Barca out of CL. Hell yeah :)

Now Barcelona was eliminated yesterday and I "El Clasico" as a final isn't possible anymore, in which Barca would have crushed Real off course...

What are your predictions for tonights match?

As I'm a Barca fan, I prefer Munchen to win! Let's see how Gomez, Ribery and Robben do tonight.

Madrid win by 2 goal after extra time :)

Totally deserved win by Bayern.

Looking forward to the final on May 19.

The final's gonna be boring, Bayern will of course attack while Chelsea will close and play the same as against Barcelona.

Find that unlikely V, Chelsea have no defence left due to suspensions and are left with no option but to attack.

I think it'll be an end to end game. Remember Chelsea owner wants to win the Champs League, thats what he's wanted since he bought the club, I dont think he'll settle for them sitting back.

must admit gave me a smile when barca went out even though not a chelsea fan, and for madrid to take the league too made me smile inside thinking how barca poached arsenal players.  Looking forward to the final though, but dont expect it to be a classic, i fancy bayern for the win with chelsea so inconsistent this season

For a neutral supporter like me I hope you're right Slash. If Chelsea does play the same as against Barca, THEY definately don't deserve to win. Does it mean I will support Bayer? Germans, NAH don't think so!!

Either way, Chelsea's kinda screwed since Terry, Ivanovic, Ramires and Meireles can't play. It's a dumb law in my opinion. Terry shouldn't play because of the red card but I think it would be more interesting to watch the teams with their best players plus it's harsh to forbid players from playing the most important match of the season.

yeah for the internationals everything dissapears after the group stage so is a law change needed

FIFA are the ones that changed the law for the internationals though, UEFA have said they won't change the rules for the European contests for at least 3 years time when they get reviewed.

I agree with you though V, those players banned via the 2nd booking nonsense deserve to play, Terry doesn't though for his stupid red card.

And Gaius, i'm basically a neutral too really, I prefer Chelsea but i'm not a big Chelsea fan or anything, I'm a Rangers fan. I've just always liked Chelsea since Brian Laudrup moved from Rangers to Chelsea

"yeah for the internationals everything dissapears after the group stage"

But they still miss the final if they get a second yellow in the semi final, right?

Have you thought about what happens if a second yellow card in the semi's doesn't mean a ban for the final? For instance, your team is 1-0 up in the first semi final and still 30 min of play left, all eleven players could go stalling the game. Yes maybe they will get a yellow card eventually, but it doesn't matter, a ref (almost) never gives two yellow cards in the same match for stalling. AND they can do the same the second semi, the (second) yellow card they get in this match will dissapear, because they 'deserve'to play the final?

NAH, if they change that rule the semi-finals, which were very interesting this year will be crap/ boring in the future. Keep the rule!

Well in that situation the rule should be applied but not always.

It's going be hard to judge whos going win the final with all the suspensions in both teams, Bayern have the home advantage though, that could possibly give them a small advantage but the way chelsea have been last while it could be a blue final. 

I'd think the majority off people would be betting on bayern to win but you never know with football. Who you think will take the victory, and will the home advantage for the germans give them the edge?
