I've seen that one, but as far as I know, it originated from a source which hits the target about as often as Tony Hibbert does.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Wolfsburg are in quite a bit of trouble already. It has been all Real Madrid so far. All that good work from the 1st leg erased inside 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 And Draxler is already off injured. But at least Wolfsburg started to play after the second goal. Though it was kinda clear, that Madrid could not keep up the pace they showed in the first 20 minutes for the entire game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 PSG were pretty lackluster but well done to City. De Bruyne is such a difference maker. Sounds like Cristiano put on quite the performance in the other game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Yep. Hattrick Ronaldo. Madrid were really that much better, today. The trouble for Wolfsburg started with the first goal. Both centrebacks missed the interception. Second goal was a poorly defended corner. Third goal was freekick, that went straight through the wall.

Consigliere Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 That was a fantastic goal from De Bruyne. He has made a big impact since his return. A bit disappointed with Wolfsburg. I thought they would have another go tonight and test a dodgy Real defence but it was the Wolfsburg defence that looked nervous. Real were winning the aerial balls at will and Wolfsburg were not at the races. Still, an admirable effort from them to get this far and give Real a proper scare.

Calibandar Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I had bet money on PSG going through and a separate bet on Madrid going through. I ended up going even. PSG disappointed tremendously over these two games. I expect there will be some changes at the club this summer. And I knew it would be De Bruyne. He's their best player.

AncalagonTheBlack Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 So, it seems we're getting Bayern Munich's fitness coach, Andreas Kornmayer next season. Quote Klopp has admired Kornmayer’s work at Bayern for several years, albeit reluctantly as he believes their fitness levels were a factor in Heynckes’s team winning the treble at his Borussia Dortmund squad’s expense in 2013. “Don’t forget,” the Liverpool manager said this year, “the 2013 treble-winning team of Bayern was unbelievably strong and they had all their players fit until the end.” Kornmayer, who will take up his post at Anfield in the summer, replaces Dr Ryland Morgans, who ended a four-year stint at Liverpool last month. In other news Piotr Zielinski has confirmed he is in talks with Jurgen Klopp about a move to Anfield. Hmm...anyone here rate him ? I don't know anything about him.

Raja Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The Arsenal lap of honour is going to be quite awful this year - wouldn't be surprised if the rest of our home games are played in a fairly toxic environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse Named Stranger Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 On other news. Benfica gave Bayern an early scare. But Bayern was able to walk it off. In simple numbers 1-1. Barcelona has thus far not been able to walk it off. They are trailing and somehow struggling to get anything going thus far. Or in numbers Atletico 1 (Griezmann) Barcelona 0.

polishgenius Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Why do West Ham keep playing Emenike? He's rubbish. Anyway, good win. Big saves by De Gea at the end, typically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Impressed by Atletico today. Completely nullified Barcas attack. Griezmann is pure class. Hoping for City/Atleti and Madrid/Bayern in the semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Good night of football. LVG did not play players horribly out of position and we now have an FA Cup semi-final to look forward to. Atleti were well worth their win. They had the Barca front three under control and Iniesta should have been sent off. Absolutely love the Atleti grit and team ethic.

Gustavo Fringed Sleeves Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 What a bummer. That handball at the end was a penalty and the ultimate chance for extra time, but from overall performance Barça didn't deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Iniesta was the one who shot it and he should have been sent off for his handball so it evens out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a "manifest goal opportunity", or however the rule is worded in English, so the yellow card was appropriate. Anyway, Barcelona didn't deserve to go through, it's useless to argue about refereeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskaral Pust Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Who would have thought that Barca would run out of steam before Leicester? So it's Utd, Everton, Watford and Palace left in the FA Cup? Am I remembering correctly? That's four teams who are bang out of form in the league and probably anyone could win it from here. I have a feeling DDG will win it for Utd, unfortunately.
