    Lookin' Ahead: Real Madrid/Bayern Munich & Barca/Chelsea CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
    At first glance, this may seem like a very square comment, but is there any way that these two Champion's League matches don't go OVER 2.5 goals?

    With Bayern Munich playing Real Madrid in Germany, they know that they need to net some at home because there is almost no way that Madrid doesn't get a few goals at the Bernabéu. Add in that Ronaldo is seemingly scoring at will? I can't see it not being a 2-1 game at the minimum. I think it's over by halftime in this game.

    And Barcelona/ Chelsea even moreso. Chelsea just put 5 goals past Tottenham, giving lots of players extra confidence in finding the net. I don't think it's possible to keep Messi from scoring anymore. He scores every game I watch.

    What do you think?

    Semi finals are generally approached way more cautious than your average league game. I have a feeling the Bayern/Real match may be low scoring and the second will be more high scoring. If Barca get a first half goal, Chelsea will be forced to go all out for goals. But be aware, Chelsea will likely approach this one defensively and physically as they know this is the only way they will beat Barca and it almost worked last time, no doubt they would take 0-0 in the first leg if offered.

      Why would Dani Alves say these things?

      The Barcelona full-back has stirred up memories of their controversial win over Chelsea in their 2009 Champions League semi-final


      "People say Chelsea could have won but for the referee but that is not our problem. We do not control the referees. We are there to play football, to compete and to try to reach the final. What can we do about the referee?
      "Chelsea did not reach the final because of fear. The team that has got a man more, is playing at home and winning should have attacked us more. But of course, if you don't have that [attacking] concept of football that Barcelona have, you stay back and you get knocked out. You have to go forward. Stay back: losers. Go forward: winners. I think Chelsea lacked the courage to take a step forward and attack us. They paid for it."
      What can be gained by saying these things? This was kinda dumb in my opinion. Not much is spoken about mind games, but I think its advantage Chelsea.

        I think Alves needs to take one more look at this video.

          I don't want to divert this thread so let's let sleeping dogs lie.

          I'am very interested in the under for both of these games.

          Both Spanish teams want to get clean sheets. Both home teams are under dogs.

            But do you really think Bayern Munich isn't going to be able to score at home? So much firepower, and the Germans always close out halfs and games with late goals. I actually read a statistical breakdown about it. Bundesliga games have more goals in minutes 40-45 and 85-90 than any other league.

                  I am 99.9% sure that this has been translated wrong and that he has not said this. English media = failure trying to sell their bs 'information'

                    Well, he did say something like that. He also said: “At that moment, we realised that they had renounced the game,” he said. “We realised that at 1-0 they were satisfied but they forgot that at 1-1 we were through and that is what happened. All they did is get the ball and get rid of it. Ball here, hit it long; ball there, hit it long. In other words they gifted us possession. And the worst thing you can do with Barcelona is give them possession.” And honestly, is he that wrong? Guess not. But I don't care what he did or did not say. Just the normal saber-rattling before such an important match.

                      As I mentioned at the top, I really can't pick a side in Bayern Munich v Real Madrid, so I think the only bet I see is over 2.5 goals. I think Barca wins against Chelsea, as they are likely exhausted, but I think both sides will net at least one, and I'm leaning towards over 2.5 in that match too.

                                        bayern deserved the lead so far, had some nice chances , madrid playing okay I guess, I think bayern will score one more and finish the game with a 2-0 win, enough to kick them out

                                          Yeah looks like 2-0 or 1-1. With my luck Madrid will level and Bayern will score in injury time.

                                          Ronaldo should stop taking all these FK's. I know he scored a magnificent one recently, but he's attempted over 40 and scored only 1.

                                                Mourinho is useless doing crap all over!

                                                he keep Coentrao all the fvcking game even though he lost every challenge agains Lahm and Robben, he let play DI Maria till almost the end.

                                                He took out Ozil!

                                                All the BS Mourinho did once agains is costing the game! WTF is Khedira doing all the time on the field

                                                  This is all great and fun for Bayern, but when they play in Spain it will be much different.

                                                    I hope so! But Real is playing awful and Mourinho is responsible for this! And even he still doesn't realize that some players should be on the bench, today Di maria, Coentrao and Khedira shouldn't have played!!!

                                                      he keep Coentrao all the fvcking game even though he lost every challenge agains Lahm and Robben, he let play DI Maria till almost the end.

                                                      He took out Ozil!

                                                      All the BS Mourinho did once agains is costing the game! WTF is Khedira doing all the time on the field
                                                      i thought coentrao and khedira did really well to be honest. Bayern can play much better than this, they just did not have enough courage to go out and attack all the time. It will be a tough one to call on whos going to the final.

                                                      One question, those players who got a yellow card today, if they get one more yellow in the returning leg, do they miss the final?

                                                        With Bayern Munich playing Real Madrid in Germany, they know that they need to net some at home because there is almost no way that Madrid doesn't get a few goals at the Bernabéu. Add in that Ronaldo is seemingly scoring at will? I can't see it not being a 2-1 game at the minimum. I think it's over by halftime in this game.

                                                        And Barcelona/ Chelsea even moreso. Chelsea just put 5 goals past Tottenham, giving lots of players extra confidence in finding the net. I don't think it's possible to keep Messi from scoring anymore. He scores every game I watch.

                                                        What do you think?
                                                        Game went Over, Chelsea vs. Barcelona will too!

                                                          Well Khedira may be did a normal job

                                                          Coentrao was crap I saw Robben going by that wing all the time, between him and lahm Coentrao was just watching.

                                                          I think they miss the final, but I´m not sure
