The only way I see Real not getting into the final is if they draw Barca in the Semis. I hope that doesn't happen- an El Clasico CL final would be immense.

Sorry, mate, but..........no.

Just no!

Over the two legs, Real Madrid have been by far the better team. Atletico only really got into the game at the Vicente Calderon in the last 20 minutes or so and they created next to nothing tonight.

We don't have to like Real Madrid to be able to acknowledge that they were comfortably the more deserving team in this tie.

Hope Athletico players now maim a few of them cheats.

To be honest, I think both teams are as bad as each other. Real were the bigger offenders tonight but Atletico were the more culpable in the first leg, IMO. Barca are no better, for that matter. Gamesmanship at every turn. It's one of the things that most puts me off La Liga. I can't bear it. They should all be ashamed of themselves. Such a pity, because the football can be sublime.

I think they have a chance only with Juve. I expected more from Juventus, thought they will destroy Monaco, even didn't know Tevez and Evra are playing for them. Anyway...

Juve in the semis! :D

It was a bore draw, but I couldn't give a damn.

Out of the 3 I think I'd rather play Real, as they can be got at. Bayern and Barca are just too strong.

Such a classic match up too, the match in the Bernabeu where Del Piero tore them to pieces and the Real Madrid faithful gave him a standing ovation is one of my favourite football memories.

I'm almost certain Ronaldo jumped over Hernandez after the goal. Hernandez was waiting on the ground for his team mates to bundle him in celebration and Ronaldo just jumped over him and ran to the crowd with his arms up like he'd just scored the goal himself. If that's what happened, then that goes to show what a **** he is on the pitch.

I'm pretty sure it was James actually

Bayern have a positive record against every other team left. That said, I still think they'll go out to Barca

Okay with that draw. None of them were going to be easy but I think Real can be got at more than the other two.

Last season we played them in the group stage, and I felt that in our matches against them we were evenly matched desptie losing and drawing, and they had all their strongest team too. We're better this year and they're not, so I'm hoping we can surprise them.

We're a pretty good all round team. We have quality in defence, midfield and up front. Madrid are far better in attack, but our midfield is about equal and their defence is weaker. It's going to make for a really interesting tie.

Really looking forward to see how Barca get on. I think they will have their revenge over Bayern.
