Injury Card? I can play that game as well. Robben, Boateng, Martinez.
Bayern should have crushed them in Turin. Didn't happen.
Bayern got really lucky today lol, I don't know if they weakened by this or if this will give them a huge moral boost.. Not betting against them though, they have been the second best team in europe after barcelona and Juve should have killed them off here

Seemed like it. Must have been a peppy pep talk by Pep.
Still more stacked than Juventus
And Bayern was playing at home
So no excuse
I didn't. Bayern started well, Vidal could have scored after three minutes. Would have been a complete different game.
But that didn't happen. Alaba happened, twice, and Juve toyed with us the rest of the first half. After that we gathered the troops and came back.
But as I already said: a loss yesterday would have been a massive failure.
The Subs gave us a much needed breath of fresh air. Coman was great and Pep's move to put Costa in a central Position payed off as well.
A friend of mine was at Camp Nou
He caught Suarez' goal
Juve looked ty in first three months of season, but after that they have turned their around and are still probably a top 4 team in Europe in admittedly weak CL season..IF you come to think about it, that is hardest draw Bayern could have had..The team still has a defensive hole, but coming through a tie like that is pretty important for mentally suspect group..
Benfica is one of the better teams there. Two times Champions, another 5 finals plus 2 recent finals in the Europa.
Looks like it will be 6 teams from "2-team league" La Liga in the quarterfinals of the Champions League & Europa league, 3 in each tourney

No surprise, Spanish teams have been owning European compe ions lately.
It's the debate between the better league (EPL) vs the better teams (La Liga)
If it were only the top teams that are better, the argument Premier > La Liga would hold water, but second tier La Liga teams also dominate vs second tier teams from other leagues.
First, since some teams can't afford top foreign players (or in the case of Athletic Bilbao that all players have to be Basques) they have to make sure to develop good players to be compe ive. Then, La Liga fans don't like defensive teams, which is nowadays proven better then defensive counter attacking. Finally, playing worlds top teams regularly makes all teams better.
Yes, that's what I meant.
Not a surprise, EPL is only compe ive because all the teams are equally ty. Every top team from Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 would dominate the Premier league.
Leicester City is about as good as Celta Vigo tbh
What else is old son?
Bayern lost a penalty shootout in Munich in the 2012 UCL Final
I said "usually" tbh
Wolfsburg vs RMAO
Bartha vs Atleti
PSG vs Citeh
Bayern vs Benfica
Bayern/Real should cakewalk to the semis.. Think PSG should be favourite considering late form...But i have feeling Barca/Atletico will be closer than expected because of same league rivalry factor and Diego Simeone tactics..
Looks like the 1st leg of Barca- Atleti is 3 days after El Clasico.
RM is such a mess right now, I wouldnt be surprised if VFL kicks them out
Pooropa League draw :
Braga x Shakhtar
Villarreal x Prague
Bilbao x Sevilla
Dortmund x Liverpool ..... I DID NOT SEE that one coming
As usual Real Madrid playing against the strongest team #FIFArato
