Re: Champions League 2012-2013

I was watching Real-ManC live yesterday and literally fell asleep around the 55th minute. So I missed all the goals. :(

Re: Champions League 2012-2013

What an amazing match it was. 5 goals in last 23 minutes. Real came from behind but ManCity was brilliant too.

One of the best CL matches in recent memory. thoroughly enjoyed it.

Supporting Real Madrid Cz of Ronaldo and Kaka

:mad:

Re: Champions League 2012-2013

Yay! They won in the end. :hula:

Re: Champions League 2012-2013

Barca 2 Real Madrid 2 it was like Messi vs Ronaldo lol

Was it CL or La Liga

Re: Champions League 2012-2013

Great to see Ajax comprehensively beat Man City!!! :hula:

Interesting prospects in this group:

BVB 7 pts
RM 6 pts
Ajax 3 pts
ManC 1 pt

My expectations for remaining matches:
RM wins from Ajax
RM draws with BVB
ManC wins from Ajax
BVB wins with Ajax

This will leave ManC needing to win from RM by two goals to qualify (and also win from BVB) which I think is unlikely.

Re: Champions League 2012-2013

^ I still believe Real will top this group. And BVB to be the second team to qualify. ManCity have only themselves to blame after imploding both against Real and Ajax.

Re: Champions League 2012-2013

Honestly, I don't understand Mancini switching to a 3-5-2 in these games. I mean, clearly the backline isn't comfortable/not suited for it.

I too think Real will top the group, but wouldn't be surprised if Dortmund does, it's an amazing team especially when you consider the players talent that's left (Sahin, Kagawa). Reus is so boss.

Re: Champions League 2012-2013

City folding in the cl is pretty hilarious to watch

Re: Champions League 2012-2013

35 goals in yesterday’s matches! Wow!

The biggest surprise was of course Celtic’s win against Barcelona. Barca was dominating most of the match but still couldn’t convert their chances. And Celtic converted 2 out of the 3 they had.

Chelsea JUST survived for now.

Bayern swept away Lille. They were expected to win but the margin of victory is still surprising. They scored the first 5 goals within 34 minutes. :eek:

Barca is overrated

Re: Champions League 2012-2013

^I mean, you have to realize that it's a pretty weakened Barca team. Mostly by their own doing though.

Re: Champions League 2012-2013

Well done Celtic! :clap:

Re: Champions League 2012-2013

It pretty much came down to the brilliance of their goalkeeper. And a loooooooooooooot of luck.

Re: Champions League 2012-2013
