GWT: Champions League Semi-Finals

[Evilo]

Real with the easiest route to the CL final ever and yet still managed to unimpress in almost every game...

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Rematch of two years ago. Real Madrid is so hard to like. I'm hoping Atletico wins.

Bayern would've killed them, now I hope Atletico does so.

Holy crap Man City were awful.

 

[Evilo]

What an awful CL we've had
Most QF and all SF were awful games except yesterday's.

 

[Cassano]

Very disappointing semis this year.

 

[Savi]

City might be the worst semi finalist in recent memory, and this definitely was one of the worst CL semi finals I've ever seen

Seemed more like watching a friendly than a game with so much on the line

Thank God at least Real managed to score once and we don't have to endure this for another 30 mins

Yep. Big advantage to have the home match second for the sixth consecutive round. Definitely fodder for the UEFA conspiracy theorists.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

City with one of the most uninspiring performances I've ever seen. Real were theirs for the taking.

Pulling for Atleti in the final now

Very disappointing semis this year.

Match yesterday was the highest quality match I've seen all season. The others ranged from unwatchable to meh.

 

[Tony Romo]

I'll take it, Madrid out of form and still makes the CL finals. haters gon hate.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Amazing

 

[Pouchkine]

Manchester City looking like Norwich City in those two games absolutely pathetic, can't remember a CL 1/2 finalist that bad. We should have a great final though. The Europa has been much more interesting this year and many more quality games as well. Bizarre.

City didn't look uninspired - they looked BAD.

They looked non-existent.

 

[Moncherry]

Bayern would've killed them, now I hope Atletico does so.

Holy crap Man City were awful.

Bayern didn't kill Juve, Benfica or Atletico and they wouldn't have killed Real either.

 

[hatterson]

City didn't look uninspired - they looked BAD.

They looked both honestly.

Lazy play, poor decisions, terrible control.

Need a goal in the last 10 minutes and Aguero is spending more time closer to the half line than to the 18 yard box.

 

[Disclose]

yeah only 2 shots on target (both games). what a terrible performance.
as much as i like Real, if they dont bring in the final, Atletico will run them over.
and if they do bring it, they'll still have to outsmart Atleticos coaching. its gonna be hard, but im expecting a good game, being rivals.

 

[Power Man]

Bayern would've killed them,

Nope

 

[Power Man]

If we are 100% healthy we should be Atletico

But we are never 100% healthy

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Amazing

This is a team that is struggling for top 4 in a league where Leicester won and Spurs is likely to come second. Citeh is just a bad team, not surprising at all. They didn't belong in the SF's.

 

[Ceremony]

Can we talk about Sergio Ramos' haircut? An absolutely ridiculous looking human.

 

[Halladay]

A Madrid final, excellent.

 

[Power Man]

Magnesium, dude

 

[Panteras]

I hope Atleti doesn't go down as just another Valencia of the early 2000s

Juve was a good matchup but IIRC Bayern were depleted at the time. Benfica was handled well, but those kinda teams are hard to discern because it's a huge match for them with nothing to lose and not at all similar for the bigger team. Atletico crushed Bayern in the first leg but were crushed in the second leg in return. Don't think I'm being a homer here, I gave and give every bit of credit to Atletico - truly a spectacular team and performance.

I think Real has been worse than Juve and Atletico and in the final, with a healthy lineup - Bayern would've chopped them up like they attempted against Atletico. Their midfield is disorganized and their defense not exactly a wall.

Nope

Real are terrible looking right now.

Real Madrid wouldn't be 'chopped up' in the final under any circumstances and Bayern weren't that impressive in the knockout round themselves. You're being quite delusional.
