Except for the bayern united tie, the rest 3 are going to be very competitive.

Chelsea - psg is a 50-50 (51-49 due to jose).

Atm should get more credit than they are getting specially against a team that they have faced thrice this season and have drawn all 3. Alsi that atm are actually liga toppers at the moment. I expect a brilliant 180 minures and won't be at all suprised if atm came thru the tie.

Rm have once again shown that they are big game chokers. 1 point from a possible 12 against the only teans worth mentioning in the la liga. Their defence is a joke and attacks is based on moments if magic rather than actual plays or even link up. I mean bake was tge perfect example of that last night. Non existebt for 89 minutes but those 2 runs that he made, one in each half were just out of the world. So while RM are definite favourites, I would still say that bvb have a decent chance is they can keep the wungers quiet. Specially if bvb are clinical upfront. They will get a buck load of chances agaibst that defence.

Despite my lack of football knowledge (apparently), I did call out RM for exactlt what they were. Choke with the game on the line and they were having a really good spell of form. Their defence once showed that it is their for the taking. Block the wings and they seem paralysed. Plus the depth of class from the first 11 to the subs is immense with isco, illaramendi, morata etc simply not able to fill the boots.

I don't need to comeback sooner or later. It would change nothing.

RM is there for the taking defensively. FACT.

They HAVE struggled so far against all "big " teams and you can include bilbao and sevilla in it (4th and 5th placed).

There attack lacks creativity especially against good teams and mids who won't offer that extra second or that extra yard for RMs obvious talismans to have a moment of magic.

What is actually LOL is that while you went on to say that ancelotti's RM was defensively organized and better than jose's RM, I called it like it was. There has been no jumping of guns here. Had said before that the currenr RM and its tactics were not as good as the 31 match unbeaten streak made it out to be and still do.

Ps- our discussion began with ne saying I would take psg over rm ( or something of that sort), and I would still do. Nothing has changed from what I first said. So again, no gun jumping done here.

They are still really good,they really miss khedira especially against good team.

Their subs imo is decent enough isco, illaramendi and morata are all good players.

It's just impossible to get replacement as good as bale/ronaldo

Never said they were not good. Infact they are still one of the best teams in the world.

The discussion was very different. It was more of how good are they tactically. I just think the 31 match unbeaten run made them seem better than they were. They were always going to struggle against barca. That run somehow made them the favourites. Despite having bale, isco, illaramendi, I don't think they are better than jose's RM which was tactically more astute.

Their subs are decent but when those subs have to replace not just bale/cr but also an injured maria/modric/alonso is when they struggle. Their right backs are pior defensively and marcelo himself is not that greay deapite being one of the best attacking left back.

My problem was that RM was made to sound like this flawless machine that would crush everythin in it's path. Simply dint think so.
