Pep isn't quite so gr8 without Messi in his team

Not a massive fan of Pep but seen this line a lot and can't help but find it a crock of crap. If Messi was the key and not Pep then Barca would be defending their 7th straight CL.

They did so well as the one of the two best players in the world worked well with one of the best managers.

Ronaldo/Messi have won CL 6 out of last 8

Yes but Messi only has one whilst playing a non-Pep managed team. Of course, I'm sure the reverse argument here will be Pep has won none without Messi.

A penalty for me, and I can see why Buffon was sent off too. Oliver's standing in the game is growing and I think he got these decisions spot on. Juventus defenders comes through the back of him to reach the ball. And what a leap from Ronaldo to nod the ball back across the box.

Greed on all.

[genome]

Yeah, that was a penalty all day long.

Absolute cracking finish from Ronaldo under such pressure as well.

Not sure why there is a debate about the penalty to be honest, seemed fairly obvious. A lot of it must come down to an anti Real Madrid/Ronaldo agenda.

Shame for Buffon to lose it the way he did. I get him losing his rag on the pitch but he was being really offensive post match too. I expected better from him.

A Roma v Liverpool final would be the neutrals wet dream

I f#cking hate Liverpool. Would have loved City to have turned em over tonight.....but then the city players were c*nts trying to get Mane sent off. Ideal scenario. Madrid in the semis, and if that fails Munich in the final. I couldn't bare them to win it.

I hate all these teams, so this week has been excellent. It would have been fantastic tonight seeing Real Madrid lose, but it was even better seeing Juventus mess it up at the end with the help of an idiot referee. Hopefully Bayern Munich or Liverpool or Real can oxf*rd up badly or be cheated horribly in the Semis.

So much hate.
You ought to see somebody about it or such hate might kill you.

Europa League semi

Arsenal v Atletico Madrid
Marseille v RB Salzburg

CL Semi

Bayern Munich v Real Madrid
Liverpool v Roma

[Sanguine]

Liverpool v Roma
Bayern Munich v Real Madrid

Not a good/bad draw to be had imho, any tie tough. Liverpool would have preferred a second leg at Anfield, but they'll take a tie against a Roma side that can be inconsistent.

[genome]

I like that draw. We'll have an un-fancied side in the final which is good.
