If Madrid do not get another goal you may as well scrap both second legs. There is no way the German sides will not score in Spain.

You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.

2141: GET INVOLVED

Ade: "Got to give Man City credit in hindsight for getting 2 draws against Dortmund. Just goes to show how much difference the luck of the draw makes, that was a genuine group of death."


Technically incorrect but in the context of things, he nails it.

These 2 Champions League Semi Finals first Legs have left plenty of food for thought.

Both Spanish giants were comprehensively out thought, and out fought.

The nice slow keep possession and passing game works well when sides stand off and let you play.Ironically we have suffered in games this season with a similar style

When a well drilled industrious side presses you up the pitch it doesn’t work so well.

We could learn a lot from the Germans, for starters they are well organized all through the side. They work very well as a collective unit. They prove that you don’t need to have a side full of Stars; you need plenty of glue to stick the side together, workers, not household names but good technical players to complement the great players. Then throw in a very good technical minded manager and it makes for having a good side.

We very rarely play as a collective unit as these Germans do, not just at Club level either but International level to.

Very impressed with Dortmund,think they play great football and have a great manager. Klopp dry Bummed Mourinho tonight

Mate, if we played regularly as a collective unit we would now be English Champions

We have the best squad in the Premiership. On our day we are untouchable, we have proved that doing the rags twice away in 2 seasons.

The trouble is we have far too many matches where our big game players simply do not turn up. It has cost us this season.

We need to play as a collective unit more frequently that is a fact.

Pretty sure Roberto Mancini would endorse this.He is looking for consistent performances. turning the RAGS away performance in to another 37 games

Playing as a collective unit frequently.

Sorry that upsets you, just my opinion.

2218: MANAGER REACTION - Borussia Dortmund 4-1 Real Madrid

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho: "We know everything about Robert Lewandowski, every detail possible and we lost him in three goals. It's very disappointing.

"When we lose and we don't deserve to lose, with me, it's a drama, when I do deserve to lose I accept it. Of course the boy deserves credit for what he did but we gave him every support for man of the match."


Can I get a shout out for a manager blaming his players? Never happens, this shit.

I'm sure Bob does understand this. He is constantly emphasising the point of working hard.
