  1. don't mind that. this is where you want the club to be
  2. Arsenal the last few years have faced Milan, Barca, Bayern Bayern in the Round of 16. Not a good example that. Benfica and Porto, yes, but they're also depleted every year by sales of their key players. Again, turning this argument into experience is the only important aspect is pointless, that was not what i meant at all. the other factors like quality and luck is important but take Chelsea (2012) for example. Even when we were the worst side in the competition, the team had the know-how to hang on during a tie and win it in decisive moments Atletico have been a machine this season but how many games have they played the last few years with the stakes anywhere close to a Champions League semifinal match? Not many. Even PSG in the quarters had the quality and the luck in the first leg but in the last 2 years they've played just 4 games of real high stakes (Barca QF in 2013 and Chelsea in 2014). In the 2nd leg, PSG capitulated. Stamford Bridge is a tough place to visit in such situations and they couldn't hang on. Experience and mental strength is not exaggerated at all
  3. Salah was wasteful but always looking to get the ball and go on a run. don't mind that
  4. Wasteful in front of goal. how many misses was that?
  5. if we win, keep Demba ba banner on top of the page
  6. more like Chelsea can't break down such sides
  7. Still not over. swansea will defend deep now
  8. Arsenal celebrating semifinal shootout vs Wigan. that was pathetic
  9. Liverpool guilty of overcelebrating but can you blame them? long time since they even came close and this was on Hillsborough weekend. emotions sky high
  10. Injury to Yaya. suspension to Henderson. hahaha
  11. Yaya toure injury hopefully takes a few weeks
  12. Liverpool are playing out of their skins
  13. Chelsea will be confused as fuck next week
  14. LOL. Look at PSG, Napoli two years ago. Do not have experience of playing games with high stakes. Came to Chelsea with 3-1 lead and capitulated. Cinderella stories happen ofcourse. Experience is not a certainty but at the top level in last 10 years you see the same clubs coming to the end of Champions League stages - Barca ManU Chelsea to name three
