CL Semifinal draw

i swear some madrid fans really want the team to fail for some reason.

the team learned its lesson against wolfsburg, they gonna be serious and if the player are FIT then onto the finals, which madrid will win.

How did you get from the post I wrote that I wanted Real Madrid to fail? Like seriously, can you even read?

I actually had few euros extra so i bet 100 on Real getting City, 2.90 was offered for all teams. Pretty obvious i don't know whether it's pure luck (most probably) or not, i knew Madrid would get City anyway somehow. Not to underestimate them at all, but i feel City are weakest link of the semi-finalists. (Ofc on paper) but other teams may underestimate them and it backfires at them. Cheering for Atletico all the way through, they have deserved it.

It's not about Madrid underestimating City. City clearly have the better team player for player and have a better manager who is also seeking vengeance against his old club.

Hart > Navas
Zabeleta > Carvajal
Ottamendi > Ramos
Kompany > Pepe
Sagna < Marcelo
Fernandinho > Casemiro
Toure = Kroos
Silva = Modric
De Bruyne > Bale
Aguero > Benzema
Sterling < Ronaldo

I really don't see how City don't win this comfortably by at least 2 goals.

One month sig bet, mate.

This isn't even rooted in my deep hatred of all things Pep, I just think Atleti are too defensively solid to be impressed by the way Bayern probe for goals, and ever since Pep has destroyed Bayerns balance, they're very vulnerable to counters.
It's just a very good counter to Bayerns style, these days.

Only way I see me losing the bet is if Boateng gets fit again and Pep takes it as a sign to risk more going forward, but I don't think he will. His own decision to prioritize possession over amount of chances created will undo Peps Bayern IMHO.

So you want me to serve you up with a sig, or will you point to the technicality that you never accepted the bet?

I did, check the betting thread.

Ah. I only want you to get a 3 week sig though, because Bayern played so good, that my greater point of Pep screwing it up isn't technically 100% accurate.

We agreed on one month. If Atletico went through, you'd win. If Bayern went through, I'd win.

Atletico won. Give me the best you've got.
