Juve deserved to reach the final and they did. Real wasn't in form good enough to kick them out, neither to defeat Barca in the league title race. Get over it.
Is there any team in the world that respects RM and their fans? I mean, I am Barca supporter of course I hate RM, but it seems nobody respects the spoiled king's children and their "10 Champions League trophies". I wonder why. In my opinion, Cristiano sums it up pretty well. Cheating, diving, fake stats, no magic, no creation, selfish, arrogant. And Pirlo for Juve. Class, modesty, calmness, tradition, passion, unselfishness..
So: Ronaldo scored another penalty and WAS useless as ever. The penalty, of course, was awarded after a dive. Seriously? Somebody has to change this. That was NO PENALTY. It could have changed the game. Terrible
@abdo_12
Of course there was contact, but watch HOW he falls down. It's a penalty if you REALLY try hard to make one. Don't make me laugh. If that's a penalty, the rules should be changed. For me, it seems like refs can't wait to call some "creative decisions", and by that I mean penalties. No wonder players like to dive.
Ancelotti out. he has not brought tactics into the team. the fact that he doesnt rotate means our squad was stretched thin the whole season. whats the use of having record number of consecutive wins if there is no silverware at the end?
I was never a fan of any of the two teams today, and never think it is , but I like the way to address this semi by juve . Will be a great final , it reminds me of what was said in the Euro 88: the best defense against the best attack , usually wins the second , but this will look in the game.
Thing is, I'm convinced Juve can play better. PIrlo's passing was so strangely poor. Theoretically he won't be as energetically charged down by Iniesta or Rakitic in the final, and may have more time. But he's often charged down and usually handles it better, except for one Park Ji-sung. Agree that Pogba's rating seems high, though he put in some good tackles and did well for the goal. Vidal was better. Pogba will be in better shape in Berlin. But another fine performance all round and really exciting.
@dSquib I agree, but we shouldn't neglect Pirlo's impact however many bad passes he did, he did some dribbles and extremely long, cruicial passes, especially powerful medium-ranged ground balls right in the centre to Tévez and Morata that opened the play, and was brilliant as ever reading the play, closing down spaces. He can do better, but had impact.
Who should be blamed for Real Madrid poor season. Is it Christiano Ronaldo or Carlo Ancelloti? Cr7 should be blamed half as equal to Carlo Ancelloti. Cr7 your pride your mean attitude has humiliated you. All your goals,efforts and time spent in training hasn't been of effective use to REal Madrid fraternity. 67% of your goals wouldn't result to your team winning a match .67% of your goals were sometimes hatricks . Doubles and penalties that are non essential. Real Madrid without you they could only be 30 points adrift. Cr7 your mean attitude to step up and assist . Inability for you to fight for your team has costed you the Balon de 'Or . The inability for the coach to rotate the team has costed him his Objectives at Real Madrid. To reach the Uefa Final and win the league title and Copa de relay. His Job is under Scrutiny . The failure of Real Madrid was mostly Cr7 and CA . There is nobody to blame. Blame those 2
@njamimaranga you are talking about a guy who has the second most assissts in la liga this season. Great analysis ... seems you have an IQ of a chicken.
@aeliveon
As usual, RM fan deluded by numbers. He is also a top scorer. And just watch his assists please. You very well know what is njamimaranga talking about. Ronaldo is not very useful for his team. That's the truth
Hopefully they will realize Bale should play on the left, Illaramendi should play as defensive midfielder, Ramos should play as center back, Ronaldo should not play as number 9, rotation is needed if you want to win silverware, either Navas should start or another goalkeeper should be bought, only Arbeloa and Khedira should be allowed to leave while Danilo is already bought, Chicharito should be loaned in for 1 more year, Ancelotti should stay.
@Turan Ancelotti out. he has not brought tactics into the team. the fact that he doesnt rotate means our squad was stretched thin the whole season. whats the use of having record number of consecutive wins if there is no silverware at the end?
@Turan Props on Illarramendi tip. Disagree on some other aspects.
Cassilas is fine. Arbeloa is a great sub, doesn't last a full 90 tho. Carvajal has dipped lately. Chicharito out because he's easily replaceable.
Keep Ancelotti.
Don't know how Pogba got such a high rating, was probably one of the worst Juve players, though he did just come back from injury. Bale on the other hand had no excuse to play as he did. That foul throw from Casillas gave me a good laugh as did the RM ballboy not giving it to Evra. Great match though and in the end, Juve were the better team and are deseved finalists. Barca v. Juve June 6, I can not wait!!!
Thank god it wont be a "Clasico" final. Apart from the pretentious name, we'd have the media sucking off La Liga with 2 all-Spanish finals in a row (even though hardly anything was said outside of England about the prem having a finalist every season bar one for 8 seasons including 3 winners and 1 all-prem final...) not to mention the cheat-a-thon that would be Ronaldo, Ramos, Bale and Pepe vs Neymar, Busquets, Alves and Mascherano in the perennial diving and dirty fouls contest. 120 minutes of that? No thanks. Forza Juve! Going to get some vertical black stripes tattooed on my face now.
@blitz- Er actually foreigners brought diving to the prem and it is particularly endemic in Spainish football. For those old enough to remember pre and post football immigration in this country, it's obvious.
@SteveHyland
The players who exaggerate in Barcelona: Alba, Mascherano. Players who dive in Barcelona: Pedro, Suarez and Neymar used to do it (tell me how many penalties was Barca awarded after dives?) Alves "dived" once when Pepe tried to murder him and Busquets ONCE when he infamously "peaked" from the ground. Just tell me ONE MORE time he dived? ONE MORE?
Real Madrid, on the other hand, gets a penalty by diving every other match including the semi final match. Ronaldo is THE diver of the world of football.
@blitz- Oh so you're a Barca fan? No wonder it's impossible for you to see how much of a joke your team is when it comes to cheating. You also don't seem to realise just because you aren't awarded a free-kick or penalty from a dive, it doesn't mean it wasn't a dive in the first place. I don't disagree Ronaldo is the biggest diver in world football, closely followed by Ribery, but Barcelona are regarded as a team of play-actors across the world, are you telling me everybody apart from Barcelona fans have that wrong?
@dSquib- Ha, well after the Swansea and Chelsea games, it seems the issues in Wenger's game-plan which I thought (hoped) were gone are actually still very much present. I stand by my comment and opinion we have better personnel than Juve though- but then so do Real.
Juve's manager is brilliant comparing to the foolish one in madrid,a wonderful tactical mind what's worth to be observed is his great confidence,,,#RESPECT
1 CL final in 13 years sums up Real Madrid as a football club.
They've spent absolute loads yet couldn't buy the success to save their lives.
When you think Liverpool(which people laugh at) and Chelsea(which are accused for only coming into existence from 2004) have had more....
are those spoiled madrid fans gone? hahaha pathetic.. show ur faces now even when you lose. they aint.. they all like CR7.. i i i i i i i. thats the mentality by madrid. i i i i i. its all about i i i i i
very disrespectful by madrid spoiled fans.. saying 3-0 4-0 before the match. don't forget history u spoiled kids. look at ur little kid cr7. so this is it? is this the great madrid? LOL. its nothing! its a team with, i i i i i. madrid have never a easy task against mighty juve. we have respect for barca in the final. we know its a mission impossible, the only thing we can do is fight as team as we always do. FORZA JUVE!
@Roorck- Many of WhoScored's predictions are correct. Even if.when they get a score wrong, it's only by the odd goal. Can't remember many where they have got the result wrong. We'll probably see the staff driving around in Astons having put a tenner on every result! Ha
Pogba MoTM? Come on... Morata, Vidal, Buffon but him? He was quite awful.
That one assist, that's all he did.
PS
I see Marcelo is getting MoTM, even more ridiculous.
I'd have to say this yet again, Whoscored had RM, Barca, Juve and Bayern as their cover photo for their UCL page all year long with Barca and Juve being at the middle.. They've predicted this all along.. :3
@HellKitchen Chelleni caused a penalty .... actually Juve's defense was pretty aweful in the first half of the game but Madrid didn't take the chances.
