Topic: Champions League Final Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid May 24, Lisbon

[Lenin.]

Yellow and Red cards should be banned so all the great players can play all the time.

Its just not fair.

Yes, I still cry salty tears every night for the great Steve Foster.

[MagicB8all]

I do find Bayern's death by possession football really tedious sometimes,glad Madrid are twatting them.

You have to do something when in possession for possession to mean something. Either you've scored and your playing out the game or  owing to your possession you will score. Recently Bayern have lacked an end product.

[edge]

Come on Bayern, its only 3-0 at half time. Think of Istanbul.

To be fair, we didn't have to score 5..

[jamie_c]

Delighted to see tiki taka football get taken apart like this.  You can make a very strong argument that this Bayern team has really gone backwards under pep.

As for Alonso, One of the most stupid things i've seen in a long long time, 4-0 up and he does that, sometimes you really wonder what is going through footballers heads.

[LFC when it suits]

What about that half has made you hate football?

Ruthless Madrid playing Bayern to perfection.

Madrid are a horrible, horrible club.

They have to score 5

[Big Red Richie]

Pep Guardiola looks like a Bond villain.

[Dree]

Bayern under Guardiola look like us on Sunday, we are built for speedy counter attacking football but when the wingers have to go through bodies it breaks down. Ribery and Robben just seem lost.

[Lenin.]

Obviously wasn't pushing that hard to leave then.

Didnt want to lose his cut of the transfer fee, more likely.

[Skeeve]

How many other CL semifinals have been as one-sided as this?

Both of the ones last year.

Easier on the eye and more effective last season. Not in question really.

Their 'transformation' was both needless and forced. Players shoehorned into a style that doesn't maximise their strengths.

[Cruiser]

They have to score 5

I know.

He pulled out of the tackle too late, it was sad to watch really! I think Gerrard is missing a beard for his DM role.

Bayern v Barca last year?

Agree with every letter of this

[Redman0151]

Torres did nothing wrong. Educate yourself before posting sheer stupidity.

Lying to the fans 2 weeks before leaving, and pushing his way out 2 days before window shuts.


Unless you believe Torres ahead of Dalglish?

[Rojo O Muerto]

Madrid are a horrible, horrible club.

Oh here we go...

[kennedy81]

Still think its a proper shit rule that you can miss the final because of a yellow. They should wipe them before the semis.

yeah, agreed.

[Elzar]

How many other CL semifinals have been as one-sided as this?

Dortmund vs Madrid last year?

[Gerry83]

Ramon Calderon, Real Madrid president between 2006 and 2009, speaking to BBC Radio 5 live about the possibility of the club signing Liverpool striker Luis Suarez: "I think we already have Karim Benzema, who is very good in the same position.

"We have really good forward players in Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo.

"I don't know if Liverpool will let him leave. Let's see what happens in the next few months."

fck off- hes ours for keeps u cnt..

[SlowRap]

Modric is a player Allen needs to watch and see what he does with the ball.

Funny you should say that, that's exactly what Allen thinks http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/175336.html

Pep Guardiola looks like a Bond villain.

More like a loser hipster.

[Astan]

Bayern has been horrible for the past few weeks. Especially Ribery has completely lost his form. I hate them and i was really worried they'd win the CL this season. I hope Madrid score a few more just for laughs

[Hazell]

I wonder what Mark Bright is thinks about him now?

[elsewhere]

They will watch Istanbul tape at HT and pull out a miracle we did

[b_joseph]

How many other CL semifinals have been as one-sided as this?

United And Arsenal in 2009..the Emirates game was nuts. Ronaldo scored from 40+ yards.

[LFC Boy]

Reckon Pep mentioned Istanbul to them?

[Popcorn]

Since Mourinho left I can't help but find Madrid to be rather likeable..

Obviously Pepe is still a snide rat but the rest of them are hardly horrible.

Di Maria, Modric, Alonso, Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema as the front 6. Can't help but like them.

[Libertine]

Their 'transformation' was both needless and forced. Players shoehorned into a style that doesn't maximise their strengths.

Interesting contrast between how Brendan has adapted his style to suit the players we have and the way Pep has stuck rigidly to his philosophy. Wonder if he'll continue to play like this next season.

[jillcwhomever]

Twatting Mourinho still going on about 2005. Oh poor John sodding Terry being cheated out of playing in a final. My heart bleeds for him not.

[Redman0151]

Reckon Pep mentioned Istanbul to them?

"See this is the greatest comeback of all time, you need to score 2 more than that"

[The Infamous_LFC]

Ribery is the most overrated player in world football.

Not sure if serious

[Clayton Bigsby]

Need a goal.

Take off your striker

Put on a defensive midfielder

[Popcorn]

I wonder what Mark Bright is thinks about him now?

Mark Bright hasn't got the capacity to think.

[Gerry83]

Need a goal.

Take off your striker

Put on a defensive midfielder

Damage limitation now.

[The G in Gerrard]

More like a loser hipster.

Bet he listens to jazz music

[Ruddock]

Bayern are so fragile at the back and sooo vulnerable against a superb counter attacking team with pace. The final will be a lot different. Mourinho (yes they will beat Atletico) and his double decker will not allow them an inch and will win 1-0.

[edge]

Get Varane on, Ancelotti you knob!

[Funky_Gibbons]

Ribery is the most overrated player in world football.

Agree.
