Hope we can win vs. Real, definitely got the potential. Our defense must be in top form these two games. Final vs. Barca at Allianz Arena would be a dream come true for all Bayern fans, we could win this with the hype/motivation.
RM finally broke through against APOEL. Chelsea should have won 0-2 but no thanks to a botched 4 on 2. Milan vs Barca tomorrow.
Is Keith Jones the new trainer for AC Milan? Half of their starting lineup is out for tomorrow's game against Barcelona.
Yeah they've had their fair share of injuries but... I believe just Abbate and Thiago are out injured for the match(Out of those that have played regularly this season). Zambrotta, Nesta and Robinho are back from injury. I think Boateng is back as well as Aquilani(but that's not saying much-re.Aquilani) Cassano's injury can't be put on the training/medical staff. But for the most part their roster looks better than it did the past couple of months. They have some depth to help. Main thing is Zlatan is healthy.
It's humiliating but not that humiliating.The EPL isn't the only major league to have a disastrous outing in particular Champions league seasons. To say the EPL is nowhere near the top league is misguided. Claims can obviously and easily be made for La Liga and then if one wanted to look at a league in which one or two clubs aren't guaranteed to win every season, the Bundesliga is up there. There's a reason La Liga, Serie A, EPL and Bundesliga are the top leagues in the world. Don't really get the point regarding Liverpool. Their name is elite but I don't think most regard their play to be on par.
Hi! It's Fallacy time. I guess the French league is worse than the Cypriot League since APOEL Nicosia knocked out top chien Lyon. Just like the italian league was humiliated last year when 5th placed EPL squad Tottenham pistolwhipped both AC and Inter Milans in the span of a few months.
Starters announced for Milan-Barca: Milan: Abbiati - Bonera, Nesta, Mexes, Antonini - Nocerino, Ambrosini, Seedorf - Boateng - Robinho, Ibrahimovic Barcelona: Valdes - Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Puyol - Xavi, Busquets, Keita - Alexis, Messi, Iniesta
GREAT result for Milan. Now it comes down to the 2nd leg and an away goal or two by Milan. Lovely defending by Milan today.
Yeah, but I don't think Robinho was 100%. Pato and Flamenni (sp?) are out as well. Van Bommel was also out, but that was due to yellow card suspension. Good result for AC Milan today.
Meh. Robinho was returning from injury. A number of teams have lost a big 1st teamer like Pato, like Barca w/Villa. Flamini, meh. MVB is a walking yellow card so that's not even worth counting. Figure that's why Milan has added depth in the center (although Aquilani in his current form, and Gattuso, don't really inspire fear. That's where Pirlo would have been worth keeping). You want a team that possibly has a Keith Jones-esque medical trainer on staff? Has to be Arsenal. The Arsenal fan boys could probably tell us tales of woe about their full-back situation.
Not a good game from Barca but really can't complain Milans defense was superb. But, a draw at home is great result for Milan? Lol
Milan will need to play even better defense next week to hope to advance. I see Barca scoring 2 at a minimum at the Nou unless a supreme effort from Milan. They played well today apparently but Barca are way better at home. If Milan give up 2 goals, it's over. Only hope is to hold them to a 1-1 draw. Don't see Milan netting more than 1 to be frank.
Very sluggish performance by Bayern, but Marseille was so ridiculously bad that it was easy. Can't believe they eliminated Inter and beat Dortmund twice. Booked my flight to Madrid now.
^^ Dortmund was pure comedy, could've absolutely destroyed their competition in the last two years if you looked at their CL/EL games. Tons of chances but missed like amateurs and made gif-worthy mistakes on defense, Hummels sometimes looked like the goofy kid in school that nobody wanted to pick for the team when you played soccer.