@aeliveon Are you high? How can you say their defence was awful. Bonucci did one or two mistakes, his performances was around decent. But for his mistakes, Chiello cleaned up, mashed Ronaldo and read the play with brilliance, such resillience and aerial dominance.
@NotBiased- Didn't see your comment initially but I posted something almost exactly the same. You forgot the part where we'd also have to endure Platini having a shyte-eating grin on his fat face safe in the knowledge that whoever he has to hand the trophy, it won't be to an English team.
@aeliveon Don`t get it. Bayern lost one semi against Real and one game against Barca,so?
Usually those clubs never stood a chance against Bayern in the last 10 years, both of them.Their history against them is horrifying. Even in the shape of the game in Barcelona,Bayern would have easily won against either Real or Juve...
@NotBiased He came up through the ranks of Real Madrid, he played for their youth team and their B team. He's been in that club for 6 years and it's pretty clear that Real was his childhood dream. Now, I'm a Barcelona fan, so I don't really feel much love for Morata (although I respect his footballing prowess), but give the guy a break. David Villa spent like 4 years in Real Gijon and he didn't celebrate when he scored against them. Nobody cared. Why is there a fuss about this?
@abright70 I actually find this "respect" bit ridiculous. You should celebrate the goal you've just scored. Your former team is not paying so it doesn't matter its who you are playing for that matters.
Just a half hearted celebration to appease your current fans is much better than the "oh look at me I'm not celebrating" bit. And its not that you've spent two decades at your former club to have any kind of attraction.
@NotBiased
You wouldn't understand.. When you do that crap, you are inviting enemies. And he is also a Spaniard. Why would he make enemy with the spanish?
@NotBiased Yes its a bit ridiculous knocking out the club that made you in to the person you are today and being happy. He's respecting all that RM have done for him and his career.
Yeah in spite that touch it was not a clear penalty. Anyway, Juve reached to the SF thanks to an non-existent penatly also (the foul was outside the penalty area and Morata just dived).
Yeah not a clear penalty despite Chiellini touched James.Anyway, also Juve reached to this instance with an non-existent penalty( it was a foul outside the area), so things are evened.
Its funny how these Barca dummies are denying what was an absolute penalty and brilliantly executed by Ronaldo! Juventus are playing with a lot of intensity but Madrid need to extend the tempo of the game after the halftime like they did vs Valencia to win the game!
@rahul.subliminal Its always those "barca dummies" eh??
What if more than half of the individuals here are neutrals?
It was a soft penalty it is up for debate whether it should have been given or not. At the end of the day it wasn't the worst penalty ever given but doesn't mean it wasn't controversial.
@aeliveon Except that it clearly was. Then again Real Madrid always get decisions like these and even more when you think they have their fans audacity to complain about others getting soft decisions.
Real Madrid ruin the image of football world wide. People who don't watch a lot of football probably think football is all about diving and acting like you've been shot if you get kicked in your shin. Real pathetic if you ask me.
It's like 80% of this entire website consists of Barcelona fans who don't know the rules. Apparently being kicked is now legal and not considered a foul...
@MaltheKL Stop acknowledging their existence, you're just wanting them to respond to you. My best friends are Barca fans, they have lives so they won't be saying those kinds of things.
Benzema was the missing piece all along. I think Ronaldo can play as a striker and do it well but hes always been a wing player. I feel as though if we don't come in the 2nd half exactly like we did the first then it will be Barca all over the again. I don't have my hopes up as breaching Juve's defense is already a tough task but getting past Buffon is just as hard.
@super.dave So comes down to 3 options. Since I do't understand what you've wrote.
1. If you mean that you agree with me , Cheers!
2. If you disagree , I'd love to have a debate.
3. If it is insulting , then thank you for reminding us that our lives are not as empty and sad as yours.
You get the benefit in each of the three.
@Lechiffre10 At every other "proper" club the ballboy/fans are more concerned with praising and signing for their teams than doing a moronic time wasting act.
This sort of attitude clearly comes from the club.
@Lechiffre10 Except that other clubs let their fans sing and make noise after a goal/winning moment. You must must be deaf or lack brain cells if you've heard the music so loud and clear at every stadium on earth. Unfortunately for you judging by the latter part of your post I wouldn't put it past you.
@NotBiased lol what the hell are you talking about with fans and singing. I'm telling you the ball boy incident happens everywhere; It happened with atle madrid, Chelsea even with Barcelona.
@Lechiffre10 It all comes down to the club. Real Madrid would have obviously told their ballboys to waste as much time as possible under such circumstances and they are doing so. Or else under normal conditions a fan would rather want his team to put the tie to bed than hang around.
YOu've only mentioned three clubs. Not at every stadium.
@Lechiffre10 If you could give me the list of incidents like these on all stadiums then I'll be convinced. You made the initial point so good luck proving that.
LOL at that music..You've got over thousands of fans in the stadium but you'd rather play the music than let them cheer at possibly the winning goal of the Cl semi final.
No wonder people think Real Madrid are a joke of a club.
@aeliveon Its sad what modern football has come down to. A decade ago it would never be a penalty but now its a new trend. I think that in this case you should always give the defender the benefit of the doubt.
Am sorry to all Madrid fans. But the journey after la decima is almost impossible. The reasons for a lack of silverware its lack of squad depth. The same players every tournament. They're human. They tear and get worn out. Almost over 80% of Madrid players are playing with injuries . Look the last 3 games how they've succumbed to defeat. Your attack cant compesate your defense anymore. Juventus is a team that plays with Stamina(mental and physical effort). Madrid come to this game with their motivation tank below 20%.Juventus squad is almost fit beside Pogba who returns from Injury. A bet my dime on Juventus. Real 1-2 Juventus. Its time Madrid enters the market stop buying spoiled low grade Oranges and buy one thriving force of a Lemon
Juve have the better players. cr7 have is own pride and dont think about the team, i i i i, want to score. bale the same, benzema not match fit, modric out. bad evening for spoiled madrid.
The bad thing for Real Madrid about Pogba playing is that he can score and create chances, he holds the ball very well and brings it forward excellently. The good thing for Real Madrid about Pogba playing is that he doesn't defend and work as hard as the player he is replacing in midfield so it will open up more space to exploit going forward.
@Tyrion_Lannister baring in mind his age he is bound to be in the top 5 best midfielders.he is nearly complete as he can play well in the defense and has what it takes to change the outcome of the game himself. He had his better and worse moments this season. He should however shine here being well supported by his teammates
@Tyrion_Lannister He is really really good. He is excellent at bringing the ball forward and holding it, his shooting is good, he is very strong and skillful. His marking can improve and perhaps he can improve on his passing aswell. Basically he has the potential for big things but at the moment he doesn't have as many goals or assists as he would like so he needs to work hard in training.
@MessyLion nope i was trembling and hypothermic as well as it has never happened in an century. But real have a big task at night to take care of if they wish to make a history. Hope luck is on their side this time around
All Juventus need to do is defend well. I wouldn't put it past them to progress. Madrid will hope Benzema is back, because he does so much to make Ronaldo look good, and because Ronaldo is rubbish as a CF.
Juve needs an away goal but they can't afford opening up in order to get it, so today it's all about counters to them. I believe they will get it eventually, and that means Real needs to score at least two. With Italian defence it shouldn't get any highter than that. This is why I see this game going into ET.
This will be one of the best games of the season! Juve did well in the first leg but had their share of problems when Real pressed harder. This game will suit Juve. With Pogba back, The old lady currently have the best midfield from the teams left In CL. Their defense is strong and solid. Real struggled against Atletico in both games and now having to face a tougher opponent they do not look that great. Real have a very weak defense with Iker making plenty of horrible mistakes in the first leg. Their midfield will also be outclassed and outmatchoutmatched. Reals attack is the threat here and looking at the probable lineup they will focus 100% on attack. This suits Juve perfectly. One good ball from Pirlo and this game can well be over for the Spanish side. We cannot forget how weak Real looked against Valencia, Sevilla or Atletico in both legs. Juve thrive on such games having beaten Fiorentina 3:0 or Dortmund 3:0 on the road. They too had weaker first legs but bounced back perfectly.
