Fabulous game in Madrid. I think Atleti  will beat Arse in the semi.

Barcelona down to ten. Arsenal in the final, no team will ever get an easier run.

Teams can score with 10 men, cd. I know we don't so it's difficult to imagine. I don't agree on Barca being much easier, anyway.

Atlético are much worse, that's why they're 22 points behind.

I don't think it's as simple as that when it comes to cup match ups. Arsenal probably loved pulling Southampton out of the draw over all the Premier League opposition.

Because it was an incredibly lucky draw, their performance not withstanding. Just as getting Sporting Lisbon followed by Atlético Madrid is an incredibly lucky run to the final. All the teams that were likely to beat them have ended up in the same half.

I don't disagree that it wasn't an incredibly lucky draw, and I expect Arsenal to beat either Barcelona or A.Madrid. I just don't think it's as clear between those 2 who would have the better chance than you do. Hey, you thought Liverpool could do PSG and that seemed very unlikely!

Great game Atletico v Barcelona. Shame about the sending off. Without that, I feel we could have seen a classic.

I thought Liverpool could beat PSG on the basis for most of my life, teams I really hate have won nearly all the trophies.

Brilliant work ethic from Athletico, they’ve got some great players.

I see what you did, and I don't approve.

Two years ago, Leon Bailey turned into Mo Salah for a while.

Now, Salah has turned into Bailey.

Excellent game. It had absolutely everything, including copious amounts of blood.

Maybe, but I don't think they looked as threatening in the second half, particularly after they took off Torres. After the 70 minute mark, it didn't really look like they'd get an equaliser.

Yes, the Spanish cameramen are clearly not told to film something else while the blood is flowing.

An assist and now a goal from Cam.

Both really good play. Big part in the other goal as well.
