I have a confession to make.

I used to think that Serie A was poor, and that Italian Football was dull and boring. This season's games where I saw Juventus play Spurs, Roma / Barca and tonight's epic and 'oh so almost' encounter. Well, I'm sold. I'm a convert. And I take it all back.

Is it weird that I want Roma to go on and win this thing?

The thing with Bayern is they are much more structured/compact in defence compared to Barca, but Barca maybe slightly better in the offensive. But im not even sure they are that these days. Last year against you guys zero goals, against Roma away 0 goals, and at home two Roma own goals as well lol.

I know we also went trough against Sevilla for at least one goal also :D
Sevilla kept scoring goals, you guys advance:baus: Roma is good at it as well, they scored 5 against Barca sad barely advanced, sounds like a perfect opponent for Bayern

But seriously, cant see Roma and Pool beating you guys and Refal, Klopp is a one trick pony like Pep, will get exposed i reckon

Maybe Roma makes a Porto 2004, beat us or Real in semis, then handling Liverpool in the final :p
Real Madrid will make it a third I'm afraid. This result will only further their confidence, that 'things will turn out for them in the end.'

I like Bayern Munich, but they seemed to have lost a bit of their edge, and Liverpool and Roma's quality is not worthy to challenge Real.

I kinda agree with you. We are about to rebuild with Robbery not being what they used to be, but at least we found some quality replacements in other areas.

Pool are $#@!

Bayern will walk all over their face, let alone Real

Real will win this CL
Real will win one way or the other. They can play bad and uefa assist.

I dont find this Bayern all that.

Pool are doing great. I wouldnt underestimate them. Anfield is electric atmosphere. And Salah is right now a top3 player in world.

Im not betting man. But if Pool avoid Real they will make final. They will beat this Bayern. Real is only opponent they wont beay cause uefa will help Real.

I seriously think they will win it if Real fail. These $#@!ers were favoured once upon a time.

The teams pool had in 2005 and 2007 were hardly amazing either and they won and reach final.

People here underestimate the history and atmosphere.

Klopp is also really underrated. He reached final with Dortmund. Now he is in semis. He beat Man City 3 times this season. The supposed best epl team ever.

Pool are fearless right now. Relatively young team who has nothing to scare about.

This champions league has proved that experience is becoming more important than playing home or away. Previously, I remember when playing home was almost a guaranteed win, and the focus was about overturning it. Now it appears that home and away is becoming less decisive.

See what happens when you actually WATCH games from teams in a certain league and not just parrot tired and irrelevant stereotypes? Italian football has been exciting for a number of years now (on and off the pitch)

Yeah. I'm not sure my conversion warranted a lecture as a response. Don't go in for a career as a Priest or a counsellor, will you? :rab:
