Is it just me or Real keeps getting easier teams like almost every year .. Not saying that Manchester City will be walk in the park but obviously they won't be as tough as Atletico or Bayern

You are in the semi-finals of UCL, how is any opponent "easy"? People said PSG was so much better than RM when they met... And now RM are going to play vs the team that beat PSG. According to that logic RM is doomed to lose, right? Further on you have 1/3rd of a chance getting any opponent so the stats are in your favor if you want to go full retard on conspiracies.

Okay now. We had Roma,Wolfsburg and now City...hmm Anyway i expect Real Madrid to win this and go in final.I hope we'll face Bayern M, bcuz if we'll face atl.madrid in final,we will lose.And...Man.City Real Madrid will be a better semifinal, bcuz we will see much goals i think.About the other one, i dont expect goals there...

I hope City gets into final :)

I think Atletico couldnt have gotten a better draw. Bayern play very similar to Barcelona (thanks to Pep) and Atletico can handle very well defending against possession and striking on the counter. I dont think Real has had any seriously tough matches yet but hey thats the luck of the draw sometimes. The final will be great regardless. If Real get there both Bayern and Atleti will want revenge for the 2014 CL.

@raimondo: Exactly! Good point.

Real and City are a hard one to call. They both have their glaring weaknesses and are both struggling in their respective leagues. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if City pipped us on this one.

I predict Atletico to beat Bayern, though. Like @Rai said, Bayern are very similar to Barca at this moment. Atletico couldn't have gotten a better draw. The worst opponent for Atletico this round would be Real. Now that Real is in form, Atletico would have a difficult time against them despite having a solid track record in the derby in the past 3 years. City would probably lose to Atletico, but Bayern is tactically the easiest opponent for Atleti. If Atletico can't beat Bayern, they don't deserve to be in the finals, simple as that.

People can say anything , I have a brain and opinion of my own . PSG being better than Real is not a fact to m and even as opinion is silly to me and still silly till these days . PSG barely went past Chelsea and somehow they are better than a club that has one of the best players in the world .

I am not creating any conspiracies all I am pointing Real has been very fortunate in their draws . Also mate, assuming someone's opinion before that someone actually states it is the character of ignorance and low intelligence . So, tread your words carefully this is not footyroom highlights section where you can full retard with trolls . We have sophisticated bunch in forum here if you don't count yourself as one than count yourself out .

I have to agree about Atletico getting a good draw against Bayern because it would be difficult for Bayern who are so heavily relying on possession and don't do well unlocking defenses which sit deep . I will predict Atletico will go to final but Bayern can learn on mistakes , well i don't if Guardiola does learn on mistakes but if he does not then he is doomed . This one tricky draw but more likely Atletico will survive and go past Bayern .

Reason I think Real has better draw is because Manchester City exactly type of football style that Real wants to play against . City will attack and Real will happily accept the style of play and punish City with quick counters. City has slow defenders they will not keep up with Real's pacy players . I don't see City going past Real Madrid . It is not tricky at all to me .

So, the way I see what people are saying, we are getting El Derbi Madrileño for the final? That is what you are saying, right? I don't think I would mind it but it would be a reprise of the 2014 final. One thing for sure, it will be epic, can't wait.

@marcus: LoL. I didnt state anything about you specifically. And Im not being personal, Im just talking in general form. You are misunderstanding me. I AM more educated and sophisticated than that. However it does sound a bit like insinuation when you start with "is it me or real keep getting easier...". Maybe it is just you, maybe not.

As for me, among the teams that are left, I hope Bayern will take it because I think Pep sometimes is discredited too much and deserves it. Weird but I think Im among the few who likes both Ibra and Pep.

@pelle trust me anyone who read i am zlatan and supported barca or bayern would like pep and ibra.

@Pelle How is Pep discredited :/? He managed 2 of the top 5 teams in the world, for some he has not proven himself for others he did.

Taking a semi-final team to a semi-final is an achievement however winning the UCL is a much more difficult challenge, considering the rest Bundesliga can't challenge them in terms of players, money and most important destination in a player's career. Which German talent would say no to Bayern? Reus? They got already Lewa and Gotze off BVB.

@Joze: Ive read several times people saying that Pep is not good enough. That it's not him but the team that is good.

@Pelle That is just beeing biased or hateful towards him if you ask me but he did not do something special. Maybe he was unlucky but surely the German cups mean nothing with a such a powerhouse that manages. Although the way he evolved Bayern and improved is admirable.

Just personal opinion lad.

@ Joze: I like your opinion

If City get to the final they would probably win it, they are so lucky they can even pull a Chelsea.

I just hope Bayern wins it, it's probably my least hated out of the 4.

Pep vs City could be an interesting final. Atletico vs Bayern is the true final, we'll see if Simeone can handle Bayern as well as they did with Barcelona. 2 leg fixtures work well for them.

I would love to see a Pep vs City final :).

But I think Real will go through. Bayern vs Atletico would be hard to guess but Bayern would win IMO

@pele

Ok I apologize if I sounded like that , i should have been more clearer with my opinion .

I think we established fact that Guardiola is not an average manager , but i thought we also agreed that he is overhyped and his teams that he managed are overlooked pointing more to his managerial skills rather than caliber of players he always possessed and foundation that was laid before him .

If it will be another Spanish final , I would really like Atletico to win it this time . I think any team that has been knocking out Barcelona always deserves to win UCL .

IF Manchester City wins than this will be crazy and Sheikh will probably throw a year long celebration .

Highway for Real Madrid to the final, nothing scandalous i dont believe its fixed but they just drawn the easiest team in each stage.

City deserved their semi ticket fair and square, the KDB addition is a true improvment and they look less inexperienced than previous years, but PSG surely helped them. When 2 possession teams meet the one with the most in form midlefield takes it all, Verrati injured, Matuidi and Motta in their worst form of the season made PSG look weaker than what they shown this season. not to mention Cavani/Ibra ineffectiveness.

But PSG struggled because City forced them to it, credit to them and if City players werent choosing their games they would be chalenging for the PL title. In paper its the strongest line up in paaper in England.

Still i think they have 10% chances against an institution with 27 semi-final CL appearence.

In March/April one bad week could ruin a season of hard work, the international break killed Barça then they drew theteam i wanted them most to avoid.

Good luck to all teams but im rulling for Atleti, the smallest budget and salary cap but far from bein the weaker on the green pitch.
