Champions League: Semi-finals 20. - 28.4. 2010

2-0 Bayern (olic)

3-0 aggregate

3-0 now on the night (4-0 agg) Olic hat trick

[Shaggy]

Olic reminds me so much of Dirk. No pace, not the most skilful or technical, but full of running, seems to make the right decision most of the time and scores big goals. I wonder if the Bayern fans have the same debates about him.

Bayern - Inter final then, looks like...unless Barca can score a hatfull.

Barca are more than capable of having that tie won by half time let alone full time. Should be interesting.

Looking forward to it, they know what they have to do anyway, but if any one can stifle a team like Barca it's Maureen.

Franck Ribery banned for Champions League final

Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery is set to miss the Champions League final on 22 May after being banned for three games.
The midfielder missed Tuesday's 3-0 semi-final, second leg victory over Lyon after being sent off in the first tie in Germany, which Bayern won 1-0.
Bayern had hoped Uefa would restrict the Frenchman's ban to one match.
His club have three days to launch an appeal against his suspension for the final, which will be against either Barcelona or Inter Milan in Madrid

The ban also covers the first European match next season.
Ribery was shown a straight red card by Italian referee Roberto Rosetti in the 37th minute for a tackle on Lyon's Lisandro Lopez at the Allainz Arena.

Shame really, you want the best players playing if possible.

Can't wait for tonight, I would LOVE to see Barca destroy Inter.

Before the first leg I said Inter had a good chance and I would now make them pretty clear favorites. However I have changed my mind and want Barca to win now (largely due to the increased calls for Jose to manage us).

Slick fast surface, doesn't matter how deep Inter defend tonight Barca will win. They will try to boot Messi off the park but doubt they will get away with it, could cost them. Can't wait. C'mon Barca

In our absence I just want the best team to win, which clearly to my mind Barcelona are. The Mourinho factor just makes me want them to win even more - I'll be about as pumped up tonight as it gets when it comes to a non-LFC game (not including cheering for whoever's playing the Mancs).

no pace? he's fast as hell mate, ok cris isn't the fastest player around but olić made him look extra slow when he took the ball from him only for that awful (reminds me of kuyt) muller to miss

no debates, he was a free transfer, they love him

[Shaggy]

Olic is ****ing slow mate. He reminds me of Nigel Jemson.
