Luck/ a collection of some of the finest football talents ever! Their squad is unreal, although their performance in their league is baffling.
Champions League Semi Finals (24th April - 2nd May)

No way. Cakir is refereeing this game? After reffing the Juve-Real game?
Are there really no other referees on the planet to choose from? I genuinely don’t understand.
Even if he was excellent in that game, why would the same ref get a quarter and semi? Again involving one of the same teams he reffed in the quarters?
Shocking decision.

Your name is on the trophy this season, I'm convinced of itThanks for cheering me up.
No Bale again in the team
Looking forward to our Sanchez lukaku bale front 3 next season.

Madrid are starting Lucas Vasquez as a fullback against Ribery. Both teams won't be at their best tonight
Bale 100% gone in the summer. Hopefully not to us though.
Madrid are going to win again today. 2-1 for them.
Is Casemiro injured?
He is fine,purely coach's decision
Yeah that's a bit of a head wobbler.
Does he ref all Madrids big games in the champions league now?
A Bayern red is a certainty then. Just trying to figure out who it will be. Probably Kimmich.

Can’t believe I just got up at 4am thinking today was the Liverpool match..
Agreed. Also Coman out is the far, far, faaar bigger blow for us.
So sad that we don't have him for the semis. If we somehow reach the final, he would be back. Thus, I would be confident against Roma/Liverpool.
What's it been, 5 or 6 years since the Nani incident? Even after all that time I still can't stand this twat refereeCnut Cnutyir. Love this guy.
Brilliant.
I stood at that exact spot for a league game earlier in the season. Many more there tonight, however!

You made the same comment for the first leg
Where is Casemiro?
On the bench
3/4 CL semi finalists are 3rd in their respective domestic leagues. Strange.
as a fan I can not imagine myself standing up, tight and waiting for a bus more than five minutes, but the scene is greatBrilliant.

Lot more civilized than near Anfield.
Still dreamoing for the Heynckes vs Klopp final in Heynckes' very last game of his career. The odds are not so good though.
Make it happen, Bayern!
Make it happen, Bayern!
For what I've reading perhaps Zidane wants the ball and someone to help Modric,or maybe Casemiro is not in his best moment.
Big match for Kovacic to show up.

Still haven't figured out if I will be watching this. All the times Bayern made the next round against bad Odds, I didn't watch, or at least not until the very end.
Thiago was so shit last game, I don't understand why Jupp benched Martinez for him. Not that it matters.
Interesting, I thought he was a certain starter for Real.
I think he started badly but found his groove in the second half. Also he plays instead of Robben so Müller can play on the wing. Tolisso is the one who got subbed in for Martinez. According to Heynckes that is because he is more dangerous in front of the goal. Which I would agree with, even though I'm not a big fan of him.
I'm all for selling him this summer for good Money. He doesn't really add anything to the squad anymore, I would prefer a more direct offensive Player than him to add a new dimension to the squad.
Don’t think it would be a contest these days. Pep era Barca used to get a lot of calls in their favor, but over the past 4 years or so Madrid have really taken the cake. Feels like almost every big game they get an iffy call in their favor. Far worse than Barca IMO
Martinez should always play! You need a DM to hold the position with everyone else in attack.
Good to see Alaba back though

The lowest quality collection of CL semi-finalists in a good number of years.
Vazquez at RB? Real will struggle down that side with Ribery and Alaba.
5 of the last 6 CL winners didn't win the league title the previous season.
Hopefully this ref causes some drama.
Not sure who I want here. Who do we reckon is more likely to beat pool in the final?
cnuty reffin. Get the money on real
Let's see how well Real's defense cope with Bayern's attsck.
