the first leg is also tonight, barcelona game isn't till tomorrow
bayern at home are probably going to hope to not concede an away goal, though I'm not sure how realistic that is |
Yes, I agree, whilst Chelsea v Barca is probably 15% v 85%
Madrid v Bayern is probably 60% v 40% chance imo
Jose sometimes plays these ties in a weird way and looks at 0-0 as a good result, tonight will be fascinating, and I expect a tight, low scoring game, wouldn't be that surprised if Bayern nicked an away goal |

Of course they are...that changes things then, I make Madrid strong favourites then
Expect a score draw tonight, Madrid to win second leg |

I think this could end up as a bit of a goal fest. Bayern know that they have to win this leg to stand any chance and Madrid are going to be all over them on the counter. Neither team is in particularly good form and can't defend to save their lives... |

Martin Atkinson is one of the 5 officials tonight (in the box), so it will be his job to decide if it has crossed the line  |

Nah I missed the build up, so only saw his mug when the ball went to his end.
Nicely balanced tie this and a quality return leg in store. Thought it was a good game. |

Very good game of football
Some free-flowing stuff from both sides
Madrid just to edge the 2nd leg for me |

I'm edging towards Bayern for the final, I think with Ribery & Robben, they will be able to catch Madrid on the break and get a couple of goals themselves.
Above 2.5 goals sounds good again. |
