Bayern and Barca for Classic Showdown but do Real have it Easy with Juventus?

There we have it. We have our SEMIS, and it was the EXACT one I hoped for...which is rare as I usually don't get what I want. But on one hand is a super-heavyweight clash and another is a more intriguing clash, which people seem to think is a forgeone conclusion...but is it?

All the eyes will be on Pep Baldiola going back to the team he built. Something that I always wanted to see, which was whether he could be able to beat the team and nullify players he knows so well. Also, it would be a chance for barcelona to get some revenge against a team that tore them TWO new ones under the great Heynckes. It's the tie that has so much in it and as far trying to put out a call, it's next to impossible to do so.

Barcelona have the most lethal attack in football whilst Bayern as a team have no weaknesses and are strong from back to front. But the one little concept that makes me lean very slightly towards Barcelona is that they have faced a very good team in PSG and smoked them TWICE. Bayern are yet to face what I would consider a top team. So yes, they have ripped apart three teams now, but none of them are even near the level of a full-strength Barcelona.

Now, the other one. Madrid fans are already celebrating they are in the final. It is what they wanted, they are the holders and Serie A is where drug deals and not football is made. Well, Madrid need to think long and hard before underestimating Juventus. Yes, Madrid are the stronger team overall, but they are going up against a team who don't concede a lot, and IF Carlito and Morata are fit, that is a threat that can catch Madrid out if they have one of their bad days.

The final that everyone, not me included, wants to see is the Clasico. It almost happened some years back but Chelsea and Bayern said NAH. This is the best opportunity both teams may have. Bayern have shown they can rip that ass but can also get exposed whilst this is new territory for Juventus who haven't been here for twelve years.

As for myself, the final I would like to see is Juventus against Barcelona, as I prefer having two teams from different leagues and the whole attack versus defence setup will make for a more interesting game. But, it could easily be a Bayern and Madrid rematch in Final form with Baldiola wanting to get in his own personal history and do some booty slapping...served with a slice of revenge pudding.....
