Pandamninator Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Hahahahahah fuck off Mourinho. Ronaldo also has missed two of his last pens in CL shootouts, right? Best player ever /alpal I'm sure it will be extra painful, watching their blood rivals and the GREATEST TEAM EVARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! in the final. :'( Oh, wait....

Guest Tyson Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 At the Nou Camp last week, I thought that Ronaldo was finally on the way to erasing the 'choker' label which has plagued him on the big stage. Scores for fun against the lightweights, but misses guilt edge opportunities against the big guns. His goal-to-game ratio in the EPL, against the Arsenals (ie. the league's top tier), was a stark contrast to his overall record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandamninator Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I don't see how people can blame Ronaldo, he scored two goals FFS, and two other Madrid players missed penalties (including Ramos who did his best Jonny Wilkinson impression). Of the list of people for Madrid to blame, Ronaldo is damn near the bottom of the list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chokers' tag on the big stage (ie. delivering in the highest pressure moments) is still warranted, and the doubts that come with. Prior to last week (in league play, during Barca's period of dominance), he's scoring record against Barca was a solitary penalty in five meetings iirc. As inferred he scores for fun against the lightweights, but for a player of his ability there's still not enough 'statement', or complete/dominant type of performances (on the biggest stages, against top opposition) in his resume.

Guest Tyson Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Chelsea will never get through against Barca Chelsea will get battered at Camp Nou Barca will score late on Chelsea have a load of suspended players and their opponents won't Bayern will get battered at the Bernabeu Real will cut through Chelsea like a hot knife through butter That sums it up. Brutal truth. Last Chance Saloon for an aging Chelsea team (tick) Fairytale season's conclusion, and a big plus for a possible job application (whether it be Chelsea or not), for a caretaker manager in charge (tick) Van Buyten, as an inclusion for the final, would be a plus for Bayern. Good defensive match-up for them against Drogba, if the Blues continue to go with a physical & direct brand of play (which was used to good effect against Barca).

ExiledGeordie Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Having seen Bayern last night, I think they will give Chelsea a better game in the final than Real. Strong side and mentally very tough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also got home advantage which I think will count in favour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandamninator Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Will it be that much of a home advantage though? I assume UEFA will give Chelsea and Bayern equal ticket allocations, with most of the rest going to corporate sponsors and neutrals who can afford to shell out for tickets. So it's not going to be like the usual Bayern Home Game where you have 60,000 Germans baying for blood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not going to be like the usual Bayern Home Game where you have 60,000 Germans baying for blood. Still...They are at home. No need to travel, same match day routine which is of massive importance imo. I said at the start of the season Bayern would be there at the end and i think they will do for Chelsea 2 or 3. Great game last night, they move the ball really well and look very fit. Chelsea will struggle imho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Are Bayern missing any players for the final through suspension? And If so, who is likely to replace them? 2 from their back 4 according to the commentary. don't know who but think badtenstuber (sp?) is one. Rafinha will come in at FB so not a big loss there(Alaba) no idea if Van Buyten is fit or who the next in line for Badstuber's replacement is which is probably the biggest concern for them, Tymoschuk will no doubt replace Gustavo so again not a great loss assuming Tymo can still run these days.

Guest neesy111 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Was really impressed by Bayern last night, most teams would had folded going 2-0 down at the Bernabeu and were arguably the better team with Mario Gomez guilty of missing some sitter's.

Village Idiot Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Ah, yesterday took a bit of the sting out of falling against Chelsea, particularly seeing how bullish Real Madrid fans were before the game. Ramos hadn't taken a pen since he was in Sevilla's youth teams, apparently, but at least he had the guts to step in and take it. And Kaká, what a performance Surely he'll be off this summer.

Best player ever /alpal You've got a problem buddy, no problem for us to have different views but you keep mentioning my name in your posts like some sort of stalker, might need to get a restraining order on you. Buzz off like the fly you are Oh and in case you did not notice, his contribution in the semis was substantially more than Messi's pathetic attempt against 10 men Chelsea.

Taylor Swift Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 It's not that we can't have different views. It's that you chose to use Messi's penalty miss as some sort of proof that he's not the best, and you conveniently choose to ignore his performances and goals in two finals. There's no problem with having a different viewpoint if it's logically consistent. Yours isn't. And of course you chose to contrast Messi's miss with what Ronaldo would have done, again also ignoring how shit Ronaldo has been in big games over his Real career.
