It has been an absolutely spectacular tie. In both legs the away team led 2-0, before the home side came roaring back to tie it at 2-2.

He led ronaldinho away(much love for ronnie btw), he upgraded iniesta, messi he made pique, busquets, pedro A players.
Spain played like HIS barca.
So you can say that he has about 2 euros and 1 world cup as well

His negative is that he doesn't seem to be able to adapt to a different style.
He made bayern like barca. But bayern was great before he went there.
It will be bad to see this style again in MCity.

.....and he is LUCKY

Not technically true. Tiki taka is an evolution of Totaalvoetbal aka total football pioneered by Rinus Michels, famously played by his dutch teams. Cruyff was responsible for bringing it to Barca, though I agree that Pep is the one who made it into global lexicon.

This is true. Cruyff was the initial starter of the tiki tala and not Pep. Similar to how Tex Winters taught the triangle to Phil

Allegri lost the tie when he took out Morata and Cuadrado. Moron. Only one left running was Pogba. The other 2 were running their assessment off

You are right. He will admit as well that Cruyff was first.
I had in mind only the modern era.

Benfica-Wolfsburg would be awesome. Everyone is waiting to draw these two teams. :lol:

Wow what a game. It must suck to be on the end of conceding a 90th minute goal and then 2 more in ET.

Great comeback by Bayern Munich... momemtum totally shifted their way after the first goal and Juventus played too much prevent....

While I do not blame it on missed calls I did find it a bit rubbish that to me, it seems that Bayern was getting all the calls while Juventus got a bit shafted at the critical moments where as BM got it easy....

not using it as an excuse but I was watching it and thought there was some legit discrepancy on how it was being called.

Going to try desperately to be up for the draw.... I'm going to guess:

Barca vs Wolfsburg
Man City vs Atletico
PSG vs Benfica
Real vs Bayern

Bayern will get an easy draw imo.

Bayern is notorious for getting the easy draw. We will probably get Man City/PSG/Atleti.

Pep's unending love for Xabi almost gets Bayern eliminated. And of course once he finally brought Thiago on he decided the match for the bavarians like the disgustingly gifted player that he is. Alongside the decision to start the veteran Ribery over the on-form Coman, as well as opting for Benatia at CB over Alaba...who had a dreadful start to match playing the LB position that he oh so rarely plays this season...Pep's conservatism/over-caution in big matches almost killed him yet again. For such a clever and creative coach, that must be such an irritating trend for Bayern fans to see in him.

He needs to find the bravado that he had in last year's tie with Barca, when injuries to his squad left him with nothing to lose. Rely on Thiago with Vidal and Alaba taking turns running forward past him, with Kimmich/Boateng (once healthy) hanging back behind them. Then either use Bernat and Lahm as wing backs in support of Lewy, Mueller, Costa, Robben/Robbery/Coman/Gotze; or even take off one (or both) of the FBs to use an extra forward.
