Imagine this real winning against bayern we loosing against juve. Bamm athletico vs real final:lol: and real again cl winner. this would be too much for my nerves..
Calm down, mate, this won't happen. You have my guarantee. Bayern will almost certainly advance to the next stage. Believe me, I was one of rare ones on this forum to predict (and believe in) Barca's comeback vs PSG.

If Bayern keeps up their recent form they will beat Real Madrid without questions.

The key is they need to build up a convincing lead at the Allianz without conceding more than one goal (doable) and then have a strong performance at the Abu Dhabi by scoring at least one away goal (also doable).

I think rm will get through. Too many people thinking they will be demolished.

I feel the same, too! In knockout stages like this, if the quality between the two teams is not much different, I d place my bet on the underdog cuz they ll probably fight harder than the other one n play more than 100% of what they can!

Great draw, amazing matches coming on. I'm looking forward to Bayern demolishing Real on both legs. Ancelotti knows Real very well and will be able to expose all of Real's weak point. I don't give Real a lot of chances on advancing through the semi finals. They finally get an equally strong opponent.
As far as our tie is concerned, I'm not afraid of Juve. If we managed to come back from a 4:0 deficit with conceding an away goal from PSG, then nothing can stop us really this season. This comeback was meant to be, this team is meant to achieve great things in this season. It wasn't for nothing for sure. Great CL so far.

Did you just compare Juventus with PSG :lol:

OK, then you would place the money on Real Madrid since they are the underdog in this tie. Bet365 has 1.80 stake on Bayern to win. That's quite low stake for someone that is an underdog, don't you think?

Juventus is slightly above PSG on quality of the players but not that much. On a good day on Camp Nou, we can put at least 6 goals behind anyone's net. We proved that against PSG and we can prove it again. :p Visca!

Same here. Although I don't know if they'll get through, I don't see them being demolished. Bayern have looked shaky for months and players are openly complaining about being unhappy (Kimmich,Costa). He insists on the ancient Alsonso playing each game. Leizpeg were a cute story for a while but at the same time he was struggling with setting the team. Don't really know why they've gotten such a heavy favorites tag in the competition. I think even we could take them if needed.

Man I think you are going wayyyyyy overboard. 6 goals behind anyone's net? Juventus is not Granada.

I do not agree at all it is a good draw. Juventus is a top 4 team in the world. It's not an impossible draw, but Juventus can knock out any team, already did knock Madrid out, and should've knocked out Bayern as well last season. A really tough draw, and you can bet everything that Juventus is not a team that would mess up a good lead in the away leg. We need to score in Turin and come up with a good result.

Hate it that we're playing against Alves as well.

Only good thing about the draw is that Bayern and Madrid play each other. But Juve is clearly better than Leicester, Monaco, and Dortmund, and around the same level with Barca, Madrid, Bayern and Atletico.

Barca - Juve and Madrid - Bayern are 50-50 ties for sure.

PSG was not Granada before the second match too. We knew what happent then. Never underestimate the power of the Camp Nou and the power of one of the best attacking trio (MSN) in the history of football.

Because Ancelotti seemed to have ditch his 4-3-3 and things started to click for Bayern since more than a month ago. They are MUCH better today compared to the pre-February Bayern, even the sluggish Mueller is coming back to life. And they finally have a fully-fit squad in like what, 5 years or something?

We lost to Alaves at Camp Nou and barely beat Leganes at Camp Nou this season. One historical comeback bumped up so many people's expectations as if we were the king the world. The loss to Deportivo shows we are still the same old team that has many problems, despite having a better formation in 3-4-3.

Seriously, Juventus is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better than PSG, from the manager to the players.

Juve players also have a lot of experience. They're not weak minded like psg players and their coach. That 6-1 would never happen to a team like Juve.
