bayern score 7 :rofl:
Away from home too...u'd expect it to be difficult away from home. Fark either Italian league is really chit now or Bayern is making the German league look too easy. Bit of both I think. Bayern is scary atm, like 5+ goals every game and rarely concede. Stole Gotze, Neuer, Lewandowski. Any talent coming through German league (which is alot right now) is stolen by Bayern. Now they will steal Reus. So much talent in the team, probably steal Hummels too at some point.

i love seeing gotze play and i do not like this strategy to buy best of every opponent n german league and now they are gong after rues they can still lose though any team with great defense and good counters can beat them .. they will easily beat possession teams like barca but might struggle against madrid..i am not sure iwll defend on how clasico goes i think chelsea also have a chance to me they look solid

also i think this is one of those games like world cup semi final...everything just clicked . they dd struggle in last match a lot (champions league ) and won hard fought game against worse side so its not going to be walk in park for anyone but today there were 2 teams who like to have ball and control game and one of them had to defend..it played big part imo.. barca looked equally good but psg stopped them so anything can happen

Basically what happened last year. They lost 1-0 goal from counter attack. Then second leg 2 headers from Ramos out of nowhere and game was killed off. Counter after counter from Real then and Bayern's possesion football looked ineffective. Real had so much pace from Ronaldo, Bale, Di Maria... But Guardiola is a smart enough coach to make some adjustments this year. Gonna be awesome hoping for semi final 2 legs between Real and Bayern again :popcorn: Also u guys can too. :(( Mourinho is master of counter attack when he needs it. None better. :finger:

I watched a couple of their German league games and it seems they found their momentum after the 4-0... now everything is clicking 4 games in a row. It was only a matter of time. Still they got Schweinstiger recovering from World Cup. So much depth, so much quality. Awesome team. Best Bayern ever.

this year it will be awesome to see counters too with costa they have ton of pace and muscle and fabregas has already showed he can find him from 30-40 yards away with long pass (against arsenal ) and in very next game we scored goal tiki taka style with many passes:cantstop:

Best Bayern ever.[/quote'] maybe clicking too early ? these things never last for 3-4 months ..still think on paper madrid is as good and if they start clicking 5-6 goals are nothing

I saw highlights but I lost it at Arsne Wenger :rofl: Mourinho called him "specialist in failure", and before that he congratulated him on 1000th game by saying "I would like to congratulate Arsenal for staying with him in the bad times...especially when the bad times have been alot". Thrashed him 6-0 on his 1000th game has a 7-0 record against him AND then the push...:hysterical: Thing is Arsne is stubborn as fark. Unless u r Barcelona u can't dominate every team. There are times u have to be negative but no...facing Bayern throwing men forward trying to dominate :cantstop: facing Barca same Facing Chelsea still throwing men forward Even Fergusson parked the bus to get results in his last 5 years. Others adapt Wenger is stubborn. And I know Chelsea is way ahead now but even when Arsenal was stronger in past his style was perfect for a counter attack specialist like Mourinho hence the record. Wenger is finished. Can't adapt, can't survive. Simple. Was good. Isn't good now. He just wants to play the "beautiful game" for "good of the game" but that doesn't work when u face a team with alot more quality.

yeah i know and injuries make it worse and he still keeps paying players out of positions .. since slickr and you forced me to watch barca matches (at their prime ) i saw chelsea vs barca (2-2 ) sanchez was so damn good in that game but at arsenal he looks like player still in development ..same with ozil ..i have no idea what is happening any more :rofl:

dude any idea why man city are so bad at this tournament ? i feel they do not know their limitations and how to beat big teams like chelsea does ...call it bus parking but it bloody works against big teams..
Yeah you have to make adjustments can't play like u play every other team. Simeone's first goal is to make it difficult for opposition. Like crowding out Tevez vs Juve. Game was so dead. His first goal is to make it difficult for opposition and then to find ways to score. Pushed men forward for 20 mins got goal then back to killing game. City are trying to play same way they did vs every other team in PL and I reckon unless you are on level of Barca, Bayern which City are not u have to accept u may be on backfoot and need to sit back and counter. City imo don't have a Plan B, Chelsea, Real can change way they play. City comfortably beaten by Barca last year. Dominated by Bayern this year. Pellegrini isn't in the same class as other UCL winning tacticians. Coach like Mourinho would have made adjustments when he wasn't the favorite. City to me are no better than they were last year on paper. I just get feeling if they don't accept they will be dominated and do something about it nothing will change vs Barca or Bayern this year as well...that's what I think but lets see.

i agree...i do think they have lot of quality and on their day can dominate others but you do not do that consistently enough to win tournament..they might win 3-4 times out of 10 but that is not enough... also they seem to choke and give away leads which is surprising ... about athletico madrid ...they are bit like chelsea (only more defensive compared to this season ) stil do not know why they sell all their strikers and this year they kind of are paying for it with most goals coming from free kicks or corners