Real Madrid fans should look up to Bayern Munich Fans. they support their team in any kind of situation. we have to be patient. RM players need the support of those who attend the match. HALA MADRID :)
@madridistagunner And your upset madridista or chronically frustrated gunner? You cant be both as i'm sure you are gloryhunting because of arsenal's incompetance. Excuse my blithering directness.
Karim is the only man who can save RM...He may be able to set up CP7 for some glorious tap ins. Once CP7 scores a tap in he will of course celebrate by himself.
This is going to be on of the best matches of the season but with pogba back juve have a
bigger threat to us but Benzema is also back which means ronaldo and bal could create trouble down the wings and with brilliant providers such as James , Isco and Kroos(who is doubtful) we possess a lot of creativity so i think we can snatch a goal maybe even two but the only problem is the horrid state of our defense and with pirlo supplying through balls and tevez up front i think juve will nick a goal but of course this game is at the bernabeu so our supporters will be there till the end so we will have the tempo so if we really go for it and fight till the end we can win this game 3-1 but in the end may the best team go through#HALAMADRID
As it stands the game suits juve, real have to score and juve will fancy chances on the counter. It's still close and whoever qualifies will struggle to beat barca. Who scored prediction if 1-1 looks good. Forza juve
I strongly believe that Juve will progress to the final. If Real starts too offensive then they will suffer from our counters. We are better as a team than Real prediction 2:2
hopefully with Karim back CR7 can come through with a couple goals.. he always plays better with him. I am confident we will be able to score; on the other end i am not so confident we wont give up any.. it might be a matter of trying to win 4-2 or 3-1. Should be a great game
Juve as a veritable Italian team will defend that 1 goal advantage, I don't see any small possibility even on counter attack for them to score, they are built to defend this match. 2-0 for Madrid. Hala Madrid.
No matter who you support, I have to say whoscored has becoming a pain in the a**. Change your server finally, it's a shame I can open the page every other day ffs.
Who is going to be the one, for CR tapin to create
For the glorious master of fake stats to take on the plate
If he misses, it's easy, let's blame it on his mate.
I can already see Ronaldo in the box, he likes to wait and wait
Can Madrid break Juve, or will Juve survive
Let's play a guessing game: The minute of the first dive?
But we all know Ronaldo is the best ever, because he can jump high
Free kick master, good beyond reason
No people, that's a fact, he hits the target every other season
Bale wanted to take one, oh Gareth what a treason!
It's the true! Ronaldo is THE ni**a,
Even Vermalen has one La liga.
It's a song--------

I find it hilarious that all real fans here are already talking about the final and are convinced that Real will win. The same people were already celebration before the match last week, were Juventus proved to be a very difficult hurdle. I can't comprehend the fact that Real-fans are so optimistic, Juventus were so much better in possesion last week. Defensively they are great. I just don't see Real being able to break down this defence. Also, with Pogba, Tevez, Morata and Vidal and Real's amateuristic defence, Juve is going to score at least one, maybe even two. 1-1 is the most realistic prediction by a mile.
1-1 whoscored prediction? Juve will not qualify, Real is going to be playing very offensive. Benzema will be back, which means Ronaldo and Bale can get back on the wings. 3-1 to Real.
If the alignment of the Real are Benzema and Kroos , I presume to pass to the final , otherwise no. Assuming that the two players are my prediction is 3:1 MOTM : Ronaldo
Juve play with their hart. Its a warrior team they are vikings and fight till they die! I have very much respect for my team and allegri. They play as team and nobody in the team feels himself individual better then others. The world have great respect for this juve. We have quality to reach the final! One for all, all for one.. That is how juve approach all matches. 1-1 is a very good odd by whoscored. Pogba will score. Its a beast that cant be stopped by no one! Juve is sooo a team, very determined. Forza Juve! Berlin here we come!
RM will fail here...Juventus are a team who rely on penalties to win...RM rely on penalties to win...But Juventus can score penalties...Juventus can defend..
With the current real madrid form, I don't think it would be easy for them to win this match.
The result would be 1-1 or 2-1 or 3-1. Real Madrid have more chances to qualify though they will have to work hard!
Real Madrid need to be very solid in midfield and very focused up front if we are to win this. Ronaldo,Bale,James and Benzema/Chicharito need to convert our scoring chances because almost all the games we have lost this season it was due to not converting our chances and letting the opponents score from set pieces and on the counter. This was the case against Valencia and we have now lost the league title. Varane should be given the nod ahead of Pepe because his speed might be crucial for countering Tevez and Morata. Ramos should occupy the other position at the back as he is good bringing the ball forward with speed and helping create fast attack. I really hope the midfield trio is Isco,Kroos and James because all of them are good with the ball and will help us find gaps in Juventus deep defending. Finally, i wish Bale would start on the left and Ronaldo on the right but i am not sure Ancelotti will do that, sadly.
Need to uplift our defensive frailties. We'll score goals but how many is the question. Juve are good side but not as good to stop us from reaching Berlin simply because we play at bernabeu and we are more than determined to reach finals as league is lost. Juve atleast have won the league so i expect complacency if they go down to an early goal. Tasty match , hoping for the best. Esto es Madrid ! Por Siempre Real <3
With the league gone and the early exit from the Copa Del Rey, the only shot for a trophy remains the Champions League. Barcelona are currently playing the best football around and are the best team at the moment. A Champions League final against Barcelona though might be a whole different story as we have seen the outsiders lift the trophy in many occasions in the past. So all that needs to be done right now is prepare the best way possible and go out there and get the qualification against Juventus.
all Juve rested and working purely for this game in the trainings...almost all starters were benched vs Cagliari...Real Madrid just lost the title, drew to Valencia while all starters and key players except Marcelo and Carvajal (who played 45 mins instead) played the whole 90 mins in an exhausting tempo with many clashes and fights all over the pitch...Kroos might be injured...Benzema is not ready...Modric is injured...all of this is sadly indicating to Real Madrid failing to qualify. Lets see if Ancelotti finds a way to get the qualification to the final.
i'm sure if Ramos will not play in Midfield and Gareth bale stay at the bench for this they gonna make it !! i can't understand why Carlito won't give some opportunities for Jese and Chicharito !!
I dont know how exactly but we've to win this convincingly if we desire to retain Champions League. We've a advantage , no excuses shall be heard. Go Madrid , do it.
Vivimos por ti , vence por nosotros. Luck shall be on our side this time :)
How should Ancelotti play this? Can he play Chicharito, Ronaldo and Benzema together up front? It's hard to think how what would work. Most likely Ronaldo up front with Benzema and James, but that leaves a middle three with a tough decision. Play Kroos and Isco yes, but with whom? Surely not Ramos again. Illaramendi? I'm not sure Ancelotti will even consider it. Pepe has played an anchor role before, quite well sometimes. It pushes Kroos up, which is not ideal - but it seems the best pick of bad options and creating chances won't be Real's problem, but stopping the quick counters will be. This is the problem when you lose Modric, and you sold Di Maria and Alonso. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
@dSquib Kroos got a knock today and will most likely miss out we should see this
Ronaldo Chica Bale
James
Isco Illara/Ramos
Marcelo Ramos Pepe/Varane Carvajal
Casillas
@dSquib What about this squad : Iker Casillas , Ramos as RB ! Pepe and Varane and Marcelo ! Kros Isco and Carvajale play in RM James as LM Ronaldo and Benzema !!!
@Turan and when i say Benzema is not ready to start i mean that for such a crucial Champions League semifinal second leg match after a 2-1 loss at Turin, if not fully fit and 100% ready, you only risk of injuring the player again. Perhaps he should come off the bench and let Chicharito give them a fight for 50-60 mins.
JUVE! By by spoiled i i i i i madrid. Its only i i i in that shitty team.
