Two games this week were a team was 4 goals down from the first leg. Both couldn't have gone any different.

Arsenal lost 5-1 in the first leg. They were doing alright in the second until they had their best defender sent off and then they full on collapsed. It was like they just didn't care, they knew how difficult it would then be and gave up. Lost 5-1 again. Awful showing from Arsenal over both legs.

Then there's Barcelona. Lost the first leg 4-0. Won the second leg 6-1. When PSG scored in the second leg to make it 3-1, I honestly thought that was it. To win was exceptional. However it did highlight why I'm not a fan of Barcelona as they are a bunch of fannies. Was very surprised that they got the penalty in injury time to make it 5-1, as I didn't think that was a penalty at all. All night they went down at the slightest touch, or no touch at all. They basically cheated to victory and I've seen loads of people saying how it's not the greatest comeback of all time because of the manner of Barcas play, as they basically cheated to win.

I want Bayern to win. They are a great team to watch. A team that can score 10 goals over two legs in the knockout stages is a force to be reckoned with. I also want to see Leicester keep it going as well. Doubt they'll win, but they should be able to make the Quarters and maybe the Semis depending on who they got.

What a crazy week. Sometimes I put £1 bets on some ridiculous odds scoreline in the hopes of one of these weeks coming and me cashing in. Of course, as luck would have it, I didn't make any bets this week.

Yeah I was going to put a bet on Barca winning and qualifying. Was so glad that I didn't when it went to 3-1. Bloody annoyed when Barca actually did it.

I'm tempted to put a bet on Leicester qualifying. Will need to see what the odds are.

Leicester have now made it further than any other English team this season. Man City just crashed out after winning the first leg 5-3, they lost 3-1. Pep must find it tough going from having players like Messi and Robben to bail him out all the time, to having someone like Sterling with no end product at all.

Leicester are finally out. Good showing by them as well, very unlucky. Had plenty of good chances but couldn't put enough of them away.

Quarter finals is good going. I'm sure they brought in a fair bit of revenue for that.

They put up a good fight. Loads of money as well for making the quarter finals. Still can't believe they made it further than any other British team (should say English really as no club from Scotland or Wales were ever going to make it far as their leagues suck).  Good on them.

Controversy in the Madrid/Bayern game as Madrid won 4-2 after extra time. 2 of the Ronaldo goals looked offside and Bayern are complaining that the ref wasn't up to the standard required to ref such a big game.
