I'd totally missed that I hadn't made this update so it's better late than never... let's see how much I can remember from the Quarter Final 2nd legs!
First up, was an expected cruise into the semi-finals for Real Madrid. If didn't prove to be the case with Chelsea going 3-0 ahead, 4-3 on aggregate before a late, Rodrygo goal sent the tie into Extra Time and the reliable Karim Benzema heading home to secure the win which many thought would be a banker.
Meanwhile, Villareal proved that their 1st leg win against Bayern Munich was no fluke, holding the Bavarians to a 1-1 draw to set up a difficult tie against Liverpool. Liverpool never looked like losing against Benfica who will go out with their pride in tact after a 3-3 draw at Anfield.
The real drama came with Atletico as their team of lunatics kicked the shit out of everything their eyes came upon. Like a bad zombie movie, their bodies were functioning without the use of their brains and we're all very lucky that their time in the Champions League has come to and end. Manchester City holding on for a goalless draw and a mouth watering semi-final against Real Madrid.
Quarter Finals - 2nd Leg Winner
@brahmaputra's love for Real Madrid proved to be decisive in a close Gameweek - Luka Modric was crucial on the night and claimed the UCL Man of The Match and helped @brahmaputra to a score of 55 points, narrowly beating @arahman and @the-gorilla.
Congratulations @brahmaputra, please reply to this post to claim your 5 STEEM prize 🏆
Steemit League Table
The battle at the top is close with @brahmaputra narrowly moving to the top of the table, 1 point ahead of @the-gorilla. @chenty is currently in 3rd place, 15 points behind with @arahman, @jimah1k and @titopx close enough to put some pressure on.

Mi elección de capitán no estuvo tan loca con Diogo Jota como seleccionado con una asistencia fue suficiente para quedar satisfecho, sin embargo no quede satisfecho con haber sacado a jugadores que anotaron algún punto para ingresar a Virgil Van Dijk que se quedó en la banca por el exceso de confianza de Klopp fueron 2 puntos menos que me dejaron fuera de la barrera de los 50 puntos dentro de la semana.
Ya listo para que empiece está próxima semana de champions aunque con un poco de dudas sobre a quién comprar para reforzar, pues veo partidos muy parejos para esta semifinal.
Seguiremos en la lucha por ese Top 3 a pesar de que solo queden 3 jornadas, creo que seguramente está será muy importante si quiero mantener mis chances de ese podio.

It was an incredible night last night. It's difficult to know who to choose and I didn't pick Benzema as captain like so many others. Which might be a good decision if Salah does well tonight!

Yo si estoy contento con mi elección, que fue a De Bruyne que con gol y asistencia me dejo con buenas chances de subir de puesto ahora estoy con algunos dilemas para las sustituciones de hoy asi que espero aunque sea encaminar la buena cantidad de puntos que ya tengo.

De Bruyne's so good. I couldn't afford him but would definitely have got him if I could. I've captained Salah tonight - a Liverpool goal feels inevitable but it hasn't happened yet...

Llegaron lo goles y casi se destapa el arco completamente, pienso que quedaron vivos aun los del Villarreal, pero viendo el partido de hoy con 0 remates al arco creo que ya hicieron suficiente por este año.
gracias a tener una linea defensiva de liverpool y casi todo el resto del equipo variado entre jugadores importantes pude obtener buena cantidad de puntos, creo que puedo incluso pelearte ese 2do puesto, ten cuidado!

I think that Liverpool scored almost straight after I'd written my comment!
You've had a good week and top scored 🏆 I really don't like my team and need to work out how to get De Bruyne for the 2nd leg and the final. You certainly have a good chance of getting 2nd place!

Quizás este sea el momento preciso de un comodín, si es que no has gastado todos.
La verdad siento que va a ser muy difícil, elegí al mejor capitán que podía seleccionar sin embargo la diferencia entre el 2do mejor puntaje fue de apenas 2 puntos, uff se nota que esta muy parejo y que cualquiera de los de arriba se puede quedar con ese top 3.

I'm all out of chips now and it gets harder to make a difference towards the end of the tournament with most people selecting the same players.
My best hope is that brahmaputra remains inactive and ends up being ineligible for any of the prizes! I hope it doesn't come to that though.

Thanks @fpl-gorilla 😊. It's always a good feeling to win. Unlike how ManUtd are doing on the pitch.
It's my pleasure to be able to somehow remain connected on Steemit despite the recent trouble in the Indian community.
I want to continue writing.. but I don't know where I should write.

I've missed this - what's happening?
You're obviously welcome to write here about Sports although expect to see plenty of emojis if you write about Man Utd... 🤣😂
I've just seen that you've been inactive for months and powered down - this makes you ineligible for my prizes so I hope that you make a return!
