2013-14 UEFA Champions League Thread

I want to see how they do against Bayern, does not matter if it's in the Semi or Final. But if it's in the Final, I can see them Beating Bayern.

I bet Guardiola would take Chelsea or Real instead of Atleti. Considering their style of play they could shut down Bayern easily.

 

[Deisler]

Now I want the Russians in a silver platter.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Another spectacular moral victory for an English team against Bayern.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

A)
1) Mou v Pep
2) Derbi Madrileño

This is the best. Obviously it would be best for one of these to be the final, but having both matches in the Semi ensures that we get to see both.

I'd like to see the Madrid Derby in Lisbon. And Atletico deny Real La Decima.

I'm going to place my bets on Xif's Scenario B.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

We beat Barca 7-0, so Atletico isn't exactly a huge bully for pulling off a 2-1 aggregate upset over an even older team than last year.

 

[Seán D]

I'm just putting this out there, but I know very few of these nicknames for things/people and am very confused.

Shifty, your quick direct play won 7-0 last year. Pep has slowed you down. He needs to unleash the beasts. Let them roam.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

We played quick and direct against Barcelona. We didn't do that against anyone else. The reason we played that way is because Barcelona was still capable of dominating the ball. No other team in the world can keep the ball from Bayern, so we're not going to just let a team have it.

 

[Arnau]

Courtois cant play against Semifinalinho's team

 

[Mandieta6]

He can play if Atletico pay an additional fee.

 

[chygry]

That sucks for Atletico. I read that they'd have to pay Chelsea a sum between 7-9m euros, not sure if it is correct though.

 

[Arnau]

Like 10 fucking millions

 

[Mandieta6]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Deisler]

We have to be drawn against Chelsea, how else can we revive that 40 year old final against Atleti?

I also want us to do the grand slam against British teams, 3 down, one to go.

 

[Mus]

We beat Barca 7-0, so Atletico isn't exactly a huge bully for pulling off a 2-1 aggregate upset over an even older team than last year.

It could have been 4 or 5-0 easy though.

Also didn't courtois play in the supercup vs Chelsea?

 

[Arnau]

Semifinalinho surely add some stuff like that on the contract, he knew Paleti is serious stuff.

 

[Mus]

That's a shame if true but I wouldn't put it past him

 

[Xifio]

not being allowed to face your actual contract owners is pretty typical stuff -- it's the same for Lukaku ...

but in the interest of seeing a fairer contest at this advanced stage of the competition, I'd prefer to see Mourinho and Ancelotti face their former clubs in the semis, leading to a Spanish capital affair in the final ...
