GWT: Champions League Semi-Finals

[Bon Esprit]

Game over Pep 0-Athletico, Real, Barca 3

Adios Pep. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Least fitting post of the day.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Pep still the best

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Three years in a row he couldn't get it done. Most overrated manager in sports.

 

[Virtanen18]

He just smacked the UEFA official on the arm for not letting him make a sub.

Doesn't really equate to "pure trash" lol

LMAO. Sure mate.

I see no issues with classifying hitting an official as pure trash...

 

[Panteras]

goodbye Bayern, I love it. Hope Atleti wins this.

Grats Atletico. Simeone is a C-word, though, capital C.

That's part of what makes him so good. An absolute refusal to lose, sometimes he gets carried away. He should have been allowed to make the sub though to be fair.

At this point, he's inferior to Simeone who does more with less. At least during his Munich stretch.
And I do hate defensive football.

Cool story bro.

Without him they wouldn't be where they are today. He's been in a remarkable form in recent weeks

It's a what if game, no less.

Seconded.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Here's hoping for a City - Atletico final.

Riiight because winning is so easy against these teams. Did the same manager win 3 years running?

 

[Evilo]

I really dislike Atletico's ways and all, but given the final 4 I want them to win. City? Real?
No thanks !

I'm sure the official will be alright.

A lot of old Bayern fans are glad to see him go.

Imagine where they'd be with a real threat? Wouldn't that be something.

No, I strongly disagree. Simeone doesn't do more with less. His team was overall outplayed in this tie - and that's as much as his preparation can account for.

 

[Live in the Now]

Simeone will have a grand catenaccio planned for the Final. I do not believe for one second that he will allow the game to be finished the same way the 2014 Final was.

Yup, what have you done for me lately.

Two CL finals (at least), a Liga title and a good challenge to Barca and Real in this year's race.
Somehow you don't feel it's more than what Guardiola's done with Munich?

And with a quarter of his ressources player wise?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

LMAO. Sure mate.

How can you be the best manager in the world when you can't even get the best squad in the world to the final three straight seasons?

Besides walking into the best player in the world in his prime, Pep has done nothing to deserve this reputation. His team's play nice football, but so do Arsene Wenger's.

 

[Pouchkine]

Just want to say that the 2nd penalty was the right call. Yes the first contact was outside the box but then Martinez made another contact with his right foot on the line which is part of the penalty box. When two fouls occur "simultaneously" the referee has to call the most serious one. So right call there. Big big failure by Pep and what an awful game by Ribery, this team isn't the same without Robben.

Atletico what can you say...incredible and Simeone what an idiot just the same as when he was playing a nutcase a cheater a crazy maniac and let's hope UEFA do their job and ban him for the final.

Overall I'm happy with the result and it was an entertaining game.
