Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich

Atlético de Madrid vs Chelsea.

Havent found the date yet.

WHAT IF Atlético meets Real in the final, and denies them la décima >:0
That would be so insane.

We're screwed, lol. Bayern are going to give us a good spanking. Nevertheless, I'm happy we get to measure ourselves against the world's best team. It's Ancelotti's first season in charge, and I'd be happy with any result. :)

Since the tournament changed name and structure in 1992, no club has managed consecutive wins, Milan were the last holders to successfully defend their title, in the 1989–90 season

@dynastian I have a feeling Madrid are gonna knock Bayern out :)

@Bluezz

Haha, thanks mate. I'm hoping for a Madrid win (as always), but let's see how we fare against the world's best. We're going to have to play our hearts out if we want to win. :)

@dynastian Yeap, all I can say is that these matches are gonna be the most exciting ones this season ! So good luck !

@Bluezz

Thanks mate! Best of luck to Chelsea in the PL and CL. :)

@dynastian thanks :)

Get a room, you two. All this love is stinking up the thread.

Madrid vs Chelsea final, time to take a 10th Champions League.

Madrid vs Chelsea FINAL , would be the perfect final for me , i am sure At-madird reached semi final for the 1st time and Chelsea with Jose Morinho have much experience on this level so i think Chelsea will won , and for the real Madrid its s tough a time baby and i dont want to see Byern again in final for three continue year

@Rama Ah right, it was still called CL. Anyway, no one won 2 back to back CL's in it's current format ( since 1992).

What if AM and Real meet in the final and AM wins the CL while in the league AM also win :0 , they will be dening them two tittles

@Wayne

Can't say they haven't deserved it. :P

They've been fantastic this year.

Here's a photo of Costa's injury:

Looks gruesome but nothing a set of stitches won't fix.

Respect for this player, while some players are preserving themselves for world cup ( some in Barcelona as well ), this guy gives everything each game no matter who is the rival.

They deserve to win the League.

Costa just received a wound. Atleti confirmed that no bone was broken/fractured.

@Tiki

I've got to say, I lost all my respect for the man with the insane amount of times he cheats and tries to cheat every game, and the fact that he actually has the balls to tell the media that he "grew up like that". What's your take on this?

He is not the only South American like this, they are all like this : Suarez, Neymar, Pepe, Di Maria....... and the list is long.You can leave the Ghetto but the Ghetto never leaves you, you cant demand to a person born and raised at a Rio favella to have the same fair play than an Europeen player from a midle class family.Our Occidental governments especially US government are responsable for the South American corruption and Dictatories, the South American people are living in poverty and corruption and nobody complain after a game about a dive or cheating technic, its just mainstream to them.So when you grew up in a place where cheating is mainstream, and you did it in your whole life, its hard to change behaviour since there is no sanctions...Argentinian people celebrated Maradonas goal as a real hand of god, Uruguay congratulated Suarez for his hand save against Ghana, fooling ref is part of Football in many places in the world when the whole society is corrupted...And as a Europeen and North American people, we are not well placed to give them moral lessons because our Rich people make the whole 3rd world suffer from poverty violence etc....Tevez,Pepe,Di Maria all came from Ghettos and Favellas... They had a very strong mental and a big winning mentality to reach the top, dont ask ghetto youth to be fair play they didnt grew up with Christmas and gifts and love.

Im not making a generality but i try to find some legitimate reasons, for instance Kaka whos from a midle class family ( Wich is very rare for a South A. Footballer) is more Fair play.Im not saying all Ghetto players arent Fair play, im just saying that many countries grew up with the idea that fooling ref is a way to win, because they dont have other choice in life to win. I respect more players who dont dive, but you know, nowadays we would be hypocrits to not say its not mainstream.

When Maradona played against England, he commended their fair play. They always went for the ball, never tried to hurt the opposition. As an Argentinian, he doesn't understand this way of playing, he says. Pretty funny.

Look for example you have Pepe and Di Maria who have a bad reputation, we have Neymar and Busquets. I know you love Pepe as i love Busquets, its like this every team has their divers and its tolerated to fool refs in modern Football we should just accept it and move on.In England there is many dives each week and everybody is feeling offended to see a dive while its ust mainstream and sometime we are silently happy to get a favourable call but warm up everytime there is a call against us.I think our society is less corrupted but more hypocrite because as long the ref would stay a human being, diving and cheating will still exist.

look at Chelsea fans for example, their coach is the icon of Anti-fairplay but they love him because he does everything to make them win, but they will feel offended at every rival bad atitude forgetting they have Mourinho as a coach...

Yeah, i think our society is more hypocrite than in South America and less corrupted.

But its the actual rich people mentality not just the players, when result become more important than the show given to the stadium and since money control the world......

To go back to Costa, he is a hell of a player with an all for the win mentality, he could be very dangerous Under Mourinho. I dont want him to join EPL, i prefer watching him playing in la Liga.
