CL Semis

[Rosco]

Real v. Atletico tonight.

Bale is out for Real, but i still can't see that holding them back.

 

[the count]

Real really going for it and fully deserve their lead.
However if Atletico can hang on I reckon they will get more chances like the one that Gamerio totally fucked up

 

[Rosco]

My attempted jinxing of Real isn't working out

 

[the count]

Gameiro fucks up a two versus one

 

[Hansern]

How I'd love to have Modric in our team. What a player.

 

[rurikbird]

I have to say this Real team is really, really good. Well-coached too – fair play to Zidane who so far manages to calmly deal with a borderline psychopathic club president, impatient fan base, not to mention 11 prima-donnas on the pitch. He even manages to blood in youngsters while still delivering results. Perfect midfield balance with Casemiro, Kroos and Modric. They might actually be the first team in the CL history to retain the trophy.

Just as I was typing Ronaldo makes it 2:0. Well-worked goal.

2-0
The Greasy One

That fecker Ron.

 

[Athens]

That's the first time in years I've felt sorry for The Torres.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Ronaldo has done really well to adapt his game.

Up there with the best of all time

That's that then

Casemiro has really given them the perfect balance as you say, combined with the other two.

3-0 Ronaldo. The King of the CL

 

[Athens]

I wonder how much the PEDs that Ronaldo takes cost.

@Rosco any idea?

 

[Rosco]

Ronaldo has done really well to adapt his game.

Up there with the best of all time

Do you mean as he got older or to make the most of his doping regime ?

 

[willby]

Atletico totally outclassed. Just end it already. .

 

[Dreambeliever]

Do you mean as he got older or to make the most of his doping regime ?

As he loses his pace.

What's this about doping?

 

[the count]

Mbappe with a decent chance and effort but Buffon saves well
Juve started well but Monaco coming into the game

 

[the count]

Juve 1-0
Higuain

 

[Markeh]

That was sexy football

 

[redhorizon2]

If Juve win the thing our coefficient as league takes a hit and could lead to only 3 teams qualifying, am I right?

 

[tombrown]

Fuck your coefficients

 

[rurikbird]

Fascinating game. Juve dominant tactically – 3 at the back usually works well against the front 2, while Monaco has a lot of problems on their flanks, particularly on the left against Dani Alves. However individually things tilted in the opposite direction as Higuain started horribly, not being able to sort his feet out time and time again, while Mbappe probably just added another 10M to his transfer fee in those 45 minutes. What a player! And yet Juve's tactics have so far prevailed and it was Higuain of all people who got the decisive goal, only his 3rd ever goal in CL play-offs if I remember right.

No. Because that all changes from 2018/19.

 

[superchimp]

dybala is a top player!

 

[Markeh]

What are they feeding Higuain, he looks like a retired player in a charity match

 

[doctor_mac]

This is over.

 

[Hansern]

0-2 Higuain again

 

[Markeh]

Too much brainless play in midfield from Monaco

 

[rurikbird]

Higuain 2:0, haha! Super pass from Dani Alves once again. The Brazilian has been magnificent; I bet Barca now regrets letting him go.

 

[willby]

Juve/Real then? Had preferred Monaco/Atletico...whatever..
