As Wenger would say, could Bayern win the game ? I dont know, I dont comment on speculation.On a serious note, if both are in great shape, it will be way more closer, and Bayern will notch the victory if they capitalize; because at the Bernabeau last year they didnt.

I believe Pep can control what could happen on the pitch and therefore prepare a plan B in case of injuries or drop in form, but losing Vilanova is a life's tragedy, and emotionally, its impossible to recover in a week or a month, so I think the most important factor in that match wasnt that the players werent good, its the manager who wasnt good, as he declared later.BM fans understood that, as we are all human.

Xavi and Iniesta at their prime ( 2008-2014) were on another level compared to Oscar-Fabregas, Hazard is no Messi and Guardiola isnt Mourinho, he wont change the way our team plays in a night, he'd probably stick to some basis because of the profile of players we have, and add a bit of overall possession against big teams, but again, this is all speculations, so pointless.

I'm not the kind of person to talk about the impossible, and since changing the past and blending teams isnt part of this reality its pointless to go in that direction, I also can tell you that I dont belive Mourinho could have had the sucess Guardiola had with Barcelona, especially in his first year at the club, but it wont add much to the discussion as we cant know.However, I do agree that the knowlege of Mourinho about the Portuguese league made him an exceptionnal manager in Portugal, way before becoming the superstar at Chelsea, and Guardiola would probably find it difficult to manage a Portuguese team like Leiria or Porto, since his football knowledge is more developped when it comes to spanish teams and spanish football, but its a logical guess, nothing more.In this moment the amount of titles Pep has is near perfection, having won 2 out of 5 Champions League campaigns, 4 out of 5 championships, won 3 out of 5 cups, and a hell lot of supercups, Mourinho, excluding his time at Benfica and Leiria, and only counting from Porto, won very much the same amount of titles after 6 years of coaching, however, with a CL less, and with a style of football less entretaining then the one Guardiola proposed, but I guess this last sentence is relative to the viewer, so thats personal opinion of course. As for the controversial part, I dont find any kind of controversy when speaking about legendary managers and comparing titles and paths, even if its disscussed in a forum where Mourinho is the main man and Guardiola systematically reduced to a poessession-maniac overated manager, even if none of us have been coached by him. You and Ibrahimovic think the same way about Pep, not a cunt, a coward is more suitable for the spaniard, meh ! Again same argument, based solely on the fact that Guardiola didnt manage small teams and he is a one way style of football so overrated.Mourinho is a master tactician, and so is Guardiola, dont ever think all those victories in the clasicos were due to luck, and we often forget his amazing work with Barcelona B, that resulted in some talents for the A team, buts thats the hidden part.His first year in Germany is a sucess, and the records he is creating with bayern domestically are remarkable.The black mark will obviously be the defeat against Madrid, that came because of a lack of tactical preparation for Guardiola ( A week after losing Tito Vilanova, an important factor ignored by the majority because its please to say that Pep was "humiliated" )

Guardiola is having a better career than Mourinho, and its difficult to be better than Mourinho.

We'll need to buy Spain first, call Roman.

Who remembers ? Glad we'll finally see him and this team lift the trophy again.

Early conclusions, he will bounce back, we cant know all what's happening in André's mind these days but José does, and if he is patient with him its for a reason, I guess.

Winning at Anfield and the November-crisis will definetly be forgotten, excited as hell !

You cant expect from him to play two times a week and produce the same performances everytime, he still had an assist tonight tough, wrongly disallowed goal.Where was Schurrle, Willian in the first half to help him in midfield ? Even Matic wasnt playing at his level, until the Maribor goal, all the team was bad, I think Cesc was the only one who still produced key passes in the opposition half, with Eden.

How can you find him "poor" tonight ? I found him rather great, doing his job at a position very difficult to play in, against an opposition that made it hard for us, especially mentally, we were sloppy in everything until their goal.

Arjen Robben, he'd surely added a lot in the 08/09 season and the 10/11 season, we needed his explosivity.

Spot on ! I dont think Mourinho shares the same idea and its really annoying, we are better with the ball then off the ball, we are a team that can have the ball 70% of the time against small teams and still create chances, we saw that many times this season, we surely can have the ball and score against bigger oposition, at least at home, but the Manchester games, Mourinho's general system tend to tell me that we'll lose a hell lot of point by going backward when we're upfront and that pisses me off.

That's a strong message and I'm happy JT got it.I fucking love this connection between the fans the captain, makes me very proud to be a blue.Happy days anyway, I think we are living some of the happiest days since Munich in football terms.

Courtois - Cahill - Terry - Ivanovic - Matic - Fabregas - Hazard - Costa

Its harmless for us fans, I agree, but I also believe nostalgia is the emotional power that made Drogba playing here again, and its is slowly paying off for Mourinho, who also played this card to bring him back, but overall, nostalgia isnt the best of solutions to move forward, anyway, its not the topic here.

At least Mourinho beats QPR unlike a certain spaniard...

The nostalgia.

Lets stop it now.

Yes, if fact, his goal against Liverpool is as important as the CL goals

His next goal will be a header then ! Just like Napoli at home !

You should be banned for such comments, how can you talk about a human being like that ? Pep has his personality, some loves him ( Ribery for example ) some not, and about Tito, its stupid to even think he let his friend alone in this war with disease

The conclusion of the United game should only be this one : We are the next PL winners, and we have our winning mentality back with the consistency that made us what we are today.

I saw that, it means I have to fucking wait one more hour and thats not what my mind expected.

The match is in a hour ? That means the TC timer is wrong ?