Juve deserved to reach the final and they did. Real wasn't in form good enough to kick them out, neither to defeat Barca in the league title race. Get over it.
I just wonder were those that say Real will progress extremely easy? 4:0, 5:0 10:0 in two legs?
Is there any team in the world that respects RM and their fans? I mean, I am Barca supporter of course I hate RM, but it seems nobody respects the spoiled king's children and their "10 Champions League trophies". I wonder why. In my opinion, Cristiano sums it up pretty well. Cheating, diving, fake stats, no magic, no creation, selfish, arrogant. And Pirlo for Juve. Class, modesty, calmness, tradition, passion, unselfishness..
So: Ronaldo scored another penalty and WAS useless as ever. The penalty, of course, was awarded after a dive. Seriously? Somebody has to change this. That was NO PENALTY. It could have changed the game. Terrible
@blitz it was a penalty watch slow motion replays and you will see james right leg getting clattered, the 2nd one wasn't a penalty tho
@abdo_12 Of course there was contact, but watch HOW he falls down. It's a penalty if you REALLY try hard to make one. Don't make me laugh. If that's a penalty, the rules should be changed. For me, it seems like refs can't wait to call some "creative decisions", and by that I mean penalties. No wonder players like to dive.
Ancelotti out. he has not brought tactics into the team. the fact that he doesnt rotate means our squad was stretched thin the whole season. whats the use of having record number of consecutive wins if there is no silverware at the end?
@Peter_Griffin Not much to rotate with ...
@QuantumDuck Theres no need to keep your strongest team on the pitch for a full 90 minutes when ur winning by 2 goals
There is nothing more amusing than the irony of Real Madrid. Spent over 200m on their strike force only t get knocked out by a youth academy player...
I was never a fan of any of the two teams today, and never think it is , but I like the way to address this semi by juve . Will be a great final , it reminds me of what was said in the Euro 88: the best defense against the best attack , usually wins the second , but this will look in the game.
Thing is, I'm convinced Juve can play better. PIrlo's passing was so strangely poor. Theoretically he won't be as energetically charged down by Iniesta or Rakitic in the final, and may have more time. But he's often charged down and usually handles it better, except for one Park Ji-sung. Agree that Pogba's rating seems high, though he put in some good tackles and did well for the goal. Vidal was better. Pogba will be in better shape in Berlin. But another fine performance all round and really exciting.
@dSquib He will have much more difficult time passing in the final. You'll se when the time comes.
@dSquib I agree, but we shouldn't neglect Pirlo's impact however many bad passes he did, he did some dribbles and extremely long, cruicial passes, especially powerful medium-ranged ground balls right in the centre to Tévez and Morata that opened the play, and was brilliant as ever reading the play, closing down spaces. He can do better, but had impact.
@dSquib sh*t talk
Who should be blamed for Real Madrid poor season. Is it Christiano Ronaldo or Carlo Ancelloti? Cr7 should be blamed half as equal to Carlo Ancelloti. Cr7 your pride your mean attitude has humiliated you. All your goals,efforts and time spent in training hasn't been of effective use to REal Madrid fraternity. 67% of your goals wouldn't result to your team winning a match .67% of your goals were sometimes hatricks . Doubles and penalties that are non essential. Real Madrid without you they could only be 30 points adrift. Cr7 your mean attitude to step up and assist . Inability for you to fight for your team has costed you the Balon de 'Or . The inability for the coach to rotate the team has costed him his Objectives at Real Madrid. To reach the Uefa Final and win the league title and Copa de relay. His Job is under Scrutiny . The failure of Real Madrid was mostly Cr7 and CA . There is nobody to blame. Blame those 2
@njamimaranga you are talking about a guy who has the second most assissts in la liga this season. Great analysis ... seems you have an IQ of a chicken.
@aeliveon As usual, RM fan deluded by numbers. He is also a top scorer. And just watch his assists please. You very well know what is njamimaranga talking about. Ronaldo is not very useful for his team. That's the truth
@blitz deluded by numbers ? Lol you do know that numbers mean something. You are just some fan boy who hates CR7. Go home you are totally drunk sweety
Hopefully they will realize Bale should play on the left, Illaramendi should play as defensive midfielder, Ramos should play as center back, Ronaldo should not play as number 9, rotation is needed if you want to win silverware, either Navas should start or another goalkeeper should be bought, only Arbeloa and Khedira should be allowed to leave while Danilo is already bought, Chicharito should be loaned in for 1 more year, Ancelotti should stay.
@Turan Ancelotti out. he has not brought tactics into the team. the fact that he doesnt rotate means our squad was stretched thin the whole season. whats the use of having record number of consecutive wins if there is no silverware at the end?
@Turan Props on Illarramendi tip. Disagree on some other aspects. Cassilas is fine. Arbeloa is a great sub, doesn't last a full 90 tho. Carvajal has dipped lately. Chicharito out because he's easily replaceable. Keep Ancelotti.
Don't know how Pogba got such a high rating, was probably one of the worst Juve players, though he did just come back from injury. Bale on the other hand had no excuse to play as he did. That foul throw from Casillas gave me a good laugh as did the RM ballboy not giving it to Evra. Great match though and in the end, Juve were the better team and are deseved finalists. Barca v. Juve June 6, I can not wait!!!
@MessyLion Agreed, he was great early on, then looked tired and was a liability soon thereafter.
Thank god it wont be a "Clasico" final. Apart from the pretentious name, we'd have the media sucking off La Liga with 2 all-Spanish finals in a row (even though hardly anything was said outside of England about the prem having a finalist every season bar one for 8 seasons including 3 winners and 1 all-prem final...) not to mention the cheat-a-thon that would be Ronaldo, Ramos, Bale and Pepe vs Neymar, Busquets, Alves and Mascherano in the perennial diving and dirty fouls contest. 120 minutes of that? No thanks. Forza Juve! Going to get some vertical black stripes tattooed on my face now.
@SteveHyland And BPL fan talking about diving. Ronaldo learnt his diving there. Chelsea, Man Utd, ... dive after dive after dive...
@blitz- Er actually foreigners brought diving to the prem and it is particularly endemic in Spainish football. For those old enough to remember pre and post football immigration in this country, it's obvious.
@SteveHyland The players who exaggerate in Barcelona: Alba, Mascherano. Players who dive in Barcelona: Pedro, Suarez and Neymar used to do it (tell me how many penalties was Barca awarded after dives?) Alves "dived" once when Pepe tried to murder him and Busquets ONCE when he infamously "peaked" from the ground. Just tell me ONE MORE time he dived? ONE MORE? Real Madrid, on the other hand, gets a penalty by diving every other match including the semi final match. Ronaldo is THE diver of the world of football.
@blitz- Oh so you're a Barca fan? No wonder it's impossible for you to see how much of a joke your team is when it comes to cheating. You also don't seem to realise just because you aren't awarded a free-kick or penalty from a dive, it doesn't mean it wasn't a dive in the first place. I don't disagree Ronaldo is the biggest diver in world football, closely followed by Ribery, but Barcelona are regarded as a team of play-actors across the world, are you telling me everybody apart from Barcelona fans have that wrong?
@SteveHyland Yes but are Juve better than Arsenal, Steve? ;-P
@dSquib- Ha, well after the Swansea and Chelsea games, it seems the issues in Wenger's game-plan which I thought (hoped) were gone are actually still very much present. I stand by my comment and opinion we have better personnel than Juve though- but then so do Real.
finally a club from a country other than spain or germany in the final!
Juve's manager is brilliant comparing to the foolish one in madrid,a wonderful tactical mind what's worth to be observed is his great confidence,,,#RESPECT
BBC: Bye Bye Champions League BBC: Bye Bye Carlo BBC: Bye Bye Copa del Rey
Juve had 2 chances to score against real but casillaa saved them.it should have been 1-3
Pirlo VS Xavi :)
1 CL final in 13 years sums up Real Madrid as a football club. They've spent absolute loads yet couldn't buy the success to save their lives. When you think Liverpool(which people laugh at) and Chelsea(which are accused for only coming into existence from 2004) have had more....
