2014-15 UEFA Champions League

[Who]

Anyone tuned in?

I wager a TP bet that PSG will win this match.

I think Chelsea should win. They have the more balanced team.

PSG lots of stars but not well built.

[Who]

I think PSG suffering lack of creativity tonight.

Veratti is only creative player in three man central midfield. Matuidi an all-rounder. David Luiz is a make-shift midfielder. He does some good things but a lot of bad things as well. Lacks discipline especially in his passing (over-aggressive, wasteful in possession).

Playing Cavani and Ibrahimovic together costs PSG another creative attacking midfielder. I do not like Cavani playing out wide. I think it is wasteful of his talent. I also think it fails to make best use of Ibrahimovic who would combine better with a true attacking midfielder. Lavezzi is a great dribbler but he makes a lot of bad decisions. Inconsistent with end product. I do not rate him highly.

Chelsea playing a very defensive lineup tonight with Fabregas as deep lying attacking midfielder with a box-to-box (Ramires) and holding midfielder (Matic) behind him. Chelsea keeping numbers right in front of back four. Very strong defensive formation. Hope to keep clean sheet and hit PSG on the counter. I think they have picked the right team to achieve this + I do not think PSG has enough creativity to pick apart such a tough defensive formation.

-- Why I expect Chelsea to do the job today and win over two legs.

Beautiful. Three Chelsea defenders combine for goal off a set-piece. John Terry collects semi-cleared ball out on the wing, crosses it in, Gary Cahill with the back of his heel flicks it as Ivanovic gets free and smashes in the header. Three defenders ... all involved in and around penalty area for the goal.

3 defenders combine to score the goal!

Who made that pass to Ivanovic? That was brilliant.

I think I'm seeing what youre saying.

It looks like PSG can't even break through.

Nice goal by Cavani. Love headed goals from wide play.

Chelsea still in pole-position with the away goal here. A 1-1 result is good for them.

[Who]

Oh my goodness, great play by PSG. Beautiful footwork by Ibrahimovic. Fantastic save by Courtois and great block by Azpilicueta. Chelsea lucky there.

@65 minutes - Incredible effort by Cavani to chase down Ivanovic, win possession and draw the foul in a dangerous area of the pitch.

@75 minutes - I think Chelsea should bring on Oscar for Fabregas. Get more quickness and pressing into midfield. Cesc looks tired. I'd bring on Cuadrado for Willian too. Fresh legs and quickness to counter attack. Good defensive player too.

@80 minutes - wonderful close dribbling by Cavani to slip past a few defenders but hits the shot just a small bit wide. Pastore coming on. I love his game. I hope he leaves PSG and moves somewhere that will allow him to be a true #10. Build a team around him.

@90 minutes - Ibrahimovic coming close again with the header. Impressive getting on the end of that cross.

Mission accomplished for Chelsea. A goal-scoring draw. Ahead on away goals.

Chelsea should be happy with this result. So many chances for PSG in the second half and none went in. The defending got a bit lackluster there.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

Wow. Shaktar Donetsk manage to get a 0-0 draw against Bayern Munich. That's something I didn't see coming.

Edit:

Xabi Alonso Red Carded as well. Pretty solid result for Shaktar.

[ederson]

Although they are pretty much eliminated i liked Schalke .... Considering they played with a teeanger as a keeper , Draxler out , Farfan out, Huntelaar out... They put a solid efford out there and deserved a goal
