Come on Real

[Cripps_orig]

Vidic isn't even in the squad

[Özil's Panoramic View]

I hope CR7 will prove that he's still the 2nd best player in the world by scoring a hat-trick or at least a brace against his old club.

Come on RM

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hala Madrid!

[Master Splinter]

I was tipping United for a shock draw or even a win, but Fergie's inclusion of non-footballers like Jones and Wellshit could backfire. Even though his pub selections usually pay off. 2-1 to Real Madrid.

Shakhtar haven't played a competitive game for over 2 months and Will I An has left. Dortmund to kill them on the break. Sahin on the bench . 0-2 Dortmund.

I hope CR7 will prove that he's still the 2nd best player in the world by scoring a hat-trick or at least a brace against his old club.

Yeah, it's a shame he had to be born in an era when another guy even better than him was around to destroy every footballing record.

Bale .

Plane crash in Ukraine apparently, taking fans to the Dortmund game.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Modric the biggest bureaucratic irrelevance since Nasri.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Yeah, it's a shame he had to be born in an era when another guy even better than him was around to destroy every footballing record.

Bale .

He really does have an unfair advantage though; being half man, half chimp ie.
