    Liverpool and Arsenal will surely make top 4. Exciting race though.

    I know, i dont even give a f--- anymore tbh

    I will always support the team but their are so many issues with the team, the biggest is Berlusconi.
    The day he dies or sells the club i can see Milan maybe becoming a top team in europe again, til then Milan will be a struggle team.

    Yeah I know, but there were/are always wrong decisions with red cards and penalties, not just with Chelsea. The Costa ban was deserved, and Mourinho getting fined for his comments about referees is nothing extraordinary. So I don't get this campaing against Chelsea thing.

    Disagree regarding Costa, the ref clearly saw the incident if you look at the replays which means the FA should not have got involved; sounds like you dont watch that many Chelsea games, we very rarely get favorable decisions

    It'll be close, something like 1-0 I think? I'm more interested in the other match tbh, Borussia is bouncing back in Bundesliga and has performed well so far in the cl, I'd like to see them win tonight.

    Juve strong af in their too. Should be an interesting matchup. I really dont understand Dortmund's decline in the league.

    Mmm yeah Juve is strong (especially in Serie a) but they haven't had a convincing game so far in the cl imo. I have watched some Dortmund games and I've read a few analyses/articles regarding their performance this season, imo the german teams managed to cop with their new offensive tactics (which didn't work out very well anyway because the new players have been underperforming, they had Lewa and now they're playing with Mkhitaryan lol), they had quite a few injuries (most notably Reus) and ofc the uncertainty regarding Reus' transfer, especially if he went to Munich. All these factors started affecting them psychologically I think, in cl they've played without that much pressure and had some very good games.

    [​IMG]

    These photos are from 22/11 from their game with Paderborn. They were ahead 0-2, and then this happened ^^^, Reus got injured by a former teammate. They collapsed and the game finished 2-2 against a really weak team. Klopp almost smashed his head there lol. They're playing well recently though, with a bit of luck it's possible that they'll manage to play in europa league next season.

    What do you think about City - Barca?

    Injurys has been one problem but the biggest i think is there defence. I been watching some of their games recently and the play very good attacking football now with Reus back too but they are awful at the back. Subotic and Sokratis are average defenders that make too many misstakes, thats there biggest problem.

    I can see barce beating city I think. By passing them to death.
    City will score so they'll need a couple.

    both will be good games. Until about a moth ago, I'd have said City would beat Barca, but now i'm not so sure. Both teams in great form.

    For City Barca I will expect goals. Barca will want a nice advantage to take to camp nou. Bearing in mind the importance of the madrid game.
