWT: Champions League Round of 16 Part II

[Juve]

Omg!!!!

I am glad we have Ronaldo instead of Higuain. A crippled Ronaldo is better than a "fully" healthy Higuain.

LOL

Most champions league goals by a long shot, most goals in the final, 3 straight titles. You can't even dispute it, although I'm sure you will anyways.

Yea, it's pretty clear.

 

[koyvoo]

Ronaldo is the greatest player in Champions League history.

 

[hatterson]

"Best CL player in history" is a different title than "best player to play in the CL"

Ronaldo pretty clearly has the best CL resume in history and there really shouldn't be any debate about it.

 

[Juve]

Take out Mandzu! #freeDybala

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Higuain is a good player, but he always crumble under pressure. You can't win with a player like that, that's why Perez sold him back then and kept Benzema.

 

[Pouchkine]

Who needs Dybala! Now will Atletico play?

Apparently a requirement to be best at anything in this sport is to be born in Argentina.

 

[Il Mediano]

lets not turn this into a Ronaldo vs Messi debate , please.

this has been a great game , and I'd love to hear from the hot-take artists who wrote off Juve like they're nothing.

I hate Juve, but they're a top 5 team - easily.

 

[Juve]

Higuain would have bottled this game the same way he lost it when he played us. You can't trust him.

I honestly didn't want Ronaldo at first, because of his age and price tag. He's exceeded my expectations. He's worth every penny. I just wish he would stop insisting on taking every free kick.

The only reason I didn't write then off is because they've got Ronaldo. I actually told a friend last night that he'd get a hat trick today and Juve would go through. The only player in the world that can turn a UCL tie against an elite team on it's head like this under the insane amount of pressure that Juve currently have on them.

 

[YNWA14]

Ronaldo is certainly a special player.

 

[Theokritos]

Meanwhile in Manchester...

 

[hatterson]

Yea Shalke's chance was to keep that lead they had at home and try to park the bus.

With them needing at least 2 goals, they didn't stand a chance.

Ronaldo's made the difference , but lets not take away from the fact Juve has utterly dominated this game. It hasn't been remotely close.

 

[Pouchkine]

With the final at Atletico's stadium this could be the end of Simeone there.

Absolutely. Bernardeschi, Spinazzola, and Cancelo have all been fantastic but at the end of the day you need someone to convert that dominance into goals.

 

[Juve]

Dybala for Spinazzola? Take out a wing back who is playing well instead of Mandzu?

 

[S E P H]

Lol, who was the bloke(s) that said Atletico were safe to go through?

US bumped our clocks up an hour on Sunday because we love useless changes, screwing with our bodies natural rhythm, and costing the economy hundreds of millions a year for no benefit at all.

So that means they're kicking off at 4PM eastern today instead of 3PM like the games last week.

More daylight is somehow bad? I die inside when the sun goes down at 5 PM during normal time in the dead of winter.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Chiellini dives 3 times in a span of 10 seconds

 

[Albatros]

It's between him and Messi...

What about Seedorf? Won it for three different clubs from three different leagues.

 

[hatterson]

Apparently Morata has the strongest pushes in the history of mankind.

 

[Evilo]

Chiellini is awfully good at diving. Much better than every forward out there. Dove in the first leg too to save a goal.

 

[Il Mediano]

Feels like a Mandzukic goal is coming
