CL Semi-Finals 13/14 - April 22,23,29,30

I called it, this isnt anything like the Bayern team of last year. Walking an average league is one thing, repeating what the previous manager did is quite another. They havent looked convincing against top opposition all season.
 
I can't even imagine how revered Ancelotti would be if he manages to get La Decima for Real. I imagine it'd be basically god-status in Madrid.
 
Bale, Ronaldo, Robben and Ribery on the same field is a great advert for the game. So much pace, power and skill.
 
Shows how poor the Bundesliga is, doesn't it? The fact they've won the league 3-4 weeks ago is baffling.

Must be the biggest joke of a league in terms of competitiveness, but they have nowhere near the criticism La Liga had a couple of years ago. They don't even have two horses, they have one and a half. The rest pale in comparison to their Spanish counterparts.

Not that Bayern aren't incredibly strong, they are. But football is a rock-paper-scissor thing, there are no unbeatable teams. Occasionally someone gets close to it but it doesn't last long.
 
Bayern are in real trouble, Madrid are gonna put another couple past them on the counter at this rate.
 
When they replace Benzema with a world class striker like Suarez or Aguero this team will be unstoppable.
 
Martinez warming up...

...should've started.
 
I can't even begin to put into words how much I hate the Kroos-Schweinsteiger-midfield. It has offered nothing for weeks, but Pep still doesn't want to change it.
 
It was always going to be a Real v Chelsea final wasn't it? That's the one with the story behind it.

Mourinho vs his old club and Ancellotti vs his.

Mourinho would kill to win that too.
 
Modric head and shoulders above the rest in the centre. Incredibly clever in possession, and his set pieces ain't bad either.

I wonder how useful Coentrao would have been if the deal hadn't fallen through. He's had Robben in his back pocket so far.

Hoping that Atletico twat Chelsea tomorrow, they have a huge chance against RM, done that in league already.

If it's Chelski vs RM final then I'm fecked, nobody to root for.
