Even Roma knew they will draw against Liverpool.

They have been selling tickets even before the draw.

LordAdam16:


It's because we already have a B2B. Mk UCL no kon b lyk German, Italian, and French leagues wen only 1 team dey win.

But we no send. We'd win this one. Then open the check book and splash to reinforce this team, make treble for sure next year.

Anybody wen no lyk am, mk e boil stone.

-Lord

, thank god we are playing away first. Bayern are on the edge of winning treble. We need to spoil show for them.

We all knew Bayern will be our opponent. UEFA wants us out, but we are not moving.

We are in the finals!

ATM vs arsenal. Costa and co should make this happen

usbcable:
We are playing Malaga
While Valencia is playing Barca

As long as we beat Malaga, am okay.

I just only hope someone wins the other match and no draw is played.

Valencia win means Barca unbeaten run ends
Barca win means we go back to 3rd spot

I bet this barka dogs will be biting their hands because they will surely beat Valencia. But they wouldn't like us to climb to 3rd place.

They have two option, let Valencia win and we remain 4th.

Or beat Valencia and give us a free pass.

BTW, let's not underrate malaga please.

Eyedea:
Don't be surprised if UEFA actually gives us Bayern.

lol. Who else will they give us. This people don't want us to progress. Imagine getting Tottenham and Dortmund in group stage, as if it wasn't enough, they gave us psg. As if it wasn't enough they gave us juventus.

If we get Bayern, then surely Liverpool are in the finals.

Let them give us Roma(although they arr tough) so Bayern and Liverpool will sought themselves out.

Congratulations in advance to Madrid and CR7. For winning the UCL and the next WPOTY.

Cules are pained by the deserved loss to Roma, forgetting that our games this season have been nothing to write home about.
The only time we had a nice game in the UCL was in the 1st leg against Juventus. We have been awful ever since then.
We have own-goal to thank for seeing us through the group stage, while cheer luck and individual brilliance bailed us out against Chelsea as we were completely outclassed and outplayed.
Even in the 1st leg against Roma, we didn't deserve to win, all thanks to same own-goal. It's obvious the team has regressed badly under EV. The only saving grace for him is that we never expected to have a very good season as at the start of the season due to Neymar's departure.

Just like last season after our loss to Juve, I castigated the senior players(Messi, Iniesta, Neymar, Alba and Suarez) for failing to utilise their chances while others were blaming the coach. It's just obvious our players can only raise their game when playing against Madrid(little wonder some Cules were clamouring for El Classico semi). Even though the players looked tired, I still believe they could have laboured more to preserve the lead having been so lucky in the 1st leg against Roma. They just couldn't raise the game when it mattered most.

Lastly, I have been very careful to talk about the coach ever since he was hired. But, I have been worried all season against his favoured 4-4-2 formation which never seemed to be working as far as I am concerned. His insistence on playing same line ups coupled with his attitude towards some players have clearly shown he's not made for a top club like Barca. How do we explain having a tricky/skilful player on the bench only to bring him on in the 85th minute when you needed a goal badly?
I think he's still flattered by the unbeaten run in the league, I pray that ends soon because I wouldn't want such a clueless coach in the history book of my club. He should just win the league and find his level.


As for those complaining about the PK awarded to Madrid, it's safe to say they worked hard for it. What did we do to force the ref into making a tough decision? Absolutely nothing!

you need to give some of your cules a little of your brain. Course they are empty upstairs.

The haters are knocking

Real Madrid, against the rest of the world

I understand the Madridistas who are disgusted.


I understand that it hurts to defend the epic fight of this team, especially when half the world is against you.

I understand that they don't understand why the controversy is only viral when referee decisions favour their own interests and not when they harm them.

I understand that they are perplexed at a celebration that makes them look bad.

I understand that they ask why no one is talking about the disallowed goal from Isco, which would have made it 1-1, and was as debatable as the penalty on Lucas Vazquez.

I understand their amazement at checking the arguments of the famous, some who called it the 'robbery of the century.'

Even the most accredited analysts, who don't usually comment on these issues from their pedestal, suggested that the penalty was not something "you call at that time," as if the game somehow deserved extra time.

It is disheartening, of course, to see football people overlook football when it suits them.

I understand how the [Estadio Santiago] Bernabeu fans can get upset when those heavy accusations are not used in other European matches which are as controversial, or more so.

Then, only football and values are talked about.

I understand Madridista's who are offended because it is tiring to defend a team that walks in the brain of others like a worm.

Against that, against obsessions, it is difficult to fight.

