Champions League 2017-2018

[GabrielsHorn 2178]

Vazquez at RB was not that bad. The work that Vazquez and Asensio put in is pretty incredible as they were vital, particular Asensio for whenever Marcelo got too far up field.

Bayern was a bit unlucky though with their shots. Madrid will have to be much better than they were against Juve at home.

I think it is time for Bayern to get a lot younger. Robben and Ribery need to make way for younger players. I'd even move Boateng out of the way since he can't stay healthy. And yeah, I know if they get a couple of bounces things are different, but they didn't get them.

bayern is definitely oooooooold.  while they have done an admirable job of keeping the core together for so long, it's been too long.

Imma say this expecting flack. Real Madrid get away with more shit than any team I've ever seen. Also, they cry foul more than any team I've ever seen.

Perhaps you missed a few hundred competitive Barcelona matches over the last decade. Italian teams used to be known for the diving & crying, but Barcelona turned it up to 11 starting in 2007 or 2008 and would whine & bitch in unison (constantly crowding & touching the refs) if someone barely touched one of their skilled little bitches. It was appalling.

I actually feel like Madrid isn't getting the calls today. Referee is scared of being part of that trend.

Agreed. Marcelo got hip checked by Süle late in a play that was easy to call, especially considering he gave the Ribery dive free kick because Vázquez barely put his hand on Scarface.

Of course, a penalty could have been given to Bayern after Carvajal slammed Lewandowski from behind so that his pass to Müller was unusable.

In general, I don't think that Real Madrid got one call today, but Carvajal could have received at least one yellow in the first 30 minutes due to his hatchet jobs on Rafinha and he could have given up a penalty... which probably would have been given if Lewandowski had been looking to shoot, like Vázquez at the end of the Juventus match.

His control is just silly on some of those switches.

 

i can't find it anymore but there was an old one when Xabi Alonso was still at Madrid.  Xabi Alonso fired a long switch that Marcelo trapped going into a roulette...

Dani Carvajal out and Isco likely out vs Bayern for the second leg.

Damnit didn't think Isco's shoulder was that bad.

 

guess that means Vasquez to RB? Bale and Asensio to the top with CR7 with Bale actually slotting in at RM rather than a winger...  or do they play Benz up top with Asensio taking Isco's spot?

either way I can't see Hernandez or Hakimi playing RB and Nacho still isn't ready.

I'm looking forward to this match. Hope it's a good one.

Over/under on the number of times Ronaldo comes up acting offended that his dive wasn't awarded a penalty?

Real looked like shit at home their last CL match. Needed that call at the end to beat Juve. 

[Speedtrucker 2068]

Fucking foxsportsgo, can't login and see the game

[Jograves 357]

Kind of a weird, sloppy start.

[Captain Ron 12819]

Real strikes back.  Doesn't really change all that much. Bayern still needed a 2nd.

How do you let that cross in? Wow. 

[maninblack 7974]

That sucks but lots of time to equalize.

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Alaba ghost...

[travelingtexan 198]

Well, what can we expect with half our team injured and Lewadowski acting like a whiny bitch with one foot out the door...

Kimmich

Kimmich was covering Marcelo. Alaba was on Benz. Kimmich didn't even make a move toward Marcelo.

[travelingtexan 198]

Kimmich got beat on the first step, Alaba didnt mark his man and watched the ball go by

[travelingtexan 198]

oh well, 1-1 is better than 0-0, if we get one more its ET if it holds....long way to go but looking at the bright side

both legs we have absolutely dominated....its unbelievable we dont have 8-10 goals in these two legs

I can’t explain how Bayern did not score just now.

For real.

[travelingtexan 198]

wow, two hand balls in the 1st, what a surprise, no calls from the ref.

 

Bayern should be up 2-1 but possibly 3/4-1
