CL semis: Bayern - Barca 3-2 (3-5 agg.)

[Barcilliant]

Also we HAVE to play Mathieu at cb. Mascherano simply won't be able to deal with Bayerns aerial assault. They will keep knocking in crosses. Look at the Porto game.

I find it hilarious how Real Madrid continues to get the best draws every time. They always have a cakewalk until the semi finals, and of course they get the best draw this time too.

The porto game shouldn't be the reference since they were missing their best LB and RB, so ofc they killed them on the flanks, doesn't mean they'll always do that, and doesn't mean they'll be able to do it against us.

Anyone know which players are going to miss the game/s due to injury?

From Bayern's thread: Alaba and Badstuber are definitely out. Martínez might miss the tie due to not being match fit at all as he has been out since August 2014. Benatia might miss the first game as well.

Barca has everyone fit and ready.

Those Madrid bastards always get an easy draw. I knew this would happen.

Yeah. Atleti this month and a full on German knockout stage last year. What easy draws

Schalke and last years dortmund were really hard.

From a biased barca perspective it feels Real keep facing the likes of Galatasaray, Apoel, Schalke and shot past prime Dortmund every year in an easy route towards the final while B arca gets strong opponent and champion every single round for years

But honestly the fair thing would have been Barca vs Juve and Real vs Bayern, but there is no justice/karma/fairness in world sport.

Pfft this season's Atleti is mediocre. It's Barca who faced them last season when they were firing on all cylinders.

Schalke and Dortmund & Atleti past their best, really tough.

You do know toughness of the draw is team-relative? Real didnt win on German soil for 15 years or something prior to last year and we got 3 of their best teams in a row lol. Remember that Tom and Jerry cartoon that got posted thousands of times in this forum before the Bayern semis?

Atleti wasn't tough tough.. Guys.. We have not won a game against them this year before Wednesday...

 

[pattegrisen]

I think it pretty easy when it isnt harder opponents then you normally get in a copa del rey season to get to a Cl final. And the only german team that is good is bayern anyway

Please... Schalke and Dortmund in L16 and QF are as easy as it gets these days and also last year.
