Said yesterday, that he'll be back for the Euros.

^^He said yesterday that he is out until Euros. He was pretty upset with the Barcelona loss yesterday.

Lol, Chelsea are now the best team in the world

 

[Meus Renaissance]

This is the beautiful game. What a first half. What would make it better is if they attack end to end, but lets not get greedy

 

[Kyoufu]

Now this is a football game. Very good so far.

 

[Arsenal2022]

God I wish they'd get rid of those Bet-in-Play ads, they're so annoying.

 

[Dibbz]

What a great game. This semi is probably going to be better than the final.

 

[Lunchbox]

both teams channeling their inner barcelona now

red cards for pepe and robben

 

[Error]

True, but some people have lower standards

Yeah I know, the Barca hate here is strong. Not surprised.

 

[Madridy]

Ronaldo freekick hit Gustavo's hand in the first leg, it wasn't called.

 

[K1LLER7]

This game is so open, big contrast from yesterday's game.

 

[Broder Salsa]

God I wish they'd get rid of those Bet-in-Play ads, they're so annoying.

The one with the giant face talking to the two fans? Yes, ffs, so annoying.

 

[Noirulus]

Casillas basically keeping us in the game.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

This is the beautiful game. What a first half. What would make it better is if they attack end to end, but lets not get greedy

The contrast to yesterday is huge, wonderful so far.

 

[Pachimari]

I'm a nerve wreck!

 

[BigBoss]

Wow the first half just flied by.

Nice handball there by Pepe, I'm shocked that the ref didn't see it.

 

[rififi]

Casillas has yet to make a mistake, even on the penalty he guessed right.
I am so nervous right now, but at least Marcelo is playing fairly well.

 

[Sealda]

Regarding the Messi, Maradona and Pele comparison. I mean, 90 % of all people doing the comparison, never even saw Pele play. Also, basically all matches at that time was not broadcasted, beside world cups etc. Same with Maradona, who here actually watched Maradona more than at most in the world cup. At Maradonas time, club football was broadcasted, but usually only domestic...

 

[Regulus Tera]

Yeah I know, the Barca hate here is strong. Not surprised.

It's not Barça hate. It's hate at some people's perception that Barcelona has some sort of God-given right to play the one true football while decrying defencive approaches as negative and cynical. It doesn't work that way.

 

[panty]

Bayern will score at least once more, I'm sure of it.

 

[Oozer3993]

Wonderful save there. Wow.

I know. Pepe did a great job just to get a hand on it.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Great half, very entertaining.

Defending has been so bad though, especially from Madrid, like omg so bad. They just seem half asleep.

 

[pulga]

Fuck me GAF, my hearts about to give out.

 

[The Incarnation]

Calling it now, Chelsea are going to win this thing.

Both defenses are shite.

 

[The Friendly Monster]

The contrast to yesterday is huge, wonderful so far.

Because one team could defend yesterday?

Not saying this isn't great too but last night was so so entertaining.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Yeah I know, the Barca hate here is strong. Not surprised.

 

[Empty]

such a good game. has potential to go up there with the united - real 4-3 in my favourite cl games if the second half stays the same.

 

[Wilbur]

Yeah I know, the Barca hate here is strong. Not surprised.

I think it's just because Meus has been crying all night about Chelsea's performance yesterday. I don't know why you can't just say 'well done Chelsea, you successfully kept us out and won'

 

[Madridy]

Nice handball there by Pepe, I'm shocked that the ref didn't see it.

Gustavo or boateng had exactly the same hand ball from Ronaldo's freekick in the first leg. It wasn't called either.

 

[Arnie]

I feel so spoilt watching this game after last night. Footballs fucking awesome. Hope bayern grab another goal for the good of the game.

 

[Wilbur]

Nice handball there by Pepe, I'm shocked that the ref didn't see it.

Wasn't a handball though. Neither was the Alaba one, so I guess the ref should be consistent, but it wasn't a deliberate handball.

 

[bud]

bayern should be capable of scoring one more goal.


baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrnn

All I know is those balls in Pele day were rock solid. They weren't so easy to move around, Messi would break his foot on one.

 

[Socreges]

San Iker is awesome.

Hand ball on Pepe missed!!

 

[Awesome Animals]

[DangerousMali]

Calling it now, Chelsea are going to win this thing.

Both defenses are shite.

Drogba got this

 

[Broder Salsa]

Calling it now, Chelsea are going to win this thing.

Both defenses are shite.

I said that since the group stage!

But then again, I also said that Palermo would win Serie A and Bendtner would be the top scorer of premier league.

 

[Lightning]

This is a great game. Made better that neither side are defending with 9 players...

 

[RaGe_pt]

Bayern has everything to go through. They look like they are better physically now than Madrid. Let's see if the second half is at the same quality level as the first one.

 

[Wilbur]

Drogba got this

Malouda's face hahahaha

This is a great game. Made better that neither side are defending with 9 players...

Is it just Barca and Arsenal fans saying this?

 

[bud]

i can't believe madrid are playing so terrible, btw--they're playing in their own stadium and they're doing nothing but trying to counter-attack. bayern are playing really well, but their defence looks shaky.

 

[rififi]

Bayern will score at least once more, I'm sure of it.

I agree. Madrid needs to score at least 2 more goals before I can feel even the slightest bit relaxed.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Because one team could defend yesterday?

Not saying this isn't great too but last night was so so entertaining.

The drama was good but I was honestly frustrated for most of it.

Maybe my bias against Chelsea ruined my judgement.

 

[Vivalaraza]

I think it's just because Meus has been crying all night about Chelsea's performance yesterday. I don't know why you can't just say 'well done Chelsea, you successfully kept us out and won'

BTW do you know how good Arsenals game vs Barca was? Let me find a video of it for you.

I feel so spoilt watching this game after last night. Footballs fucking awesome. Hope bayern grab another goal for the good of the game.

Think it's better for the game if Madrid score next. Bayern score and Madrid need 2. Bayern will sit back if that happens.

 

[Zabojnik]

Awesome game. Terrible from a tactical standpoint, but who gives a shit.

 

[IceCold]

Come on Madrid. Just score one more goal.

 

[Kyoufu]

Calling it now, Chelsea are going to win this thing.

Both defenses are shite.

Yep, Chelsea won this already. Dat Di Matteo luck.

 

[Arjen]

Such an awesome game.

 

[fuenf]

Bayern has everything to go through. They look like they are better physically now than Madrid. Let's see if the second half is at the same quality level as the first one.

but they look ultra nervous they have to get their nerves under control

 

[Blablurn]

i'm dying here. as Spanish Wrath said, those are some hot semi finals.

 

[Wilbur]

BTW do you know how good Arsenals game vs Barca was? Let me find a video of it for you.

Which one, the one where they played open football and got molested? I liked that one.

It's not Barça hate. It's hate at some people's perception that Barcelona has some sort of God-given right to play the one true football while decrying defencive approaches as negative and cynical. It doesn't work that way.

when did I say Barcelona's style is the only way to play the game? I want a football match with both teams attacking going all out, which is what I'm getting here in this Bayern/Madrid. yesterday match was awful and only the most cynical and chelsea fans enjoyed it.

this match is what CL is all about, great teams going on the attack. Yesterday was shitty, regardless if Barcelona got eliminated. You can't say with a straight face that match was entertaining.
