No, Real on their day could cause us some serious trouble. Their speed from the wings would hurt us, as it would kill our offensive game and provide us no width due to our wing backs falling back.

Oscar against Chelsea did a decent job on Pirlo. I fail to understand why Ozil wouldn't do as much as a decent job as him in a much better team.

Ofcourse they would but i just meant to say ,assuming we sit back against all three sides(Bayern,Barca,Madrid) i would prefer Madrid out of these three because i think the former two are much more dangerous in possession and Madrid are better off being a counter-attacking team.I have seen a no.of games in La Liga where Madrid have so much of the ball and have looked very drab in those circumstances.(Even the United game showed shades of that plus we definitely ae better than United as a defensive unit).If Vidal can mark Alonso out of the game ,then Madrid would struggle big time imo.They are too much dependant on him atm.

The only upside of facing Real is their weak defense. Maybe we can score more goals at home than we conceded away.

I wouldn't feel at loss either way - let us face Barca or BM and beat them. It would feel even better to go through that way.

Of course, but at this point I'd prefer facing Galatasaray or Porto/Malaga than the top 3. Anything can happen, I know, but our chances against them would be better.

I want us to draw Barca. We'll destroy them.

Flame me all you want but i dont want Pirlo to get embarrassed again in the game like Spain-Italy final.Plus i believe he's well below his form of last year.I really believe Barca's pressing will be too much for him.

It's not, he's right. Barca press the heck out of the first pass, and with Pirlo tendacy to lose the ball, trumble under pressure, the defence will find itself so many times exposed, The only way to beat an inform barca, the one we saw yesterday is to skip the MF, play direct long balls to the attackers in the space and don't give them the chance to press in our half. Something Mourinho executed to perfection with Inter.
