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

Oh i agree with that but it just depresses me that we can´t really rentabilize our academy talents. I hope we rip you off with Carvalho :lol:
i think with our new president that is something that is going to be done i dont see any of our top talents leaving for cheap
 
That was just scary. Ancelotti is so damn good in cup competitions. I believe Chelsea will go through tomorrow and they could be a bit annoying in the final, but that's about all they could do. I can't see Real not winning it this year. They have way too much quality and desire which coupled with brilliant leadership should see them through.

It was great to see Pep's damage limitation tactics failing. They disgraced themselves tonight with their behaviour and deserved this mauling. Only their fans deserve credit.
 
the only reason I'd hate to see Madrid winning it as I would think he would fail to recognize us that we were the ones that made him as a player and won the Champions League with :(

Saying that, he deserves another Champions League medal

Whilst I just hate the current Real Madrid regime in general and therefore prefer them to fail, that Ronaldo point is very valid I think. He's already won the Ballon d'Or without us, once he wins the Champions League with his "dream" club then his time with us will only be a footnote in his fantastic, fantastic career.

In fact given our decline since he left, his leaving us might be remembered as what killed us - especially since he was the one to chuck us out of the competition last year.

He's be remembered as a Real Madrid legend/icon, and rightly so.
 
I know you don't like Ronaldo but even you can't mean that right now. Messi has been horrendous for a few months now. Hell, even Di Maria has been better than Messi the last couple of months.

He was horrendous against Atleti. He was quite good against you in the 3-4 ;)
 
Ronaldo has clearly been better than Messi for a while. Messi will always have the greater natural talent but it takes more than that to make one player better than another.
 
Is Casillas happy only getting games in the cup competitions?
Im honestly not sure. He has remained professional and keeps saying he is happy and will stay. Id say he will have talks with the club over the summer to clarify his position and if he is not guaranteed to be a starter then he probably would leave. It would not be a bad way to leave if your last match was winning la decimal though. That's if we win of course and with the two teams we might be against that's a big if imo. The momentum mourinho has right now reminds me of 2010. I have a bad feeling If we play Chelsea. Both are tough teams, but I think atletico would be a bit safer to play

Stop lionizing Mourinho and Chelsea please, ok, they are good defensively, but they can be defeated, especially by a team with strong physical attributes such as Madrid.
 
I cant believe we got to the final of the champions league playing our reserve keeper :smirk:
I know I said enjoy it, but you are taking it too far! :D

Kidding of course, would be a shame to see Casillas leave Madrid though. He is one of those players you just can't imagine wearing a different shirt.
 
Congrats to the RM fans and well done RM! Couldn't have taken Bayern defending the Cl, let alone the treble!
 
Do most of these German players speak English? Like just at the end saw like Basty, Lahm and couple others having casual conversations with Bale, Ronaldo and Xabi thinking what language they talking too in each other in.....gotta be English?

Well Xabi and Ronaldo both speak English, and Bale obviously does.

There was also a video of Bayern Munich's training where they were all speaking English.

I'd say, yes the probably were.
 
Schweinsteiger and Lahm can speak English. Muller can as well. Have heard them give English interviews.
 
If we lose tomorrow, I'm torn with who I want to win the final.

Of course a good underdog story is fantastic and Atletico have a Chelsea player in goal but on the other hand I want Clement and Ancelloti to succeed and it would be fantastic to see a British player like Bale shine for a euro giant in a final.

Pepe though, oh Pepe. He's such a thundercnut I think will be supporting Atletico.

You can imagine what my feelings about Pepe are, but you have to admit that he was an absolute monster tonight!
