Guest firetotheworks Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Bayern v Real final then. Bayern's the only team I can see outdoing Barca, I would have much preferred it as the final, but meh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

The College Dropout Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Got what I wanted 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.

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 imo, 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) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be hard for us to win the midfield battle against Bayern. A big part of it will be how long Xavi's legs can last for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Exactly, but the points that you mention re Barca's midfield are why I don't see Bayern necessarily dominating. They might edge it, but I don't think it'll be the reason why they win or lose.

Flip Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Real v Juve Barca v Bayern So the final will be played over the two legs 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
