PSG are in a pickle, too. 

And Man City are one of their final 3 fixtures. 

 

Hopefully there are no seedings in the play off round but either way it will through up some belters as it stands. 

 

Another top rule with this format is nobody dropping into the Europa.

I’m confident city will come good I did six teams last night and the ugly mob let me down for a decent payday.

Harsh. 

 

Difficult to pick games tonight. Tottenham v Roma will be the stand out on paper. 

 

Hearts go to play the other Brugge club.

There was a very entertaining goal in one of last night’s matches. A team’s high-scoring winger picked up a clearance midway in his own half, carved his way backwards past some of his own defenders and struck a beautiful pass to his centre half unmarked near the penalty spot

who with one touch controlled the ball and guided it it into his own net well beyond the reach of his keeper who for some reason had wandered off in the opposite direction.perhaps to inspect the penalty box line marking.

 

Rewarding viewing.

I remember back to the early day's of the European cup as it was then the first few years it was more like a festival of all that was good in football seldom a game with no goals seldom teams going into a match with a defensive attitude then the tallys started with their defensive  tactics of the old ally coach Nereo Rocco killed the game until that mob tore up the tactics book and won it with an all out attacking game then we had the dutch with their total football great if played well then later in my  opinion he game went backwards towards  with Liverpool Villa and Forrest all winning it but playing a cagey game sometimes hard to watch to  slow for my liking now the tournament is just like a league campaign with very rich pickings for those clubs that are successful .

The Hibs did all right in the first incarnation of the European Cup going out in the semi-final to Rheims who were top frogs at the time with the famous Raymond Kopa.
