:agree: Doesn't mean Real weren't incredibly fortunate with all those non existent calls going their way. Don't try and defend the indefensible. They are an absolutely disgusting team who definitely benefited from the calls over two legs. Had this same referee officiated a top clash in Serie A involving Juventus, he'd have been lynched and suspended for life.
I'm not defending the ref though. He was horrible.

However Bayern was incredibly fortunate last year against us. Morata onside goal disallowed. No penalty for Vidal handball. No foul for Lewandowski barging over Bonucci near midfield before 2nd goal.

Everything evens out. It sucks in the moment when decisions go against you, but once the immediate sense of injustice fades, you realize that all teams have lucky games with the ref, and unlucky games.
A clueless coach in Zidane winning back to back CL titles is a puke inducing prospect. It reminds me of Di Matteo and Riijkard winning the CL with Chelsea and Barca respectively. Limited "coaches" should never be afforded that opportunity.

I just hope we dispose of Barca tomorrow, and go on to win the whole fucking thing. It's about time!

Two wrongs don't make a right though, and the game certainly needs video technology. Sports like tennis and cricket have incorporated it to great success, but FIFA and UEFA are run by corrupt old men who don't care about the game.

I'd put money on us losing if we make the CL final though. Good thing Leicester got knocked out, that would be super embarrassing. Monaco or Dortmund would too for that matter.

with that Dutch ref. who is a generous in cards and soft fouls and the diving heros

still it is our game to lose.. we can score a goal or 2 and yet shut down our goal as possible.

Cuadrado and Dybala are no spring chickens when it comes to making the most of a bad tackle or foul. They have to be on their A game tomorrow, and so does Pjanic with his free kicks.

Clueless is a bit far. I think he's doing a good job but no doubt he has been fortunate.

Real haven't looked like a unit since Ancelotti was there so he has steadied the ship.

I will puke if he is the one to win back to back CL's. Found himself in the right place at the right time
