They'll win it and all be magical!!! Fair enough they did well and that but it's how much you hear about it! 

Remember when they almost won the league and we said this country would be unbearable to live in? It'll be as bad if they win the Europa & qualify for the CL

I hope that City  and Atletico will reach final. This will be unexpected at all.

I expect Atletico to win tomorrow.
Real are playing rubbish but are City up to it ?

Bit of a something and nothing last night, got bored of it in all honesty.

Good to watch Kroos and Modric just buzzing all over the park and picking passes out for fun, what a joy. Makes you realise just what we lack in our midfield when they are finding passes and fizzing balls into tight areas from nothing.

Atletico up at half time. 45 to go.

Chelsea is my wife but Atletico is that far more attractive woman I keep messaging

What Bayern did of kicking the ball from far is what we don't see much today.

That would open up defense, it is why United was good because they had players like Scholes that could score from far.

Brilliant Mate.

Honestly, whenever I watch Atletico play, I feel "this is what we should have become". 

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

1-0 Over. Repeat for another 90 minutes now.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Great game that was. Atleti just need to get one goal next week, one! And They'll be through.

Augusto fernandez was fantastic...nothing gets past him..he was like a wall...we need a player like that in our midfield...Even shit teams can bypass our midfield easily...That has been a problem this season!

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

Good game, but both teams can do better. 

Bayern and ther players were adamant that they got more chances than they expected, but if they are honest they only got 2 real chances. The Alaba shot was covered by Oblak and that Martinez header was easily held. 

I was surprised Alaba fell for Torres only move. With a bit more luck our good ol' Nando would have decided the tie already. 

Expect a much improved, more incisive BAyern and a more consequent Bayern, hopefully with Godin back, so BAyern will not get as many chances.

What I don't get is that Simeone got Correa, Carasco and Vietto on the bench and still plays Torres? Nando got a bit of maturity to his game and not producing as many turnovers as he did here but the other players would offer a bit of pace and some moment of surprise,

Classic Chelsea-esque defensive display from Atletico. Very similar to our 1-0 win over Guardiola's Barca at the Bridge.

Athletico are what we used to be. Strong midfield who don't cower under pressure, fantastic technical left back (a.Cole), team defending together and attacking together, very compact and not disjointed. 

[Kezza 1,965]

Don't want neither City or Liverpool to win any of the comps. Even if it does give us a foot into Europe or better Englands co-efficient. Chelsea will have to find another way to get in, not relying or cheering on those two teams to take out the respective titles

[cosmicway 1,323]

They leave Chelsea - they win the champions league:
Torres-Luis, De Bruyne.
Concerning Griezman we were logging into this site every hour last year to see the yellow letters.