@NotBiased Change your name. You are biased as hell.
@Sinaj Judging people by their user name. you're definitely a great sin.
@Sinaj BiasedAndBlind.
are those spoiled madrid fans gone? hahaha pathetic.. show ur faces now even when you lose. they aint.. they all like CR7.. i i i i i i i. thats the mentality by madrid. i i i i i. its all about i i i i i
@cforcrime SWow so much hate. You must have been crying to La Decima a lot i believe. :D
very disrespectful by madrid spoiled fans.. saying 3-0 4-0 before the match. don't forget history u spoiled kids. look at ur little kid cr7. so this is it? is this the great madrid? LOL. its nothing! its a team with, i i i i i. madrid have never a easy task against mighty juve. we have respect for barca in the final. we know its a mission impossible, the only thing we can do is fight as team as we always do. FORZA JUVE!
@cforcrime With a goalkeeper like Casillas all teams look mighty mate!
@alexandrion91 Cry
@cforcrime Barcelona have troubles with really defensive teams.. But the front three now are at their best.. Should be a great match. BarcaXJuve!
Forza Juve Viva Maxi
hahahahhaha spoiled madrid fans! LOL! uuuuuuuuuuuuu..... OUT!
@cforcrime some people like to talk serious and elaborate how the game goes and then there are people like this guy ^^ .... oh God i hate kids .
WhoScored guessed result again. Previous 2-1 for Juve was also guessed
@Roorck- Many of WhoScored's predictions are correct. Even if.when they get a score wrong, it's only by the odd goal. Can't remember many where they have got the result wrong. We'll probably see the staff driving around in Astons having put a tenner on every result! Ha
@Roorck yes, true that
YES... SIAMO IN FINALE!!! Forza Juve!
@OXO317 well deserved
Buffon should be MOTM! Whoscored underrates goalkeepers
Real Madrid needs a goalkeeper !
Pogba MoTM? Come on... Morata, Vidal, Buffon but him? He was quite awful. That one assist, that's all he did. PS I see Marcelo is getting MoTM, even more ridiculous.
@El_Duderino yeah, Marcelo was dangerous. Supporting Juve he worried me more than anyone else.
@El_Duderino Have you watched the game ? Marcelo was all over the pitch
@El_Duderino Why ridicolous? Marcelo was very good today
@El_Duderino The site is indicating Marcelo as MoM
Cant wait to see Suarez vs Chiellini in Final ;)
@KlaasJanHuntelaar Expect Giorgio to offer up his other shoulder.
@KlaasJanHuntelaar Dont forget about Evra
@KlaasJanHuntelaar LOL I'd totally forgotten that!
@KlaasJanHuntelaar I liked your comment....the animal vs his prey
Casillas coming all that way just for a foul throw, LOL
Neuer Beta.
@El_Duderino LOLLLL
@El_Duderino Valencia's Alves...
I'd have to say this yet again, Whoscored had RM, Barca, Juve and Bayern as their cover photo for their UCL page all year long with Barca and Juve being at the middle.. They've predicted this all along.. :3
buffon!!!!!
Ramos and Varane have higher rating than Bonucci and Chelleni....not correct
@HellKitchen Chelleni caused a penalty .... actually Juve's defense was pretty aweful in the first half of the game but Madrid didn't take the chances.
@aeliveon Are you high? How can you say their defence was awful. Bonucci did one or two mistakes, his performances was around decent. But for his mistakes, Chiello cleaned up, mashed Ronaldo and read the play with brilliance, such resillience and aerial dominance.
Bale... Man, this guy is gonna have long session with his shrink this summer.
@El_Duderino the whole front three is to blame for this loss
Bale was putrid today.
@lolzzzzzzzz And so was Ronaldo/Benzema
@lolzzzzzzzz he was all season long .
@lolzzzzzzzz I don't know what putrid means but I liked your comment. Can I assume putrid for Stale Bale?
sad to see no el clásico final,,,,,,congratulations to juvantus they deserved really
The Casillas foul towards the end was absolutely hilarious. Take that now you ball boy imbecile...
Nana na na....nana na na.....hey hey hey.....gooooodbye!Ha ha
Whoscored, hats off exact prediction...
Real madrid wasted alot of chances and they paid for it. Congrats juve you deserved it.
Assassin Morata, the Real heartbreaker. Oh sweet I finally got one MOTM prediction right.
It is done. For the 4th year in a row there is a big underdog in the final! 2012 - Chelsea, 2013 - Dortmund, 2014 - Atletico, 2015 - Juventus!
Great games this champions league season, you never know who wins until the final whistle , one of the most unpredictable cl season ever
We should thank Juve for saving us from the prospect of the el clasico final. The diving , play acting and the thuggery would be unbearable.
@NotBiased- Didn't see your comment initially but I posted something almost exactly the same. You forgot the part where we'd also have to endure Platini having a shyte-eating grin on his fat face safe in the knowledge that whoever he has to hand the trophy, it won't be to an English team.
@SteveHyland Agreed. Juve really did us a huge favour.
@NotBiased Yeah, We'd see the Sergios being the front runners for both teams hahaha..
Well done Whoscored, great prediction
Delighted to see a proper club winning tonight.
Compare the number of shots to the number of goals. Talk about consistency
Hearts starting to break in Bernabeu.
@mystic34x That's Football mate, one time you win and another you lose .
@aeliveon Meant nothing wrong in my comment. YES, I know it's football. AND I KNOW exactly how those fans felt during those dying seconds.
Buffon is Beast!
The final of the two best teams was already yesterday...
@neumi17 one of the best teams you refer to got thrashed this year and the last year so please give yourself a break
Irony at its best. Now everyone will know who Alvaro Morata is...
Bale looks like Dora the explorer.Barca will destroy whoever wins this.
@mikers135 Even Bayern would have smashed any side easily...
@neumi17 I remember some saying that last year too .... joke's on them
@aeliveon Don`t get it. Bayern lost one semi against Real and one game against Barca,so? Usually those clubs never stood a chance against Bayern in the last 10 years, both of them.Their history against them is horrifying. Even in the shape of the game in Barcelona,Bayern would have easily won against either Real or Juve...
MORATA COMES BACK TO HAUNT HIS FORMER TEAM YET AGAIN!
umm. How about celebrating the goal you scored?
@NotBiased He came up through the ranks of Real Madrid, he played for their youth team and their B team. He's been in that club for 6 years and it's pretty clear that Real was his childhood dream. Now, I'm a Barcelona fan, so I don't really feel much love for Morata (although I respect his footballing prowess), but give the guy a break. David Villa spent like 4 years in Real Gijon and he didn't celebrate when he scored against them. Nobody cared. Why is there a fuss about this?
@Lulzovich There is a fuss because it's Real Madrid. I wouldn't care even if he celebrated but he showed true respect
@NotBiased It's called respect. I don't expect you Barcelona fans to understand it.
@MaltheKL yeah but could be worse and I don't expect you to grasp anything though since I am not a Barcelona fan....
@NotBiased He said he wouldn't...out of respect to his former team
@abright70 I actually find this "respect" bit ridiculous. You should celebrate the goal you've just scored. Your former team is not paying so it doesn't matter its who you are playing for that matters. Just a half hearted celebration to appease your current fans is much better than the "oh look at me I'm not celebrating" bit. And its not that you've spent two decades at your former club to have any kind of attraction.
@NotBiased You wouldn't understand.. When you do that crap, you are inviting enemies. And he is also a Spaniard. Why would he make enemy with the spanish?
@Macchonk Fair point about the enemy bit. Madrid fans do love to loath own their players so it was probably the best thing to do.
@NotBiased Yes its a bit ridiculous knocking out the club that made you in to the person you are today and being happy. He's respecting all that RM have done for him and his career.
I take that back
I don't know if Pogba has even earned a 6.4 rating. Too many botched passes
Yeah in spite that touch it was not a clear penalty. Anyway, Juve reached to the SF thanks to an non-existent penatly also (the foul was outside the penalty area and Morata just dived).
