Such a s*** manager, that Allegri guy. I still don't think he's anything special. They've had a relatively easy way to the semi's playing teams that on paper are weaker than them and also playing Dortmund which was out of form. Vidal, Pogba, Tevez are absolutely top class and that's not down to Allegri.

Aye, great draw. Also possibly brings el undecimo just an inch closer. I wouldn't be surprised if Juve beat Real but Real have to be favourites in that tie. That Bayern/Barca should be brilliant. I think Xavi might be crucial. If Barca can sneak ahead, Xavi could kill the tie even if it's off the bench. I fancy Alonso to pick up a red in that tie. Possibly missing another final. Just like he did against Sevilla? No, Xavis best days are gone, on odd occasions he can do it off the bench like against PSG, but you can't depend on him to kill ties off. It's all about Messi, Neymar or Suarez having a great day against Bayern on the counter because I just can't see Bayern not controlling the midfield no matter who plays. You can't see Bayern not controlling the midfield? Against Busquets, Iniesta and Raketic/Xavi, with Messi dropping in as well? It could go either way which is what makes it so interesting. It's Bayern's forward line vs Barca's defence that seems like the big thing with me. I can see Barca being caught out at the back more than I can Bayern (despite how bad it was against Porto in the 1st Leg) They've had trouble controlling midfield against far lesser technical teams this season, so yeah I can't see them controlling it against Alonso/Schwein/Lahm/Thiago. Barcelona gameplan will have to depend on using the counter just like against Atl Madrid. Messi dropping deep and playing Suarez and Neymar up top. Their midfield is good enough to prevent too many Bayern chances though and good enough to win ball deep in the back to start counters, but I'll be surprised if they dominate possession against them especially considering they're not that kind of team anymore.

Although if Barcelona ends up winning this they might potentially have played City, PSG, Bayern and Real to win the title which would be one of the hardest routes ever to a final I'd guess.

Real v Juve Barca v Bayern So the final will be played over the two legs

Sao Paulo beat Corinthians 2-0 in the last qualifying round to send San Lorenzo out in the group. Ridiculous red cards, please google them. The two dives are so ridiculous from Sao Paulo players I'm sat here actually laughing out loud at how bad they were and how the ref fell for both.

Boring semi's. Looks like Hernandez is actually f***ed. Ramos was class. You know he would love to be a CM all the time. Thought Ramos was shit personally. Couldn't play a pass right all game.

He probably scored 5 a half at youth level tbf.

He is. Was same with Chelsea, very good most of the time besides Terry but less so with Cahill. I love his passion when he's on but sometimes he just switches off and doesn't give a fuck. Needs an experiencef player next to him.

Yup, weird as fuck

Same language, same German bumming. Im not even joking. Having so many flashbacks.

Bayern

Vintage Iniesta ans now Vintage Dani

That goal...

3 goals in CL for a very poor defender. Mole...

Wasn't it Nasri's girl that dated DeAndre Jordan? I mean, wouldn't be too much of a shock if she went from Nasri to Kompany if that's the case.

Fair enough

Collins has been comically bad for the past 10minutes.

Nice counter, but that's horrible from Collins. Aguero is always going to be faster.

Not so sure about that, but Modric is out for 6 weeks so they are f***ed regardless. Mainly because Kroos as been run into the ground and looks like he's wearing medieval armor. You're not so sure, yet you basically agree with me?

What a goal.

Ronaldinho came on as a sub in the 84th last night at the Azteca and scored two goals They won it 4-0.

Modric and Bale out for Real on wednesday. Their midfield isn't good enough to beat an high intensity Atletico midfield without Modric.

Martinez said it wasn't worth a red card and that he stood on his foot and was in control. Not that type of player either, tbh. Managers will always defend their own players. It's disgusting, but did you think he'd stand there saying it was malicious and he deserves 6+ games?
