Really want Man Utd to win next Tuesday [Most likely because I'm a Utd fan] and I feel if we do then we could go all the way and possibly get the treble again, especially with Barca having a hard time against Milan. Apart from them, the only other two main threats are Bayern and AC Milan [Possibly Dortmund too].

Yup i agree! I put on a massive bet (2 whole £'s) : :winkgrin:) with a friend that we'd win the treble if we get through this round!

Title looks wrapped up, in the FA cup all there is left is Chelsea, City and Everton. If we play them at a good gap with no other tough fixtures around then it's very doable.

Champions League...well anything can happen there :) Again if we get a lucky draw pitting other big teams against each other... who knows :)

Plus, our 2nd team players have all been playing great this season too, which is crucial for winining multiple cups.

Lucky draws? City and Chelsea get those... (bar City's CL)
We always get the BPL teams or hard ones in the CL.

Barca did nothing... Pass here, pass there, passes everywhere!!

Agree. Specially when Milan defended like that (Italian football trait).

Even when someone managed to free himself from the defender, instead of shooting mid or long range, he would pass...  :bang:

I would like to see ManU in the finals, too. However, Madrid has a very powerful offensive, so the tied score is not a good advantage...

But the fact it was away is a better advantage. At least the 2nd leg is at OT with the home crowd spuring you on.
If we isolate Ronaldo like we did with Bale against Spurs he becomes fairly useless. (He still is CR7 though)
We have a very good chance of progressing if David De Gea is on form again. The slating he gets from the media is absolutely unfair. He has been one of our greatest players this season.

I see no reason why we cant win at OT. Defence is playing better than it has all season, attackers need no introduction :)

When i look at Madrid i almost get annoyed at how good their bench is! Players like Modric, Kaka, Higuian, often start there....crazy!

Currently if i had one team id bet on to win the CL...it'd be Bayern. Got a quality side no doubt, performed so well at Arsenal its unreal. And they're something like 15 points at the top of the Bundesliga so they can concentrate on that less

He carries Spurs more than Suarez does with Liverpool. I wouldn't mind Bale being at OT and not for the Spurs away game. Shame Levy is such a tool with his demands for his players.

FC Barcelona 1-3 Real Madrid  d_b

Solid gameplay from Los Blancos.  :)

Have not achieved this kind of victory at the Camp Nou since 2002.  :cop:

FC Barcelona 1-3 Real Madrid  d_b

I missed it!!!

Oh well, Barcelona has been playing the same for the last few years, so that result seems logical (it's Real for goodness' sake, play different)...

Congrats to the madridistas.

Don't worry that this Sunday there's another one.
It was a great match really! Real Madrid managed to dominate pretty much the whole match and it was at Camp Nou! I really hope they win the Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup). The other semifinal (2nd leg) is tonight (Sevilla-Atletico Madrid).

Congrats Barca, was expecting a 2-1 Victory for the blaugranas and Milan to go through but what can you do. Milan need to reinforce their quad with a good midfielder and defender for next season. Possible another goalie. This Champions just got very intersting cant wait for the quarters.

I look forward to Barca - Madrid rematch. = ) I hope it'll be the same score, simply reversed.
