Was definitely chippy...Shakhtar forced Bayern into stupid fouls, got into their heads...all the bookings make things more difficult next leg

Shaktar v Bayern was pretty entertaining from the standpoint of trash talk, dirty fouls etc. . .

I think Bayern will take care of business on home soil. Not sure how they stand but there main concern may be suspensions for the next round.

PSG V Chelsea

PSG were pretty impressive. I believe Chelsea is very good and didn't think PSG would dominate the match to quite that extent. Didn't think it would be much different in terms o strategy but simply that Chelsea would get a few more counters and the chances to goal wouldn't be so incredibly one sided.



Verratti is consistently living up to the budding superstar moniker for them (if he can stay on the pitch) but Matuidi can be really inconsistent and he was a handful yesterday.

However, it's so typical Mourinho to look a clear second best, get a goal against the run of play, narrowly avoid conceding a couple and going home with the advantage.
