Great round. The penalty was really questionable though, and I think it would be more fair if there was extra time. Real didn't deserve this, and Juventus surely didn't reserve to be knocked out they way they were knocked out last night. Seems so typical for the "big teams".

I am glad though that we will watch at least one Bosniak in the semifinals, Edin Dzeko.

Roma vs Liverpool. Don't care who it is but i need one of them to win the whole thing. Going to be two good matches.

I love how Roma predicted this yesterday.


rigged?



Bayern vs Real Madrid again, nothing new. Bayern with Jupp can do some damage.

What a game. Mo Salah deserves The ballon d'or. This is his season

Typical roma

 

[Molotoff]

Liverpool totally dominated the game. Though, it was so clear how toothless they are without their trio, Salah, Mane and Firmino. It was clearly visible when Firmino and Salah got off. Their defence is shite. I hope Roma can turn this around, somewhere deep down I still believe, but it will tough (not to say impossible) to repeat the performance against Barcelona in the second game. But you never know, it's football and Roma were 1-4 down after the first game against Barcelona.

I am so glad for my Bosniak geeljire Edin Dzeko. He made me proud.

Liverpool... But could they do it on a warm, humid night in Rome? Olimpico will be a lions pit.

Forza Roma and Edin Dzeko!

If the game continued 20 minutes longer Liverpool would have lost it's scary how terrible they are without Salah.

Liverpool defense is still suspect . You've always got a chance against them if you neutralize their 3 pace merchants upfront. In midfield they have hardworking donkeys with zero ounce of creativity.

Roma tactics played into Liverpool's hand. You can't play high line with paceless CBs against them

And 3-5-2 vs 4-3-3 is always a mismatch.

Gotta back Real here, Bayern tend to bottle against english teams in CL finals

It won't be the first time.

In 2004 Morientes, Real player on loan at Monaco knocked them out in the QF.

I remember that match can't believe monaco made it all the way to the finals to bad they were thrashed.
Anyway he's playing really well so hopefully he can prove zidane wrong.

Zizou never liked him from the beginning. He always considered him a surplus to requirement.

I dislike how zidane is portrayed as some kind of tactical genius when in fact he copied benitez tactics and just switched to a 4-3-3 defensive substituting james with casemiro the only thing I can truly say he's good at is boosting player morale

Yeah Zizou ball is more pragmatic and less entertaining but it wins them major trophies though

Hard to complain.

Tough result for Bayern to take, they missed a couple of very good chances/tap ins.

Roma were unlucky but if they had made the final they would've been raped by real.

Can't see how like lolvren and van Dyke will keep Real from scoring 4/5 in the final.
