Never said it hadn't but for me it personally never gets me that excited. When Barcelona were playing it so well to be fair it was nice to watch but unless it's perfect it's a little dull for me.

Whom are we supporting? Who will be easier opponents for Atletico?
Of all the people to miss that 
Tough chance to convert but for Ronaldo it should be a goal every day
Tough chance to convert but for Ronaldo it should be a goal every dayI agree that he's still got it, I just don't think we see it enough given that he's basically just a forward that finishes off every move for fun - except that one!
I'd love to see him a little deeper, or even hugging the touchline, to see what he could do every now and then.
Robben always runs like hes holding in a turd.
Bad miss. Real need another goal here
Man a fully match fit ronaldo has two goals in this match.
The space between Rafinha and Boateng is being exploited
where's Muller? His awkwardness always works in these games
Typical Guardiola football. 80% possession yet should be 2 or 3 nil down already.
Kroos has had 54 touches in 29 minutes. How meaningless 
There's a third place play off now?
What the hell is up with these slow motion replays of nothing?
If he allowed his knees to get more than 3 inches away from each other he'd be faster than Usain Bolt.
The diving cnut.
This is a guy who's won the league title every year he's had in management bar one.
The Latin countries love them. Italian directors were obssessed with them too.
Spanish director. They love that shit.
I was asking myself the same question. Mandzukic is not a solution in this kind of match. At least, not yet.
It's all about portraying football as a drama, I think it's shit

Which is why Guardiola´s system relies on individual quality more than other systems. The cutting edge more often than not comes from brilliant individual actions by the offensive players. This is why their machine stuttered as of late, because especially Ribery fell into a slump.
For all the fuss there is about Guardiola, he may have made them play different but certainly not better, despite adding even more quality in the Summer with Götze and Thiago. Heynckes´ Bayern had way more balance in their game, which made them even more dangerous.
If he let his knees get more than three inches away from each other they'd fall off.
The fragile cnut.
Since March, Benzema has only scored in 3 games.
Against Atletico, Barca and Bayern Munich.

So let's hope that happens, yea?
This is why boring tiki taka shite football should never be implemented for Man United.
I wanted Bayern to win because I want Ancelotti to become available.
Counterattacking football/speed will always be king.

Robben shot with his right foot. Does not compute.
Boateng is slow as feck and Ribery has been poor.
how am I being bitter when I just admitted it's his pass that made the goal. Fyi he is one of my all time favourite players and if I had to choose between him and Messi I would pick Ronaldo everytime.
You realise we got absolutely hammered by "boring tiki taka shite" in two Champion's League finals, right?
Do all those people in this thread proclaiming the death of tiki-taka and the superiority of counter-attacking football realise it's not even half time yet and there's another game as well in this tie?
This was the criticism from Beckbenbauer wasn't it? Everyone said the Kaiser was being over the top but he made a valid point. Its not that the Spanish way doesn't work, Barca and Spain have been far too successful to argue otherwise. Its just that it relies on having outrageously gifted midfield players who pass the ball with such speed and precision it can open even the tightest defences...
...it also helps to have a player as ridiculously consistent as Messi when all else fails too.
Doesn't make it any less boring.
I'd hate to watch it every week. Not that our football has been much good in recent years, mind.
Muller should have started ahead of Mandzukic.
75-25 that's stupid
Typical selfishness from Robben as always.
He started at Old Trafford and he was pretty much invisible.
Kroos needs to move to a club in the process of development and spearhead them to glory.
This pass-it-around-a-lot tactic is wasted on him.
