Can't tell you how much I love Kevin Prince-Boateng, what a goal tonight! By far the most improved player in the past 12 months and easily one of Europe's best midfielders. That was an awesome goal fair play. Arsenal were shocking last night but can't take it away from Milan, they were really impressive. |

Great game between Napoli and Chelsea tonight. How the Champions League should be contested.
Chelsea are still in it, but I think they'll get knocked out (they are almost guaranteed to concede at Stamford Bridge).

I agree it was a really good game, but the defending was atrocious on both sides, Napoli were just more clinical. I still think the tie is far from over. |

Thought it was a good game Between Chelsea and Napoli aswell. Napoli are unlucky not to have scored even more goals.
Anyone else really hate the current format for the last 16 in the champions league?

Gutted for Arsenal, I really thought they were going to do it.

Arsenal showed a fight that they've sorely missed in recent years, but they have finally begun to show in recent weeks, first against Spurs, then Liverpool, and now tonight. Think they'll use this to push on for 4th.

Shame Arsenal were so tired they couldn't finish Milan off, was really exciting and I thought they would do it, but Milan showed resilience in the second half.

Good performance by Arsenal. Did themselves proud last night.
Supporting Napoli for the rest of the tournament.

brilliant game last night, i honestly thought when the ball fell to van persie in the box the comeback was complete. they did themselves proud.
real madrid is my pick for the tournament now, hope chelsea does well but. always support the british teams in these tournaments.

Cracking first half at Arsenal, thought they would do it. Feel sorry for RVP after that miss, shouldn't have tried the chip. The team is looking a lot better Walcott and Ros have improved recently and AOC has shinned since playing at Arsenal.

Hapoel Tel Aviv - What a result for them. The dream goes on for them. This is APOEL from Nicosia (cyprus) and not Hapoel from Tel Aviv (Isreal) Which makes it even a bigger achievment! |

Haha, don't know what I'm doing, spell it right on one form and  it up on another  Not surprised you haven't forgot Hapoel after last season though  Lyon never looked like winning. Briand and Lopez were absolutely terrible. That Paulo Jorge for Apoel looks quite the player though. Put in a great shift. |

Chuffed APOEL went through last night, great story.
As for Messi last night, I really do run out of words to describe him, superb.

Anyone got predictions to win? I'm calling Madrid to do the double, especially if they don't have to face Barca.

They will face Barca I have no doubts about that - well small doubts on Madrid's side of things they could blow up it happens but I believe Madrid would beat them this time, fancy them in a final to get it done. Not that Ron would be the catalyst of course. Jose on a mission, Madrid.
They are both a huge cut above the rest of europe.

Messi was just fantastic and there was a decent documentary on ITV4 afterwards. Can't see any team beating Barca over two legs, only team that has a chance is Madrid but even they can't seem to beat them this year. However, teams are more likley to beat Barca in a one off game at the final. The defence just has to be super tight and hope they score a goal.

We played shocking tonight. Hope Rafa gets a pasting by SAF for his reaction that led to the third goal, could be the second time in 3 years his mistake knocks us out of Europe. Interesting stat: if we get knocked out this will be the first time in 10 years United haven't reached a cup final  |
