You are selling RM short. They'll probably get the late equalizer and win it in ET. You guys are athletic enough to contend with Barca plus you could have a lot of time to get Modric back healthy.

I don't know, MSN vs that defense is a scary prospect. Probably would be a 3-1 loss. I see Juve losing 3-0 or 4-1.

Buffon has never won it? Didn't know that! Happy for my boy Evra to be in another final. Hope he goes all the way.

Everytime I watch Bale he hits everything but the target.

Re: 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League Thread

Bale was actually one of the better RM players that game, looked like the only player besides Marcelo that actually wanted to win.

He will get blamed for the loss because the media doesn't have the balls to go after Ronaldo.

He put himself in dangerous positions but he failed to capitalize on his chances. That goes for all of the Madrid attackers. They had numerous chances to get that 2nd goal. We'll see how much patience RM has with Ancelotti after losing out on the league and now getting the boot in the CL.

I personally think he's the right man for that job.

It depends what Perez wants. Ancelotti has a phenomenal track record in Europe, but never consistently wins league titles.

Ancelotti to Man City, and Zidane takes over. It's not like they're gonna be able to beat Barca next year anyway.

Absolutely love Ancelotti, you won't find many better managers than him out there. I'd love to have either him or Pep at Arsenal. Can't blame the loss on Carlo, RM had enough chances but ultimately it's up to the players to finish them. Would love to see Vidal and Pogba hold the trophy up high.

This would make the most sense of all, but is Zidane ready for the 1st squad?

Re: 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League Thread

There's no way I would entrust a squad like RM to a manager with very little experience. Ancelotti is the right man for that job because winning at RM isn't enough, you need to win with style. They just need to strengthen a few areas, mainly their bench. Having no reliable backup to Modric really hurt them, especially with Khedeira being out almost all year. Illa really isn't RM quality and the jump from Cruzeiro to RM is way too much to ask of Lucas Silva in Yr1. If Barca win the treble I'm sure RM will splurge. Hopefully they snatch up Da Gea.

I bet Real are regretting selling Morata to Juve now.

Re: 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League Thread

On a side note, because UEFA is an incompetent meddling Organization Real Madrid will be a #2 seed next year assuming Barca wins La Liga.

Thank you Juve for saving us from another contest to see who can surround the referee more.
