Could have been worse...

but for Neuer the Strong. When I played GK that wrist flickback he did on CR7 would have broken my wrist.

Who decided to let Vidal take that PK? Was downhill from there.

A puncher's chance in Madrid, I still like Bayern if Lewa can play.


RM fan; I think Bayern wins and beats Atleti for the title

As you said, Neuer had a miraculous game and Madrid could have easily put in 3-4-5 against a lesser goalie, but he kept them alive. I'm glad Ramos & Nacho avoided cards as we literally have no CB's left, although I think our luck runs out and Lewa will strike back and take Bayern through 2-0 at the Bernabeu. Atleti got a great draw against a middling Lester (sic), it was great seeing Barca get throttled by Juventus, and my money is on Bayern edging Atleti for the cup.


Well, Thomas doesn't take the kicks now

After his struggles last year - but I would actually prefer Franck in that situation.

Vidal was Juve's #1 guy on penalties, same for Chile. Bad form I guess, or ball don't lie.

I'd put Thomas as #10, put Thiago back with Vidal in holding. Might even play Costa instead of Ribery. Wing play just lacked pace yesterday.


No way on Costa over Ribery

Not only Ribery was the option all 1st half and the reason for all those corners taken, Costa didn't even tap the needle when he came on. Granted, Bayern couldn't get out, but Costa looked out of his depth.


Costa came on and looked like he didn't care one bit

Starting to think he's checked out.


Hey, Boateng is now injured...

And thought we were really about to get screwed - because Javi was already off at that point. When nothing came out about it the next day, I figured it was fine. Guess not.


BTW, acc. to KHR

Lewy is good to go for next week.

Hummels may be good to go - fingers crossed on that one.
