Well, now I want to see how Ribéry still wants to go to this "big" Real Rolling Eyes

They never should have fired Schuster imo. He already began to build a TEAM, but without time you can't build anything. Still he managed to win the domestic league, so I don't understand this move at all. Pelligrini is weird anyway. I simply don't like the club anymore. Toy Soldier camp...

Now we must hear how Real Madrid lost this game and Lyon did not deserve it as it was Real Madrid who lost Sad

Obviously not what I was rooting for, but hey, Lyon deserved it. Chapeau Exclamation

All I can say is that it's a huge disappointment, but my dislike of Florentino* keeps me from seeing this as totally negative. All you French fans, and my friend in Paris, live it up tonight, carpe the victory grin

*In 2003, Real won the league and went out in the semifinals of the CL to Juventus. Del Bosque was fired, presumably for not being "mediatic" enough. Thus was born the "Del Bosque curse" alluded to by bbi. Hierro was retired, and the "central defender" curse was born--none forthcoming in years who is as good as Hierro. Makelele left because he wanted a salary somewhere in the ballpark of Beckham's. So Real, under Florentino, became a team for which glamor was more important than futbol. Now Florentino is back, and while his management has been smarter with regard to building a team, it seems the team must win it all immediately or the "project" is a failure. Let's see if he sticks with Pelligrini. Let's see if he sticks with his players. Show some backbone, Florentino Exclamation

well with Milan takeing a 4 - 0 I shouldn't say anything about Real. But still, what a waste of money in order to accomplish nothing.

Well Played Lyon Fantastic and further proof that it takes more than money to build a team.

I won't mock Madrid just yet but someone needs to tell Senor Perez that a good defence is as important as expensive attackers.

I guess Madrid will now be very anxious and hoping that Barca do not retain the trophy in the Bernabeu.

Anyway for now i think we should just praise Lyon who in all fairness should have won the game.

well, let's be honnest, Madrid should have done the job at half time, but for the credit of OL, it was a totally different team in the second half which was much more balanced and I think that Lyon had the best chances (and I don't speak about the 2 big chances in the injury time when Real were not defending anymore).
So at the end, let's say that it's a deserved qualification based on 3 half-times out of 4, but Madrid could have made the difference in 45 mn only.

Big success for Lyon who at last eliminate a big club in KO games. Football is curious. We had much better teams in the past, but they were acting like diesels (very consistent but unable to go over their limits in the big games) whereas it looks like that this one, although weaker, has more soul, more heart.

I feel sorry for Real Madrid and I find your comments (generally speaking) a bit harsh for them. It's a beautiful team with great players (CR9 obviously). They will recover from this and come back even stronger next season.

At last, but not the least, our women won their quarters (1st leg) in the Women Champions League 3-0 vs. an Italian team. Good day for Lyon!

Thank you Olympique Lyon for this result, you made my day!! Very Happy

Too bad Lisandro and Delgado didn't make at least one from those huge chances....An away win would be the cherry on the cake.

Also, I'm glad that a "Liechtenstein guy" showed to the fiasco of football how you can dance at the prom of millions. Very Happy

Another thing, at first when I heard of the "Galacticos" I thought it had something to do with milk, as "Gala" in Greek means milk, due to their white jersey and quality.....now they can be called the perfect "milk-shake"....see ya next year fellas, with your new transfers that will frighten the football world and not only...

Oh, and who their next unfortunate coach will be? Mourinho? Rolling Eyes

I think I read somewhere about his big desire to win a Spanish title....

One question. R.Madrid failed in the last 6 seasons to reach cuarter finals.
How can R.Madrid this year get 21 points in the ranking and the other years 15? Remember this year they did not beat Milan in the 2 games of the group stage too.
