if barca play atletico they will beat them as they have every single game this season. real vs atleti would be a better matchup imo.. atletico have had real's number as of late, not losing to them once this season.Oof pens rip, a cruel way to be eliminated. But hey, at least we now know that Real Madrid and Barcelona are cringing at the idea of playing Atletico Madrid. Not that it's guaranteed they'll play both, or either, but I want to see them in the final again, this time against Bayern Munich the current best team in the world right now imo.
Despite Dortmund being a terrible team I thought they'd beat Juventus because Juve are completely heinous in the CL, as are basically all Italian teams since Mourinho stole the soul of them a few years ago I thinkDortmund are out :( They never had even the slightest chance of winning the whole thing but I expected them to knock Juve out at least. Next year's gonna be weird, can't imagine Champions League football without them with their signature yellow kit :( Like Arsenal, City were pretty much out already. Everyone sucked with the exception of Hart, he was on another level. Nice dive from Agüero and an even nicer penalty. I was surprised to see it given, the dive was clear as day.
Bayern Munich should comfortably win, but let's not forget that even though Monaco are generally limited in attack, they still have very good defensive solidity apart from the 2nd leg, and it won't be easy for Juventus to score many goals (I still think Juventus will advance though).PSG vs Barca
Atletico vs RM
Porto vs Bayern
Juve vs Monaco
PSG vs Barca and Atletico vs Real are two very interesting Matches. I think Barca will beat PSG since they're in an amazing condition but it should be very close. I think Athletico vs Real will be even closer but if Real will play like they did against Schalke in the second game, Atletico will probably win. Bayern vs Port and Juve vs Monaco shouldn't be that close.
i agree... i think porto/bayern will be closer than most people expect. i could see porto getting at least an away goal. i dont think bayern will do anything close to the thrashing they gave shakhtar.I don't think people should sleep on Porto. Porto have a very nice squad and players like Brahimi, Tello, and Herrera have been playing great recently. They should also have Jackson Martinez back from injury by then. I reckon Porto can give Bayern a run for their money.
Yes, they were since they were on the front foot for the entire second half. Real Madrid couldn't keep the ball beyond midfield and Barcelona were always attacking in numbers from those situations.Barça were the better team overall and deserved to win, Suarez took his goal really well. And Mascherano seemed to think he's a really good actor just because he resembles Jon Cryer rofl.
pretty sure he won't get minutes anyway, also England have yet to produce a good enough defensive midfielder since Owen Hargreaves."oh no we lost lallana lets call up the worst cm in the premier league"
some amazing decisions have to happen to result in a mason call up... a dm who tries to play aggressively with the ball but is bad at it and is absolutely terrible defensively because he just runs around randomly and wont pick up attackers ever is exactly what england needs!
