is that Juventus are not going go win this thing! They were very poor and we were all over them. Yes they were clinical when they needed to be and that was the difference.
We perhaps rode our luck in previous games but last night it definitely ran out. Ambrose very poor and should have had 2 penalties. I would say that is probably our best performance in Europe this season but how ironic that it was our biggest defeat.
Thought Izzy was back to his best and Commons outstanding. Before the game I would have played Ambrose but in hindsight of course that was a mistake. Wouldnt have played Forrest thougb and not sure why Ledley was missing.
The bhoys can be proud of their performance and lets hope they can fet a goal or 2 next game and big Sammy is back for that one.
Having seen all the teams I think Juventus, Man Utd, Real Madrid are not going to win it. Dortmond have looked fantastic and of course Bayern are a class act. Im going for Dortmund to win it.
What I learned from last night....

It did seem like the boys had went one step too far last night. Some good performances but Juve were clinical when it mattered. C'est la vie
It tells you something when Celtic getting beat in a Champions League last 16 tie is the biggest result of the Rangers support's season though

McStay it has nothing to do with being a Rangers fan.
Just be truthful about the game!

They weren't that good, I thought Benfica were a better team. But they got their tactics spot on.
Wee Izzy played out his skin last night, didn't deserve to be on the losing team

I was, Juve were the better side. Goals win games, Juve scored three
Still proud of the Bhoys and Lennon for their run in the competition this year. Exceeded all expectations

Glad to see the Rangers fans all over the champions board again btw
You know when we had zero posession and no shots atgoal against Barcelona they were all over us......now against Juventus we have about 14 shots and most of the possession yet they are all over us again !
McStay you are right that was their biggest game of the season so far!

Juve knew what they were doing..they allowed us to have the ball..because they knew we would tire out..and n the last twenty we did and they pounced.
Last night was Italian mentality at it's very best
