UEFA Champions League

[meruizh]

I didnt found any threads with this particular topic. So here it is.

Let's start with the end of this week's scores.

Bayern Munich 6 - 1 Porto (Agg 7-4)
Barcelona 2 - 0 Paris SG (Agg 5-1)
Monaco 0 - 0 Juventus (Agg 0-1)
Real Madrid 1 - 0 Atlético Madrid (Agg 1-0)

Semi-Finals
- Bayern Munich
- Barcelona
- Real Madrid
- Juventus

The Semi-finals draw is next week, with no restriction and any possible match possible.
In my honest opinion, Juventus seems the weakest team, maybe due to the lack of competitiveness of Serie A.
A Barcelona vs Real Madrid final could be amazing. But I'm rooting for Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich to lift the cup.

What do you guys think?

Basically Monaco was robbed. Don't care much because I'm not a Monaco supporter, but they deserved two penalty kicks and a red card for Barzagli. Juventus is gonna get ripped by whoever in the semis anyway.

Paris never looked like the winning side, not for a second. Outclassed all the way. Verratti was the only one who distantly looked like he could have been on the other side's bench.

Here's hoping the semi-finals draw gives us the chance of a Bayern-Barcelona final, 'twould be a shame to see those two against each other earlier.

I imagine that Bayern will win if they play as they can, though admittedly they haven't seemed to do that away from home in the knockout round this season, if them and Barcelona are kept apart in the draw then they'll surely meet in the final. Simply can't see Real defending their title, plus I can't stand Real so there's also that biasing me.

Juventus is too weak compared to the other teams, I think they will suffer!

I bet on: Bayern Munich - Barcelona
Real Madrid - Juventus

Final: Real Madrid - Bayern Munich

Bayern - Barcelona is anybody's game, going for Barcelona on what they demonstrated vs. Paris, could totally be wrong.

Surely Real will beat Juventus.

I'm betting on a clasico for the final.


Sevilla should retain their Europa League title I think. Napoli could trouble them though, anybody's game again. Betting on a Sevilla-Napoli final, Sevilla winning the whole thing.


So yeah, Spanish grand slam.

Bayern vs Barcelona seems the fairest match. It's the return of Pep Guardiola to Barcelona. Bayern injury situation is finally getting a break with the return of Arjen Robben and Javi Martinez.Bayern There's still no timeframe for Franck Ribery's return to action.

Real Madrid will have a tough match against Juventus. It's true the Juventus side seams the weakest by far, but their expertise in defending may come in hand in the semi-finals.

As for Europa League.. Sevilla vs Napoli is my bet on the final.

Barcelona - Munich is a good game. Neuer man of the match so far.
