Champions League 2013/2014

Working hard won't be nearly enough to help against Iniesta and Neymar and Alba on that flank, he'll get completely overwhelmed no matter how much he runs. I do admit Alaba is better defensively, but I think Alba compensates that with his stamina and workrate. And I would compare the CBs, Dante is currently better than our starters but Boateng slides in every time the ball comes near him and Neymar and Messi will be able to easily draw fouls from him.

Well I'd say Ribery+Alaba vs Alves is a bigger worry for us than Neymar+Alba vs Rafinha is for them. Effort does matter in this sense, since at the very least Rafinha will be able to hold his flank much better than Alves will even if he doesn't offer as much in attack. Plus, who's to say that Pep wouldn't play Lahm as RB against us since he's probably only playing him as DM because Martinez and Thiago are out. CB's are even less of a contest.

Lol some people have a short memory. Both teams had more or less the same back lines only a few months ago so I think your optimism is commendable but clearly tinted with bulagrana bias.

I think I was the only one who said Zenit will go through with Atletico. They won in Porto tonight.

Witnessing Schalke beaten by Chelsea is really disappointing. (Not siding with them) I would have expected more from this other Russian oil club.

Only one game worth watching here to be honest, even though both teams have been playing poorly. Juventus need a positive result here.

Also be pretty interesting to see what Sociedad can do.

Last meeting in 2008, Alex Del Piero received a standing ovation.

well, that didn't take long ...I expect at least a 4-0 win for RM

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

Juve always, ALWAYS play like garbage whenever I actually cheer for them.

Come on guys.

 

[Luftstalag14]

Face it, RM is on the rise while we are stagnant. They have improved a lot in the last couple of games.
