Semis obviously. We've beaten them in semis before, they've got a great record in finals, we've got a horrible one. I don't think too much of it though, I believe we can beat them in the final too (but would consider them slight favourites).
But isn't that also the reason to be a lil optimistic, I mean it has to end, right?
Ultimate final, a team that wins all its finals, and the one that loses lol

Atletico-Juve would be the 'who outchokes who' festival.

I just wish Real eliminate Bayern.

Bayern have a better midfield than us which can press better than Real. They also got a seasoned coach in Ancelloti. Also, we have not eliminated Bayern yet in the CL while we have done the job on Real.

They will have Martinez, Hummels and Lewa back in full fitness for the semis which has affected their performance in the quarters against Real. An off form Robben & Ribery is the only weakness a full strength Bayern have at the moment.

Should we go through and Real eliminate Bayern, I would like us to face Monaco/Dortmund while Real to face Atletico. On their good day, Atleti can do the job on Real if they get home leg first and then defend whatever they get from the first leg in the second.

I 100% agree that fully fit and functioning Bayern is more fearsome than Real. Lets deal with Barcelona first though, we need to finish off our tie and then see what the draw brings us

You know what choker means right? Atletico was never a favorite so they couldn't have choked in any of the finals. We were not favorites in all of them too. This choker thing is a bit misunderstood.

Granted that we reach the semi finals, I want whoever advances between Bayern and Real to be decimated by suspensions and why not injuries. So let's hope Bayern goes apeshit in Madrid and Real respond in a similar yet more barbaric manner.

We were favorites against Hamburg, Dortmund, Madrid, and Milan. We definitely choked Broski :D

I think Real vs Bayern will go to penalties :D

Atletico will beat Leicester 1-0, and our game with Barca will finish 3-2 to Barca.

Far too many people are underestimating Real imo. Bayern have been woeful away from home the last few seasons, I expect Real to see this one out comfortably.
After seeing bayern game against real and then this weekend against leverkusen... i think they are not in a good patch of form and on top of it, key players are injured/off form. They looked like something is missing and when bayern is in "bayern mode"..you dont see them like this.

I think they will not make it against real.

I expect Bayern to come out all guns blazing.

They got hit with a cheap shot in Munich and then their problems got much worse when Javi committed suicide for his team.

It's going to have lots of goals and I think the scoreline will be very close. Easily it could go to ET imo
