Ajax vs Juventus Ajax cannot be underestimated having dethroned Real Madrid and with their exciting young team, with Frenkie de Jong catching the eye, but Juventus will be expected to progress. They are a wholly different, Cristiano Ronaldo-led prospect to a disorganised, demotivated Madrid side. It will be interesting to see the Dutch attack Juventus’s Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci centred defence. Still Ajax will not fear anyone and could give the Italians a scare. But Juventus should make it.Prediction: Juventus Liverpool vs Porto Facing Porto was the draw every other team wanted. They are the rank outsiders even if they have a fiery but highly-rated coach in Sergio Conceicao. Liverpool will be delighted – especially as memories will be fresh of the 5-0 thrashing they handed out in Porto last season. The Portuguese have done well to get this far, knocking out Roma, having overturned a two-goal deficit, but it would be a huge shock if Liverpool do not go … [Read more...] about Champions League predictions – who of Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City and Spurs can expect to reach the semi-finals?

Aggregate score: 3-3; United win on away goals “United are back,” they sang at the end. And they are. Whatever happens now, this was Manchester United as they want to be known; as they were known.

They also sang long after Paris St-Germain had slumped to the turf distraught, Kylian Mbappe in tears. If there were any doubts as to whether Ole Gunnar Solskjaer deserves to be confirmed as the next United manager, then that should now change. Hang logic or process or waiting – just give it to him. The day before, Solksjaer had said there was no such thing as a lost cause and while everyone nodded, no one believed. But he did. No team in Champions League history had overturned a 2-0 deficit from the first leg. United did and without 10 … [Read more...] about Man Utd pull off incredible comeback as Paris St-Germain capitulate in Europe after dramatic late VAR decision

They say the video assistant referee is killing the drama in football. Not here. No way. This was the most incredible, astonishing unforgettable finish as Manchester United were awarded a controversial 90thminute penalty to knock Paris Saint-Germain out of the Champions League. Marcus Rashford took it, driving the ball high into the net and the United bench exploded – it felt just like 1999. It really did. PSG were stunned. The world was stunned. There were then four minutes of added time. It felt like an eternity with PSG reacting with fury after the award which seemed harsh. Sure Presnel Kimpembe blocked Diogo Dalot’s shot which hit his elbow but the defender had turned his back. Even so after consulting with the VAR on the side of the pitch referee Damir Skomina gave the penalty. No fewer than 106 times has a team unsuccessfully previously tried to overcome a 2-0 deficit from the first leg of a Champions League tie. There will not be a 107th.
