Barca vs Man City.
10 mins - 0-0
If City end up with 11 men, I'll be very surprised!
Lescott should probably have gone already.
Looks like the officials have their money on City!
A clear penalty not given and a goal ruled offside that clearly wasn't!
50 mins - Messi hits the post but City still hanging on!
51 mins - superb save by Valdes.
53 mins - brave save by Hart.
It's warming up now!
66 mins - the deadlock is broken....guess who by...Messi makes it 1-0 (3-0 on agg.)
76 mins - looks like the ref's changed allegiances now! Stonewall penalty for City not given!
I didn't think they'd keep 11 on the pitch! Zabaleta goes - 2nd yellow for dissent.
88 mins - well, well...Kompany makes it 1-1!
92 mins - Dani Alves repeats his first leg late goal...2-1.

"Pablo Zabaleta's dismissal was the 26th red card for an opponent of Barcelona and a 10th for an English team against the Catalan side. They are both Champions League records. (BBC Sport)"
Do they fall or are they pushed? The debate will rage!

Here we go again...............
4th meeting between Barca and Atleti this year - all draws so far - what will it be tonight?
30 mins gone and the season's taking its toll. Piqué and Diego Costa both off with pulled muscles.
Half-time coming up and Atleti are racking up the amarillas!
55 mins and Atleti get the away goal!
25 yard screamer from Diego......0-1.
Now it's the turn for Barca to rack up the amarillas.
71 mins and a superb Iniesta pass finds Neymar - and it's 1-1!
73 mins and Iniesta tries a long-range shot himself - great save by Courtois.
And the Atleti goal is now under siege!
But it ends in a 4th draw - but Atleti have the away goal!

Half time
Real vs Dortmund 2-0
Real coasting it! Bale after 3 mins and Isco after 27, both close shots in the box.
And I don't know what the weather's like in Mazarrón, but it's sheeting down in Madrid!
56 mins....Modric to Ronaldo ... 3-0.
That's it folks!
In addition to the one Welshman (!), we did have SIX Englishmen on the pitch........

It's a good job Real have a 3-goal cushion!
16 mins - Di Maria's penalty is saved - where's Ronaldo when you need him?
23 mins and Dortmund go 1-0 up (1-3 Agg).
31 mins and Chelsea do a Dortmund! 1-0 (2-3 Agg).
35 mins and the 3-goal cushion is nearly gone....2-0 to Dortmund (2-3 Agg).
65 mins and it should have been 3-0 to Dortmund. Hits the post with the goal wide open!
69 mins and a point-blank save by Casillas keeps Real in this tie. It's all Dortmund now.
86 mins and Chelsea get there before Dortmund!!! 2-0 (3-3 Agg - but they have the away goal!)
It's all over in Germany - Real hold on to win 3-2 on Aggregate.
FOUR mins additional time at Stamford Bridge....but the French look beaten.
And so they are....final score 2-0....Chelsea go through on the away goal.
So, what a brilliant night's football! The english and Spanish beat the French and Germans!
BUT, best of all, Brentford beat Crawley and Sheffield Utd. beat Rotherham! So the Bees pull back to within 3 points of Wolves and move to 9 points above the third place. So we only need 6 points from the last 15 to guarantee promotion - even if everyone else wins all their games!

Technology is great when it works....but when your PC 'freezes' it's a b****r!
Anyway.....we're off and running....just like Atleti!
Koke put them ahead in the 5th minute after a thunderous shot by Adrian came back off the crossbar. Barca have work to do now! (2-1 Agg.)
60 mins - and it's all happening in Munich! Before I had time to post Evra's magical moment, Bayern had replied!
1-1 - all level now - will there be extra time? (2-2 Agg.)
68 mins in Munich - and there won't be extra time now! Muller makes it 2-1 (3-2 Agg.)
75 mins - and they think it's all over in Munich! Arjen Robben - 3-1. (4-2 Agg.)
IT IS NOW! Bayern beat United.......
And it's all over at the Vincente Calderon - Atleti have beaten Barca!
So we've got two Spanish, one Brit and a German club in the semis. What are the odds on a Mourinho versus Real Madrid final???
Or, if both Spanish clubs go out...a Mourinho versus Guadiola final!!!

Mourinho (ex-Real) versus Ancelotti (ex-Chelsea) still on for the final then! As long as Ancelotti can get past Guadiola and Mourinho can get past Simeone!
Chelsea versus Atleti is the intriguing one. Torres (ex-Atleti) versus Courtois (officially current Chelsea!). Although it seems there's a clause in Courtois's contract that might stop him playing.
(p.m. edit............UEFA say Chelsea can't stop Courtois from playing! But, how will he feel?)

Just remember who the manager of Athletico Madrid is.
He's the cheating, diving Argie who got Beckham sent off in the 1998 world cup when he badly fouled him from the back, Beck's stupidly kicked out and the grease ball encouraged the ref to send little Davis off. England lose.

Well, not sure what you can say about that other than.....STALEMATE 0-0.
Chelsea didn't lose, but they didn't get the away goal.
Game on for next week at 'The Bridge'.

18 mins and Real soak up pressure and break out to get the first goal!
Contrao to Ronaldo to Benzema - GOAL!
Half-time 1-0.
Looks like Pepe's been running Los Bancos' training sessions. The poor things are rolling in agony every time they lose the ball.
And Howard Webb blows the whistle and ends it at 1-0.

15 mins and Real are on their way to Lisbon!
Ramos bullet header makes it 0-1 (agg 0-2).
Would you credit it.....19 mins and a SECOND Ramos header makes it 0-2 (agg. 0-3)
34 mins and the BBC make it 0-3!
Benzema to Bale to Cristiano - GOAL.
38 mins and you do have to wonder if these multi-million euro players have ANY brains.
Both Ramos and Alonso came into this game one card short of a suspension. The next game is now almost certainly the final and they both have been sliding madly into tackles. And so it came to pass - yellow for Alonso and he won't be playing in Lisbon! Ancelotti really should take Ramos off at half-time!
88 mins and Guardiola's night has finally collapsed... free kick from Ronaldo - straight UNDER the wall - makes it 0-4.

The coincidences on the second game continue........
35 mins....Torres (ex Atléti) makes it 1-0 for Chelsea past Courtois (at Chelsea next year?).
Will it be Mourinho of Chelsea (ex Real) versus Ancelotti of Real (ex Chelsea) for the final?
The other permutation of Madrid versus Madrid would certainly mean a night of fiestas around the capital.
43 mins and Chelsea go to sleep!
Tiago sees Juanfran coming in at the back post .... back to Adrián and it's 1-1 - Atléti have the away goal!
58 mins and Eto'o plays a forward's defending - penalty to Atléti - Diego Costa.......1-2....Atléti are on their way to Lisbon.
It's going to be Madrid versus Madrid!
71 mins - game over...Arda Turan in the right place to get the rebound from the bar and make it 1-3.
The visiting colchoneros (Google it!) fans are having a great trip to London.
An all-Iberian final next month.
Real Madrid versus Atlético Madrid in Lisbon.

Half time and Casillas has shown why he was dropped last year. Ancelotti will be regretting bringing him back.
Real 0-1 Atleti.
93mins - Sergio RAMOS !!! (6 goals in last 7 games)
1-1
110 mins - Would you believe it!! Bale has a mare of a game and ends up scoring (probably) the winning goal.
2-1
117 mins - All over.....Marcello makes it 3-1
120 mins - insult to injury...Ronaldo penalty makes it 4-1.
Atleti just ran out of legs. La Decima comes to pass. Well done Real.
