Bayern and Real will be kept apart, that's for sure.
Anyone who thinks Leicester will struggle in the CL, I give you Atletico Madrid.

They are carbon copies, only Atletico have better players. But it's "put everyone in our own 18 yard box, and just smash it up field. Eventually we'll get a decent chance". It's bloody awful to watch, but annoyingly it's working.

That would do fine, and a dream scenario is possible. Image this! City finish 5th in the league but reach the CL final, and get beaten by Bayern. Pep making EL for himself! How about that!

Them or Bayern. Don't want Emirates Marketing Project or Real to win it.

They have world class players though.

They're a bit more attack minded than Leicester.

That's got to be very marginally! Not much attacking going on yesterday. Even though they were the ones that had to score, they were quite reluctant to go forward, except for when Barca exposed themselves.

That draw opens up the chance of 2 other decent scenarioes
Obviously the 'dream' final Bayern v Real
or even the chance of the all-Madrid final

There would something appealing about Pellegrini beating Pep in the final (the dreaam final for the British press), although the semi would do and leave the way for Atletico in the final.

Atletico's squad are far better than Leicester's
I was delighted to see smug Barcelona come unstuck but Atleti are a little too Nottingham Forest for my taste, and even more so this year. I hope Bayern or City win it!

Isn't that how teams not called Bayern or Real should play against Barca?

I don't think UEFA would want another all-Madrid final; it's why i think it's a certainty that we'll get an all-Madrid semi-final and the Pep derby..

Could you please elaborate on this? Didn't see Forest win the European Cup so i want to know what you mean here...
...also (apologies i may have asked before but want more detail lol) but how would you compare Atletico under Simeone to Chelski and Inter under Mourinho in terms of tactical approach, method and style?
Jurgen the German
Erik Thorstvedt
I'd rather have the first option. We've had an all Madrid final already.

Real have won enough trophies for their spoilt, fascist fans. I hold no ill will towards Modric or Bale but I really don't care what they win as they don't play for us anymore.

Forest games in Europe are filed in my memory under 'tight affairs' which to be honest most games with English team involved did at the time. I enjoyed this back in the day mind!
Mourinho is still the best manager I have seen when it comes to marshalling a maybe slightly inferior squad into a winning one. Simone is good but not as good as Jose at his best. He went to City when they were in their pomp 2014 I think and got a 1-1 - Jose that night was tactically brilliant, a master class for me.
Simone last was extremely fortunate and was sailing a little to close the wind.
I like my football more open than last nights Atletico's attack vs defence offering. Klopps' Dortmund was my idea of football at its most entertaining and partially why I love this current Spurs incarnation.
Tuchel will go far in club football I think.

There is a case for hoping the stay happy at Real and this requires them to be successful. I'd hate to see either return to England with any of the clubs who can afford them.
