UEFA Champions League 2015/16

[MENTION=7430]DennyCrane[/MENTION], he couldn't've said something that would make him look worse than he looks now even if he tried.

And also, the format of the Champions League is for the football of moments. 180 mins is too small of a window for the better team to consistently win against the smaller, often more passionate clubs. 180 mins (or 210 mins) is just enough for surprises to happen quite often. It's what it makes the CL interesting.

Bayern fans must feel like us in 2010 and 2012. It's hard to take it but life goes on and Bayern can challenge again and win again just like they did before pep.

Bayern felt quite similar in 2012 against Chelsea aswell. But I personally think that these defeats feel better than our 5-0 loss vs Madrid, or your 7-0 loss vs us. I can take playing good but not advancing, that's a lot better than those high scoring defeats in which you get absolutely ridiculed and laughed at.

 

[DennyCrane]

Man, they've eliminated 2 strongest teams in the world that also dominated last 4 years.

What did he say?

He said that Atletico have no place in that stage of the CL (which were the quarter-finals at the time he said it).

 

[Aryagorn]

injury, also Benzema out

Are we sure man? I mean CR7 was also unavilable for at least a month last week but he is gonna start tomorrow!

someone should remind Rummenigge about his comments about Atletico from a few weeks ago.

What did he say?

There are many ways to play football.
Possession football isnt the only one.
If you stop your opponent from scoring while scoring enough goals yourself, you deserve it

Cholo will definitely be suspended for the final.

Oh yeah, and you also had your Inter episode in that Final.
Results can be decieving though and it's a matter of context
We felt the world is ending when pep left and your fanbase is actually looking forward seeing pep leave.

Michael Owen, is that you?

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Michael Owen, is that you?

That would explain some stuff.

On a different note, it's now relatively likely to have both the CL and EL finals as all-spanish matches.

As DonAk posted earlier, the man he pushed is Pedro Pablo. The one standing next to him donning the UEFA logo is the Fourth official.

Surely you can tell the resemblance..

Don't want another all-Spain CL final.... The last two times it happened, Real won it!

Experience does help here and they have tons of it

Well Inter won absolutely deservedly there, 2-0 was not deceiving that day. I personally hold no grudges vs Pep, the criticism about him is very over the top. He has his flaws in terms of flexibility in the tactics department, but had he never joined Bayern then they might have gone back to a second tier team once Robben, Ribery, Lahm, Schweinsteiger etc retire. Now Bayern has a lot of great young players to fill the void.
I think Pep will be remembered similar to Van Gaal, not someone who was incredible during his reign, but someone who inherited a new Bayern that future coaches can work very well with.

So the Bayern fans were furious at Pep that he didn´t start Müller in the 1st leg and now Pep does but he misses the pen.Brilliant.

Yeah, that just shows that pep is genius, if the massive uproar for muller didn't happen alonso would have taken that peno and it would be 2-0 in the first half, game over.
