Judging by how Atletico completely pulled Barcelona apart in the last match, I can't see how Chelsea can win. Plus Atletico have got the best defensive record in the La Liga this season.
 
Atletico is on fire! I'd like Chelsea to win because Mou, but I'm convinced they can't do so. Mou will play defensively and play on counter-attack and opponent error. All the CL's he won it was because of that strategy.

Real Madrid v Bayern is the one I'm really interested. I clash of titans in the semi-finals. I can't predict the game because I think Bayern isn't playing at full pontential/speed and have been doing a minimal effort CL. And we can't tell anything from Bundesliga because they are already champions from months ago. Real is going nicely even without Ronaldo (hopefully he will play tomorrow). We'll see what tomorrow has in store for us.
 
Both semis are hard to call. The teams are pretty closely matched in most positions (with the exception of Chelsea lacking a decent striker).

I hope Athletico win as they are the least 'monied' team. Plus it will wind Maureen up resulting in a no doubt surreal press conference where he blames FIFA/UEFA/God/Refs/United Nations/NATO/the Devil - pretty much anyone he can think of rather than taking any responsibility... should be even more hilarious than his press conference after they lost to Sunderland :lol:

I don't have a massive preference over Bayern/Madrid... unless Ronaldo is fit enough to play, then I want Bayern to hammer them so I watch see him cry ;)
 
Chelsea team...Cech, Cole, Cahill, Terry, Azpi, Mikel, Luiz, Lampard, Willian, Ramires, Torres...Ivanovic suspended, Hazard still out...

Atletico....Courtois, Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Filipe, Mario, Gabi, Koke, Raul Garcia,Diego Ribas, Diego Costa...
 
Nice to see Courtois out there. Would obviously like an English team winning in Europe but don't see it happening.

Caused by Luiz pushing Garcia into him.

It would be Luiz, wouldn't it?

Caused by the situation. If it was a player there would be a bit of a skirmish.
 
Christ, Chelsea are boring to watch... no wonder Torres doesn't score... he's so on his own he may as well be playing on a different pitch.

Shame Chelsea don't have another great goalkeeper on the pitch..oh wait!...

:lol:
 
Chelsea are there not to lose though, get a draw and go for the win at the Bridge..
 
Chelsea are a great team, they are second in the PL and in the semis of the CL for a reason. But man are they tedious to watch.

Can't wait to see Liverpool in the CL next season.
 
Not surprised a single bit the way Chelsea are playing, expect the same against us this weekend.

Nearly fell asleep...

Yep... 2nd in the English Premier, and playing like a Div 1 side against a Premier club - punting the ball long, hoping Torres can hold it up (which is NOT his strength) or hoping to score from a set piece .

Maureen's sides are sooo boring to watch. If they don't score (and they don't look like they will), they run the risk of going out to an away goal at the Bridge.

Yeah, the Chelsea bus will be parked at 14.05 on Sunday :lol:

---------------------------

For English viewers... Adrian Childs & roy Keane are 🤬 pundits.
 
David Luiz shows he has a glass jaw. 5 minutes into the second half and already stalling.

Surprised Terry hasn't hit on her yet! :lol:

He will have done... just hasn't hit the papers yet.

I give her a 6/10...

8/10. Most female physios are hot. The one encharged of my knee is surprisingly similar to Eva.

--------------

This is a typical game where both are afraid to win :lol:
 
And just as we're talking about Terry, he gets stretchered off (by Eva Carneiro) with an ankle injury.
 
Terry out for Sunday... I hope.

Actually, make that Terry, Ramirez and Chech with any luck.
 
I think the referee was afraid to get compliments from Jose. What a poor performance.
 
Cech has dislocated his shoulder... so that's him out for the rest of the season.
 
A dislocated shoulder isn't that bad. Puyol did it against Benfica last CL and he was playing the other game. Javi Garcia, before Man. City, dislocated, located it again and played the rest of the game.
