Julius Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 The way that ended leaves such a bad taste in my mouth. Juve have shown that Real clearly aren’t the force that they’ve been in previous years right now. That could change in the coming weeks, but right now I’d fancy any of the remaining teams’ chances against them. What draws do you want to see in the semi-finals? I’d love to see Bayern v. Roma and Liverpool v. Real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 I really wanted Juve to do it...but I guess Roma will just have to do. Would be amazing if they did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Can’t help but feel sorry for Buffon. Obviously, you can’t go hunting down the ref like that (and Benatia HAD to make a challenge — not exactly sure what Vázquez was trying to actually do; chest it down?), but this was as good a chance as he’s had for him to get his hands on the trophy with the big ears, and to avenge previous losses against Real in Europe. If Real go on to win this, they’ll be the first team to retain the European Cup in three successive seasons since Bayern in the mid-70’s, and would thus be the first team to do so since the competition was rebranded to the Champions League. It really is crazy to think that only five years ago, Real were seeking La Decima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I see Kane has been awarded that goal. What a crybaby. I really hope he doesn't get the award now. Anyone else see Wolves second goal? Absolutely amazing ball control and outstanding strike. Easily one of the best goals I've seen this season. Ho-lee shit that was amazing. The control took it almost behind him too, but he just whammied it in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I just hope Real don't win it again. Obviously I would want us to win it but I wouldn't mind if Roma or Bayern get the victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 It appears there has been some backlash towards Kane on social media over the goal he wanted credit for. As well there should be. Story Honestly, I still can't get over how petty the whole thing is. You can bet that this wouldn't have been a thing if he wasn't trying to win the Golden Boot award. I hope City crunch him hard in the game at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahkon Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Still can't get over this. Sevilla is the most disgustingly dirty team I've ever seen...Robben gets brutally tackled at the end, too. I'm glad we knocked Sevilla out. But I'm even happier that nobody from our team got seriously hurt during that match... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope City crunch him hard in the game at the weekend. He's getting an easy ride because (like I mentioned before) he's England's golden boy. If Ronaldo or any other foreign player were doing this, the media and fans would hang them out to dry. Can't believe he used the school yard "I swear on me family's life braaah, it came off me fam" line. Is he 8 or something? He'll eventually leave Spurs for a big money move elsewhere. If he's being this petty about being top scorer and claiming every goal, what's he seriously going to do when the likes of Real Madrid come calling and offer him a serious chance to win the Champions League or La Liga?

You don't need to host sensational comebacks to win this competition and they've got the players who could do some damage to Real. Of the four teams left, I'd like Roma to win it.

Problem is: We've already won the league title last week but it has basically been a done deal for several months now so we've kinda been playing below our usual standards. It happened last year, too, and we couldn't reach that standard in time for the big matches...we'll get slaughtered by Real if this trend doesn't stop.
