Well, Ronaldo was passed as fit but was he really ? I doubt it.

He is much better player than he showed us last night. No player can play at his best in every game.

Yesterday, he should have scored though.

There's no doubt he's an exceptional player, but he often seems to under perform in big matches while Messi, in comparison, has his best performances in some of the biggest matches he plays.

Declared fit and plays bad, must be injured.

Personally, I do not care much about what Messi does.

Ronaldo, might have the odd game off, as all players do. Last night was one of those when he failed to score. Had he scored then, Dortmund is fishing today.

Also, don´t believe in everything you read in the papers.

Real could not have said Ronaldo is slightly injured.

i'm gonna enjoy seeing Barca get knocked out tonight

Jose sure knows how to create a distraction; Does anyone ever remember that his team were knocked out of yet another CL semifinal?

That is because we are in a Chelsea forum...

Was talking about the media, especially the English.

You are only talking about English media, because if you go to Spanish, Italian and German sports site, they are all giving the headlines to the game and a small portion of the publicity to Jose's interview!

It is only natural that English media (with no English team in the UCL) puts all the spot light on his interview. However, it is not like everybody is talking about it; actually, most of the world is talking about the game and not that he is probably coming to Chelsea...

Even the Spanish media are talking about Jose making hints about leaving and Ronaldo's comments about not caring about Jose which exactly what Jose intended.

[NishC300 1,865]

About that, seems he only wins the CL with alternate clubs since going to Porto...

Porto - WIN

Chelsea - No win

Inter Milan - WIN

Real Madrid - No win

Team X - WIN?

I'll try to answer this math equation

X=Chelsea

I bet even the Saudi Arabian media is talking about it, I just said that it isnt bigger than the game headlines...

I get what you are saying, but I dont think he meant it in that way (we all knew they were going out). I think this was a clear message to Roman, somewhat in the lines of "please, come and get me, I will say yes"!

I think Jose has lots of other ways for sending Roman messages other than publicly. It was too obvious to be a hint, it was clearly, imo, intended to create havoc in the media.

I agree, but sending it publicly he makes whole England put pressure on Roman...

I know Mourinho is very good at deviating the focus and making everyone talk about him and not about the results or performance. However, I personally think that wasnt particularly the case.

Anyways, lets agree to disagree!

[OneMoSalah 8,797]

SIX Bayern players are 1 YC away from potentially missing the final if they pick up one tonight against Barcelona - Dante, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Martinez, Gustavo and Gomez.

At least 4 of them will be booked/sent off because when things aren't going Barca's way, they do cheat, just a little bit..... a massive bit.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Messi on the bench..

[Yeboii 1,844]

Bartra again!?

[edetarod 2,155]

with Messi on the bench the only question remaining is if they'll turn on the sprinklers at the end of the match

[Hutcho 8,443]

No messi, so this game is set up to be boring as hell.
