Lol at Marcelo chasing random ball off the pitch while Bayern started their goal attack. At least he scored one after that. I'm not impressed by Vasquez so far. He is terrible starter. On the other hand fresh Bale joining at the end of the game can do some damage.

Also, Madrid needs new keeper.

The whole Real team has 9 fouls accounted. I think you miscounted a bit?

But yeah no reason not to card Carvajal

Of course not. It's Real. That would mean that the ref would have to make real decisions against them.

You remember how this tie went last year.

Yeah I can see this going really bad for Bayern. The 1-0 was a bit lucky, I don't think Bayern really did anything spectacular to deserve the lead, but they've been better after that. 1-1, only one sub left vs Bale + Benzema + Asensio for Madrid. Even with this average Real, good luck.

Bayern's looked better at pretty much every stage of the game. Except for a roughly 5 minute spell of Madrid possession, Bayern's made Madrid look very average. Madrid's goal came out of absolutely nowhere.

Dont worry, he needed an excuse to try and bait people who like, Pep.

Pep brought in Thiago, Coman, Kimich, Gotzen, Costa and thats just off the top of my head. Now that some didnt quite work out enough to replace Robben and Ribery is a different story. Not to mention those two are really good still, borrowed time and all.

Not through lack of trying though.

Sure, but they havent really quite looked 1 goal lead better either. I suppose thats debatable though.

Nope, that was no bait. Guardiola really missed replacing the old guard at Bayern. Remember how he sold Kroos to get Alonso? Alonso and Lahm retired a a season after he left. Robbery were nowhere near replaced. He tried a few players but who all turned not good enough in the end.
When Heynkes left after the treble the team was full of potential.

Pep tried to bring COman through but he ended up being sold/called back by Juventus and they lost him after Pep left. Other than that yes it was Robbery, Muller and Lewa doing the damage. Thiago also went super sayain.

Guardiola had absolutely nothing to do with selling Kroos and you know it, just another attempt to hate/bait

A team thats peaked was full of potential lelelel. You could criticise him for not adequately succeeding. But you cant for not trying. Which was your initial implication suggesting that it was his preference to not use them. Which is not a completely honest statement.

He got Kimich for Lahm. Lahm was old when Jupp was there too. What was Jupp doing? hmmmm Heck even Ribery and Robben were old when Jupp was there

Wow James just destroyed Real back 4 lol

Robben was 29 and Ribery was 30 when Pep first got there though, and that exercise his point he didn't replace either of those, he tried Coman who Ancelotti happily sold.

I'm don't really follow Bayern that much, are they plagued with injuries or what? I know Koman is out, but their bench looks very weak. At the start of the game only Thiago and maybe Tolisso look to be CL level. With Robben/Ribery almost 60 already, they need to buy some offensive players next season x)


Well their previous longterm manager didnt leave behind many young players
Guardiola rather played oldies


Which is both factually and in implication incorrect.

Being 29 and 30 = old under Jupp who was there in 2013? When they were both under 30, i don't get your point your failing to make xd

You really should pay attention to what your butting into. Look at my comment. I edited it in because I realised you actually have no idea what is going on.

29, sure any player nearing 30 should have succession planning in place. Pep did do it after all he got Kimich didnt he (albiet for different reasons cuz he wanted to put Lahm in the middle, not something I agree with)

All clubs do it, agains succeeding is a different issue which is because often diffuclt or near impossible to adequetly replace players of that calibre. But in Jupps case he didnt even bother. Look at the subs bench during his time. Makes my point.
