Tonight's semi-final second leg is at the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid have to overcome Bayern's 2 - 1 advantage. Will they do it? Will Cristiano Ronaldo deliver a performance, where Messi failed?
I dont think Messi failed last night I think having watched his last few games he is having a dip in form which is understandable after the season he has had he was bound to tire after a while Barca need to rest him for next few games. As for tonight I think we may have our second shock result. Bayern are a great side and if Gomez gets half a chance you would back him to finish. Real didn't look all that great at weekend against a poor Barca performance. Gonna be a good game tonight Bayern to grab a draw.
After almost predicting it perfectly last night (damn that Torres) I will give you the latest betting advice: Bayern will qualify but I'm not sure how. I cant see them getting beat 3-2 so we can rule out away goals and I'm not sure about a draw at the end of 90. I'll go for either Bayern to snatch a goal in extra time to make it 2-2 or pens. I was sorely tempted to have an 11/4 bet on them winning the whole thing but for some reason I now have a doubt about them winning at home. I can see a Roma vs Liverpool scenerio and the fact Chelsea are SO depleted somehow makes them more likely to become the first London side to win in my eyes. You're welcome.
I'd like Madrid to go through for the Mourinhio factor, would make for an interesting final! That's not to say it wouldn't be should Bayern get through, they're a decent side who'll be up for getting to the final on their home turf. I'm going for Madrid to go through though, 2-0 to them this evening.
Definitely difficult to predict! I think Madrid will just shade it...maybe extra time (or penalties).
Didn't Robben get decked by Ribery at half time in the first leg? I think Bayern could well go on to win in the final.
Ribery just reminds me of a Bond villain. There's alot of incentive for Bayern to win it on their own ground. Plus there's a bit of rivalry between Real and Bayern.
Quite a tussle: Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have rewritten the Primera Division record books with one unbelievable display after another this season. The two players are running neck-and-neck not only in the race for the Pichichi but also the Liga title. The Argentina international broke Barca's all-time official scoring record earlier in the campaign at the tender age of 24 and has an astounding 63 goals to his name in all club competitions in 2011-12. Messi also became the first player in the Champions League era to score five goals in a single match, when he achieved the feat against Bayer Leverkusen on March 7, while joining Jose Altafini as the highest scorer in a single European Cup campaign with 14 strikes. Ronaldo has been no slouch either as he netted a hat-trick in Los Blancos' opening league game and hasn't looked back since, breaking the record he set last year for the most goals in a Liga season with his 41st against Sporting on April 14 to bring his tally to 53 competitive goals in 49 appearances this term ahead of the Clasico. The players are enjoying a goal-scoring campaign of epic proportions and still have more matches in which to add to their computer-game like statistics, starting with the crunch clash in Catalunya on Saturday. Pundits, fans and peers are running out superlatives to describe the two modern attackers but football is a sport rich in history, and has long produced lethal strikers of all different shapes and sizes. http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3277...istory-messi-cristiano-ronaldo-europes-top-10
Dont want Bayern to win as the final is in there ground. Chelsea v. Real Madrid and the Jose factor has far more spice to it. imo
