Ivanovic is suspended for the first leg, need cole to step up.

agreed, Real Madrid is the team to beat.
We're more shaped to play Bayern and i would rather face them in the final than face madrid.

I still see Madrid beating Bayern to the final and winning this thing. The only thing which stands in their way is mourinho. I hope he doesnt open his mouth and energize them. He did well against PSG when he said nothing at all. Taking the under dog path.

I don't see Real winning it, they will bottle it just like they bottled the league.

by huntsman Sat Apr 12, 2014 1:45 pm

they will not bottle it, not in the CL no.
Madrid are a complete team, all they're missing is a good manager.
The advantage they have over the last two seasons is internal stability. The internal conflicts have stopped and it is bayern who are in trouble.

Madrid are a complete team, in theory they should have won their league and wrapped it up. They had the chance to do that against Barca. They played well, but two dumbfounded decisions cost them the game; ramos red card, and Alonso penalty.

I think they are capable of beating Bayern and could do it, but i see us or Atletico winning the CL.

Michael Ballack "I wish my Team to reach the Final" Interviewer "Bayern" Ballack "No Chelsea"

Ballack will always remain as one of my favorite blues, without a doubt one of the greatest midfielders of his generation. Proud

I think AM will not play Curtotis no matter what UEFA says. For couple of reasons

1. To start with AM president violated terms of agreement by disclosing penalty clause of 3 million. This is bread and butter for legal sharks and Chelsea can extract more than 3 million for violating terms, if they wish.

2. Both clubs have excellent relationship. They want to keep Curtotis for 1 yr & we need Costa. If AM play Curtotis they will risk the relationship and we may buy Costa anyway Wink

I am just being hopeful. Smile

Honestly, Bayern are the team to beat, but we can do it, we've done it before.

Bayern will beat Real and we should be Atleti.

Very interesting point. I still think they'll go ahead and play him anyway though

Same.

by Katy Perry Sun Apr 13, 2014 3:59 pm

Even if the clause was legit and the club couldn't afford paying it, I'm sure the fans and the players themselves would've payed it, I mean when are they going to have the chance to play a semifinal again? Not that it matters because we will go through regardless of their GK :coffee:
