Re: Who will be in the Champions League final this year?
I expect it to be an el clasico, I reckon bayern have little chance against madrid. They have improved, but are still liable defensively, It'll be a goal haul between the two sides. I reckon 2-2 draw first leg and 3-1 to madrid in the second leg.
The barca match, well as a chelsea fan, we could win it at the bridge, but we can't play for a draw at the nou camp, barca will press until they find a way through, I don't see us beating them at the nou camp either so we just have to limit how much they win by at the nou camp. We can only hope we face them inter milan style at the nou camp and basically have 11 men behind the ball for 90 mins with no counter attacks whatsoever either. -

Has to be an El Classico Champions League final. -
Re: Who will be in the Champions League final this year?
Barca win - Equal Liverpool's 5. Guardiola equals Paisley's 3 EC's.
Madrid win - Mourinho equals Paisley's 3 EC's.
Bayern win - Equal Liverpool's 5.
And I just don't like Chelsea really.
Can't win. Probably wouldn't mind Chelsea winning it. But then it'll be 'OMG BEST TEAM IN ENGLAND' -

We know we've had a **** season. I wouldn't even mind if we didn't win the CL or the FA cup, I just wanna be in the CL next season. -

We still have 0
Well done to Chelsea tonight. But Barca will win it at home. Bayern/Madrid is 50/50 I think. -
Re: Who will be in the Champions League final this year?
I think for the sake of intrigue, the home teams really needed a positive result to keep the ties interesting going into the second leg. If Barca and Real both got away victories this week, the second leg wouldn't excite me as much because an El Classico final would be fairly predictable. From a neutral perspective, it's nice to see the ties are very much alive at this point.

Re: Who will be in the Champions League final this year?One goal for Chelsea and Barca need three. On today's performance, that's by no means guaranteed.(Original post by Ano1)

Re: Who will be in the Champions League final this year?Sure could!(Original post by Ano1)
3rd best with #13 League (1 unbeaten in Premeir League
)
2nd best with #10 Fa Cups
Currently 3rd. Could be worst for us : P
Although we're not far behind, 7 league titles, 7 FA cups & 5 League Cups!
add that to the European Cup & European Super Cup, and it's not a bad haul!
Granted some of yours are a little more recent haha -
Re: Who will be in the Champions League final this year?Indeed, it would be great if both managed to score first away from home and finish the ties.(Original post by Zerforax)
Who wouldn't thought that Chelsea/Bayern final would be more likely at this stage.
A clasico final seems unlikely at this point, especially considering Real and Barcelona will go all out this weekend.Last edited by Catilina; 19-04-2012 at 10:51. -
Re: Who will be in the Champions League final this year?Given the result (1-2 to Real!) I think Chelsea will see a weakness in Barca and hopefully go out with the intention of scoring a goal. This will come back and bite me I know, but I thought Messi looked a bit jaded in the last two games.(Original post by Catilina)

Similarly Bayern have been very strong in Europe this season and would fancy themselves to get a goal at the Bernabeu. The difference is Ronaldo looks as dangerous as ever and they have a way of suffocating people there.
Here's to a great week of football anyway

Re: Who will be in the Champions League final this year?Ronaldo has been top notch this season, but I have a slight feeling that Bayern will win? for all these seasons Bayern have been a good team but they've galvanized their squad and as for Chelsea 1 goal at the Nou Camp could mean barca need to pull a blinder(Original post by Banishingboredom)
