Looking forward to tomorrow's Derbi madrileño in the Champions League. Hala Madrid!

[Megatron1505]

Pellegrini will be there until the end of the season, got a feeling that City might make a push for Guardiola in the off season.

Nice to see things continue running to form at Newcastle…...I hate that (my) club 

[Dion]

Jürgen Klopp is leaving Dortmund at the end of this season. Is he going to be Pellegrini's successor?

Bayern got a nice package from Porto. Great. Here in Berlin, we love to hate them. Will celebrate if they really are kicked out after game two…  ::)

Last night's Champions League games were a fucking disaster haha.. Hoping Wolfsburg will beat Napoli tonight, even though EL isn't as exciting.

Goddamnit..

[Winchy]

The Madrid derby was pretty bloody disastrous last night too….all that talent on the pitch and nothing but diving, playacting and complaining.

[Peter]

Really? I found it entertaining. Doesn't hurt that I'm a Real fan though..

[Dion]

There are matches way worse to watch but I like Real as well :). Looking forward to the HF-draw tomorrow.

The diving and play acting and wielding of imaginary cards to try and get players booked/sent off gets tiresome when it seems just as important to most of the players as playing high quality footy.

As Real fans do you have any preference for S/F draw?

[FurattoHeddo]

I'd say anyone but Barça…

[Peter]

The upcoming draw tomorrow is a tough one. I also happen to like Bayern, I dislike Juve and really hate Barca. In the best of worlds Real would win against Barca in the finals, at the same time I think it's a bit boring when teams from the same league face each other.

But I guess Bayern vs. Barca would be fun, considering Pep would meet his old team.

Real vs. Juve
Bayern vs. Barca

If everything comes together that is, haha..

Barcelona's players are even worse, esp. when their team is not winning. I'm glad for every team that wins the CL this year as long as it's not Barca ;D.

@Peter:

Agreed. For me the appeal of the CL is to see differing styles go up against each other, although it is unavoidable that there will be some draws from the Q/F stage and onwards where two teams from the same league are matched up. That batch of Liverpool v Chelsea ties a few years back got very tedious.

I'm not too fussed who wins but just wanna see 5 matches of open, attacking football with less of the diving.

[Peter]

I'm super psychic!

Real vs. Juve
Bayern vs. Barca

[Dion]

Same here. Although I'll love to see the Bayern kicking Barca's ass out I don't want them to lose in the final to Real. Just in case, more than ever I don't want Real to lose a final, too.

[501IH]

Well, Bayern are out of the German Cup, after a dismal show in penalties against Dortmund. No triple this year, guys…

[NorthernVictory]

I can't wait until Barca vs. Bayern.

The time for revenge is nigh.

[Finn666]

since i fecking hate bayern, i was happy as f… after the game. especially the way they lost it, hahahaha priceless

[Finkster]

F.C. Bayern München - Fuck off!   

[Dion]

I don't understand this (unfounded) hate towards Bayern. Maybe it's sorta lifetyle-thing to hate on what others hate?

FCB deserved to win yesterday but had bad luck with the ref and esp. at the penalty shootout.
