PSG over Atleti

Bayern hoists the cup

It's City's cup to lose.

Their defense is too porous.

And Bayern is something like 26-0-1 in all competitions since their last lost (Dec 7), went undefeated in CL group stage, and utterly embarrassed Chelsea in both games. Lewandowski probably deserved Ballon d'Or if it hadn't been canceled.

The 1 in the record above is Leipzig, and as a Leipzig fan, my foolish, unrealistic hope is that Bayern and Leipzig meet in the final and settle the draw (they drew both games this year).

I think your pick above is probably the most likely to happen, but given the one-off nature of this competition, I fully expect the unexpected. This year might deserve a Lyon-Atalanta final.

As a Bayern fan I thought we were about to be awful after the start of the season. Then Flick took over and I was nervous, but wow, give that man the keys to the club. All the players say that he's the best manager they've played under, even better than Pep.

Atletico Madrid have two positive Covid cases. They're gonna have a full round of tests today to determine who's allowed to fly to Portugal.

So it looks like the match today is only available (in English) on the CBS subscription app? Why isn't it in CBS Sports? Argh.

At least I can watch it in the Spanish channel.

There's a free month trial of CBS All Access right now.

Will PSG finally get past the quarter-finals? We are about to find out

Brutal...

lol @ "hat trick of misses"

Neymar's been really off with his shot accuracy today. Dudes making plays but can't finish any of em.

Why are they only playing one semifinal each day?

Half the inventory since no return leg. Gotta get some $$$ out of it.

From 1-0 down to 2-1 up really quickly.

Wow. That really escalated.

Crazy end. Wish Atalanta could've pulled it off, but it's a deserving win for PSG.

Atleti and RBL tied 1-1 with about 20 minutes left. Good game so far. Tyler Adams subbing in as well.

Tyler Adams on for Leipzig 73'. Game tied 1-1.

And it looks like Leipzig switched to their 4-2-2-2

They just need more shots on goal. They are possessing but the final product is really lacking.

Been the story for months. Fantastic ball movement until we get to the final third.

ADAMS!!!

Tyler Adams with the help of a HUGE deflection scores! 2-1 Leipzig. 94'

Leipzig win! Play PSG on Tuesday 2pm CST.

Atleti out after that huge Adams goal.

Biggest/most important club goal by an American playing abroad? (Saw this floated by some commentators and I can't think of a more meaningful one.)

RB deserved to win that one. Normally root for Spanish clubs but happy for Adams to score that.

It's meaningless semantics, perhaps, but given the old saga of Berhalter putting Adams at RB, and since the postgame commentator made such a big deal about Adams getting central as a RWB, I'll chime in.

As someone who has watched nearly every Leipzig game this year, I can say with great confidence that when Adams came in the game, they shifted their formation to a 4-2-2-2, and Adams was a DM. They've had lots of games this year where they like to make a change from a back 3 to a back 4 at some point in the game (or vice versa), and this isn't the first time that the switch happened with Adams substituting with the RWB.

Adams has played a good bit of RWB for them this year when they're in the 3 man back formation, but the postgame commentator was wrong in this case.

HEre we go.

How can CBS makes these only online....so frustrating....yesterday they were showing a TIki Barber show?!!?

Wow, glad I didn't show up late. This game is gonna have some fireworks.

And Owen Goal makes an early appearance too. This game delivers.

Fun game.

I've never seen barcelona look so outclassed. This game could get ugly fast.
