Champs League


Recommended Posts

Just noticed the match up between Balotelli and Pepe. If that doesn't result in a red card I'll be surprised.

The games looked (and were) easy last night with regards to betting so had my first flutter of the season tonight.

Dortmund doing the damage so far. 0-2

Madrid may be destroying Liverpool tonight without getting out of 2nd gear, however, I don't think that they are a great team by comparison to some of the other top teams. Don't get me wrong, they have some amazing players, Ronaldo is on another planet at the moment, Isco is an excellent young player and Kroos is controlling games.

When you watch Bayern or Barca it's constant moving, little triangles all over the pitch, players having a few options when in possession, Madrid are the complete opposite. Unless they are breaking at pace then no one shows for a pass, they all stand around waiting for the ball. The amount of times they pass each other into trouble incredible for a team of this quality. However it works for them and they have the players who can beat a man then make a pass.

Having said all that, I would much rather watch them than the tippy tappy football of the last 5 years.
