they should get rid of the away goals rule. make matches more exciting, rather than the home team playing defensively.

I completely agree, it does not make for a better game at all, but credit to Liverpool for bringing the game to us when they could have played 9 in defence.

No I think the away goal rule should definitely stay. ;):p

Rafa's tiptop tactics were spot on again tonight. Defense was so organised. Should have put the chances away but overall. PLEASED. There's still three stages to go and as much as I enjoyed the Victory tonight it's just a peice of the puzzle.

Did anybody see the fights between Valencia and Inter? Crazy kids.

While I hope that Man Utd. will lift the trophy this year, based on their current form I can't see them making it past the next round.

As of now, I feel that Liverpool are in pole position followed closely by Bayern or Valencia.

However, we all know how quickly things can change in football.

Based on their current from? They've been playing really well lately IMO, what is it that makes you think they haven't?

I think Man Utd have been playing poorly recently, but they are still getting the results. I think they will struggle with Rooney and Smith there only fit strikers.

To me that's the sign of a good team, although I don't think they've played that poorly and I think they are probably the team that looks like they have the best team spirit and understanding between each other in my opinion, as well as Liverpool, obviously they will suffer after losing Larsson though.

Anyhow, here is the draw.

Quarter-final draw

AC Milan v Bayern Munich

PSV Eindhoven v Liverpool

Roma v Manchester United

Chelsea v Valencia

(First legs to be played on 3/4 April and second legs on 10/11 April)

Semi-final draw

Chelsea or Valencia v PSV Eindhoven or Liverpool

Roma or Manchester United v AC Milan or Bayern Munich

(First legs to be played on 24/25 April and second legs on 1/2 May)

I honestly feel Liverpool can win the Champions League again this year.

We played PSV in the group stages, we drew 0-0 away and won 2-0 at home. We can beat them and fare better than Arsenal in the quarter finals. Then we would have Chelsea or Valencia in the semi's, and we all know what happened last time we played Chelsea in the Champions League semi final (see here and here), Valencia would be a good team to play as well due to Rafa's affiliations, and then knowing how things turn out in football we will end up playing Man Utd in the final. I can feel it in my water!

Lets not get ahead of ourselves though, PSV is the next step and as long as we do not get complacent I am pretty confident :).

any team at this point can win i think.. i dont think many people expected a final in 04 with porto-monaco.

anyway, i'm hoping for a milan-liverpool final, with obviously a milan win! :)

keep dreaming. GO REDS! we can win it again this year, already toke out last years champs

Based on their current from? They've been playing really well lately IMO, what is it that makes you think they haven't?

You have to admit that they haven't been playing as well lately as they did for most of the season. Their performances have been rather average since that win against Spurs.

The reason I'm wary of their chances in the Champions League is that they have been rather average outside the Premiership. They haven't been near their best in either the FA Cup or the CL (except for that last match against Benfica). Unless their performance in Europe matches that in the Premiership, they'll have a hard time advancing, especially if they beat Roma.

I think Man Utd have been playing poorly recently, but they are still getting the results. I think they will struggle with Rooney and Smith there only fit strikers.

The reason we won all those matches, aside from a good deal of luck and some brilliance i.e. Ronaldo, is because while we have been rather poor going forward, we have been great defensively, thus allowing us to snatch those late wins. That performance against Bolton at the weekend should signal a return to form, though.

Pretty good result 3 goals from home. Hope this means Liverpool still go after PSV with another thump in the next leg.

I hope Man Utd win tomorrow. I think they got the bottle to win against Roma. But at the moment Ronaldo and Rooney aren't getting goals in Europe that much. Rooney got nothingi in europe since 2004.

So it will be a tought test, but as I said before, they got bottle.

    • Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much needed feature by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily expanding OneDrive’s file management capabilities over the years, including for shared content and shortcuts, although it has had its flaws, too. The cloud storage platform introduced support for folder shortcuts several years ago, allowing users to pin frequently accessed shared folders from OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Now, Microsoft is refining that experience further with a new way to organize those shortcuts as revealed in a recent Microsoft 365 roadmap addition. Previously, shortcuts added through the “Add shortcut to My files” option would appear alongside all other files and folders in the root of a user's OneDrive. And although it's meant to be useful, this approach could also create clutter along the way, especially for heavy users who may have to work with large numbers of shared folders across multiple projects and teams on their systems. This is where Microsoft’s latest feature comes in, as it is looking to address this inconvenience by giving users the option to place new shortcuts inside a dedicated “Shortcuts” folder instead. The feature is designed to keep shortcut links organized into a single location instead of scattering throughout the main OneDrive directory. Hence, the idea is to make navigation and usability easier and simpler. The first time a user chooses this option, OneDrive will automatically create the folder, and to help make it stand out from the other folders, the Shortcuts folder will have a distinct visual identity featuring a unique color and a building-style icon. That being said, the new Shortcuts will behave just like any other folder in OneDrive, and as such, users will be able to move it to a different location, rename it, share it with others, or remove it entirely if they prefer a different structure. You can view the entry on the Microsoft 365 roadmap website here. Currently, the feature is in the "in development" phase, but the tech giant expects the rollout to start next month (July 2026). Do keep in mind, though, that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
    • VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.123 alongside its annual developer conference, Build 2026. This release, as always, has a heavy focus on advanced AI agent integration and making the built-in browser more robust. Notably, this update brings big sync changes that keep your AI agents persistent across sessions. With this update, VS Code now supports cross-machine syncing for chat histories, touched files, repository contexts, and related PRs via GitHub accounts, tying users even more into Microsoft’s developer ecosystem. This update also introduces the new /chronicle command that allows you to query past sessions using natural language, generate instant standup reports, and get personal productivity insights. Microsoft has also made some improvements to network-dependent operations, it explains: “When a terminal command that is run by a local agent requires access to domains that are not configured as allowed domains, the command is automatically retried inside the sandbox with unrestricted network access. After that, if it still fails, it falls back to unsandboxed execution. This allows network-dependent operations such as git fetch to finish, while keeping filesystem protections in place.” Microsoft has not stopped there; in this update, it also allows developers to drag, drop, and pin multiple agent sessions side-by-side for easy code comparisons in real-time. It also introduces the Research Agent, accessible via /research. This is a read-only, depth-optimized tool that gets data from the web, local codebase, and GitHub to give you a Markdown report on complex APIs or unfamiliar code. Now, let’s talk about the integrated browser and some security enhancements. VS Code 1.123 features enhanced screenshot capture tools that allow for targeted Area Screenshots and Full Page Screenshots to send layout context instantly to AI chat. The address bar has also been revamped, supporting favorite pages and tab management. Finally, on the security front, this update introduces a safety-first two-hour delay on third-party extension auto-updates to safeguard against compromised or buggy releases. This release is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. If you have VS Code, keep an eye out for the update availability notification. If you still don’t have VS Code, you can get it here.
    • I'm hoping with the Surface Pro 12, I can use either USB-C for my Xreal One Pro glasses. With my Surface Pro 11 OLED X Elite, I have to plug them into the top port. The bottom port will power it, but nothing shows on the screen. Maybe it's my setting. When I plug in the glasses, I have it output only to the glasses. So maybe I need to turn on both displays with it in the top port, then switch the glasses to the bottom port and set it to output only to the glasses. And then hopefully Windows remembers the settings for either the top port and bottom port (one of the awesome features of Windows where it remembers the exact configuration when plugging in external monitors.
    • Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!
    • wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
