8 out of 8 predictions wise. Not bad if I do say so myself although admittedly some of the game were easy to call. I think Dragonite and I had the same predictions so he got a full house too.
The only slight surprise for me was Porto managing to take it to penalties. I thought they'd lose by a comfortable margin in London. Atletico Madrid v Inter was the only close game but I had a feeling they would go through and they did.

The feeling of "Inter bottling it" is confirmed by this (February) ELO stats.matt wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2024 21:37 From the least balanced to the most balanced tie Elo-points wise:
Copenaghen - Manchester City 1648 - 2052 (404, file not found!)
Lazio - Bayern 1769 - 1940 (171)
Leipzig - Real Madrid 1809 - 1977 (168)
Porto - Arsenal 1800 - 1945 (145)

Napoli - Barcelona 1809 - 1854 (45)
PSV - Dortmund 1812 - 1856 (44)
Napoli are much closer than i expected. The difference between Copenaghen and City is crazy, lol.
7/8 ties went the ELO-way.

Are you "happier" with these flawless 8/8 CL predictions compared to the flawed EL and Conference League predictions? Or you don't care about the accuracy of the predictions?Polak wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 14:42 8 out of 8 predictions wise.

I don't care about the accuracy of the predictions, "unexpected" things are (usually) nice.
And although we agreed about the 8 teams advancing, I didn't agree with you about the "unbalanced" Porto vs Arsenal, to me it was 51%-49% for Porto without the head-to-head, and 51%-49% for Arsenal considering the head-to-head.
And the most unbalanced clash was Lazio vs Bayern, Lazio winning the first leg was the biggest surprise.
I may say more things about the CL last 16, EL last 16, Conference League last 16 and UYL last 16 & last 8 later this week. I'll go watch the matches now.

It isn't about being happy or sad. I said I got 8 out of 8 which isn't bad although some ties were easy to predict. I have not commented on my prediction result with the other two competitions in this round because the ties are not over yet. Last round my predictions were not great.

Not a glory performance for a PL leader to need a PSO win against Porto. But mentality seems to be alright.
Barca - Bayern again in the QF?
