Kwani these guys don't practice taking penalties. Ama ilikuwa tension. Hiyo ya Sergio Ramos was the strangest, they call it row Z?

Bayern Vs Chelsea, my money on Bayern. Chelsea have too many players suspended / injured and Bayern wako nyumbani and are technically quite good.

Is the La Liga supremacy myth now laid to rest???

I'll agree with Mourinho's sentiments that an El Clasico sandwiched between both CL semis cost both Madrid and Barca. Chelsea made 8 changes to the team that beat Barca at The Bridge to draw with Arsenal while Bayern rested virtually their whole squad when they played and won over the weekend, knowing that a win for Dortmund would guarantee them the Bundesliga title, which they did. The laws of basic science cannot be discounted, Madrid and Barca were drained physically and mentally after El Clasico.

I always knew Bayern would score at Madrid and after Rela going 2 nil up in 14 min, Bayern picked their tempo and Gomez and Robben were particularly wasteful infront of goal - heck, even Casillas almost saved Robbens pena that got them back into the game!

Clearly Mourinho thought he'd win in regular time and saw no need for his players to practice penalties like most teams do when the reach semis of continental competitions e.g. World Cup, Euros, AFCO,Copa America etc. Most of those semis are decide by penas and guys practice for them. Ofcourse Neuer was good but when people like Ramos take penas, you know there's something wrong.

@Marty, Bayern will be without Alaba, Badstuber and Gustavo, all key players, so both teams will be weakened. I also agree with Jupp, yellows should fall off at the finals, even at the risk of players playing badly during semis. Can you imagine a Barca Real final without Messi and CR7 because they picked up silly suspenisons for minor infringements?No!

I think Bayern have enough to trouble Chelsea who I think will miss Ramirez badly. Robben, Ribery and Gomez are a nightmare to many defenses (and Chelsea will not be playing excessive defending like they did against Barca since this is a final) and with the fans behind Bayern, they should win it. Football, ofcourse, is stranger than fiction.

Excuses, excuses....
They are professional footballers and should have planned better.
Chelsea did. Anyway, you could be right as Bayern and Chelsea's fate at home are sealed and have nothing much to play for unlike Real and Barca.

The only good thing is The Special One will not leave Real because he hasn't achieved the Champion's League... as for Pep I think it's time to leave.

THIS IS THE UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.
Bayern will be crowned champions on the 19th May at Munich stadium.

I still believe La Liga is stronger than the other European leagues as of now. Two teams in Champions semis and three teams in Eurpoa semis says something about. Thats a total of 5 teams in a semis of 8.
Don't take anything from La Liga.
Their matches have flair than in EPL where its hoof and run most of the time save for Swansea this season and Arsenal.
EPL just happens to be well marketed.

Of course you know that Bayern supporters cannot get over 50% of the tickets. I don't know how they check but the rules say that the finals venue and host must assume a neutral stand.

And England have three teams in the top six...

@redondo, your answer should on the coefficients link!!!.....they are based on actual matches played over the past 5 years, not on hypothesis the way you wanna put it!!!

bilbao bamboozling manu is no hypothesis. and i have good reason to believe that in the coming years we will see more of that stuff from la liga teams. Lets wait and see
