    Well done Manchester City in overcoming Atletico's intimidación and provocation. Now they have to work out how to beat a team.vastly experienced in the more subtle arts of gamesmanship, as well.as subduing Benzema and Modric

    Sad news about Freddy Rincon - one of the great entertainers in an extremely entertaining Colombian team -

    Leipzig miles better than anyone else left in it - theirs to lose.

    Their favourites but I wouldn't like to call it as I doubt anyone would have the called the competition so far. Lyon were CL semi finalists two seasons ago and Moyes just bitched them off in their own back yard.

    Now that is certainly how you win away...

    I wonder if Man United feel a little silly now? Or whether that is unreasonable as he didn’t seem ready then and has really grown since that didn’t work out for him

    Rangers back ahead

    Rangers take the lead in ET.

    Would love to see them play West Ham in the final, though I'm not how well Seville would handle those sorts of numbers!

    Don't think he would ever have worked out there tbh, especially given he removed all the back room staff as soon as he joined. Good to see he's got his mojo back though.

    I still think the immediate Fergie replacement was always destined to fail. Particularly with Gill leaving at the same time (which was a monumental **** up).

    And 80k+ of them, mostly on the beer and all on the same day.

    Couldn't see anything going wrong there...

    I’m not sure Gill leaving was their choice but I could be misremembering. I’m wondering who the best sacrificial lamb manager could have been post fergie (in hindsight). Perhaps it was him
