It's been a good game but also a poor one
Champions League — quarter-finals and semi-finals draw
- Thread starter Red Star One
- Start date
Musiala and Sané carrying knocks. They are at 100%.
They didn't play since weeks in the Bundesliga.

Carvajal and Velverde are bossing that side, Gnabry wasn't helping Mazroui I guess because he was injured. So I understand throwing Davies in to help since Guerrero is out too
But Davies has been pants. He might end up getting subbed. For a player who has been pushing for more money and a transfer to Madrid
Kanes passing has been poor, 1/6 completed so far
Feel like you need a bit of pace there to be honest, try and get Kane more in the game and able to play it through (which he's failed at twice)
Good first half, what you would expect from a semi-final. I don't think I would change anything.
Now the question is to get good substitutions, at the right time, that they bring something to the game and the physical endurance.

We make too many stupid mistakes 
He is almost being man marked by Tchouamenie.
Hard to watch so far. Pinned back and hanging on for far too much of the game, a few good counters squandered. Losing Gnabry after half an hour. 0-0 at half time already feels like the best part of it
Modric will win this for us
Pavlovic fantastic. So calm. 45/45 correct passes. Musiala, different class. Real on top but Bayern look decent on the counter.
This is the other side of taking away away-goals. Both teams are playing like it’s 0-0 instead of Bayern chasing the goal and opening the game up.
It’s been a poor game so far.

I don't get people praising Musiala tonight? He touched the ball like 3 times in the first half
He'll go on to boss the second half now, but weird

Guerrero is an huge miss. Much better than Davies.
All in all disappointing half from us. Tuchel's setup is too defensive, hardly any threat going forward..
We need the luck of Dortmund go through, if we continue to play like that.
Belligham has been invisible tbh. I wouldn't be surprised if Real becomes much better if Brahim plays
What?
Yeah I think so, but looking through his career now for years where I feel like not winning the league can be held against him and when it’s just a tough situation.
Juve: should have won the league that first year. The pitch at Perugia on the last day was a joke, but the title should have been wrapped up by then. They lost 4 of their last 8: admittedly 2 against Lazio and Milan, but also mid table Hellas Verona and Perugia.
The following year…how much do you want to blame VDS? Sloppy a lot of that season and the montella goal is the famous one
Milan: should have won more than one here I think, but it’s hard to accurately assess anything in Serie A during Calciopoli, and by the end Milan were oooold. Form did fall off a cliff in the league in 02-03 (the year before they were 6th when he came in), it was in their hands to win it that year but then that would have been doing a treble! They win it the next year, no one is the winner in 04-05, points deductions in the next 2 years are decisive and beyond that they’re Too old to really be title challenging
At Chelsea, going 1/2 against Ferguson, even if we were a little weaker in 09-11 than the three years before, is impressive frankly.
PSG, you’d expect them to win the title both years he was there-losing to Montpellier the first season wasn’t great, but it was the first year of the takeover and they improved a lot on the season before (4th to second, 60 to 79 points). Look at City in 08-09 and even the next 2 years, nowhere close to a league title.
first spell at RM, la liga was a dogfight then, and they got 87 points the first season and 92 the second. Unfortunate timing I guess, maybe they should have finished the league stronger in 2013-14
Won the league at Bayern.
Could we ‘expect’ Napoli to win Serie A in 2019? Hard to hold that against him.
Everton are Everton.
he’s won 2 of 3 since returning to Real, which is really helping his overall statistics.
He doesn't turn around with the ball so far. It's control and pass it back. Compare it with Vinicius who tries to take it on
What are Carragher and Richards doing Christ
If Bayern wins, the world will end. Unfortunately. The double curses of Kane and Marco Reus in a final in which there has to be a winner, would cause a karmic event of incredible potency. The resulting dimensional singularity would cause a tear in the very fabric of time and space
Re the commentary, Mcmanamanaman is super annoying to listen to.
Nah, he's involved and trying to make things happen. Like Vini and Rodrygo needs to be more accurate, and they need to get on the same page. He's playing well
Belligham has been invisible tbh. I wouldn't be surprised if Real becomes much better if Brahim plays
Anyone with a scouse accent is annoying to listen to
I know I didn't imagine things
Hopefully. He has been doing well lately and considering his age he is in good form. Of course, a proper pass is needed.
However, this is starting to smell bad...bad like 2012.
I'd have Muller on for Mazouri soon. Davies back to LB and Musiala wide.
Don't you know? Every game he doesn't score he does nothing.
He had a shot blocked, but he's being well marked
this Bayern kit is amazing. Sane in particular looks good in it.
Been alright, actually.
Belligham has been invisible tbh. I wouldn't be surprised if Real becomes much better if Brahim plays
Follow up question, does it feel like Madrid are playing with 10 men right now?
It must be horrible defending vs Vini.
None of that shite on Irish TV. It really is getting quite cringey with this bantery lads lads lads vibe they seem to be going for in the UK. What are they up to now?
Not really.
I bet on Davies to score when he came on because they gave him FB odds. If this sub happens I will hold you responsible.
That has feck all to do with that
He is doing what neymar should've been doing week in week out at a top league, if he wasn't a lazy greedy diving prick
