Champions League 12/13

They can't even use that Malaga offside argument. The ball was going in anyway...

IF (and that's a big if, PSG are a great side) we go through tomorrow..who do we want to play in the SF:
Real Madrid, Dortmund or Bayern?

Dortmund for me.

Feel sorry about Antonio Banderas. He happens to be a Malaga fan, being born there, and his wife's ancestry is partly German. I bet he'll punish her in Desperado style.
What a game! The ref made many mistakes and both teams suffered from his decisions, but in the other hand that turned the game to a heartbreaking thriller. Bravo ref!

With better luck Galatasaray could have spanked the white ballerinas, how pity they missed the chance. Great goals from Galata.

Ye Dortmund I'd say. I wouldn't mind Bayern either. I reckon we'd beat Madrid in the final but not over two legs.

there were 7-8 players on one line within a few meters, you really expect the linesman to see every single player and know which one touches the ball first etc etc etc? Look at the linesman´s position, he could barely see anything because so many players stood on one line

I hate to say it but I think Madrid have a good chance on winning this year.

I just want a simple 2-0. No excitement or twists tomorrow.

 

[Irish_Cules]

It looks like Dortmund are defending and Mallaga attacking

Nope, Bayern will kick their ass. And if we have at least one of Pique or Puyol + Messi, we will kick their ass. :beer2:

Madrid has a better chance of losing if they play Bayern or Dortmund instead of us in the semis. They can easily beat us due to our horrible defense. Against German opposition they seem to always struggle.

Agreed. I hope they meet Bayern in the semis and Dortmund in the final. O wait

Offside calls have gotten worse lately, either by incompetence or design but either way its embarrassing on this level...The close/marginal decisions are part & parcel of the game, IMHO, but the obvious ones are inexcusable - these refs should never see a big match again

 

[DonAndres]

I think Real/Bayern will be favorites this year. If Barca don't go through, I will pray daily that Bayern or someone else who is not Real will walk away with the CL this year.

I'm fairly sure Cristiano had one offside too. Somehow the glasses were back on when Drogba scored his offside goal for 4-1. Inzaghi must think he retired too early

You think Madrid have a better chance of beating Barca than Dortmund? I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I'm not going to base Barca's performance off a horrible period where Milan also dicked Barca 2-0.

Madrid have been the worst of those 4 teams in the CL this season. They barely got out alive against a very good but not great United team and the scoreline have flattered them in both legs against the weakest team left in the competition (Gala).

I wouldn't have them as favourites against any of Barca, Bayern or Dortmund(50-50 i'd say with them). Their success against Barca is giving a false illusion IMO.

Madrid are only in the conversation because everything is going their way. We can all thank Cakir for starting the ball rolling.
