Mikey1874 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 This tie is open. But just wonder all these chances missed by Bayern is a lack of belief. That Madrid have something over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VALDOS Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Very evenly matched, I think this tie will be tight right to the end of the return leg. Will be important to get Robben back for Bayern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie2004 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Just watched replays of both goals. Am I correct or not but it looks as though Marcelo has placed the original ball on the pitch and if so should the ref have stopped play until that ball was the only one in play? Should Munichs goal have counted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where Liverpool look like they could struggle is in midfield, because with the Ox and Can out for the season, and Henderson on a yellow card tightrope, they have absolutely no one to bring in, so if Henderson gets booked in the second semi, then it's curtains for the midfield should they make the final.

Very fair response John and correct too.

As long as they get there, then the experience should be awesome, and I'll hold my hands up and admit that at 5 up, I was out chicken counting just a tad too soon, the Romans will make it an incredibly hostile atmosphere as they despise Liverpool for ruining their big day back in 1984, I can pretty much guarantee that the noises coming from their camp is to expect plenty of bookings also as they'll kick Liverpool off the park and try to unsettle them, I just hope they don't stoop to bribing the referee like they had to do in 1984 against Dundee United, because it really should have been them against Liverpool in that years final.
