- Thread starter JCK
- Start date
I was annoyed at the cautious approach but at the same time it was necessary due to Shaktar's fast transitions. Conceding a goal would have been disastrous. The defenders were superb namely Chiellini and the wingers even though conservative did a good job to stop Shaktar's wide midfielders to play their game. Willian was forced to play behind the strikers because of Lichtsteiner's intensity. Vucinic did a huge defending game and Pogba was my outstanding player out there. Exhaustion appeared clearly on the players in the end but the calmness showed superiority and the home game against the Ukranians was simply an underestimation of the team. From now on it is only serious approaches, our team can go far....we are that strong.

Pogba MOTM? Dafuq, can't say I agree at all, tbh. 
Even though he played a good game overall, he was too laid-back at times and gave some easy balls away. We were lucky that Shakhtar wasn't more effective in using those chances.
I thought Chiellini was MOTM, but I thought Licht and Vidal was great as well.

So long as we meet Milan in the final and win 
The only teams who are capable of eliminating Barca are Real Madrid and Bayern and since both cant be drawn against them I picked Milan who can make the most damage
If my wish comes true then Juve Barca Bayern/Real Dortmund Shakhtar Malaga Celtic and Man Utd will go through IMO
