If AtM and Juve make the final, the former stand to lose their 3rd final in 4 seasons. And the latter, their 2nd final in 3 seasons, and fifth consecutively. Insane stats.

Also, I think in certain ties it's a distinct advantage to play a home game in the second leg, and Monaco is that type of tie. Hope we can keep our composure. This tie is Juve's to lose, if they get overconfident and make silly mistakes.

The second semi final is also as tricky. AtM like us, would have a better chance against Madrid over two legs IMO. They know them well, and are more tactically suited to a two legged tie. Also coz Simeone is a better tactician than Zizou, and 180 minutes of football is enough time to study an opponent and attack the weak areas as he will do.

I can see us go through, just can't pick which Madrid it will be. RM in a one leg tie would be favourites if they make it. And AtM would be wanting Ito shed off the chokers tag if they do too. Although ATM do look a little tired compared to previous seasons.
So basically despite winning it will be battle of the losers..

this is the ideal draw for UEFA and sets the stage for a Juve-Real Final. That would be blockbuster.

Imagine--- Real wins back to back becoming the first to do so in the CL, or Juve denies them that distinction, hands Gigi's first big ears, and erases our finals jinx.

In the end, even if Real make the final, let's not forget they are our bitches. We got this. But first Monaco is going to be a handful, we need to be careful.

We need to be focused. Monaco are a good and very offensive team. But it's quite obvious we are favourites.

Silly is saying that for a medium size team like Monaco losing a final against PSG is meaningless... Give me a break, please watch that game and see how PSG owned Monaco in every aspect of the game... Nonsense comments
The nonsense comment is bringing up a loss from freaking august and a meaningless group stage game as proof of anything.
I didn't say the loss against PSG was necessarily meaningless, just that it doesn't tell the whole story about the team and that Monaco has dominated PSG in the two league games they played. Losses happen in a season, including bad ones.

Didn't Real Madrid lose 4-0 in the league against Atletico and like a month later went on to eliminate them from the champions league in 2015?
