Champion's League 2011-2012

Gooners gave it a go, much to everyone's surprise. Van Persie alone gives them a chance no matter how big the hole. Milan may do some business now that they're through. ZI is one ugly dude, though.

 

How long does RVP stay? Probably till the summer in my opinion.

 

Five goals.

 

I seriously do not think Messi is human.

 

He's not. He's an alien under surveillance by MIB. In the next movie, he'll be up on that big video board in HQ with Stallone, Roker and Hoda, who, I'm also convinced, is an alien.

 

No amount of superlatives for Messi seem enough at the moment.

APEOL!! Hard to fathom that a team from the Cypress First Division is now in the Final 8.

 

Favorite stat heard was Apoel's payroll is 13.5 million or roughly 145th of Real Madrid's. Sadly, the clock has struck midnight and the carriage has turned back into a pumpkin. They held RM at 0-0 until the 74th at which point the floodgates opened and the whining Ronaldo's won 3-0. Amazing journey from the tiny club and the best storyline of the CL :clap:

 

Milan was the first to hold Barca to a clean sheet in 30 CL matches. 0-0 headed to the Nou Camp - not exactly gravy for Milan, but an away goal can be a monkeywrench in the process.

 

bayern looks to be headed to the semis after their 2-nil beating of olympique marseille (great club name).

 

The Semis are set:
Chelsea v. Barcelona
Real Madrid v. Bayern Munchen

I'm going to go out on a limb and pick an all Spanish final.

Also, I'm shocked to see so many small clubs in the semis... :whistle:

 

First leg goes to Bayern 2-1 on a late winner from Gomez. Would have to give the advantage to the whining Mourinho's because of the away goal, but not by much.

 

Messi with a PK choke job off the crossbar! Watching Drogba flop and roll around is brutal. No way the Undead can hang on for 30 more minutes or can they? 73rd minute

 

Holy #@$%!!! Well that sucks, but you have to give them credit for getting it done.

 

Wow.
