Champions League Games 12/13 April '22

Could have been anyone in the semis to be honest.

Us and Liverpool are lightyears ahead of the rest.

Chelsea are definitely best of the rest though.

Very tough tie tomorrow against Alti, but get through that and glad we are facing Real rather than chelski. Don't want a domestic opposition in a CL SF as its a European competition and I'd much prefer to face real than chelski. Real not quite the team they were a few years ago

That’s why it’s all the more infuriating when folk bang on about it’s prestige etc for me. Twats like Jordan or Sutton etc. past winners show it can be won by a team with an easy draw who got on away goals to the final. I get the need to win it for the owners but being domestic champs means more to me.

For our owners, I'd love to see us win it. Personally, I'd be happy with the PL. Winning it, though, would shut up some of the "you've never won it" mob.

You think Chelsea would be an easier game than Madrid? Madrid look bang average and limit benzema and they have nothing.

Atletico looked bang average against the rags

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Isn’t Marcus Rashford an over rated twat? It’s just come to me.

Is that Andre Rieu or Steve McManaman in the studio.

Atletico looked bang average against the rags

And they didn't manage a single shot or corner against us, what point are you trying to make?

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Is that Andre Rieu or Steve McManaman in the studio

They're both on the fiddle

they'd just say you only won it once with all that money

 

[Blue and true]

This competition is pretty amazing. A shame a few around here don’t get excited about it. Hopefully that changes when we win it

Agreed. The fans who denigrate this competition do so because we're yet to win it, it's just a defence mechanism. When people think of Pep's Barca what are the foremost matches they think of? Yep, the CL final wins. When people think of the irresistible Milan team of the early 2000's, of Kaka, Gattuso et al, what trophy is the first that comes to mind? The Bayern teams throughout the years? This trophy defines elite teams. I want Kev to win the Balon d'Or, I believe on current form he is the best in the world and I want him to recieve that recognition. But he isn't getting that accolade unless we win the CL.

If you can't see that winning this is vital for our progression then you're stuck in the past. It's the only thing left that holds us back.
