Champions League 14/15

[MSB92]

I would love to see a Barcelona and Juve semi final. A new match up and I believe it will be an exciting semi final.

 

[Master D]

Exciting for a bit until Barca destroy them.

I'd love to see Juve win it this season, their midfield is a joy to watch when full strength. I know it won't happen but still, go on Juve!

Hopefully Atleti go on to beat Real tonight too, they should be boosted by the absence of the B and B of the BBC.

 

[Master D]

Real have got it all to do tonight, no Marcelo, Modric, Bale or Benzema.

Christiano Ronaldo singing the Champions League theme like it's a national anthem, what a muppet.

 

[GodsGift]

I'm not sure I get the thinking behind Ramos in midfield...

 

[Stevencc]

Ronaldo should've put Real ahead with that chance. Oblak has been fantastic over the two legs.

 

[Master D]

Ronaldo had to put it across the keeper there. But all going to plan for Simeone so far, they will play this way all night if necessary. Though if they can score a goal I don't see Real getting 2.

United are better off spending £40m on Godin rather than Hummels.

Better spending 40 mill on Varane then either of those.

 

[GodsGift]

I was trying to be realistic though...

True. You would be lucky to land Varane for 40 Mil. Id happily pay up to 60 mil for him though over paying 40 mil for either Godin or Hummels

 

[rudebwoyben]

That's never a second yellow card...

 

[Stevencc]

Oblak is a monster of a keeper.

He's nearly 30, it wouldn't make sense.

Praying Atletico can hold on here, every chance falling to Hernandez (who looks completely out of his depth) is a bonus.

I had to say it.

Fuck off football.

 

[mistermagic]

May give ET a watch.

 

[DarkSithLord]

1-0 Real.

 

[GodsGift]

They'd still get a good three or four years out of him, and it's not like they factored in Falcao's age when spunking all that money away on his salary, nor Di Maria for £60m (he's only 27, but still).

They probably wouldn't have to pay £40m for Godin anyway.

It is your fault. We have proof.

Never lose faith in the little pea.

Meanwhile at Monaco...

 

[Master D]

Best ref performance I've seen for some time in the CL. Arda was asking for it most of the match, he's just generally a hot head and easy to wind up.

Real looked so slow without the likes of Bale and Marcelo. James Rodriguez turns like an oil tanker and seems to take about 10 touches before he gets the ball out of his feet. Hernandez is crap but fair play he did what he does best. Real were decent enough and deserved to win but I'd still have Barca and Bayern way ahead of them currently.

 

[Millersfan]

What the fuck is Thierry Henry talking about? Criticising Hernandez for over celebrating. He's just scored a 89th minute winner against his team's local rivals in the Champions League QF. Fucking idiot.

"It's Ronaldo's goal?" What the actual fuck was he saying. If anything it was James who cut the defence open with his pass. If we are saying tap in goals don't count properly then Ronaldo himself would have scored about 200 less goals for Real Madrid. They give him goals on a plate every single week in La Liga.

Also, Henry's comments were particularly strange considering he himself was a man who spent most of his career celebrating goals like an arrogant berk.

Ronaldo was being a dick running off to celebrate on his own instead of jumping on Hernandez.

Absolutely hate Real, Atleti and Barca. It's not enough that you've got amazing squads/players. Cherry picking the best players from all over the world, and they're all cheating, diving, play-acting tarts. Just play the game.

Thought the referee was crap myself. Never had control of the game, inconsistent.

 

[Master D]

Simeone should never have subbed Griezmann, pretty ridiculous to take off your most likely counter attack goal threat when there was still the chance of extra time to come.

I think he was maybe looking for a red card advantage of his own, i.e. put that utter cheating twat Raul Garcia on and try and get Pepe or Ramos to react to something.

 

[SALTIRE]

Very disappointed Atletico couldn't progress and those scum bastards stole it at the end. Oh well, the draw for the semi's on Friday should still be interesting.

 

[Ligue 1 fan]

A penalty that wasn't one dumps Monaco out of the champions league.
Showed they could put up and contest with Juventus over the 2 legs and are unlucky to be out.
Juventus aren't that good of a side but are a solide unit.
Don't care about CL now, The good teams are out..........
