Barca were eliminated in the semis on each of those occasions.

Atleti still have three games to go where a lot can happen instead of just one final game.

I would love to see
Bayern vs Barca, pep vs his old team
Chelsea vs madrid, mou vs his old team

Atletico vs Chelsea is an Italian manager's wet dream :coffee:

Real vs Bayern final would be so entertaining. Wouldnt mind to see Atletico vs Bayern final though. Chelsea most boring of the teams.

Bayern to retain the CL for the first time ever pls :bow:

Didnt remember Man U knocked us out in 2008? Wasnt semi for sure even if so....

I think this is the first time since Pep that we failed to get into the semis? Sad

Really really hoping for this:

Chelsea-Real Madrid
Bayern-Atletico

Same Sepi.

Any other outcome has been done before and i'm not one to want to see the same teams face each other again and again.

United beat Barca in the semi on the back of a Scholes wonder strike. United went to face Chelsea in the final after winning 1-0 on aggregate.

Your second piece of information is correct I believe. This is the first time Barca haven't made the semis in a while now.

chelsea-atletico final please

Madrid derby in the final would be brilliant.

Hopefully that scumbag club Chelsea don't fluke their way to another final.

It would be great if Atleti won the whole thing. This seasons Dortmund Proud

League and CL double. For a club like Atletico, I'd say that would probably be the biggest achievement in football for a long time.

In the scenario that we get drawn against A Madrid, I wonder if Courtois will be allowed to play against us bearing in mind he started the Super Cup but I think that was a one off?

by urbaNRoots Wed Apr 09, 2014 5:09 pm

He will be eligible against Chelsea

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2601068/Thibaut-Courtois-eligible-play-against-Chelsea-Atletico-Madrid-Champions-League-semi-finals.html

Although the Premier League allow parent clubs to forbid their players from playing against them, UEFA have no such ruling, which is why Courtois was able to take part in Atleti's 4-1 Super Cup victory against Chelsea in 2012.

He wouldn't be eligible.

Unless of course Chelsea allow him to play, which is unlikely.

EDIT: I'm getting conflicting reports ffs

He will be.

Chelsea should have requested it prior to the start of the season. They can't disallow him now.

Also, he did play vs. Chelsea in the super-cup a couple of years ago.

Ah fair enough then.

I'm certain Chelsea will be in the final no matter who they get.

My reason? I cant remember last time an EPL side was not involved in neither CL or EL final! They always seem to get one team in them

According to a Cadena COPE, Atletico will have to pay €9m if they want to play Courtois against Chelsea. (@partidodelas12 sauce)

Absolutely hilarious if true. Chelsea :bow:

by Blue Wed Apr 09, 2014 5:45 pm

The90thMin ‏@90thMin 1m
According to ATM's President, if they face Chelsea, Courtois would not be allowed to play unless ATM paid an "unpayable" amount. #cfc

by El Chelsea Fuerte Wed Apr 09, 2014 5:46 pm

pathetico better pay up 25m pounds if thats the case

thought they could eliminate us with courtois for free LOLz
