Champions League 12/13

Nope, but Lahm and Dante are only one yellow away from suspension.

thanks...
and from our side i think alba & pique 1 away from suspension.

Let's not push our luck with this suspension talk. No matter which of Bayern's players get suspended for the 2nd leg, they won't nearly be in as much trouble as we will if Pique or Alba get suspended.

kroos is out! glad, otherwise he would have completely outshone xavi.. now the debate can live a bit longer

You still have Bastian Schweinsteiger. Iniesta will have to go up against Ribery... A really tough one this time.

 

[DennyCrane]

Messi can do something about that

At least Dante will sooner or later get himself a yellow vs Leo, I'm pretty sure of that.

That would be an advantage for us... With their usual main striker off, we have to against Gomez. I don't know whether to say that's a good thing or bad thing..

Mandzo is only suspended for the first leg; Kroos is the guy with the six week injury. But nevertheless, it's definetely an advantage.

Actually if Dante gets sent off it will be a big blow for Bayern.

Didn't know that Iniesta or Ribery were defenders Ribery will go up against Alba and Iniesta against Lahm.

As far as style of football is concerned, the draw favors Dortmund, not Real. Real may be the favorites, but as several people mentioned already, they're clueless against their fellow counterattacking teams, and Dortmund already put on a good performance against them earlier this season.

BTW I'd much rather lose to Bayern and than lose to Madrid in the semis.

Yeah. I think Dortmund would have been better for us, but I'm not sure. I mean, don't Bayern play possession football like us? While Dortmund have a more counter-attacking style.

Yes to both which will make the match so very interesting

Hah! I didn't mean it that way. It will be amazing to see them competing their skills in the field..

I know you didn't; couldn't resist, though :beer2:

Ribéry up against Alves i guess and hopefully Iniesta wont play on the wing

Ah, messed up the sides. Fail on my side, thanks for the correction

And yes to no Iniesta on the wing.

Yep, Alba and Pique. Adriano is suspended. I'm not sure how many yellows Song has, but I think he also has two already.

Also, I forgot Gustavo who's also one yellow away from suspension. And Badstuber is also injured.

 

[Flavia]

Dante, Luiz Gustavo, Lahm, Alba, Pique and Song all have 2 yc cards, one away from suspension. 3 for each.

I wanted Dortmund. But honestly I'd rather take Bayern, than RM.

Bring it on! 2nd leg at home is good news though.

Knowing that Madrid is probably better in a one leg game?

Don't know, at this point, it would be silly to be happy / unhappy about any draw. We're the best team history has ever witnessed, we were better, but we're still the best, time to prove that.
