    Hope Mourinho drops Lukaku tonight and gives Martial or Rashford a chance up front.

    Re-read it again m8, I'm not talking about how they happen (thank you for giving a sensible answer tho--a quick look at some xG/xC charts & heatmaps this season across some games supports this)

    I'm referring to Referees under pressure to make calls that in other games would be 50-50 to benefit the big teams; we're all very much guilty of it.

    I really hope Arsenal win the Europa League. I have bet like 1.5k for us to win. Would be a good finish for Wenger too.

    Nerve-racking win, Bayern left to rue their chances they missed today. Jupp's hand was forced too when those 1st half injuries happen but we hung in well and survived their intense press in the beginning--there is a trend that teams keep trying the high press, sure we suffer, but it hampers them more since we withstand the intensity and then punish them for it. Ribery rolled back the years & James was pulling strings nicely, we should have done better at controlling the midfield (think it had to do with us being more compact/rigid and they moved their lines better than we did in the 1st half).

    Very clinical in the few times we created clear chances, gotta do better than this I can do without another Juventus comeback.

    One of the best days of my life, my native Club from Mexico, Chivas Guadalajara, just won the Concacaf Champions League! Can't describe this feeling, not since Real won La Decima :kdotcry:

    We were lucky that Lewy didn't perform at his best and Ribery couldn't finish to save his life. Carvajal was having problems with defending and penalth should be given for Bayern on Lewandowski in 46' minute.

    s--- is unreal, the road to this final probably took away years from my life, just when I thought the last game vs Juve was apocalyptic this one was just something else. Regardless of whatever happens in Kiev, this is history.

    Indeed it is. This is absolutely mental. In this era of football, 3 consecutive CL finals and the 4th in 5 years! Real Madrid are hacking this competition. Real Madrid weren't their best, and Bayer were much better, but RM still managed to make it through. That says a lot about the personality & strength of the team. Whoever comes in the final, if Real Madrid were on their day, you know the rest. They're unstoppable. Wow.

    @Guma @Fire Squad btw, you guys do know that a big proportion of football fans are actually sick by now of watching RM making it into yet another final right? Real Madrid against the world. This team has and still is going against all odds. I love this team.

    (el clasico is this sunday btw even though it's not going to be as exciting)

    It's been an amazing time, makes up for those years we constantly got knocked out in the Round of 16s for like 5-6 years straights. The fact we've been so consistent getting to the semifinals this decade is incredible, I'm glad people don't want us to win, makes it all the more enjoyable :jordanlaff:
