Champions League Semi-Finals

That anti-racism advert had a severe lack of black people

I keep expecting John Terry to be on it, but for some reason he never is? Can't imagine why

Bayern are basically Guardiola's Barcelona but with Madzukic rather than Messi.

Dante is still wank. He's an even wanker David Luiz.

Boateng is not the greatest, but he is a lot better than some people here are giving him credit for. It's not his fault that the style and formation Barcelona play leaves him exposed. It's easy to defend when you have a settled back four and defensive cover. As Kompany is finding out this season it's not so easy to defend when you are constantly left exposed and attacking players are running at you.

The game is going exactly as expected and Bayern can be lucky that Bale is sick. Crazy how they are being exposed so badly on their right hand side when they have the best right back of the last 30 years in his prime.

He ran away from his own shadow when we drew away at Leicester in the Cup. I moan about Edin being a meek bastard but Boateng takes the biscuit!

A very long time ago and an eternity in his career. Since then he was won the 2 Bundesliga titles, the cup and a CL. Winning can do wonders for a player. He is good on the ball, decently quick and when given proper protection is very good. He has also started taking responsibility a lot more in recent months.

26% possession, yet Real could be leading 3 or 4 nil. Their counter attacking is scary.

That's because its St. Georges day.

As for the subject on Boateng, I think he would've done better now than he did before... he was playing under the early Mancini days and we played defensive football, he looks more suited to playing in a high line, Pellegrini could've done with him and Kompany together.

The problem for Munich is that for the passing they do they end up sending it out to the wingers and crossing it. This can be done even without the tiki taka. They HAVE to go through the center to make tiki taka work and the problem with that is they don't really have players who can thread those through balls. Pep had Messi, Iniesta at Barca. They need a playmaker like Silva through the center.

Madrid need a two goal cushion if they want to come out of Germany heading into the final.

Crazy game Bayern looks class 75% of the ball but could be 3/4 down.

Crazy game Bayern looks class 75% of the ball but could be 3/4 down. Imagine them next season with Lewandowski?

They could be 3 or 4 down and you are saying they look class? Football is about winning. If you could be 3 or 4 down before half time, then you are not doing the job. Lewandowski despite being one of the best strikers in the world will add little to Bayern if they continue to play the same way.

Hopefully the players take things into their own hands and Muller comes on.

They do already have Gotze and Thiago who can do that tbf and Muller to make those runs, probably will see Gotze and Muller second half if this continues.
