I can assure you that I won't enjoy a single second of either game unless we're like 3-0 ahead.
As long as we register a shot on target or even off target at the Bernabeu I will be content

Great games to be had though, think I favour Chelsea to actually win the CL this season.

Barca will win this easily imo. Spurs may get some joy vs Real, they're not as good as is made out.
Barca vs Man Utd final, with Barca having a relatively straightforward win. I think Shaktar (who are under rated) will pose more of a threat to them than Man Utd as they're technically excellent and very good on the counter

What are the fixture dates ?
read the first post
Its red nose day of course, you fit right in
( they MIGHT be capable of getting to the final - but they would only stand a chance of winning against Spurs - either of the Spanish teams will rip Chelsea apart currently, unless their form improves dramatically imo)
Soldato
Sorry, hadn't checked since posting at the bottom.
I'm here for the first leg, in the Amazon jungle for the 2nd leg. I hope they have a signal out there haha.

All Spurs need to do is stop Ronaldo, that's it. They haven't got anyone else for them to be worried about. Bale vs Ramos could be entertaining though.

Any team can beat any other team. Don't right anyone off. I fancy an all London final at Wembley, with Spurs to break some Chelsea hearts.

Ooh 2nd leg of semi final is on 3/4 May. Could be the best Birthday ever !!
Yeah, Real are shocking at the back, Marcelo (lol) vs Lennon will be a blood bath (and I don't rate Lennon, Marcelo is just that bad) and Bale vs Ramos will be even worse. Spurs have a real chance
Man of Honour
only if you get as dodgy reffing decisions in the CL as you do in the EPL
Dodgy, never, we'll be there at the end.

Will Higuain be back by then?

Everything's played to Ronaldo when he's on the pitch. If Spurs can stop him they really do stand a good chance of progressing.
Soldato
No. Real have conceded 3 goals in the CL this season, all away.

Madrid supporter here. Lifelong as well
I am well happy of playing Spurs for two reasons. Their keeper and defence are well suspect so it should be interesting. I am also quite happy as Spurs are an attacking team so it should be fun to watch whatever the result.
Saying that Ronaldo is our only threat is laughable at best. We have got Ozil, who has been outstanding, Di Maria, Benzema, Xabi Alonso, Marcelo, Adebayor … plenty of threats for any team to deal with. We have been quite solid in defence (when Pepe doesn’t go berserk!) for the most part and we have got depth of squad in that respect. Albiol, Garay, Arbeola, Carvalho, Ramos and Pepe are all pretty good. Midfield is our weakest link with Xabi Alonso as out main man and Khedira as his main support man. Granero is a decent replacement for Alonso and Lass for Khedira but am not so confident in them.
Saying Marcelo is a liability could have been true last year but not this one. The bloke has really stepped up a notch this season and he has been good at defence and outstanding when attacking. Ramos is very good when he gets his head down and does as he is told, he has been inconsistent sometimes through the year but who knows what will happen.
I don’t think Spurs will get rip to shreds like someone has mentioned though. It should be tighter than that and that is what makes this competition the best. You play against the best, if you prefer to play the weakest teams go and play the FA Trophy!
