Champions League — quarter-finals and semi-finals draw

Didn't know that. What happened?

Van Gaal was the manager at Bayern Munich when Kroos was still early in his senior career. Considering Van Gaal's very rigid views, he must have said to the ignorant people above him that Kroos is not the type of midfielder he wants in his team based on what HE saw.
 
Madrid's composure, maturity and mentality in these ties is absolutely insane.

Far better than any other team on the planet. Even if they are not easy on the eye, they are most likely to get results in these big European games.
 
I thought it was Moyes the turned down Kroos. Maybe I’m wrong.
I thought that too.

Thanks.
 
They'll stay camped in their half and hit us later on the counter again, probably should switch off.
 
I will never forgive Bayern for selling Sadio Mane and thus denying us all the chance to see a Kane Mane Sane front line

That mentality from the BBC, Ramos and Pepe days has transferred to Rudiger, Valverde, Tchouameni, Jude and Vini. Elite recruitment.
 
He had a pretty convincing start until Tuchel decided to bench him most of the time, apparently for not being able to communicate with his partners in defense effectively.

Isn't this where the players find tricks between themselves to communicate despite a language barrier?
 
Think Real are solid because between Jude, Kroos, Tchouameni and Valverde they all occupy the central midfield so have great positional awareness and discipline. Almost impossible to break them down through the middle, it's a fantastic defensive display.
 
So many people said Kroos's legs were gone about 7 years ago, yet still doing it if he's within the right system/trust and without Modric.

Shows that Ancelotti is the king of getting the maximum out of the talent he has.
 
I'm not sure if I want Madrid to lose. This Bayern side seems so weak that I'm not confident they can beat PSG in the final. I would definitely rather Madrid get another Champions League than PSG get their first.

They both look great as long as not paired with the other, can remember it was similar for Xavi and Iniesta in Xavi’s last season at Barca
 
Bayern have Upamecano, Kim and de Ligt with one of de Ligt and Kim out of favour. We should really be in the hunt for one of them to come United.
