We would be in the final!!Winner of Atletico-Dortmund faces winner of PSG-Barcelona in semifinal. Ok. That sucks
Dortmund have a better keeper, Fulkrug and Sabitzer doing their thing. However Terzi a garbage coach. Emre Can is straight the worst player in football. Provided no injuries or suspensions Inter winning both legs. Wouldve been a hilarious match up for me all the same.Apart from rfu i have probably watched more Dortmund games than rest of the forum. They're not a bad team by any means. But they have certain limitations. We would have been the big favorites in that fixture. We have better quality in almost all areas.
I feel both will make it to Semies.I got a feeling either PSG or Bayern will make it.
We didn't have an easy groupWe had a very nice draw last season, and this season we had an easy group and a tough but a beatable opponent in the last 16. Nothing to be sorry about imo Great season, we are contenders again, a lot to be positive about if financial stuff don't sink us
"Easy" is probably not accurate, especially in hindsight. Actually knowing how it all went down, one more strong team and we might have ended up in 3rd.We didn't have an easy group
Benfica was that strong team (not now, but then definitely) who had a bad run."Easy" is probably not accurate, especially in hindsight. Actually knowing how it all went down, one more strong team and we might have ended up in 3rd.
Sure, I agree. Somebody will always be a favourite. But it's not like any of the remaining 8 teams (7 if you hypothetically progress Inter forward) are considerably worse than us. There would be easier opponents, but no easy opponent. If we played like we did against Atletico in both ties, we aren't beating this DortmundApart from rfu i have probably watched more Dortmund games than rest of the forum.

That's football. Great sides always find chances. The problem isn't getting to the chances, it's the execution (and also Thuram losing the ball because of necessary flicks which meant less possible chances for us)Atletico shut us down, it's not that we played poorly.
We demonstrated that we could have had a few scoring chances and our goal also was a usual Inter goal this season.
If anything that game confirmed that we are a great side, managed to be dangerous even if the similar quality opposition played almost perfectly.

Disagree on the mentality, no one coverts every chancee 100% of the time and of course atmosphere contributed - that’s footballI'd say that, away game atmosphere made more difference than anything else. Atletico was still quite vulnerable despite playing "perfectly", sadly we couldn't take advantage of that because we were too weak mentally and most of times ran away from responsibility. We have struggled quite a lot in these kind of intense matches, and I wish that our players would be able to overcome times like this.
