Champions League- Tough Draws For Some Epl Clubs, Good Break For One

[Nicholas Constantino]

Juve to win it all. Heard it here first. Barca is going to knock out Bayern. 4-2 aggregate. Juve is going to knock out Madrid. 2-1 aggregate, possibly AET. Juve will beat Barca in the final 2-0.

So you're even predicting the draw!

Yup, 2 predictions in one

Juve to win it all. .

I'll take that bet. There is no way they make it through the semis.

Bayern, Real, and Barca all have stacked squads compared to Juve, who play in a weakened league and barely scraped by against an average Monaco.

Remember, if Monaco didn't have that crazy first leg against Arsenal, they would have played Juve, and I'm pretty sure Arsenal would have been a much better game for them.

I watched the Dortmund/Juve game and both of them were aberrations. We all know how shitty Dortmund was this year.

Plus, Juve didn't beat Athletico in the group stage, and lost to Olympiakos.

I just don't rate them to win. Good team, good experience, but they don't have a pure match winner and I personally think the midfield is made to counter instead of create. The teams left in the tie all have good defense, it won't be Monaco they are up against anymore.

if bayerns injured players start coming back soon then it can be bayern to win it all.

Well, I got the draw right at least

Back to back finals for RM.

Juve played Madrid off the park. I love seeing the Italian teams do well. Still a lot of work left, though.

 

[BxLio91]

Madrid's entire back 4 in addition to Iker were awful.

And Ramos in midfield was a disaster.

Hopefully Juve can play this well during the second leg in Madrid.

Nothing would make me happier as a soccer fan than seeing Real and precious little Rinaldo eliminated from the champions league!

I really don't see anyone stopping Barcelona to be honest.... I was hoping that it would be a Barca vs Bayern final but the draw was unlucky

The Barça v Bayern semi tie will probably be the tie of the tournament. The final will be a formality after that, because I can see either Barça or Bayern beating Madrid or Juve (obviously). I'd be really bored by a Barça v Madrid final… enough with the Clasicos, thanks.

I'm not so sure that the final would be a mere formality. Just because one team, such as Barcelona or Bayern München, look better on paper doesn't guarantee that they will win the final. Who knows maybe their semifinal tie will be so taxing that they are unable to field their top squad and win.

 

[Nicholas Constantino]

Neymar, Messi, and Suarez are just too good. All my predictions still look good, so far.

 

[whill4]

I had to change my shorts after that second goal. Messi is just unreal.

So did Boateng.

Pep threw the game.

Pep was absolutely nuts for running a man to man at first
