Semi finals (City v Real and A Madrid v Bayern)

And surely the professional in him wants to be in the CL next season.

If he looses a game on purpose at a club he is paid by and with millions of supporters he is a poor man and not a true professional.

You are all assuming that the manager can determine the outcome on the pitch? Surely the Bayern players don't give two monkeys about where Pep's going and will be trying their hardest to win it for themselves
 
Tell her you're popping out for the paper

never go on holiday at the business end of the season, I learnt my lesson when we played Wigan in the Cup Final, I was in Portugal with the missus and another couple. Luckily the wife saw sense and I flew home a day early, she even brought my golf clubs back the following day !!!!
 
I think Bayern could be pegged back tonight. Benfica were excellent in Munich and their atmosphere will be very hostile. If they get the first goal they could go through. Bayern have been wobbly under Pep in Europe.

Barca aren't through yet either. Atletico would have bitten your hand off if you'd have offered them 2-1 in Barcelona. A 1-0 win at home is their ideal result. Barca just don't sit back, it's not in their nature. They'll dominate possession and look to grind a resolute Atletico defence down. Atletico will counter and will create chances against Barca's defence with their full backs high up the pitch. It's the perfect scenario for Atleti to win so I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the semi.

Cant see Bayern not scoring.
 
Real Madrid would be the "plum" draw as far as the City big-wigs are concerned. They are beatable and lost to much worse teams this season than City. As long as the 2nd leg is at home we will do a number on them.
