I mean, he was a midfielder but if he can learn how to play D i'm sure it'll be better than what they're trotting out there now.

Lol this team sells its players every year, builds a new roster and somehow manages to be competitive thanks to unbelievably good scouting and development. Give them Bayern's bankroll and they'll do like Real and get to the final 4 every season. Literally, of today's starting 11 four players were there last season.

It was a nice run, and last week's victory was awesome.

Remember the "stays competitive" part.

[jstewismybastardson]

iirc that was Brazils 1st half heat map v Germany at the wc

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I mean, they only need 3 goals...

The Champions League semis has basically become Real + Barca + Bayern + [insert flavour of the year club here]. FFP is really helping, Platini. Thanks a bunch!

Or an Italian afterthought like AC. Real backwater teams.

meh ... Serie A is a retirement league now ... BPL is where the BIG minnows play!!!

It's disappointing how poorly Man City has performed in the Champions League these past few years (the BPL as well for that matter). Injuries, bad draws, whatever you want to call it, every other team has to deal with those variables, Man City has just underachieved.

Im not sure what that bankrupt/dopey retirement league serie A thinks its doing with 3 teams still competing in european competition ... concentrate on your domestic league like they do in the BPL ... 0 teams left in european competitions


/I wonder if the BPL could possibly ... maybe ... be overhyped ???

I wonder

That is seriously glorifying the Europa League. My team won the damn thing 4 years ago and I could barely crack a smile. Shit, they played another Portuguese team in the final lol.

I'd be doing the happy dance if Southampton could qualify for Europa league action...

The Madrids sure do seem pretty content to allow this one to go to PKs.

Real is at least pressing a bit and attempting some shots, but they're not putting much of anything on net.

Starting Chicharito as a striker will have that effect.

Put in Jese. Also, Atleti need to do something because Mandzukic has been a colossal waste of space up front. They aren't giving him any service whatsoever.

Red card for Turan. Time for Real to wrap this up.

Looked like an awfully soft call that Ramos sold pretty hard.
