That’s the only logical way. What media was reporting about 2nd leg in Lisbon made zero sense.

That set up doesnt really favor us. It benefits the likes of Atletico, PSG or Bayern more imo.
Also with it being in Lissabon I would not be surprised if everything went perfect for CR again like in 2016.

Why? One game has more luck factor. We have better chance to win. Messi can win any game by himself. Two games. Very hard.

How does it?
You mean Lisbon 2014? Ronaldo was shocking in that game, had to be bailed out by teammates, he doesn’t have that luxury this time with that Juve squad.

It's hard to tell. Bayern is already champion and Bundesliga is almost finished. They only have 3 games left. They will have enough rest but will lack game rhythm.
La Liga will be finished July 19th., so Bar?a will have 2 and a half weeks rest before they face Napoli.
Ligue 1 is cancelled. PSG can play friendlies what they want. You can't compare it with championship games. They already had difficulties when facing tougher opponents in CL because they were only used to play against farmers.
I'd say "smaller teams" (on the paper) like Atalanta and Leipzig have a good chance to go far because anything can happen in one game. Especially Leipzig has a very dangerous style and can hurt every team with their fast transition game.
If I had to bet money today, I'd put my money on Bayern.

Busi and Vidal are suspended for the return match.
With Napoli very likely to park the bus, I feel that this is our best lineup for this match (Suarez is guaranteed to start).
(4312) MATS---Bob, Pique, Lenglet, Alba--- Rakitic, DJ, Puig--- Messi---Griezmann, Suarez
I hope we start trying this in the remaining La Liga matches when DJ comes back.

More likely Semedo RB and Bob instead of Puig, no?

Having seen what Setien did for the past 6 months, I agree that Semedo at RB and Bob in CM is more likely with Puig likely coming in at the 2nd half.
I'm really hoping that doesn't happen.

Atletico will win the whole thing. 
.
It's meant to be. Coutinho leaves Liverpool, they win the CL. Griezmann leaves Atletico, they win the CL.
No, it's for veterans to get smashed to pieces every year.

It's also not for veterans that have lost 4-0 twice, and 3-0 twice in the last few years. We repeat the same line ups, expect the same results.

Messi, Griezmann and Semedo all 1 yellow away from missing the next match.
Messi gets a yellow and we face Bayern without him.

Yes true especially the nightmare we will face. It's not for kids to watch.
