It's incredible to look back and think about how many people completely wrote off Chelsea in their semi's or how confident everyone was that Madrid would take the second leg at the Bernabeu.

Football really is an amazing sport. I'm very happy to have witnessed great matches yesterday and today. Congrats and good luck to Chelsea and Bayern fans!

I think i'm going to order Pizza with my buddy and marathon Game of Thrones tonight (in preparation for the second season for which I made a pact with my friend that we won't start it up til CL semis end).

I feel devastated for Mourinho and Iker. Hope we come back even better next year.

I've been saying all along that I think Khedira doesn't deserve a spot on our squad. Yes, he plays good defense, but his passing is very average for a midfielder.

Wouldn't mind getting Kaka at United, Don't see anyone paying more than ~13m, for a 30 year old in poor form. Madrid should sell Sahin too, so he actually gets a game :p

Like I said yesterday, I really hope Pep signs and Mou stays. They deserve the chance to sort out their squad for next season. Should be fun.
BTW, we need to make FootieGAF prepares their very own possible transfers for the summer transfer window. :D

Just read that Hazard has scored 104 goals in 148 games. Not bad.

Those Hazard stats aren't right.

How can people feel bad for Mou? Have you guys even seen how he acts when he wins.. :S

Probably cause I am a Barca supporter but no way does Mou deserve any sympathy. Better luck next year Madrid. Penalties are a shit way to be eliminated but oh well.

It is like feeling sorry for Alves or Pepe missing a crucial penalty, no way.

Huh? In his last 3 seasons he's only scored 40 and that's in 140+ games.

Players like Lahm and Schweinsteiger deserve to win a CL. I don't feel bad for Mourinho, he has already won the competition.

I'm a Juventus supporter and I was rooting for Madrid today. I wanted him on our bench way before Moratti.

Anyway GG BayernGAF, enjoy your finals because next year you'll be the one at home watching us D:

Game looks like shit? :lol If you don't like the genre then fair enough but the game will be anything but shit with the pedigree behind it.

European football must have been terrible back in 1982, for Villa to win the Champion's League.

Old format & not-so-much money driven I guess.

Hell, even Inter won it!

Haha yeah the genre is probably the problem with me. But I hate Raiden on top of it all.

I wasn't a Raiden fan either during my first run through Metal Gear Solid 2. I guess over time I warmed up to him, especially thanks to his back story and change in to a cyborg in Metal Gear Solid 4. Really like him now and he should be all the more appealing in Rising.

Santos being super wasteful. Don't know why Galindo didn't field Hércules Gómez today, his finishing is way better than Peralta's and the latter simply has been a non-factor.

I think the sucky part for Madrid is that the players put so much emphasis in the CL being what they really hoped for and now the league looks like sloppy seconds

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have played 13 times in the Champions League, the most out of any fixture.

There was a time 15 years when the UCL would've alternated between Real and Bayern for 5 straight seasons.

But Sheringham had to muck it up.

Great respect between the 2 sides.
