1. This was the best UCL game of the season

Many thought that the first leg was a really good match, the second leg blew it out of the water. On a night where Lionel Messi and Barcelona were toying with Arsenal, the duel between Bayern Munich and Juventus stole the show. It was an epic clash and a great tie between two great teams. If they could play for one game that would be even better.

This tie had everything from late equalizers to amazing comebacks. Both teams had to come back at a certain point in this tie. Juventus had to come back from 2-0 in the first leg to tie 2-2 thanks to Paulo Dybala and Sturaro. Bayern then had to deal with going down 4-2 and then they stormed back and tied up the scoreline 4-4 thanks to a goal in stoppage time. Then extra time came and nobody knew what would happen next.

Then Thiago struck with the first goal to make it 5-4 on aggregate and then Kingsley Coman sealed with a beautiful goal to make it 6-4. In all, it was a certain classic. Not many ties featured 10 goals but this one did and it was an absolute treat to watch.

Now Bayern are on to the quarterfinals where they will either face the likes of Benfica or draw holders Barcelona. Either way, the UCL is getting better and better everyday.
