You think that a team just chooses if they are "to try" and score goals? DO you think that Atletico last night did not want to "try and score" goals? This is not how football works. Every game is different, and last night Real Madrid were a lot more concentrated and well prepared than they were...

Juventus in the CL this season: Juventus - Malmoe 2-0 Atletico - Juventus 1-0 Olympiacos - Juventus 1-0 Juventus - Olympiacos 3-2 Malmoe - Juventus 0-2 JUventus - Atletico 0-0 (A result that favored Atletico, since it gave them top spot in the group) Last 16: Juventus - Dortmund 2-1...

Simeone's Atletico is a far-far poorer team than MOurinho's Inter let alone Mourinho's Chelsea. You can't really blame a poor man for for trying to compensate through negative tactics.

The difference is infinitesimal, it really makes little if any difference. But the claim of some was not that Real Madrid may be a slightly better draw for Juve than the other two, the claim was this: I especially like the Ramos part:

Well, using my head causes me to wonder why Real Madrid annihilated this very Bayern you claim are on another level whenever they want to be. I mean what happened last season, Bayern were not that interested? I also wonder how Real beat us 3-1 this season on their own ground (and could have...

On what basis can you even say that? Real have had the upper hand versus both Bayern and Barcelona recently, they are European Champions, they annihilated Bayern last season etc etc etc. That doesn't even make any sense!

This was your statement: They would surely win against us. So, according to you, we are so lucky that Dortmund got annihilated by Juventus because they would surely win against us. Oh man, thank God and the heavens that Dortmund are out!!!

I am not saying we should be complacent. I am saying that I want them in the semi. If we play well against Juventus, we are 95% through. If we play well against Real/Bayern we are at best, 60% through. Simple as that. A rational calculation of probabilities.

Precisely! This is what I have been saying all along. From best to worst: 1. Juventus - Let's cut the BS. By far the weakest side here. 2. Real Madrid - Like us, they have a league to fight for, and games vs Sevilla and Valencia to worry about. Probably slightly better than Bayern, but...

Have you seen Barca/Real/Bayern play? Now, compare them to JUventus and their results so far in the CL and the way they went past Monaco! They are the uber-weak link here. No two ways about it.

At this stage and in this company, they are puny as fuck. Of course they can win the whole thing, there is always the possibility of an upset in football, but that doesn't make them any less puny at this stage. Pep/Lucho/Carlo will all be praying for Juventus at this stage.

There is only one rational desire for us: Juventus! They are clearly the weakest link from the last 4. Even though they have their league wrapped up and everything, they are still far inferior to any of the other two potential opponents. Bayern are the worst option. Not because they are...

I did not see it very well, but I think that the ref could easily have avoided the red card and not destroy the time in the process.

I think I will make that statement my signature.

:lol: Real Madrid are the only team in history to have played a CL QF against fucking APOEL! Bayern the only one to have played Lyon at that stage! I think that we are entitled to get Juventus in the semis. But it will not happen.

Nope. That will happen only if you draw them.

Just as a reminder of what Premface stupidity can achieve. This from Redcafe:

Agreed, and they make mistakes regardless of who their partner is as well. Sure it's better to have Baresi by your side, but still. But back to Boateng, I think that we can safely say that he is not some unique CB talent, there many out there just like him, some even better.

I don't think that Real (or Barca for that matter) have any great need for any of the players currently playing in the BPL. You can find equal (or better) players elsewhere, without having to pay so much. But if Real Madrid really want Hazard, they can get him for sure. I just don't see how...

But like I said in my post, the discussion was over whether we had a chance of winning the CL. Your verdict was that we had zero chances, because all of those 5 teams would definitely beat us due to their superior defensive stability. So, you obviously failed to foresee that teams like Chelsea...
