Champions League semi finals

Big matches this week

Chelsea travel to Madrid to take on Athletico Madrid who maybe without their best player Diego Costa. Chelsea will play for a draw and they hope it to be a 1-1. Chelsea somehow turn it on in the Champions League and over the two legs I think that they will come out on top

Real Madrid v Bayern Munich on Wednesday

This unfortunately is not the final as they have been the best two sides in this years completion. Real will score, although Ronaldo is a doubt, and Bayern will have most of the ball possession and I think that Madrid will sneak this 2-1

Atletico madrid have a very good defence, both legs will be seperated by one goal, atletico to progress and set up a final against real madrid.

Spot on Greg - you read my mind (tu)

I agree atletico will be too strong for chelsea and will go on to lift the cup!!

Atletico vs Bayern final

Look for Chelsea to push for a early away goal and then to park the bus on the 18 yard box...Athletico players not as tall compared to Chelsea so expect Chelsea to pack the central areas, push Athletico wide and handle the crosses with ease...

Chelsea may not be the best team in the competition but they set up very well for the Champions League...I am not a Mourinho fan but one has to credit him as a manager that can make the most of the resources available and get the absolute most out of his players...they will not raise a white flag...

I would like to see Mourinho pick a fight with Simone. Only one winner and he will not be the one from Portugal

that should have been a penalty to Atletico as Luiz shoved the Atletico player into the Chelsea keeper

(tu) Agreed...Simeone was a tough as nails defensive midfielder so Mourinho against him will be a mismatch of OP / Gerrie Nel proportions !!!

Can Barca sign new players ?? Read about some moratorium...

Luiz and Ramires...Brazilians that seem to like the colour yellow so much that they like to see the referee produce it !!
