In the CL. Should be entertaining! Two very good match-ups there IMO.
Bayern v Barcelona
Dortmund v R Madrid
El Classico final??
Perfect draw

Bayern really need to take advantage of Barca's poor away form in the knock out stages. Look at how well Milan pressed them and deservedly won, Bayern have superior players all over the pitch (to Milan) as well and are an extremely organised team.
No reason why they can't go for a few goals and a big win.

probably the first time ever that the 4 best teams in europe have actually made the semi finals of the champions league, which is how it should be really, cant wait

Not meaning to sound bitter, but how the hell do you place Real Madrid in the 4 best teams?
They were 2nd in the group stages.... Were outplayed by UTD and would have likely lost, bar a terrible ref decision. Then almost let Galatasary back into what should have been a walk in the park.
In Europe and domestically, they have hardly performed.

real are a great side, who's better than them? certainly not us, we've played well about 3 times this season, PSG, no, Juventus, no who else?

I think Bayern can beat this Barca team. They are just not good enough defensively in my opinion. I think a team as good as Bayern can punish their back 5 and at the same time Bayern's defence and Midfield is much better suited to coping with Barca than PSG's was.
If Barca improve their defence in summer, they'll be absolutely formidable once again.

Are you talking about football on paper?
Because, on the pitch, we outplayed Madrid on two occasions. If RVP had his shooting boots on, we would have trounced them... Even with that ref decision.

We definitely coped well against Madrid in both games, until the red card, but I wouldn't go as far as saying " we outplayed them ".
Take your red tinted specs off. Madrid were also pretty good in the first leg and our keeper saved us once or twice as well as the post.
We certainly didn't disgrace ourselves anyway.

outplayed might be over the top.... but we were firmly in the match and edged both games, imho. We controlled the 2nd leg completely.
