Worst match-up:

Bayern -> Chelsea
Real -> Bayern
Chelsea -> Real
Atletico -> Real


Real are in the final unless they face Bayern.

Real vs Chelsea

Bayern vs Atletico

would be the best possible result. Mourinho vs Real :worthy: and Bayern would have a bunch of problems against Atletico. I think Bayern vs Real will be the final then and I hope Bayern will trash them though I hope Atletico will make it this time..

So what? Courtois can play if Atletico and Chelsea face each other.

Just read Atletico will have to pay 9M if they want Courtois to play! Madness. I hope Atletico draws Bayern then.

I'm not sure. Even without Courtois, if Atleti can manage to score first, they can just park a giant bus (giving Mou a taste of his own medicine). I also think Bayern are capable of taking out Madrid. If Atleti drew Bayern, we'd definitely have to suffer through one of Madrid or Chelsea being in the final. Then again, if neither of those above scenarios happens, we could potentially have one of the most disgusting CL finals ever from a Barca fan's perspective.

True.

So let's pray for a Bayern - R€al and a Chelski - Atletico draw. Imo this way we have the best chances of not seing any of the two antipathetic clubs in the final.

UEFA released a statement regarding Courtois:

“In response to media reports referring to the situation of Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, UEFA would like to reiterate its position,” the statement began.

“The integrity of sporting competition is a fundamental principle for UEFA.

“Both the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations contain clear provisions which strictly forbid any club to exert, or attempt to exert, any influence whatsoever over the players that another club may (or may not) field in a match.

“It follows that any provision in a private contract between clubs which might function in such a way as to influence who a club fields in a match is null, void and unenforceable so far as UEFA is concerned.

“Furthermore, any attempt to enforce such a provision would be a clear violation of both the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations and would therefore be sanctioned accordingly.”


So he can play, and Chelsea will be in trouble if they try to stop it.

UEFA have warned Chelsea that they will be sanctioned if they stop Thibaut Courtois from playing against them in the Champions League. He will be allowed to play.