Yeah not a clear penalty despite Chiellini touched James.Anyway, also Juve reached to this instance with an non-existent penalty( it was a foul outside the area), so things are evened.
2-1
Ref knew he gave a soft penalty the first time.He was making up for his mistake.There was no way he was giving another one.
Its funny how these Barca dummies are denying what was an absolute penalty and brilliantly executed by Ronaldo! Juventus are playing with a lot of intensity but Madrid need to extend the tempo of the game after the halftime like they did vs Valencia to win the game!
@rahul.subliminal : I never knew RM won against Valencia... RM really has heck load of fans like u.
@23abhinav I talked about TEMPO. I never mentioned about a win over Valencia! Do you even think before putting anything up?
@rahul.subliminal Typical Real supporter.Obnoxious piece of sh*t.I'm delighted Real are gone.
@rahul.subliminal Its always those "barca dummies" eh?? What if more than half of the individuals here are neutrals? It was a soft penalty it is up for debate whether it should have been given or not. At the end of the day it wasn't the worst penalty ever given but doesn't mean it wasn't controversial.
@NotBiased it wasn't controversial ... deal with it, or go cry about it somewhere else
@aeliveon Except that it clearly was. Then again Real Madrid always get decisions like these and even more when you think they have their fans audacity to complain about others getting soft decisions.
@rahul.subliminal What makes you so sure that they are indeed Barcelona fans? Could be Juventus' or Atletico's or just not a fan of RM's.
Juve not bad, but lacking quality so far in attack. In defense they are tough as usual. They will need to risk at some point though
@mysterious And so they did...
Referee is too short
Real Madrid ruin the image of football world wide. People who don't watch a lot of football probably think football is all about diving and acting like you've been shot if you get kicked in your shin. Real pathetic if you ask me.
@Beastador idiot detected ^^
@Beastador You act like they are the only swim team in soccer, get over it.
not a penalty at all. just touched him. lol
@Apex21 He kicked the back of his calf while he had a clear goal scoring opportunity.
@Apex21 So unfortunate, Chiello has been marvelous ...
Bonucci has been HORRIBLE, leaves spaces, even fails passes ...
The yellow card is proof that it wasn't a penalty. The ref didn't spot the dive the 1st time unfortunately.
@Beastador Are you really this stupid or just pretending to please your Barca Ego?
@Beastador actually on replay youll see vidal came in with his elbow
It's like 80% of this entire website consists of Barcelona fans who don't know the rules. Apparently being kicked is now legal and not considered a foul...
@MaltheKL "Kick" is a great exaggeration. Then next penalty sitatuion wasn't far off, yellow for diving.
@QuantumDuck He didn't dive, replays show that Vidal pushed him. It wasn't a dive but not a penalty either.
@MaltheKL Stop acknowledging their existence, you're just wanting them to respond to you. My best friends are Barca fans, they have lives so they won't be saying those kinds of things.
Currently, it looks like it will be all Spanish final in Berlin.....El Clasico
Chiellini 0 tackles and 0 interceptions? LOL! Chiellini and Buffon key so far ...
Benzema was the missing piece all along. I think Ronaldo can play as a striker and do it well but hes always been a wing player. I feel as though if we don't come in the 2nd half exactly like we did the first then it will be Barca all over the again. I don't have my hopes up as breaching Juve's defense is already a tough task but getting past Buffon is just as hard.
Penaldo get goal from Penalty ............. lol
Another laughable attempt from the ballboy/fan(whoever it was) to keep the ball off Evra. They do have special kind of children there in Real Madrid.
@NotBiased وانت مال امك ما تخليك ففريقك
@super.dave So comes down to 3 options. Since I do't understand what you've wrote. 1. If you mean that you agree with me , Cheers! 2. If you disagree , I'd love to have a debate. 3. If it is insulting , then thank you for reminding us that our lives are not as empty and sad as yours. You get the benefit in each of the three.
@super.dave Super Dave stop with the arabic, use google translate before you post
@NotBiased that happens at every stadium in a big game. Go f.ck yourself
@Lechiffre10 At every other "proper" club the ballboy/fans are more concerned with praising and signing for their teams than doing a moronic time wasting act. This sort of attitude clearly comes from the club.
@Lechiffre10 Except that other clubs let their fans sing and make noise after a goal/winning moment. You must must be deaf or lack brain cells if you've heard the music so loud and clear at every stadium on earth. Unfortunately for you judging by the latter part of your post I wouldn't put it past you.
@NotBiased lol what the hell are you talking about with fans and singing. I'm telling you the ball boy incident happens everywhere; It happened with atle madrid, Chelsea even with Barcelona.
@Lechiffre10 It all comes down to the club. Real Madrid would have obviously told their ballboys to waste as much time as possible under such circumstances and they are doing so. Or else under normal conditions a fan would rather want his team to put the tie to bed than hang around. YOu've only mentioned three clubs. Not at every stadium.
@NotBiased well im not going to start pulling a list. Are you really this stupid
@Lechiffre10 If you could give me the list of incidents like these on all stadiums then I'll be convinced. You made the initial point so good luck proving that.
Wasn't surprising.. They're really good at going inside and get a penalty..
@mystic34x James has definitely been practicing at diving...He won a penalty in the league not too long ago.
@Beastador I wouldn't be surprised either mate..
LOL at that music..You've got over thousands of fans in the stadium but you'd rather play the music than let them cheer at possibly the winning goal of the Cl semi final. No wonder people think Real Madrid are a joke of a club.
rm will go out
Real Madrid getitng a soft penalty. I for one am stunned.
@NotBiased Nothing but Barca fans on this sight, its pretty annoying.
@NotBiased a soft penalty? Really ? What are u smoking dude ?
@aeliveon Its sad what modern football has come down to. A decade ago it would never be a penalty but now its a new trend. I think that in this case you should always give the defender the benefit of the doubt.
@aeliveon definitely seen way worse not beong called
PPPenaldo!
Ronaldo Penaldo scores a penaldo. It wouldn't be a Real Madrid match without a penalty.
@Beastador yeah but when juventus wins a penalty its different. Do every1 a favor and go to bed
Penaldo?
Penaldo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
433 is not a good omen to RM
I don't get it.....Carlo Ancelotti doesn't play the man who brought the team to this level....Chicharito
I want Real - Barcelona final in Berlin - match of the century! but I realize the chances tonight are 50:50
This juve is so à team. No player feels individual better then others. Vikings and playing with their hart. That is mighty Juve!
Am sorry to all Madrid fans. But the journey after la decima is almost impossible. The reasons for a lack of silverware its lack of squad depth. The same players every tournament. They're human. They tear and get worn out. Almost over 80% of Madrid players are playing with injuries . Look the last 3 games how they've succumbed to defeat. Your attack cant compesate your defense anymore. Juventus is a team that plays with Stamina(mental and physical effort). Madrid come to this game with their motivation tank below 20%.Juventus squad is almost fit beside Pogba who returns from Injury. A bet my dime on Juventus. Real 1-2 Juventus. Its time Madrid enters the market stop buying spoiled low grade Oranges and buy one thriving force of a Lemon
worst fans in the world,booing a legend,hopefully it doesn't effect his performance tonite
@therobbieunited Someone obviously isn't watching the match...
Please stop comparing messi and ronaldo,theres no comparison ,messi is on another level to ron,take nothing away from ron but its a fact
Juventus will be in the final,trust me ! Carlito Tevez and Pogba will score or assist.
Pogba is back!!!
RM chance is bigger.
Won (17%) Drew (17%) Won (67%) enough said..
Gianluigi bufon is the MOTM
4-2
3:3
It's clear it's going to be a victorious night for madrid. They wouldn't just celebrate cause juve will qualify just like barca. RMA3-2JUV
RM 3-1 Juv ....
2-0 Real Madrid C.F. ♥ Meringues ♥!
expecting crazy match
Real go through on a cheap 1-0 win
@MooveOver real have nothing, it is no team. team spirit and warriors gonna win tonight, WE Mighty JUVE!
