Not anymore. New rules this year.
Champions League — quarter-finals and semi-finals draw
- Thread starter Red Star One
- Start date
At least that doesn't look like another Kim/Upamecano disasterclass like the first leg. This time Real has to actually do something to score goals, they won't be gifted in the same way.Why couldn’t you feckers fire Tuchel months ago and get a bum interim in? Now I gotta worry about another Tuchel masterclass

Pavlovic over Goretzka is ballsy, Nous over Davies makes sense.
Had you told me in August that I‘d be happy about Dier playing over Kim…
Seems it was as I suspected then.
At that time you would have had a weird look if I'd told you that Dier would even be at Bayern
Can't believe that Eric Dier is about to line up in a Champions League Semi-Final at the Bernabeu for Bayern Munich. This will be one of those "weird facts about football" in the not too distant future.
Glad to see Pavlo back if that is the case
He has been really really good for Bayern. I get the jokes but I will gladly accept his constant 7/10 performances over Kim‘s and Upa‘s random 2/10 game.
I feel by now the tone has shifted from making jokes to pure disbelief for most people
The funny thing is Dier used to be that random 2/10 guy in the PL. Good to see him doing well though
Bayern gets finally some players back and can start with Sane, Gnabry, Kane and Musiala.
They were the better team in Munich and I think they make it to the final. There will be another „Klassiker“ in Wembley.

May be it is just the team and tactics made him look bad.
Strong lineup from Bayern, at least on paper. I heard Pavolvic has been solid in his debut season as well.
I'm starting to get a bit nervous about the game. I hate these hours before.
It might sound a bit reckless in 2024 but I wouldn't mind a Kroos-Modric from the start. If it's not the case I hope it's Camavinga instead of Tchouameni.
I would also like them to start the game with a comeback attitude, try to score, not be passive and if they do score don't sit back.

As a Bayern supporter I would very much like to see both Kroos and Modric start for you guys.
One of my favorites the 17 or so games he's played this season, would love to see him back if he is fit.
He needs to get one of those headers from corners into the net today
BAAAAYEEEERN
Pavlovic is awesome.
He is a young Pirlo/Alonso type of player and had some really good games this season.
But he was injured and so far didnt look like he is back to his best.
Its a surprise for me that he is starting.
Sometimes he is easily overrun in midfield and tends to go for a tactical foul too early.
I have a bad feeling he could be sent off tonight.
According to my superstitious beliefs, normally the club that announces the lineup before wins.
This time it was Bayern, who undoubtedly have a formidable scouting and development department, the ones doing it.
All German final incoming like 2013.

Bayern hasn‘t announced a lineup. It is (credible) journalists reporting it.
Who announces a line up like 2 hours before a games? It’s normally 1 hour… or do you mean the leaks?
Camavinga bench. Nacho starting.
This means Carletto has predicted a 120 minute game and wants to keep some energy-quality pack for the last part of the game.
Expecting Bayern to be all over Kroos this time, think Bayern will score first
Consider this: Bayern went into the season with Goretzka/Kimmich as their default CM. Now Kimmich has been pushed out to RB and Goretzka is benched while Pavlovic is the first name on the sheet in midfield (and apparently is that again after his injury), with Laimer being around as the workhorse. That alone should tell you how solid he has been.
Corridor with all the kids of the academy
What an earths this about?
Whoever came up with that is a friggin genius. This creates such a strong culture and sense of belonging in an organisation.
He is a Barca legend and they hate Barca, I guess that's enough. I'm too lazy to search for it now, but before the first leg there was also a video of Real and Bayern fans together singing chants against Barca. Was quite funny to see.
Gonna shove this on in the background tonight could be good.
Real Madrid do it all the time.
Argh right. Just for it was unusual when every other team leave it an hour
