I never said he is a tactical genius, but he know how to make players to give their 100% every match.

Maybe I was wrong when I said anyone could do that, but no way Guardiola is a better coach than Mourinho, Klopp, Jupp.
Put Guardiola in a team like Dortmund right now, and let's see if he can win at least one title in 10 years. Hell NO.

They are not giving 100% every match. That's one of their biggest problems in League and cup games.

Klopp has won fuck all in his career. All his teams have been great to watch, playing this style of football, beating much superior sides for fun like his Dortmund vs Real Madrid which you being a Real Madrid fan would know very well, but in the end all he got are two league titles when Bayern were getting bettered by the likes of Schalke.

Mourinho also, has done fuck all for many years now.

To claim Pep is inferior to Mourinho and Klopp is madness. If he was that bad then why is Mourinho's Man Utd looking crap in the Premier League despite spending close to the amount Man City have? And why does Klopp's teams always falter against average to mediocre teams?
 
Bayern is in way better form than Barcelona. I think Liverpool and Real look the strongest.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are the two best teams. Real Madrid has the best attack. Barcelona has the best control. Of all the teams in the semi final, it's most difficult to score against Barca. And Iniesta is showing his 2011 form. Suarez too is lethal now. With well rested Messi, Barcelona are the favourites to win the CL.

Until yesterday I thought it was Real Madrid. Not anymore We control the 90 mins like no other team.

All the managers are best. We cannot rank anyone higher than others. Where was Dortmund before Klopp and after Klopp? How many of your expected Liverpool would be considered one the four best teams in Europe? Mourinho l, currently underperforming doesn't take anything away from his achievements.

Pep has never had a good record in away champions league knock outs even with Barca. We actually did better away from home with Lucho....

I don't get it, Real does not look good at all, yea the have taken their chances, but had alot of mistakes defensively and are not looking like a team to control games. They have not played better than us, but for some reason people consider them favorites?

They haven't controlled CL games in quite a while in their previous campaigns eithe. There were always passages were they looked lost, even against Wolfsburg and Schalke, yet they managed to score from a single counter against the run of play, and then score 2 more in the following 10 minutes.

Dortmund were 8th place when Klopp left and Tuchel got them to 2nd place, then 3rd place and a CL QF the season after where they had to play after a bomb attack on their bus which players on their teams are still struggling with, some players needing therapy daily.

Pep and CL away games are like a match made in hell.

It's shocking in all honestly how his teams systematically collapse tactically and mentally. Just shatter into oblivion.

yeah thats true but when Tito was ill we had Jordia Roura and got torn to shreds by Bayern with Messi+Xaviesta

That was the 5th year of TikiTaka also.
Each new year=a harder to win with the same style because opponents are more and more used to it and know how to neutralize it.

Pep is the master of beating inferior teams.
And he sucks against big boys in KO matches.

Klopp doesn't know how to win against small teams consistently.
But is better against big boys than Pep.

I am not saying that Klopp is better than Pep.
But Pep is a very stubborn and strange manager.

I too want Barca - Real final. A well rested, prepared and motivated Barca facing a team that always takes rest for the entire year only to appear in CL. They won't have the extra advantage of resting players in league games while our players diligently strive for three titles. And most importantly, it's we who performs at the highest under pressure.

On the contrary, its EV who will not rest key players till the title is secured by points whilst Zidane rotated as hell as he is no longer aiming the title, Barca is also fighting ATM for the league.

It is amaze that all the champions league ties are over after first leg.

I hope we get Real Madrid next. I know I would be nervous through both legs because fear of losing to them is omg but I think we are only team that can stop them.

I think we could struggle against Liverpool because they attack is very good and they counter attack is better than Chelsea
