So is Pep an average manager without Robben/Messi? ;) I kid, but seriously.

Morata is a monster. He deserves a goal.

Juve just sheds these Bayern defenders like nothing.

Is it just me or are Bayern kind of a slow side? Lahm, Vidal, Alonso, Ribery, Mueller, Lewandowski..none of them really add loads of pace to the equation.

Dinosaur Alonso finally out. Don't see what he's brought all game. One of the most overrated players in the game.

Costa, Coman and Robben are burners, though Robben obviously is not there.

Whatever happens, Arsenal has to be happy with what they showed over both legs against the best team in the world.

I wonder when nowadays' coaches will choose to have two central strikers against teams that park the bus.
Italian teams understood that in the catenaccio days (the famous one tall-one short partnership).

I think Ribery and Muller are reasonably quick in that they both have two footed-ness and don't have to spend time working the ball around to a favored foot.

Against a team like Juventus right now I don't think Bayern are tall enough to score from open play, which is one of the flaws of Pep's style when it comes to facing an extremely organized defense.
