The truth is that Real Madrid could easily have scored 2 or 3 more tonight. Bayern might not score if they continue playing after Real go into the dressing room, they'll just continue passing it.
Does possession obsession only work if you have Messi in your side?
0 - 4 :eek:
Stupid Pep :dozey:
IMO, as a renowned armchair specialist, the tactic of 'resting' the team for a month backfired. I think it would have been better for Bayern to risk some injuries then letting key players go on vacation.
Pep seems to be a one trick pony.
Gotze said he went to Bayern to work with Guardiola. Work at what?
Even that did not work last year or this year for that matter (mind you both times he was coming off injuries and looked off)Quote:

Martinez on for Mandzukic? baffling! - I would rather lose 5-3 or 4-2 than 0-2.
This could become another year when I might give the final a miss if it is Chelsea v Madrid (last final I did not watch was Chelsea v ManUtd - hard to be a neutral or take a side in any of these games)
While I agree Messi's injuries have affected him, I would just point out he has become the first top level player I believe to score 40 goals in 6 consecutive
seasons for club and country
Still pretty impressive.
2008/2009: 41
2009/2010: 48
2010/2011: 57
2011/2012: 82
2012/2013: 69 -missed 1.5 months with injury
2013/2014: 42 *Ongoing missed best part of 3 months over season
just 42 goals in a season... piss-poor. I wonder how they can still stand him.
chelski - real is quite a dream final for me as well. I can't decide which one I dislike most. I guess I could feel for a few seconds something remotely close to satisfaction if real finally wins 'la decima' in the first year after the departure of the special one.. right against the special one... I still hope though Atletico beats the living days out of both of them
your best bet would be to hope they had a mass brawl in the final and it was abandoned and they are both banned for 5 years by the sounds of it.
Vamos Atletico
Balls :dozey:
balls :dozey:
oh well, at least it was the niño ...
:D :D :bananas:
the whole bus fell asleep ! :laugh:
That dino Torres :dozey:
But now 1 - 1 :D
stoopid costa :dozey:
scores though :D
Goooooaaaaaaaalllll :D
I am torn with this match. Being English I should be backing the English club, but I really Really, Really want to see that slimy little twat of a coach of theirs finish the season with nothing to show for his efforts.
If Chelskibobski (russian for Chelsea) don't win who will be in charge there next season? David Moyes is available :)
bejaysus :eek:
Gooooooaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllll :D
Teehee Mou's bus fell asleep again :D
the fans are loud... all 3000 of them :D
"Jose Mourinho hijo de puta" :p
What garbage will issue from the "Arrogant One's" pie hole after this match?
The media over here have been saying he's the best manager and his tactics will be too good for Atletico.
How up his arse are they. Jeez.
Anyway being so Defensive at home, they deserve to be screwed. I guess the Mourinho loving media will find some excuse not to say how s*** there approach has been.
I'm sure TSO will come up with plenty of stupid excuses again :laugh:
por qué ? :andrea:

Mou says the better team for most of the game lost. :dozey:
Pretty much a mirror image of last Saturday's match thenQuote:

I too would have preferred a bucharestian affair :andrea: :bandit:
British media, tabloids, tv pundits, tv presenters, ex players are in absolute love with the One.
and then with Man Utd...rooney ! greatest thing since ...well george best naturally...do they play football elsewhere?
anyways I was watching last night with dread (after the real game) and what a game it turned out to be. I should have known better. Cholo will do the double this season.
yeah, if games were 40' only :sQuote:

I mean dont get me wrong he appears a good manager of men, but 6 losses of 8 in semi Finals of CL, only 1 la liga title in Spain and no CL final even. Despite Barcelona being great thats not great.
Never won CL with Chelsea first time round.
Its not epic really is it, and his attitude to officials and opposition is poor. Its just all a bit boring these days.
The tabloids love Mou because he always says things that make great headlines.
I don't know where you are reading about Rooney though? Last season he got endless criticism in the press for his form.
Juventus - Benfica is tonight's matchup
Where is Pino?
hiding behind the sofa?
What was all the cafuffle on the bench about?
All iberian finals :bandit: :andrea:
so now the media will be saying how la liga is great..last year it was all how Bundesliga is now dominating and how la liga has dropped down (because 2 teams lost in semis)..before that it was all premier league :rolleyes:
jon, not in the papers but here on tv, Rooney is god.
Of all the possible final matchups from the semi's, this was the one I least liked. I've come to the conclusion that I don't like CL finalists from the same league. How does a Madrid rivalry compare to others?
Not the performance I expected to see from Juve,
But this is just the forgotten cup :p:
