    Bayern needs to win 6x2 now right? (Only needed 4x0 when it started and it started well for them).

    Well, if any team could win lopsided games when needed it was Bayern, but it looks like that won't be happening this time around.

    I would have given them a chance if they were healthy. But with this squad against a team like Barca, it's impossible. This situation isn't for Pep....

    Pep should of never played that ridiculous high line once his squad was depleted with injury. Nothing wrong with sitting deep.

    He only knows how to play one way. He doesn't adapt to situations like this very well. But don't tell celito I said that. :p

    Funny how Neymar finishing has blossomed in a year. I hope to see the same progression in his passing ability.

    Rule of thumb: if the "first name" ends with "inha" or "inho", it's a Brazilian .... unless you're Gervinho. :ROFLMAO:

    Much better than last year where he choked too many opportunities away. But honestly, he has been given chances on a platter all year long. Those are nothing more than obligation.

    I think Mengao have been saving up all his ammo for Alves for a couple of weeks now maybe even months. Alves wasn't given him a chance considering he actually been good for most of the 2nd half of the seasons. He was expecting Alves to be dire against Bayern as they have weapons that can exposed Alves but the goat RB had other plans. His last resort will the CL final.

    Alves lucked out that he didn't have Alaba and Ribery terrorizing him. Vs PSG, Ibra's red reduced his suffering and in the return leg, Barca just beat on a dead horse.

    It takes world class players like Alaba and Ribery to make a mockery of Alves ? I would have thought he was a lot worse !!! :D

    Whoa, whoa, whoa, pump the brakes. It's been more like a third of a season, if that. He started to play respectably sometime in March; it was around the Madrid game. Till that point, it's been a season full of yellow cards, poor defense and bad crosses. He's more than doubled his assists in this two month span.

    If RM makes the final, and CA has the balls to put Bale on the left, he'd probably scorch Alves in the right situations.

    I'm still thinking about it. But if we win the CL next year.........you're definitely getting one @Mengão86, with the CL patches on it, too!
