Champions League 2010 / 2011

Stankovic with goal of the season though........nice to see Schalke line up to win the game.

Inter will be out for blood...They got smoked Sunday by a very impressive Milan effort. They may have lost the Scudetto there and will want to defend their European crown even more now. I predict they dismantle Schalke and contrary to most I feel Spurs will give the poofs in white a good run and maybe earn a draw.

Well you were right on one point....there was a dismantling......

Like I said, Schalke were out for blood and Tottenham were never going to be in it...

Selling Torres was the best thing Liverpool has done in years. Andy Carrol and Suarez looked absolutly fantastic yesterday. I am most impressed with the work rate up top between the two. 2-3 off season pick-ups and a healthy Gerrard, they are back in contention for the league title. Liverpool is going to be a dangerous team, I wanted Man Utd to really go after Suarez and I think they really missed out..what a player.

Sorry Zenga and Berga.................but this is a great scene for a wonderful professional, Raul.

Chelsea just needs a summer of rest and offseason training to get to gel. Name one defender in the league that can even keep a step with Torres? NONE! Him and Drogba just have to learn to gel together, next year they will be a dangerous combination!

 

[bergamascho]

Bucky, I hate Inter, I was cheering for Schalke all the way! Also Raúl is pure class and one of the all time greats in my books. Of course, Bronco may step in and argue for smelly Croats or old Welshmen over El 7...

Team hatred in order of genuine hatred:

1) Inter
2) Inter
3) Inter

I think you get the idea...

i'm sorry c4l but torres is over rated and other than a couple 10 or so game stretches in his career so far he really hasn't done anything. South Africa for example showed how much better david villa is than him. And TBH i can't see Drogba wearing a chelsea jersey next season...
Ever since ray wilkins was fired or left (disagreement) chelsea have been shocking.

i really hope real madrid can win this thing as i can't stand barca or utd, and i don't see schalke being able to pull it off.

Name one defender?

How many games has Torres gone without a goal now? Times that by 4 and pick a name

 

[Chelsea4life]

Im not doubting he has had a terrible season, and yes MB10 Wilkins going was a terrible terrible mistake. Along with the best centre back Carvalio (or however you spell it). But Torres is world class, and Im sure he will bounce back, just need a good offseason of training.
Go Real Madrid GO! The chosen one will lead the way as he always does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cascadesoccer]

im a huge man utd fan, (ya ya I know) and I obviously want them to win, but can anyone beat barca these days? TBH I can't really see them losing.

 

[Walks]

Agreed cascade ....... Barcelona are a different class and should / will win the whole thing easily.

real madrid will beat them, hopefully by alot

Actually South Africa shows how much better Villa fits into Spainish/Barca type soccer. I don't really think Torres is built for that system and a good offseason and he could be back to his old self at Chelsea. Anybody that has played striker can tell you it's a confidence game, once your scoring you can't miss and just know you will bury half a chance. When things aren't going well you start thinking, pass when you should shoot, take an extra touch. Form is temporary but class is permanent. Torres is full of class and has come off a ton of significant injuries, lack of form and criticism. As Chelsea4life said he just needs a real offseason and a fresh year. Rooney looked a shell of his former self for 3/4 of the year, look at him now dictating game after game.

i see what you're saying, and i agree torres will get back to scoring. I just don't think he is as good as 50 million, his goal scoring record at liverpool was really good. yet i still don't think he is a good enough player to say that no defender can live with him that is all.

With Madrid winning the Copa today, this makes the semis of the Champs league even more interesting. We've seen that Barca are human and can be beat. Should be awesome games coming our way.
