Plus 2 of the big 3 (i guess Germany is big 3 league) domestic leagues are going to go pretty close to the last game of the season to determine who is the winners of said leagues, pretty cool :D
Best knockout stage in a long time? I'm still yawning when I have to think of the ro16. The quarterfinals were great though, but overall Im not sure if I'll remember this season in any special way a few years from now.
Yea it was pretty yawn, no epic games at all. Some impressive performances but for the neutral it was pretty meh
Same here. I won't easily forget the disappointment of the ro16 and I think only a Dortmund comeback could have made this campaign special, but now yeah I don't think many will remember things to come. (Unless Atletico win the champions league)
I will remember Chelsea winning the CL... And I'll make sure to remind everyone at regular intervals in the future
Real is so overrated... They haven't improved since Ancelotti arrived and they lost the tactical rigour that Mourinho brought (not that Ancelotti is a bad coach, but it's just not the same). Alright, I might be a little biased being a Barcelona fan, but I think that Real is the worst team of the 4 remaining teams. Now it doesn't mean that they can't win the CL. A good day for Ronaldo and Bale and they can score 3 or 4 to any team. It's just that 8 games out of 10, I see Bayern win this confrontation.
Also I don't see why they "deserve" to win their 10th CL title. This club is the perfect example of a club that doesn't deserve to win the CL. Despite all these millions wasted they still haven't won a CL, and they are not in control of la Liga at all. They just used their money to stay among the best in Europe. With that budget and a real project they could create something huge, but they prefer to satisfy the FIFA/PES fans by buying stars left and right. I'm not even talking about the sh*t mentality of some of their players or their staff, but I'd say they hardly "deserve" to win a CL. Again, I might be a little biased here
Atletico vs Chelsea, I think Chelsea is favorite because of the experience and because of Mourinho (which is a more experienced version of Simeone :p), I'd say 60-40 Chelsea. Also because the second leg is in Stamford Bridge.
Yeah it is still the biggest club in the world though Willy xD I mean if i was asked to play for any team in the world it's Chelsea first of course, but after that it is Real Madrid it is the biggest club in the world and there is hardly any player in the game who can resist the chance to play for them. Thats why i think be cool to see them win a 10th championship, would be cool. Chelsea winning a 2nd would be even better though of course

The times have changed, i dunno if it's just me but 10+ years ago when Real Madrid was the dominant force it was, it's is now many clubs with alot of moeny and many exceptionally good players where everyone can beat everyone among the top giants. Am i totally wrong here or?

You are right about Real Madrid as a football club, as a brand it's the number 1 in the world tho
Team News Arda Turan came through training having missed Friday's match with a groin strain. Defender Javi Manquillo is available following a neck injury.
Team News Petr Čech trained on Monday having sat out Saturday's loss with illness but Eden Hazard is a major doubt with a calf injury suffered in the quarter-final second leg against Paris Saint-Germain. Branislav Ivanović is suspended. Eto'o did not Travel.
Ahhhhhhh so excited and nervous tonight I have a feeling Hazard is going to play and also i feel so bad for Torres, he will start tonight and he is going to have to play so well for us to have a chance. Atletico will give him a big cheer though, so hopefully it might inspire him to play well :D

I am pretty sure Real will win. Just too much offensive power for Bayern in its current state. Final with Real vs Chelsea would be an awesome storyline.
