Could you help us pray that we will win the CL please with God's help? Please. I am serious.

Nah, i don't pray for football Luft.
I watch football as a break from my work.

I don't even get hurt when Barca lose,
I don't even hate it when Madrid win UCL 3 times in a row.

I don't care for football.

There are things of eternal value, and they are the ones i devote my time praying for.

Football is just a game.

I'm also serious

Really don't understand how Barca fans are so optimistic about a tie with Real Madrid. Although I agree that Barca are best placed to take down Madrid, primarily due to mental edge, RM still start as favorites, regardless of whether it's a semi or final. It'll be entirely up to the form of the day as I don't believe either team is structurally much better than the other. RM will start as favorites because they have the better players and seem to just turn it on in the CL.

They weren’t even impressive. Juve caused them trouble before the red. I expect Guardiola to expose the crossing merchant or us to finish the job with Messi

Not too confident with Bayern

You don't understand. It's not how it works. For instance, Bayern succumb against Real but destroys us. At the same time we are always better than Real Madrid (except the supercup). The reason is that we are the only team that has midfield better than RM (in El Clasico). And Ronaldo and the teammates are trained especially in a way that, he appear out of no where inside the box to score. Watch the first goal, Ronaldo waited and waited and when Isco reached the edge of penalty box, he started to run forward. While Benzema was standing like a tree giving the illusion of static play to the defenders. And most interesting thing is that, Isco passes the ball in front of the defender. And Ronaldo who already started his run now appear out of nowhere to score the goal at the top corner in exactly the same way they rehearsed millions of times in training ground. But against Barca, this is an outdated tactic and Ronaldo's movement is less efficient since, Barca has the most intelligent defenders in terms of game reading and positional play.

So, you better their Midfield and contain Ronaldo, you're left with their disorganized defense and Messi.

I am not talking about goals scored, i am talking about the quality that you claim we have but is not seen on the pitch

I hope Real get City in the next round, and we get Bayern. Bayern will be by far the weakest team in the semis. Only Barca and City can stop Real, all other teams will be crushed.

Don’t believe he is underestimating RM, but Juve is not the one to give RM a run for their money. I really enjoy watching fans already throwing in the towel based off this game already :rolleyes:

So who is? Because Bayern got dominated home and away(in 2014 they lost 5-0 on aggregate), Juve got dominated, Atletico has been eliminated from Real in CL in 2014, 2016 and 2017 and Real always won against English teams.

You're overestimating. They're the clear favourites in this Champions League. But in an El Clasico Barca is always the better team.

Dude you lost 5-1 on aggregate at the start of the season and it could have been much worse. Saying Barca is always the better team in the Clasico is foolish. Even the 2-3 last year could very easily have gone the other way (I thought RM were the better team and deserved to win that game). The 0-3 this season came out of nowhere, and RM should have put the game to bed by the end of the first half.

It really depends entirely on the form of the day, to say that Barca is always better seems like a lie you're telling yourself to make yourself feel better.

What quality are you talking about here?
We have so much quality that Chelsea of all teams plays possession football in our backyard and succeed?
So what ? We completely destroyed them in 2012 but lost. We played the right game and won thats my humble opinion. You also forgot that every game is different. You prepare for match again Real differently then one against chelsea. I think the trick is to not let real score a goal early. They more the match drage on without a goal the more frustrated they get.
