It's a shame Rennes didn't knock Arsenal out but I think you exceeded all expectations with the first leg result so it's not as though you're not able to hold your heads high and say you did your best.

Liverpool vs Porto in the quarter-finals with a potential semi-final against Man United or Barcelona, I'll take that!!

Some interesting matchups in the Champions League draw. Of course, I'm pulling for my Man City boys, but a lot of the matchups should be fun. I'm looking forward to watching Ajax. They've obviously been over-performing a bit, but there's a lot of young talent on that squad.

We all know Leo Messi isn't a human from this planet but this is unreal.
Great reaction by Betis fans, too.

Man, 48 years without any trophy. I never saw my team win anything in my entire life until yesterday. This is the best. What the hell has happened to us this year??? I just hope we can keep it going for years to come.

I saw long highlight video.
PSG had lot of chances to put you away but you missed some, too and had a good fight back.
I cannot understand why they keep Cavani on the bench. That's bordering on crime.

I'm not gonna lie, we pushed hard between the 30th and the 60th to get that equalizer, but otherwise we were completely dominated. I was definitely not happy when Cavani came on the pitch, that was typically a game where his presence in the box was valuable.
Overall it was just a game of perseverance for us and fortunately our keeper was amazing for once. Proud of my boys.

Congrats Jacq!

I can't believe I'm experiencing a season where we could finish on 97 points, lose just one game and and still not win the league. It's absurd!! I can't wait for the game against Barca.

Alabama, Ravens, Liverpool - this is getting weird mate haha. Nice to know I'm not alone! That away game against Red Star was brutal, I had nightmares for days.

Other news from Rennes, you guys should remember the name of Eduardo Camavinga. At 16 years old and 3 months he had his first start in Ligue 1 after several appearance. Extremely promising midfielder who has been pegged as our biggest talent since Lord Ousmane Dembele.

I can't believe what I've just watched. I missed the first 50 minutes because I was at training with my under 11's team, not sure I would have survived watching the full game. I've not celebrated a win like that in a long time. It was great to see the emotion on the players' faces at the end.

Barcelona didn't deserve to win the first leg 3-0 but we 100% deserved that second leg result.