Manchester City are eliminated and their coach remembers a Madrid match last year.

Arturo Vidal paid more attention to the match at the Bernabeu than to that of his own team, Bayern Munich.

And so on.

I understand the Madridista who is upset with his team despite qualifying for the semifinals for the eighth consecutive time, and perhaps this is what generates so much anger, not the penalty.

I understand that the Madridista does not tolerate everything and that intolerable things happened at the Bernabeu.

I understand the anger because Madrid never had to put themselves in this situation of maximum risk; but football is a mystery.

Even the biggest teams can disappoint, and we've seen it this week.

I understand that the Madridista asks a lot of their team, even more than mere qualification.

The demand is always at the maximum because the twelfth Champions League is history and not worth the glory anymore.

I understand that the Madridista must know that there are always bad matches and that this consists of surviving even horrible nights where your opponent is better, more intense and is more effective.

I understand that Juventus, a gigantic rival, also played well.

I understand that by devaluing the performance in Turin, the fan cheated himself about the possibilities of the great Italian champion who Madrid have not eliminated since the 80s.

I understand that the Madridista must be confused with so much criticism, even though the call was correct and logical for what happened.

You may end up wondering if in fact the team you love so much is qualified or eliminated.

I understand that life is the same, that it is Madrid and its people who will always walk alone.

LosVikingos:
When is the draw? Friday abi?

yup.

Krasid:
Pls let UEFA give us Roma next, we have tried abeg. PSG, then Juve, shey they want to kill us . Pair Bayern with Liverpool to make this thing fair na. Btw, we love you penaldo .

lol. The only thing we Need to sought out first is set pieces. Those Romans are huge and tall.

hopefulLandlord:
This team would kill me with heart attack one day but I'm okay with that

lol. That's part of football. Even though we had a 3 goal advantage. I had that feeling that something ugly might happen yesterday. Juve had nothing to lose, that's why they all pushed for attack. Their fast play was tomuch. And that's the same thing a team like Liverpool has. We really need to buckle up.

LordAdam16:
E b lyk say we go manage Marcelo like that. Na d same thing we dey experience with Carvajal. They are assets in forward play, if we replace them, we simply have limited attacking options.

-Lord

that's one of the reasons asensio and Vasquez should be in starting line-up. They help in covering up the space they left. I hope we learn from what happened yesterday.

Kudos to CR7. if not for that his amazing jump, we would have gone to extra time.

LordAdam16:
True, but it also brings predictability. Juve would still have scored both goals in the first half if Benz had started.

After the shocks of yesterday, Zidane should have played it safe and started Vazquez and Asensio.

It was the results of yesterday and the improvised defense that had Juve believing they could pull an upset. We also didn't take our chances, which almost cost us.

-Lord

you are right.

BTW, we really need a new LB. Marcelo left his wing open, wasn't defending at all. He should be a midfielder.

LordAdam16:
They are already crying about a penalty that the ref is right on and a red card that is justifiable.

Navas got away with this one. Lucky him.

-Lord

true. I also noticed why zizou choose benzema ahead of bale in the CL. Benz beings balance, although he doesn't score but there is this balance in the team when he plays.

LordAdam16:
Something needs to be done about that defense. Especially in aerial duels. We sha missed Ramos.

-Lord

we need to sort things out soon. The semis is hot.

engrMikemd:
but he play the semis right?

yes, of course.

From what I saw tonight. We remain the under dogs in the last four.

usbcable:
Nothing lasts forever.

Real Madrid may not even carry this UCL with the way we are playing

madzukiz + higuin combo was too hot for our defense.

As if yesterday's tears weren't enough. Barka fans will shed another tears after that late goal.

Lol. 0:3

2-0
Wow

Real Madrid XI: Keylor; Carvajal, Varane, Vallejo, Marcelo; Casemiro, Modric, Kroos; Isco; Bale, Cristiano.

#halamadrid

XingXhang:
Coughs... Hala Madrid all madridstas!

This match will end 2-1 in favour of Real.

Ronaldo will score the first goal tonight with a stunner.
He will try the bicycle kick again but it will almost get in.

Buffon will go for Ronaldo's Jersey after the match.
He has no other Choice, even Ter Stegen would have done same. Though Messi would have gone ahead of him to get it.

Hala Madrid!
Zidane,I don boast finish. Abeg do what only you can do! Biko!

the bolded. Buffon collected his jersey in Turin. He won't ask for it again.

TalabiAudu:
But I thought Iniedo signed a contract with Barca for life

O lord! You just killed me
