City V Bayern Champions League Final

[BigBluey]

Bayern won't even get past Benfica!!

I have a feeling that De Bruyne is destined to play against Wolfsburg.

Job only half done, but one will dream what if. We've put ourselves in a great position.

I think it will be Atletico, Wolfsburg and Bayern, but all the games are very very tight. Barca and Bayern look incredibly strong.

Real madrid look beatable. Benzema got injured and Ronaldo had a marginal goal correctly ruled out offside. Wolsburg get a soft penalty and suddenly Real madrid are under pressure and Wolfsburg can pick them off on the counter.

That game shows that City could beat anyone on the night in a huge pressure cooker game. It would be brilliant if we get through on the Tuesday and then wait for the draw.

If rags & Chelsea can win it then so can we.

Neither of them were better than the top teams in the competition in any year they played in it.

Wolfsburg must surely set out next week to score. One goal means Real need 4. FIngers crossed!

The ref will decide whether Atletico are allowed to compete.

Can't see Bayern going out.

Wolfsburg would do very nicely, should a miracle happen next Tuesday.

No, but the Utd team who won it in the year they won the Treble was a team at the height of their powers.

I believe we can win it. I am beginning to feel that now, but we still have to beat PSG and that is not going to easy. We have just got out of the lions den alive and have a good result, but now PSG will give everything to stay in.

I think they like City, are perhaps not at their best.

All year long we've been moaning about injury but perhaps its going to do us a favour. We could get a fresh Kompany and De Bruyne at the crucial stage of the competition.

I don't believe that any of the teams in the competition are at their best. That's how it's worked when the rags etc have won it. If any team meets Barca or Bayern at their best, they are totally fucked. That's the same when the rags have played them. Bayern Barca below par, rags even Celtic, can give them a game. Bayern Barca on song, they walk all over them.

If we get through & are lucky enough to meet either when not quite at it, we have a shot. If they are on their game, they will rip us to pieces. Sometimes those teams are not quite at it.

I agree. We've had seasons when bayern and Barca have looked invincible and then they get to the semi-finals and the game turns on an incident and all of a sudden they are out.

With the way the 1st legs are balanced 1 or 2 of Bayern, Real madrid and barca could go out.

Did Barca get deleted?

I think if it happens it will be in the semis

For all the strangeness, defensive fuckups & tactical fuckwittery of last nights game, either side is capable of causing an upset imo.

If it's us, Ferdinand & Keane won't know what to do.

I don't know about that. In 2008 Madrid and Bayern weren't particularly special and Barça had a situation where something like eleven of their squad had broken up with their wives that year.
I think that was a better United side that won the double that season than when they won the treble. van der Saar, Vidic and Ferdinand in their prime, Hargreaves and Scholes in midfield and Rooney (when he was good) Tevez and CRonaldo up front.

Chelsea I agree with but they had the experience of quarter finals or better in many years from 1998 onwards.

Liverpool however, weren't even in the top ten teams in Europe when they won it in 2005.
