Champions league Semi Finals 2020-21 - April 27-28 and May 4-5

The difference between the teams with regards to the levels of fitness today is huge.
 
I wonder what other leagues will think of an all-English CL + EL final. It would be the second time in 3 years as the last one was in 2019.
 
All 4 teams in these SFs play significantly better football than us imo. We could of course beat them on our day, but the control in the midfields is something to be pretty envious imo.
People will continue to disagree but unless you have players in midfield who can control football matches and a team that can dictate possession seemlessly you aren't going to become a truly great team these days. Every time I say this people get riled up but it's true that we need to learn it and fast. Blood, thunder and old school footy only gets you so far in the modern game.
 
"Havertz being left footed, I would have thought he would prefer to go with his left foot"

Cheers Glenn.
 
Havertz walking through madrid's defense there :lol:
 
Don’t go out on a whimper Madrid, at least get the ball in the box a few times..
 
And not easily put your money on them to beat Madrid? They're miles better than them. Knocked them out of the CL a season or so ago too I think?

Yeah Varane having a couple of brainfart moments in the second leg killed off the tie. I don't know why some people are certain City will beat Chelsea. It's like they've soon forgotten they had comfortably knocked them out of the FA cup a couple of week back. They play a FA cup final before it which they might win and they can easily carry on that momentum.

And with 2 different teams involved. More depth in the league I guess
 
Incredible to think Madrid are only a goal away from keeping this alive. They've been truly horrible.

I think everyone is aware we need reinforcements in midfield.
 
They'd have been better off bring Ramos on now, and sticking him up front.
 
Madrid dont have the legs. Their attackers cant even run. Cant believe I have to choose between city and chelsea. Makes me sick that a worthless team like chelsea can win.

Martial has blood on his hands. It could have been us.
 
Surprised Liverpool lost to Real.
We are terrible, but we still have 4 or 5 great chances to put them away. They’re really not great, we just let modric and kroos knock balls over the head of Phillips and Kabak/Fabinho. It was horrible from us.

Chelsea are a team on the rise. Not at City's level but they have a really good mood and footballing cohesion about them right now due to Tuchel. They definitely seem the most likely challengers to beat City in the final although would still be underdogs of course.
