One more thing accordin to which i hate Bayern... its because they are "the only power" in German football. (Not keeping in mind current and prior season) I mean to say that they are the only club which could be considered as a TOP one. So they think that they can easily capture every player in GBL. This annoying situation with Vidal. The same one has happend with Diego. Now they want Hewedes, Hummels, Getze and so on... That annoy me. So this case with Bayern Borussia and Marko Reus has pleased me very much =)

it seems that you're not watching bundesliga. bvb became something like a kriptonite for bayern. they won the league again, that's really a performance for a club that was almost in our situation years ago. they won't let their stars to go...bayern wanted reus too and he chosed bvb.

I have mentioned not to count last seasons when BvB is quite tough rival for Bayern. But with all respect you can't say that Borussia is a TOP team. They remind me Napoli. Also a great leap into the list of the tough teams, also has saved their top players... but the difference is that in Italy there are more solid and tough teams than in GBL where all depends on Bayerns fit. Borussia showed their class in CL and than in LE.

Chelsea with 4 shots on goal...at Stamford Bridge. :sergio: I'd ask for my money back if I bought a ticket.

Still not as bad as Milan's 3 shots on goal in the 2nd leg of the quarters. :sergio: :sergio:
Well, back in 2009 Barca had 0 shots on goal at Stamford Bridge until the last minute when Iniesta scored and his team made it to the final. Yet noone complained and everyone was talking about the attacking football Barca played against the negative Chelsea, even though that same defensive and negative Chelsea had like a billion shots on goal in that same match.

Personally, I'd pay triple price for a ticket to see my team beat Barca, even if my team won't make a single shot on goal and Barca score an owngoal.

Chelski didn't deserve to win, they were hanging on like a clear second best team, at home, for large parts of the game. But Barfa missing chances like that was fucking hilarious. Choke, choke. Busquets is a turd and it was nice to see him sky that late chance.

Valdes is a shit keeper with shit technique.

Oh, and Drogba embarrasses himself with that playacting stuff he pulls in CL matches. That is bad old cheating Drogba, that it was against Barfa is only small consolation.

Here's food for thought, when the refereeing was fair and barca players weren't diving and complaining they lost. Can anyone give an explanation for that? Alen?

Chelsea is the only team in semis that never won a CL before?

Forza Chelsea.
It's a tough one, I'd love to see the look of disappointment on Abramovich's face every single year for the next 30. But then I'd love to see the same on the faces of all personnel of the teams left in the competition.

And here is another....if the ref gave a penalty in the first half for that foul on Iniesta outside the penalty area, were people gonna say that despite the gifted penalty Barca deserved to win because they had more possession and they were gonna win anyway even without the penalty?

I know that Bianconero, Fred, Osman and am000000000 were gonna say that. :agree:

Agree, that would be fun. Don't like Chelsea, but It's a case of choosing the lesser evil.

I don't wanna see Real get their 10th, Barca once again dominating Europe and being the first team to win it 2 times in a row or Bayern winning their 5th (or 6th) CL in Allianz Arena.

guess what, all teams have been doing that against barca since pep taken over, I won't be surprised if this conte's juve play such style against them next year; like it or not, any teams would almost be guaranteed to conceded goals if they played an orthodox open game against this barca... although I'd like to see someone pulling an offensive 3-7-0 with powerful box to box, balanced (capable to attack and defend equally good) and quite technical midfielders who have long range shooting accuracy like Nedved's to score goals from long range, only then barca would crumble and shattered IMO, no need to send any players through their penalty box, simply troll them from long range.

Barca's defense is decent at best and they have an idiot in goal. They get constantly troubled by aerial balls and if the Chelsea players were more smart, they could easily have countered Barca more because of their high offside trap, which wasn't even synchronized. Just that the Chelsea players (I'm looking at you Drogba) was so far away from the defence that they couldn't make any use of it. I'd say Matteo's plan was perfect, the execution not so much.

There's a difference between playing a tactical 'defensive' game and hanging on for dear life.
