Monaco made the Semis because they had a group of minnows and then played the 4th place teams from both EPL and Bundesliga. Man City and Dortmund are both in 4th place in their respective leagues and neither can defend worth shit, which is perfect for a young attacking team like Monaco.

Anything can happen in the CL, but I really don't see Monaco being able to stretch us or Atletico, and they will get punished on the counter... and Real probably has the firepower to outscore in the wide open matches those two would play, the same way Real blasted Napoli.

Come on dude. Monaco is nowhere near as good as Real Madrid or Atletico.
:agree:

They haven't played a decent team yet in the CL.

doesnt matter who we draw. with bayern and barca out, we are the best team in the tournament. the cl is ours to lose.
After watching Juve and Barca play against each other I realized that even with Barca still there we are the best team... (for now along with Real until we meet them and Juve make me change my mind :) )

Remember when there wasn't a snowball's chance in hell we could beat a top team with our "pussy" midfield.

:lol:

@Bianconero81 Looking at you bro.
:agree: Max is a master tactician. He has managed to mask our deficiencies by deploying a formation which utilizes our strengths. Cohesion, hard work, unity, and that element of surprise. I actually believe we can win this. I just can't handle losing another fucking final. Win it for Gigi.

precisely why I kinda want Real in the semis.

Neither would be preferable, but if we have to meet them, I'd rather do it over two legs.
I honestly don't know what would be better.

For some reason I think two legs would suit Allegri more than just one and another logical reason says that play in the final and it should be 50-50 with little bit of luck.

Fuck no. Real in the final is the worst possible scenario. Those fuckers know how to rise to the occasion in one off matches. I'd rather they lose in the semis, possibly to us.
You know what. At this point we've lost enough finals especially ones we were favoured in that losing another would just make me shake my head in disbelief and probably laugh with the heartbreak.

I don't care who we face or when. I'll believe in this team and cheer them on until the bitter end. I know they can do it and are easily good enough to do it. Does it mean they will? I have no clue. But they have a damn good chance and all the motivation and heart in the world. So I will believe in them against any team left.

I would rather watch Real - Juve final. Then Atletico - Juve. Who cares about chances, but the final Real Juve would be epic. And would cement us as top dogs. Winning a final against Real would be n times more prestigious then against Atletico or Monaco
