After this weeks performance you know all of UEFA wont be as subtle when it comes to choosing bad refs. Expect Mark Clattenberg and Howard Webb to be refs for the second legs

"Only one of these teams need Guardiola," Gary Lineker commented after the game. "And it isn't Bayern."

Another classic quote from lineker.

If Madrid manage to make a comeback and get into the finals, I'm sure Barca players will be careful to not cause injuries or bookings.

The real question here is who's missing the game from barca? Jordi Alba for sure, what about Puyol/Adriano they were injured. What about iniesta? is he playing or he has 2 yellow cards? If Adriano/puyol are still injured then robben can exploit the left flank of barcelona, abidal is not ready and bartra-pique is gonna be the 2 central backs.

I'm for Gustavo and Tymo in the middle. not to be over confident but no way in hell we lose 5-0. If we risk Martinez and Schwein my fear is they'll def get booked. Muller or who ever plays CAM will have more defensive responsibilities.

Yikes i know Bayern won 4-0 but if there is any team you were forced to bet on to make a comeback of this proportion Barcelona would be on that very short list. I say play Martinez/Gustavo cause Schweinstiger is the key element. Then sub in Tymo for Martinez or whichever one hasnt been suspended once the game looks sealed up.....

great article!

To note that Gomez is also one yellow card away from suspension but he probably wouldn't start anyway.

I think the Mez deserves the nod, but Manzo will probably start the next leg as well as the final. I'm slowly buying into this off the ball movement and link up play approach.

What about Alaba in mdf ? whenever he played there he was fine IMO.



then have Rafinha, Dante, Martinez ready to step in if need be or to save Lahm...

As far as I know Alba is the only suspended player.

Also, I think Adriano missed because of suspension, not injury.

I don't know if Jupp is bold enough to play Contento vs Barcelona if he doesnt have to......

We can't be naïve against Barca, and Jupp knows that. It's going to be a full-strength squad, possibly with one of Schweinsteiger/Martinez benched. I'm hoping for Dante to be benched as well to have him available for the grand finale.
