Tonight's games (5th April) are:Manchester City v Atletico Madrid - 8pm Benfica v Liverpool - 8pm Seems a bit brainless to have them both kick off at 8pm. In this world of money money money surely it would make sense to have a 6pm ko and an 8pm ko? Only one TV screen in the local pub and probably more scouse than citeh supporters. Citeh / Atletico surely the more interesting tie of the two. |

Tonight's Games (6th April) Are:Chelsea v Real Madrid - 8pm Villareal v Bayern Munich - 8pm Chelsea v Real Madrid - 1-3 - Havertz, Benzema (3) Oh dear, could be curtains for the blues, They had 57 % of play & 20 shots to 8. No good leaving Lukaku and Werner on the bench for 64 mins if you want goals. Villareal v Bayern Munich - 1-0 Nice victory for the Spanish, will be tough in Germany though. |

Villareal will be very different in the return leg next tuesday, all out attack. Man.City v Real will be a humm-dinger of a game IMO. |

Champions League Final - Liverpool v Real Madrid - Sunday 28th May - Stade De France Paris.
The distribution and pricing of Champions League final tickets is "the system that works" as it aids clubs, Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin says.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp asked why almost half of the 75,000 tickets for the game against Real Madrid in Paris are given to sponsors and officials.
Most Liverpool tickets are £125 or more and 93.5% of revenue goes to the clubs.
"For us, not much will change if all tickets are 10 euros but it will change a lot for the clubs," said Ceferin.
"It's the system that works, and clubs couldn't function differently."
Each club has received 19,618 tickets while a further 12,000 were put on general sale via a ballot, which closed before the semi-final second legs were played.
More than one-fifth of Liverpool's allocation will cost between £410 and £578.
But Ceferin argued that the system benefits clubs financially.
"I explained the same thing to one of the coaches of the two teams a couple of days ago and I can do it here," said Ceferin at the Uefa congress in Vienna.
"I explained it to him a bit more and took much more time because I went through every single number.
"From the revenues from the finals, Uefa gets 6.5% and 93.5% goes to the clubs. From the other matches, 100% of the revenues goes to the clubs.
"Fans of both teams get 20,000 tickets each. Sponsors that pay 100 or more million euros sponsorship - of which 93.5% goes to the same clubs - get some tickets. It's part of a contractual obligation that we have.
"Uefa doesn't get more tickets than the others. Some tickets go to the market, some tickets go to the fans and some go to the partners. It's not Uefa. I'm not giving tickets for free to my friends or selling to my friends."

Champions League Final at the Stade de France - Delayed by 36 minutes.
Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 1 - 54% - 46% - Shots 24-4 - On Target 9-2 - Corners 6-2 - Referee Clément Turpin - Crowd 52,000
There were shambolic scenes outside the Stade de France as long queues formed with supporters unable to get inside in time for the Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid.
The announcer claimed the delay was due to "the late arrival of fans at the stadium" as UEFA initially blamed supporters but have since backtracked as it's believed that fans turned up in plenty of time before the scheduled kick-off time. A spokesperson said: "For security reasons, the match has been delayed by 15 minutes".
Gary Lineker, who was in attendance of the game, was caught up in the chaos as he called out UEFA for blaming the delay on the fans. He tweeted: "Finding it impossible to get in the ground. This appears to be very dangerous. Absolute carnage.
"I’m not sure it’s possible to have a more poorly organised event if you tried. Absolutely shambolic and dangerous. @uefacom. They’ve just announced another 15-minute delay 'because of the late arrival of fans'. Utter bull****."
Kelly Cates – the daughter of Liverpool great Sir Kenny Dalglish – posted: "Absolutely shambolic at the Stade de France. No way in, no way of knowing which way to go. Stay safe if you’re heading in. It has the potential to be very dangerous."
At least one gate was locked outside the ground – Gate Y, which was the main one for the Liverpool end. Fans were seen up against the fence shouting at people to sort the situation out and let them in. Riot police were in attendance with tear gas being used on Liverpool fans.
Rio Ferdinand prayed for fans' safety hearing that tear gas was used on Liverpool fans: He said on BT Sport: "We pray for people's safety. You come to football to be entertained."