Juve have the better players. cr7 have is own pride and dont think about the team, i i i i, want to score. bale the same, benzema not match fit, modric out. bad evening for spoiled madrid.
Juventus win tonight. Real cant even win against Valencia. LOL!
@cforcrime Valencia would probably compete to win the Serie A
@cforcrime You're under estimating Valencia! They even gave us Barca fan scare in Camp Nou, we were lucky enough too grind the victory.
Why need this match ? Juventus easily go to final.
@tuhin amen brother!
Real sucks! Juve gonna win!
As a Barca fan, I don't want a classico final. I don't want RM having another chance to win the UCL.
@Beastador Wut?? I'm not a fan of either team, but just imagine how Huge the game will be, how can you not be excited for that?
@MiguelSuave its too unpredictable, form doesn't matter in classicos. RM plays like a team in classicos.
Real - Juventus 3:0
Both teams are my favourite, but this time i wish Real to go in the big clasico final. It is possible and i wish to see penaltys!
@Rex Because you know Ronaldo would love a penalty shoot-out?
One for shure..it will be a good game for watching!
Real Madrid has the better chance of winning but Juve may turn things around. Exciting!!
Real madrid will win this. People will finally realize how important Benzema is for this squad.
juv win
El real 3-1 jupe
3-2 Juventus
The bad thing for Real Madrid about Pogba playing is that he can score and create chances, he holds the ball very well and brings it forward excellently. The good thing for Real Madrid about Pogba playing is that he doesn't defend and work as hard as the player he is replacing in midfield so it will open up more space to exploit going forward.
So if i may , how good is Paul Pogba , i havent seen him play i admit it , can avid footy watcher or aspiring pundit can enlighten me with no bias?
@Tyrion_Lannister baring in mind his age he is bound to be in the top 5 best midfielders.he is nearly complete as he can play well in the defense and has what it takes to change the outcome of the game himself. He had his better and worse moments this season. He should however shine here being well supported by his teammates
@Tyrion_Lannister He is really really good. He is excellent at bringing the ball forward and holding it, his shooting is good, he is very strong and skillful. His marking can improve and perhaps he can improve on his passing aswell. Basically he has the potential for big things but at the moment he doesn't have as many goals or assists as he would like so he needs to work hard in training.
3:1 RM win, MOTM Ramos
I'm salivating at the prospect of a Clasico final. Is that weird?
@MessyLion nope i was trembling and hypothermic as well as it has never happened in an century. But real have a big task at night to take care of if they wish to make a history. Hope luck is on their side this time around
All Juventus need to do is defend well. I wouldn't put it past them to progress. Madrid will hope Benzema is back, because he does so much to make Ronaldo look good, and because Ronaldo is rubbish as a CF.
Juve needs an away goal but they can't afford opening up in order to get it, so today it's all about counters to them. I believe they will get it eventually, and that means Real needs to score at least two. With Italian defence it shouldn't get any highter than that. This is why I see this game going into ET.
it will be 2-1 for rma
@Rayyo who will win the penalty shoot out then?
This will be one of the best games of the season! Juve did well in the first leg but had their share of problems when Real pressed harder. This game will suit Juve. With Pogba back, The old lady currently have the best midfield from the teams left In CL. Their defense is strong and solid. Real struggled against Atletico in both games and now having to face a tougher opponent they do not look that great. Real have a very weak defense with Iker making plenty of horrible mistakes in the first leg. Their midfield will also be outclassed and outmatchoutmatched. Reals attack is the threat here and looking at the probable lineup they will focus 100% on attack. This suits Juve perfectly. One good ball from Pirlo and this game can well be over for the Spanish side. We cannot forget how weak Real looked against Valencia, Sevilla or Atletico in both legs. Juve thrive on such games having beaten Fiorentina 3:0 or Dortmund 3:0 on the road. They too had weaker first legs but bounced back perfectly.
Will Juventus do a Mourinho??? Park the bus? Find out tonight...only on whoscored.com
How i would love to be in Bernabeu tonight :( Anyone here going?
@Turan My body will be at my home , my heart always at bernabeu.
@Tyrion_Lannister but then you are dead
@glenbayern Death is the beginning.
@Turan Nah, its 10s of thousands miles away from here...
I love the cover pic. Thanks!
we'll always say We Miss you so much Luka Modric
Forza Juventus!!!
Real Madrid fans should look up to Bayern Munich Fans. they support their team in any kind of situation. we have to be patient. RM players need the support of those who attend the match. HALA MADRID :)
i hope juve to process, really such a boring match up for Barce-Real in these years. and don't want to see that bastard Casillas never ever again. 2:2
@ambrose actually Barcelona-Real Madrid games have been the most sought after and most entertaining of them all in recent year
@ambrose Wow i pity you.
@ambrose the real bastard here is you, idiot!!
@ambrose You missed your pills.
@ambrose Exactly. We see enough of Barca-Real every year, let's have something different.
@ambrose moronho's chump is here , put fabreez on him.
@ambrose When were you born? get the f**k out here
@ambrose hahahahahahahaaaa.. there will be haters :D
I want Perez to look at Juve's back 8/9. THAT IS A TEAM. Not stuffing Kroos, James, and Isco into your lineup and calling it a midfield
@madridistagunner And your upset madridista or chronically frustrated gunner? You cant be both as i'm sure you are gloryhunting because of arsenal's incompetance. Excuse my blithering directness.
Just to clarify I meant all their defenders/midfielders
i kinda want to see el clasico final but i want juve to win
Karim is the only man who can save RM...He may be able to set up CP7 for some glorious tap ins. Once CP7 scores a tap in he will of course celebrate by himself.
@Beastador کِریم تو تک دل منو بریدی
@Beastador Its CR7 right? What is the P for?
@HellKitchen Cristina Penaldo
@Beastador Madrid in a nutshell
This is going to be on of the best matches of the season but with pogba back juve have a bigger threat to us but Benzema is also back which means ronaldo and bal could create trouble down the wings and with brilliant providers such as James , Isco and Kroos(who is doubtful) we possess a lot of creativity so i think we can snatch a goal maybe even two but the only problem is the horrid state of our defense and with pirlo supplying through balls and tevez up front i think juve will nick a goal but of course this game is at the bernabeu so our supporters will be there till the end so we will have the tempo so if we really go for it and fight till the end we can win this game 3-1 but in the end may the best team go through#HALAMADRID
@patricia.singh.14 that's what you guys said about RM vs Atletico. Two of the most boring legs of the quarter finals.
@patricia.singh.14 you means the supporters will be booing Casillas
@Beastador Nope there will be banner for him today.
Benzema on the pitch, Real will win this game. If he wasn't i dont know...
As it stands the game suits juve, real have to score and juve will fancy chances on the counter. It's still close and whoever qualifies will struggle to beat barca. Who scored prediction if 1-1 looks good. Forza juve
@Lucio1983 I liked your comment but Real have good chances, Juve has to score. If Real wins 1-0, Real are through.
I strongly believe that Juve will progress to the final. If Real starts too offensive then they will suffer from our counters. We are better as a team than Real prediction 2:2
hopefully with Karim back CR7 can come through with a couple goals.. he always plays better with him. I am confident we will be able to score; on the other end i am not so confident we wont give up any.. it might be a matter of trying to win 4-2 or 3-1. Should be a great game
@golomo1 I agree, I have a Real Madrid 4 Juventus 2 scoreline in my mind.
Juve as a veritable Italian team will defend that 1 goal advantage, I don't see any small possibility even on counter attack for them to score, they are built to defend this match. 2-0 for Madrid. Hala Madrid.
It doesn't matter who wins or who loses this tie cuz he will only reach a final to face a lose from Barcelona!
If real allowed juventus to play their game then real are out.
@Rohit You can't say that here man. It's a CR community. They will downvote the hell out of your comment. Bunch of losers.
No matter who you support, I have to say whoscored has becoming a pain in the a**. Change your server finally, it's a shame I can open the page every other day ffs.
