1. In the sense that UEFA would set it up, similar to how the draw for the second round was the exact same as the rehearsals the day before

    Ah, I get you. If they were to set/cook it up, I think they'd prefer a Spain vs Spain / Germ vs Germ draw so both countries have a place in the finals. Lame but probable.
  3. Well the potential of having two derby matches for the semi-finals is probably too good to pass up. I'd rather tune into El Clasico one night followed by whatever the Bayern-Dortmund rivalry is labelled as the following night,
  4. This was class...

  5. Shame about the finish
  6. Totally - it should have been goal, and what a goal. Iniesta is so Zidane-ish, I adore him ♥
  7. He's a great player
  8. Iniesta is amazing, I also always like to watch Villa. Amazing striker imo, and I really can't stand Pedro... He is just so annoying, with his constant diving and whining against the ref.

    Bayern suprised me, they beat Juve pretty easy. I hope they will win the cup this year after they already lost 2 finals in the last 3 years.


  9. not unexpected at all .. level of our football is quite low lately

    my order of preference
    Real
    Borussia
    Bayern
    Barcelona

    Inter is yeah

    No but seriously, Juve made a good impression on me in the groupstage and also in the second round. Milan also suprised against Barca.

    My order of preference:
    Bayern: they play the best football of the moment imo and like I said I hope they will win after they already lost 2 finals
    Borussia: the stadium, players like Gotze, Reus and Lewandoski and I like Klopp.
    Barca: Messi, Iniesta, Villa are alright I wouldn't mind if they get it.
    Real: Mourinho, Ronaldo... Do I need to say more ?
  11. in the groupstage? not that hard as it seemed .. second round? come on was against Celtic when they met a real team they showed what they are .. Milan surpised you? jeez 4 - 0 hehe

    agree with what you say about the germans; first part about Bayern, even though Borussia way of playing is more enjoyable at some time
    .. and final will be at Wembley not at Westfalen
  12. Your right about Milan, they only suprised in the home match and they didn't had a very hard group. Its just that I thought when they sold Zlatan and Silva we wouldn't hear a thing from them anymore in the CL. Still they managed to beat Barca.

    Don't agree about Juve, Shaktar and Chelsea are good teams and it's quite a peformance for them to defeat both. And I liked they way they played in the groupstage, plus they have Pirlo

    Final is at Wembley again? second time in 3 years?
