Shouldn't it be the other way around, according to ZenI's explanation? As Pedro hasn't "retired". Cesc is also in the Other players section.

Bayern lucky as usual. I'm not surprised.

Neuer actually slips as he comes out, so he does play a part on that goal as well. He would've been on time to clear otherwise. But mostly Alaba's mistake. :lol: @ Boateng being the best CB though. Please.

Imagine Neymar, Luis Suarez and Leo Messi in front of Busquets, Rakitic and Iniesta! Oh wait...

Game on :lol:

Except for staying with us he couldn't make a better choice than going to Chelsea.

Athletic didn't park the bus in any of the two matches though?

How did we struggle? Creating chances and not being able to finish them is not what I would call struggling, just being unlucky. The only time we truly looked like the second best team was against Chelsea in 09. No comparison to not being able to create any meaningful scoring opportunities as in...

Good choice. Better than going to United.

Thiago Silva. ... or the supposedly new one, Marlon Santos.

To be fair we haven't really met those kinds of teams after Guardiola's departure. Every season we faced a Mourinho team parking the airplane in the Champions League. Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid and Chelsea again. I don't think it's fair to say it was a weakness. Any team struggles against that.

Can, who was the difference maker at Stoke once again not starting. Disappoint.

Not really sure about them. Once Favre leaves, I believe they'll return to mediocrity. He's definitely the best thing that happened to the club. The core of Ter Stegen, Dante, Neustädter and Reus they had in 2011/12 was absolutely fantastic though.

Silva :wub: Still the boss

Strange decision from Mourinho to play an open match. Park the bus like Arsenal did or Chelsea usually do ffs.

Next Thiago Silva? Sign him up immediately. Though, 18 years old and already that much pressure on him...

Playing for team that finally has a gameplan in possession helps him. But he's always been a beast.

Tuchel :worthy: Refreshing seeing Dortmund having a clear plan in possession rather than just typically relying on counter attacks.

Alaba and Lahm at full back? What sorcery is this?

That Chelsea game was probably the most undeserved outcome I've witnessed. Inter were lucky too but at least played and defended well while Chelsea were 100% fortunate. How come we always faced a Mourinho (or ex) team in the semis during the Guardiola era? Chelsea 09, Inter 10, Real 11 and...
