well i thought overall chelsea were the much better hard working team.

Barca to me didn't show that match, just little glimpes at the end.

People where raving on about Messi and i thought he didn't a too much of a good match and really didn't show to much.

Ronaldoinho again only showed some skill in the match.

Seems to me chelsea got the upper hand of the match and set it as a fast closeing down attacking match which barca couldn't handle and really limiting them.

Sadly players where getting tired at the end and since barca didn't have to much attacking they could do it at the end.

I hate chelsea alot but there were the better team and i hope my pompey get a goal or two in our next match against em.

Also if i was a coach i would really question the coaching of messi he's young and he really lays it on thick, to me that is just going to ruin part of his future, i would expect the likes of him to just get up and just play footy not laying on the ground sulking and acting.

I think both Arsenal (my team!) and Liv will progress. Chelsea will bow out. They lost at home while Barca have 2 away goals.

I must say though Del Horno was deserving of a red, a yellow would have sufficed. It was just a clumsy challenge.

Great match between Barca and Chelsea. Messi was fantastic for the first half hour. Ronaldinho was almost invisible until the last 20 minutes. Once Chelsea took the lead, Barca showed what they were really made of, non-stop assaults on the Chelsea goal. They deserved to win the match.

The first round of second-leg matches tonight saw Barcelona, Juventus and Villareal go through to the quarter-finals of the Champion's League, at the expense of Chelsea, Werder Bremen & Rangers.

Results:

Chelsea 1-1 Barcelona (2-3)

Juventus 2-1 Werder Bremen (4-4)

Rangers 0-0 Villareal (2-2)

Juve were really lucky to get through. If not for a goalie error, they would have been out. They and Villareal got through on the away goals rule.

Arsenal vs. Real Madrid and Liverpool vs. Benfica tomorrow. Another night with less sleep. Can't wait. :D

By the way the scores should be ...

Barcelona 1-1 Chelsea

Juve 2-1 W. Bremem

Villa Real 0-0 Rangers

(Both Barca and Villa Real were at home).

Anyways, watched the big game of the night. Chelsea very fortunate with that late penalty. Terry looked offside, and also wasn't even fouled. Good to see Barca progress, that Ronaldinho is a class player.

Watched Barcelona - Chelsea tonight, Barca deserved to win again. Its easy to say neither of both teams went out on an attacking style. But overall the Barca defence and midfield did well to stop Chealsea?s players playing their game. Ronaldinho was once again brilliant with his moves:)).

By the way the scores should be ...

Barcelona 1-1 Chelsea

Juve 2-1 W. Bremem

Villa Real 0-0 Rangers

Villa Real 0-0 Rangers incorrect it was 1-1

nice to see Chelsea and their wonderfully exciting style of play out.

I can see Chelsea manager leaving at the end of the season and the chairman buying Barcelona.

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
