Football Thread |OT17| Jordan Henderson for Ballon d'Or

We're usually best if the 2nd leg is an away leg, that's true (see e.g. our last matches against Man U or Madrid). Still it's gonna be one hell of a challenge.

wow, now that I thought about it a litte more, beating Barca convincingly could set us up for an epic choke against Dortmund :(
 
Clasico final would be absolutely huge. Like, members of UEFA and the FA sharing a pool filled with cash and naked women for the rest of their lives huge.
 
the final's going to be bayern - borussia, i think.

i just don't see barca in their current form beating bayern in their current form.
 
I'm scared of Mou :(

We showed that we can win against Real but Mou learning from the two group matches and us lacking expierence, I fear that's it for this season. Well, at least we don't have to hear Wurst-Uli's shit talking when they're out, too.
But we can't see him die of a heart attack either if we were to beat them :|

We're not really hard to figure out though, but on a meta level they fit us really well, imho.
And now there's also Sahin to shake things up. He'll be extra motivated vs. Mou, lol

I also think that a mentally well-prepared Bayern is too strong for Barça. Real-Dortmund could go either side.
Football at its finest. We never got so spoilt before.

barca in their current form still has messi. enough to beat anyone.
Leave it Heynckes. I think he will work extra hours at night to find a solution. He will I am sure.

I see Bayern win the tie.
 
Well, it's the draw I wanted to see. Just hope the Spanish teams can stop being useless one man teams and actually play some real football.
 
Not sure whether it's a good or bad thing that the draws have fallen as

Possession v Possession and
Counter v Counter.

Good for the final though I suppose.
 
Remember last year when a Classico final was apparently nailed on?

Think at least one German team will go through. Want a Real-Bayern final.
 
Best Real Madrid's XI made of foreign players.

So pretty much best Madrid of all time minus second best Spanish striker of all time Raul?
 
Both the Spanish clubs have their second tie at their home ground, which can can make a big difference.

Anything but an all lol liga final please. I'll be supporting Bayern and Dortmund.
 
Just back from an Ice Hockey match(some sort of championship being held here).

Hungary kicked NZs ass 7-2. But damn, Hungarian girls are damn good looking.

I agree, but there is always a chance of extra time in the second leg where an away goal would probably seal the deal. So it's not all bad.


Ok, so lets list all the players who will be missing the first leg (suspension or injury):

Bayern: Cuntzukic, (Badstuber, Kroos)
Real: Arbeloa
Dortmund: -
Barca: -

Arbeloa out is glorious.
 
7 - Barcelona have never lost a European Cup knockout tie against German opposition, winning seven previous ties. History.