@blitz Of all the times to do upgrades... Champions League semi-finals? really?
R.M.C.F. wins 2-0! ♥
Who is going to be the one, for CR tapin to create For the glorious master of fake stats to take on the plate If he misses, it's easy, let's blame it on his mate. I can already see Ronaldo in the box, he likes to wait and wait Can Madrid break Juve, or will Juve survive Let's play a guessing game: The minute of the first dive? But we all know Ronaldo is the best ever, because he can jump high Free kick master, good beyond reason No people, that's a fact, he hits the target every other season Bale wanted to take one, oh Gareth what a treason! It's the true! Ronaldo is THE ni**a, Even Vermalen has one La liga.

@blitz Lot of sh*t in your brain fella. Put a vacuum cleaner on it.
@Tyrion_Lannister Only Tyrion Lannister can make such witty comments. To the throne in Berlin.....
@Tyrion_Lannister Only truth my friend. Only truth.
@blitz Blimey ! I can very well see that.
I find it hilarious that all real fans here are already talking about the final and are convinced that Real will win. The same people were already celebration before the match last week, were Juventus proved to be a very difficult hurdle. I can't comprehend the fact that Real-fans are so optimistic, Juventus were so much better in possesion last week. Defensively they are great. I just don't see Real being able to break down this defence. Also, with Pogba, Tevez, Morata and Vidal and Real's amateuristic defence, Juve is going to score at least one, maybe even two. 1-1 is the most realistic prediction by a mile.
1-1 whoscored prediction? Juve will not qualify, Real is going to be playing very offensive. Benzema will be back, which means Ronaldo and Bale can get back on the wings. 3-1 to Real.
@Existenzrippchen lol
Madrid with Isco and James on central midfield? RIP defence...
@psalo17 Whose defence? ;)
@Isco Its a possession based midfield capable of winning back balls efficiently. But you need to score a stunner or close to that.
Benzema is back.. confirm 3 - 0 for realmadrid.. CR7 u can do it buddy...
@nenggo pogba is back! Confirm 1-3
Hala Saint Iker ^
If the alignment of the Real are Benzema and Kroos , I presume to pass to the final , otherwise no. Assuming that the two players are my prediction is 3:1 MOTM : Ronaldo
"Di Stefano said: 'No player is as good as everyone playing together.' You are the 12th man".
1-0 is enough for Madrid, and as Juve know this, they'll park the bus. If Real scores early, this can become one of the best matches of the season.
Juve play with their hart. Its a warrior team they are vikings and fight till they die! I have very much respect for my team and allegri. They play as team and nobody in the team feels himself individual better then others. The world have great respect for this juve. We have quality to reach the final! One for all, all for one.. That is how juve approach all matches. 1-1 is a very good odd by whoscored. Pogba will score. Its a beast that cant be stopped by no one! Juve is sooo a team, very determined. Forza Juve! Berlin here we come!
@cforcrime Are Juve warriors or Vikings (who raided more than they warred) or Musketeers? Pick one and stick with it!
@dSquib you have none m8, we are warriors and vikings. Accept it or try to get used to it.. Narf!
@cforcrime I support Juve here, m8.
@dSquib ok m8!
The italian teams when think to defend .. no one can defeat them .. and ask de matio
RM will fail here...Juventus are a team who rely on penalties to win...RM rely on penalties to win...But Juventus can score penalties...Juventus can defend..
The bad news for Juve is that Ramos will not play in midfield this time. The good news is that he'll play in defence.
@dSquib- Ha ha.
With the current real madrid form, I don't think it would be easy for them to win this match. The result would be 1-1 or 2-1 or 3-1. Real Madrid have more chances to qualify though they will have to work hard!
Real madrid win 3-1. FINAL: BARCA-REAL MADRID
We're waiting for the finalists , Visca Barca , Visca Catalunya. Mes que un club. Totem Barca !!!!!!!
Real Madrid need to be very solid in midfield and very focused up front if we are to win this. Ronaldo,Bale,James and Benzema/Chicharito need to convert our scoring chances because almost all the games we have lost this season it was due to not converting our chances and letting the opponents score from set pieces and on the counter. This was the case against Valencia and we have now lost the league title. Varane should be given the nod ahead of Pepe because his speed might be crucial for countering Tevez and Morata. Ramos should occupy the other position at the back as he is good bringing the ball forward with speed and helping create fast attack. I really hope the midfield trio is Isco,Kroos and James because all of them are good with the ball and will help us find gaps in Juventus deep defending. Finally, i wish Bale would start on the left and Ronaldo on the right but i am not sure Ancelotti will do that, sadly.
Need to uplift our defensive frailties. We'll score goals but how many is the question. Juve are good side but not as good to stop us from reaching Berlin simply because we play at bernabeu and we are more than determined to reach finals as league is lost. Juve atleast have won the league so i expect complacency if they go down to an early goal. Tasty match , hoping for the best. Esto es Madrid ! Por Siempre Real <3
With the league gone and the early exit from the Copa Del Rey, the only shot for a trophy remains the Champions League. Barcelona are currently playing the best football around and are the best team at the moment. A Champions League final against Barcelona though might be a whole different story as we have seen the outsiders lift the trophy in many occasions in the past. So all that needs to be done right now is prepare the best way possible and go out there and get the qualification against Juventus.
Impossible is nothing. Do it Vikingos ! Siempre Real <3
Keep your heads up lads! we are going to win this one ! HALA MADRID :)
all Juve rested and working purely for this game in the trainings...almost all starters were benched vs Cagliari...Real Madrid just lost the title, drew to Valencia while all starters and key players except Marcelo and Carvajal (who played 45 mins instead) played the whole 90 mins in an exhausting tempo with many clashes and fights all over the pitch...Kroos might be injured...Benzema is not ready...Modric is injured...all of this is sadly indicating to Real Madrid failing to qualify. Lets see if Ancelotti finds a way to get the qualification to the final.
Morata quatrick pls :))
Bring back the glory. Hala Madrid
I loved u more.
i'm sure if Ramos will not play in Midfield and Gareth bale stay at the bench for this they gonna make it !! i can't understand why Carlito won't give some opportunities for Jese and Chicharito !!
Time to show up boys! let's score some goals :) HALA MADRID
I dont know how exactly but we've to win this convincingly if we desire to retain Champions League. We've a advantage , no excuses shall be heard. Go Madrid , do it. Vivimos por ti , vence por nosotros. Luck shall be on our side this time :)
@kroos8 No need to win convincigly, a simpe win enough to qualify to the final is all we want.
@Turan Cant wait for the game.
How should Ancelotti play this? Can he play Chicharito, Ronaldo and Benzema together up front? It's hard to think how what would work. Most likely Ronaldo up front with Benzema and James, but that leaves a middle three with a tough decision. Play Kroos and Isco yes, but with whom? Surely not Ramos again. Illaramendi? I'm not sure Ancelotti will even consider it. Pepe has played an anchor role before, quite well sometimes. It pushes Kroos up, which is not ideal - but it seems the best pick of bad options and creating chances won't be Real's problem, but stopping the quick counters will be. This is the problem when you lose Modric, and you sold Di Maria and Alonso. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
@dSquib Kroos got a knock today and will most likely miss out we should see this Ronaldo Chica Bale James Isco Illara/Ramos Marcelo Ramos Pepe/Varane Carvajal Casillas
@dSquib What about this squad : Iker Casillas , Ramos as RB ! Pepe and Varane and Marcelo ! Kros Isco and Carvajale play in RM James as LM Ronaldo and Benzema !!!
@dSquib Benzema is not ready to start just yet so forget him for this match. Bale Chicharito and Ronaldo should start up front.
@Turan and when i say Benzema is not ready to start i mean that for such a crucial Champions League semifinal second leg match after a 2-1 loss at Turin, if not fully fit and 100% ready, you only risk of injuring the player again. Perhaps he should come off the bench and let Chicharito give them a fight for 50-60 mins.
Fino Alla Fine, Forza Juventus !!!
