Day 01:Inter v/s Spurs
Inter-4 Spurs-3

A very entertaining game and Bale's hat-trick was the highlight. It was sad that the Spurs lost the game by 1 goal.

Day 01- Your favourite match - Bayern Munich 2-3 Inter , 2nd leg of the second round

Inter progressed on the away goals rule after a stunning comeback in the dying stages , the winner coming from Goran Pandev .

Day 25- A match which was Barcelona's worst ever in the tournament

Don't single out teams like the one you've done here . This Champions League is already a small tournament with so many common answers expected from our members . If you single out a team , then it makes the answers even more matching .

Day 01 - Your Favorite Match: Bayern Munich 2-3 Inter Milan (Last 16, 2nd Leg)

Both teams opted to attack(especially Inter as they need to win) and coupled with horrible defending from both sides throughout the game, it led to an open and incredibly entertaining game. The result could have easily gone Bayern's way but Inter were more clinical with their chances when it really mattered.

My day 02:Inter V/S Bayer Munchen 1st leg of Last 16.

Munchen sneaking a last goal and Inter's poor play was not a very good match for me.

Day 01 - Your Favorite Match: Bayern Munich 2-3 Inter Milan (Last 16, 2nd Leg)

Day 02 - Your Least Favorite Match: Real Madrid 0-2 Barcelona (Semi Final, 2nd Leg)

It's supposed to be one of the best matches in the Champions League with two of the best teams in Europe facing each other but instead, we see playacting, diving, harassment of referees, fighting on the touchline and among others.

Mourinho's extremely negative tactics also did not help matter one bit. Messi's brilliant goals was the only bright spark from the game. Otherwise, the whole game was just painful to watch!

By the way, the challenge for Day 2 and Day 4 is a bit redundant.

 

[Haarithan]

Day 01- Your favourite match - Bayern Munich 2-3 Inter - Round of 16 , 2nd leg

Day 02 - Your Least Favorite Match: AS Roma 2-3 Shakthar Donetsk - Round of 16 , 1st leg

Roma did everything right than defending well in that match . Riise was dreadful then .

Day 2 and 4 are not redundant Jason , this is your most hated match , while day 4 talks through your most boring match .

Day 2 and 4 are not redundant Jason , this is your most hated match , while day 4 talks through your most boring match .

"Least favorite" could easily mean you don't like a match because it's boring. It's not necessarily pointing to a match you hate most.

 

[JBlues08]

Day 01 - Your Favorite Match: Bayern Munich 2-3 Inter Milan (Last 16, 2nd Leg)
Day 02 - Your Least Favorite Match: Marseille 1-0 Chelsea (Group Stage, 6th Game)

Day 03 - A Match That Made You Remember A Player: Inter Milan 4-3 Tottenham (Gareth Bale)

Well, we already know him for what he does in the Premier League but his amazing hat-trick at the San Siro is one to remember and one that made him being noticed by the other top clubs in Europe.

Day 01- Your favourite match - Bayern Munich 2-3 Inter - Round of 16 , 2nd leg
Day 02 - Your Least Favorite Match: AS Roma 2-3 Shakthar Donetsk - Round of 16 , 1st leg

Day 03 - A Match That Made You Remember A Player: Inter Milan 4-3 Tottenham (Gareth Bale)

Pretty obvious .

My Day 03:Manchester United V/S Schalke 04 1st leg Semi-finals

Manuel Neuer

It showed Neuer's class and it was that moment that United's goalkeeping coach felt proud.

Day 01 - Your Favorite Match: Bayern Munich 2-3 Inter Milan (Last 16, 2nd Leg)
Day 02 - Your Least Favorite Match: Real Madrid 0-2 Barcelona (Semi Final, 2nd Leg)
Day 03 - A Match That Made You Remember A Player: Inter Milan 4-3 Tottenham (Gareth Bale)

Decided to switch my choice for Day 2 and Day 4.

Day 02 - Your Least Favorite Match: Real Madrid 0-2 Barcelona (Semi Final, 2nd Leg)

It's supposed to be one of the best matches in the Champions League with two of the best teams in Europe facing each other but instead, we see playacting, diving, harassment of referees, fighting on the touchline and among others.

Mourinho's extremely negative tactics also did not help matter one bit. Messi's brilliant goals was the only bright spark from the game. Otherwise, the whole game was just painful to watch!

Day 04- A Match That You Felt Was The Most Boring: Marseille 1-0 Chelsea (Group Stage, 6th Game)

Didn't choose this because we lost but the game was just poor to watch. We already secured 1st place and so does Marseille with 2nd. So, the game was played out in a boring manner and even the goal Marseille scored had a little bit of luck in it.

Day 01- Your favourite match - Bayern Munich 2-3 Inter - Round of 16 , 2nd leg
Day 02 - Your Least Favorite Match: AS Roma 2-3 Shakthar Donetsk - Round of 16 , 1st leg
Day 03 - A Match That Made You Remember A Player: Inter Milan 4-3 Tottenham (Gareth Bale)

Day 04- A Match That You Felt Was The Most Boring: Man Utd 4-1 Schalke (Semifinal, 2nd leg)

Having already wrapped things up in Gelsenkirchen , there was little left for Utd to progress to the final . Still , the way in which they made the tie an absolute one sider especially given it was a semifinal deserves a .

 

[Bevab]

My day 04:Chelsea V/S Marseille

The same as Jason's. Chelsea were poor and Marseille also did not deserve much to win.

Day 01- Your favourite match - Bayern Munich 2-3 Inter - Round of 16 , 2nd leg
Day 02 - Your Least Favorite Match: AS Roma 2-3 Shakthar Donetsk - Round of 16 , 1st leg

Day 04- A Match That You Felt Was The Most Boring: Man Utd 4-1 Schalke (Semifinal, 2nd leg)

Day 05- A player who made the biggest howler - Heurelho Gomes , Tottenham 0-1 Real Madrid (Quarter final , 2nd leg)

He's made countless number of errors this season and this was one more added to his collection . That own goal was pretty much the final nail in the coffin for Spurs .

Day 01 - Your Favorite Match: Bayern Munich 2-3 Inter Milan (Last 16, 2nd Leg)
Day 02 - Your Least Favorite Match: Real Madrid 0-2 Barcelona (Semi Final, 2nd Leg)
Day 03 - A Match That Made You Remember A Player: Inter Milan 4-3 Tottenham (Gareth Bale)
Day 04- A Match That You Felt Was The Most Boring: Marseille 1-0 Chelsea (Group Stage, 6th Game)

Day 05- A Player Who Made The Biggest Howler: Heurelho Gomes (Tottenham 0-1 Real Madrid - Quarter Final , 2nd leg)

Same choice as Haarithan. A simple shot from Ronaldo for Gomes to save but he fluffed it and the ball went into the net. One of the many mistakes he made towards the end of last season.
