Porto fans at the airport to show support as players departed for Germany.

Still pessimistic about this.


Me too :D

damn... losing Modric alone is a game killer... now Bale and Marcelo? WTF Marcelo! lol

Benz, not disappointed as some who have read my posts from before...

Maybe James can finally be more aggressive in attacking with Ronaldo...

Bild reporting that Robben can make a surprise inclusion vs Porto. Oh boy.

Roma 1-7 Bayern
Bayern 7-0 Shaktar

I also remember this from this season.
If i am confident for today ? Yes.
If i am also a little be scared ? Oh, yeah.

Mix feelings ;)

Either that or risk getting blown out by a very motivated Bayern. I have a feeling Porto makes it through.

It would almost certainly work today. Without Schweinsteiger, Alaba, Ribery and Robben (well he certainly won't start) Bayerns passing in the opponent half is much sloppier....so a goal on a quick counter attack seems very likely if you guys park the bus. :thumbsup:

One thing is to play counter attack. Quality possesion when you have the ball.

Another thing is parking the bus (Like Inter vs Barça = that is not a great example, because Inter won, but they won because they got lucky)

Two very good games today with major storylines...

Can Bayern Munich come back and steal the leg from Porto?

Will the return of Ibra make a difference for PSG as they trail by 3 away goals...?

Arjen and Ribéry are not on the bench for Bayern, so no joker role sub for either

Reyes starting. Maicon right back I suppose. We're really going to try to hold them without scoring the two goals, because we can't expect much offense from these guys. I think I would prefer to just go with Ricardo/Angel and trust that they'd be able to do a good job. Two centre backs as fullbacks is really inviting pressure. Hopefully they have a good game. May god be with us. :lol:

Looking forward to moaning Portugese after the game as usual against German teams.

Good luck, FC Bayern.
