GWT: Champions League Round of 16

[Alklha]

Good half for Chelsea. They looked to be completely out of depth in the first 15 minutes and then had 5 good minutes and a crossbar.
That goal seemed to hurt them but Hazard and Willian put them back in the game.

All in all that 1-1 scoreline is rather warranted.
PSG needs to play much better than this offensively. Di Maria needs to get his **** together or go to the bench instead of Cavani.

PSG were really cautious going forward, they never really committed many players. I wonder if they'll open up more to begin the second half, or if the fact they were still able to get in behind Chelsea a number of times will lead them to continue as they are.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I left for ten minutes to go do a delivery and missed two goals. Needless to say I'm mad From what I saw, 1-1 is a fair halftime score. Costa should've put that home though.

 

[Evilo]

Pedro has done some great work defensively on Maxwell.

 

[Evilo]

Vintage Hazard tonight.

 

[Epictetus]

Love the overlap runs by the fullbacks. Wish Liverpool utilized that in their attacking game more.

 

[maclean]

You fools!

 

[maclean]

If Paris can't turn all this pressure into a goal soon they're going to regret it..

 

[Evilo]

Great reffing so far BTW.

 

[Virtanen18]

Chelsea's jerseys are sick.

 

[Evilo]

Cavani on the way.

 

[Evilo]

Cavani proving a point !

 

[HajdukSplit]

nice finish by Cavani, class

 

[Alklha]

Pathetic from Courtois

 

[maclean]

Didn't think he was going to be able to put that in!

 

[maclean]

Pathetic from Courtois

Cech wouldve had it

 

[Evilo]

Great ball calling by Cavani, great lob pass by Di Maria and nice finish.

 

[Evilo]

Here comes M. Pastore himself !

 

[Evilo]

Nice save Courtois !

 

[Evilo]

2-1 final and I'd say fair score. Chelsea deserved something out of that game.

Apparently, Pastore has re-injured himself playing 5 minutes. Same story all year long. Comes back after a month and goes out injured.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

2-1 a fair result. Courtois probably should've done better on the Cavani goal, but he was amazing besides that so I won't fault him. Awesome performance from Cahill too. Feel disappointed with the result, but had you told me going into it that we'd snag an away goal and keep it close then I woulda taken it and ran. Sets up a good second leg.

 

[maclean]

I'd agree, fair result, Chelsea has an away goal to work with so all's not lost for them

 

[HajdukSplit]

Benfica scored a winner in the 90th minute, didn't see it but Zenit were also down to 10 men

 

[Alklha]

Costa looked absolutely useless too often tonight.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

First loss since Mourinho was sacked, btw

 

[Bures Elbow]

Benfica should have won by 2/3 goals.

Gaitain missed a huge chance in front of the keeper, launched it right at him.

1-0 heading to Russia, we got a chance..especially once Salvio works his way back into the starting XI in place of Pizzi and Nelson Semedo replaces Andre Almeida
