Champions League Quarter-finals Thread

And Song! Now PSG have to win it!!!!

TELL IT AGAIN MURRAY.

Murray with Song its 10 v 10!

So 2 German teams, 1 Spanish team and 1 Polish team. Semis should be great!

Remember when Messiah wanted to sell Pedrito?

That Van Der Wiel or whatever he's called guy was abysmal there.

The away goals rule has deprived us of another 30 minutes

Bayern comfortable over the 2 legs and without Kroos tonight that's no mean feat.

Juventus one of the best teams in Europe (prob 5th) but clearly a step down from Bayern.

Which is fine but its not too easy to see where they can strengthen - if you take tonight's 1st team but with Lichsteiner RWB its only really Quagliarella (occasionally brilliant) who is the obvious one to be upgraded.

The most satisfying thing about this is that we have the 4 best teams in Europe in the semis so the draw has worked out well.

Please let Barca draw Dortmund and Madrid vs Bayern.

You've got to be kidding.

It was like PSG didn't give a shit when Barca scored,didn't even press them high up and kept on fouling them.Only a matter of time before Barca get knocked out,they have been shit vs Celtic, PSG and 1 leg vs Milan.You can't win the CL if you can't defend and they don't control games like they used to.Teams get twice as many chances now to score against them.

I want Dortmund vs Madrid.(We all know how Bayern vs Madrid will turn out).

And Barca vs Bayern.If Bayern want to knock Barca of their perch as the best team in the world, what better way to do it than knock them out of the CL SF?

Mandzukic suspended for 1st leg of semi.

He works hard for the team and is maybe a better penalty box striker than Gomez but Gomez is quicker and can strike the ball with either foot from outside the box and I think is better.

Gomez is quicker than Manzukic? Maybe if Manzukic had one leg, but he happens to have two legs like Gomez.

@OptaJean: 100% - Xavi attempted and completed 96 passes tonight, a record since Opta started analysing the Champions League. Perfection.

What Final Four in the Champions League FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!

#1 Pizarro (most complete and talented Bayern striker by far!)
#2 Mandzukic (best 'team' striker for Bayern since he can track back to held the "D")
#3 Gómez (very good poacher)

The only reason Pizarro doesn't start is because of his age. Pizarro was ten times the player Mandzukic is right now at the same age. TFS!!!

Barcelona, Madrid, Bayern, Dortmund.

WOW!

Pizarro is from Peru.

And he may start for Bayern in the semifinal.

How many players from England remain in the CL?

Peru owning the CL. Again.

don't think their 3-5-2 matches up well against the Bayern's 4-2-3-1. Chiellini and Barzagli got drawn out by Robben and Ribery, which left Bonucci exposed.

A SWEET WIN IN ITALY

LOVED THE SAD FACES FROM BUFFON AND PIRLO

UTTERLY RAPED


and compared to gomez, mandz. is way slower, like i said numerous times, beside his workrate he is utter shit, 2 goals in the cl, gomez scored 12 last season,, but i can`t deny it, he is an animal in terms of working and pressing, thats also helpful for teammates, not sure if it`s as helpful as a nice lead, thats would gomez offer

PURO i wouldn`t be to excited, i am sure gomez will play

how good has die Bundesliga become

since 2010 we always had a german team in the semi final

bayern
schalke
bayern
bayern, dortmund

3 teams, while italy had just inter, england with united and chelsea, and spain with barca and madrid


its about time to win it, but barca is still the team to beat, messi can create goals out of nothing, they have to be beaten "again" to lose there immmortal status in the cl
