How can you watch this performance by Madrid and say we're that far behind them. They've been atrocious so far.
The confidence, speed of moving the ball, off the ball and technicality compared to our statue play. That's why.

The full backs matter a lot. See how much Alaba is getting in behind. Same with Real, Liverpool, City.
Indeed. They add so much more to attack, nevermind just having them for width (Valencia).

Very far away. We are nowhere near these two teams.
It's a joy to watch to be fair. Especially when you don't care who wins once they hammer the scousers :lol:

Give it a rest ffs.
Give it a rest is what you say to someone who is being repetitive in their views. I haven't posted anything similar to that comment Mr. Tom. :wenger:

Bayern are playing like they’re Dutch; it looks nice, but in the end they’ll go out.

I know they are in with the chance of 3 in a row and 4 in 5 years......but it's astonishing how much Real are proving luck plays a massive massive part in this tournament. And how truly lucky they've got.

I'd probably rank Peps "only" 2 time winners over this Real core and well probably Enriques MSN team which only won 1.

Will be fascinating to see Liverpool play one of these. Both are so much better than what LFC are used to facing, ourselves included (and I know we beat them).

That said, if either plays a ridiculous high line like Roma, a coach needs firing.

If Real make the final, hearts in mouths watching Liverpool create chance after chance against them while hoping for them to grind out a win.

You think they're both better than City?

Literally one of the worst defensive performances I have seen from two teams in the same match in my life :lol::lol:
bullshit. If they were THAT bad, there would be MUCH more goals scored already. Or are Bayerns and Reals attacking players bad too?

Why are they complaining about Ulreich taking too long, don’t they know 1-1 means theyre through?

There's no way Bayern are not scoring again in this match

Bayern can't finish to save their life. Definitely not just "luck" anymore. Terrible finishers.

Tiago is world class. Unfazed by the pressure, so cool and calm in creating space and passing.

Would be even more fascinating to watch Roma pull off another impossible comeback to be honest.

Have you got a ready made replacement for him or do you reckon you'll have to go into the market?
We have no replacement, thats why we are still extending. Well Coman kind of. But he will never be anywhere close to Ribery in his prime. Most likely we are not able to sign a great replacement, as there are none in the market and even if we wouldn't be able to sign them. Same goes for Robben.
