NO RONALDO FOR REAL MADRID. That's our chance.

NO RONALDO FOR REAL MADRID. That's our chance.

Ancelotti said ahead of Saturday's visit of Almeria, per the club'sofficial website:

Cristiano was fine, we didn't want to risk him, because of the intensity of the tie, and we didn't have to. Hopefully he's better soon and he is ready for the semi-final. It's not a big problem because if it were, he wouldn't have been on the bench. He has time to recover and could play on Saturday.

I know Bayern won yesterday but United had chances, Rooney should of scored. Obviously Bayern was the better side, but Man city, Arsenal and now United have caused trouble and exploited their weaknesses. Yesterday a simple goal kick set Valencia through on goal, obviously he messed it up because he's shit. We need to play the same way we did against City, Matic will be a huge miss, but i think Ramires and Luiz can do the job. Also notice how the Bayern center backs get caught so easily on the ball, they keep it for far too long.

Yesterday their midfield was significantly weaker because of injuries but even with everyone fit, i believe we can do it. Jose Mourinho will have our tactics spot on.

"A two week absence would mean Ronaldo missing the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on Wednesday and the first leg of the Champions League semi-final"

[Y123CFC 69]

Literally just came in to post about Ronaldo haha

Would be an advantage for either us, Bayern or Atletico to have the first leg at the Bernabeu then, with him out.

A lot easier to contain him away I think?

I love Jason Cundy. His reactions are always awesome.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Who cares who we get? No-one will want to face us and for me that shows just how far we've come this season already.

That is not true though. If you visit the Madrid forums and go read the German papers, everyone is hoping to draw Chelsea. Everybody is claiming we are the worst team in the semi-finals!

Now, I dont give a flying fuck to what others think and I believe we can honestly go all the way. But I am just stating that it is not true "no-one will want to face us"...

yeah. but it is also mixed with the some people saying I wouldn't want to face chelsea

[Rmpr 8,977]

I know, nothing will ever be 100% unanimous. However, the general consensus among fans from other teams is that Chelsea is the easiest draw...

[BloodIsBlue 291]

Nobody wants to face us. Mourinho knows the intricacies of most the Real Madrid players he has had to compensate for their flaws and manage them, surely that's more of an advantage than the players seeking revenge. One can say that Ancelotti knows this team only a little but because things have changed. Atletico will be playing with a rusty keeper and most likely missing Arda Turan who is fantastic. Bayern play a brand of football to which Mourinho is their kyrptonite, if we get them Pep knows he needs to change his system a little bit. We have a charismatic bunch (bar Torres) that will bleed for a win when we need it.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

I wouldn't be worried if we faced Madrid. In fact it could be the easiest out of the 3 because Jose knows most of the weaknesses of Real Madrid. So bring em on!

[bushman 2,043]

Jose knows it all. Just like most of you here.

[AswinR 96]

defensively weaker full baks (carvajal-Marcelo vs lahm-alaba).

Definitely weaker defensively as a team.

Wingers who don't track back (cr and bale. And the RM bale is different than the spurs bale, the tracking back is minimal)

One dimensional attacks.

Jose's know how of the players' strength and weaknesses

yup spot on there and add ronaldo's injury this might be a good time to draw them...... but bushman has a point..too much badblood btw 'some' RM players and jose...

they might put in a better shift...but then again its pepe n co!!

but got this feeling its gonna be bayern... uefa would love a non-english final and RM vs bayern faceoff at lisbon(pure conspiracy theory ofcourse !! )

I know, nothing will ever be 100% unanimous. However, the general consensus among fans from other teams is that Chelsea is the easiest draw...

who would in the right mind claim to want RM and Bayern...very attacking teams.....

and loads of fans are blind to the fact that we are the most effective defense in europe this season .... ignorance is bliss to some
