Rooting for Juve, but I think Barca is too hot and Messi is on a mission.

Barcelona have been lucky all season long. Injuries/suspensions for PSG, Bayern, and now Juve. Not saying it would have made a difference, but still. They have stayed pretty damn healthy all season long

It wouldn't have made a difference. Chiellenis job would have been to get nutmegged by Messi or Suarez.

1. Man United - Bayern 1999
2. Liverpool - Milan 2005
3. Bayern - Dortmund 2013
4. Dortmund - Juventus 1997
5. Real Madrid - Leverkusen 2002


06 for me. Larsson the hero. Homer pick since I'm a Barca fan. Also had money on the line, making a bet with a Gunners fan friend of mine.


Prediction for this year's: 3-1 Barca. Xavi closes his career with the treble.
Eric Maynor is the worst basketball player I've ever seen.

Wanted to see a Suarez-Chiellini rematch. At least we get Evra.

Crazy to think that is Messi's first ever game in Berlin.

He didnt play in that Germany - Argentina 06' quarterfinal.

Tells you something about Berlin as a football city that arguably the best player of all time never played there, what, 11 years after he started his career.

It's Liverpool Milan and there is little argument otherwise.

surely youre joking if you dont think it would make a difference, chiellini is still a world class defender and i believe juve have a chance no matter how small it is.

To be honest, Juve don't lose much with Barzagli filling in for Chiellini. What sucks is that with Barz starting we don't have the flexibility of moving to a 3-5-2 like they have been doing throughout the CL this season

That's the guy telling me I'm obsessed with Hamburg.
