Bayern beat Real Madrid 2-1 to progress 4-4 on away goal rule. I'd say it's curtains for Real's coach.

I was tipping that he would be the player of the world cup last year, but didn't really fire.
He is an absolute star. I'm surprised Roman hasn't been offering him oil fields to move to SW London!

Liverpool, great cup tradition.
Man U & Chelski will be stronger
No doubt UEFA will change the rules if all EPL final, already talking about reducing the number of EPL teams that qualify from next year

Hey JTC good work our your recent contributions to the REAL FOOTBALL threads!
I'd be disappointed to see the number of EPL teams in the CL reduced. The EPL and to a lesser extent La Liga and Serie A are where the real interest lies IMO. Personally, I really only follow the EPL sides closely in the CL. After that, its really just certain players that I follow outside the EPL.
TV Ratings would be diminished if the number of EPL teams was reduced, and going by this seasons results of all 4 EPL sides progressing through the group stages and 3 progressing to the final 8, the EPL is really the premier competition in Europe. The comp deserves to field 4 sides due to its quality and track record of winners.
I'd like to see Liverpool win the Cup.

Platini is now the new president, whilst a great French player, his dislike of the English is well known. His idea is to reduce the EPL and the La Liga (I think) to 3 teams, and let the smaller footballing nations in, as opposed to the current system where they have to qualify in the knock out rounds.

Spot on C_P. Used the votes of the lesser nations (in football terms only), by promising reform that would get them into the CL, but I think his motives may have been a bit devious and ulterior.

Any chance it's because Platini and his cohorts are sick of seeing their nations best footballers taken to other, more financial leagues, thus putting their own comps further behind the 8-Ball (Given the CL is often a major factor in choosing clubs in Europe) ... Ie, they see this as their initial way of trying to bridge the gap with EPL and La Liga etc?
