Do you have a link to that? Was it 100% of his wages or did Milan offer the best share of his wages?

Any of the top teams can give each other problems but wouldnt give Chelsea too much credit in that CL win a few years ago.

Ancelotti makes them different.

It was 100% of his wages but Milan struggled to pay the installments IIRC.

He has probably made them worse if last season is anything to go by.

They stood up better to a team of Real Madrid's quality than they ever did under Pep.
It's not about fearing your opponent, but not underestimating them either.
They've made some good signings although they still need a winger, but they have improved their team. So has Real Madrid and so would Atlético if they land Costa and Fabinho.
Meanwhile we have the Lord coming back and another one possibly joining from China.
Valverde's not experienced in the CL against such teams either and not even helping him out by improving the starting XI is pathetic.

That deal is painful to recall even now. The thought that we could have just paid those 40m to get Villa and keep Eto'o at the same time... We coul have won 3 CLs in a row..

Real were still the better side although momentum with them at point of red card in second game.
They finished below Atletico in group and just didnt look as good as when watched them last season. Players like Boateng and Alaba just didnt seem as good to me while Alonso and Lahm have retired and likes of Robben and Ribery are old.
Dont think Bayern are becoming a better side. For me they look worse but still very good and not a huge amount between the top sides now anyway.
That is independent of Barca though who need new players as well.

Bayern certainly knows how to do business. Never overpaying.

This also made Real little weaker. Now their depth definitely is not looking that great. But still leagues ahead of us. Isco will get more minutes now and he will finally turn into a key player for them. With kovacic being the backup for Modric. But if they sign cabellos it will be back to amazing.

l don't agree with you, just because players like Alonso, Lahm and Ribery did nothing vs Real, only Robben made difference. After all, Bayern gave away many chances to Real, thanks to Lahm, Alonso, Ribery and Robben, who did nothing defensively. Above all, red cards exposed them more.
Nobody helped Alaba, who defended alone vs 2 or 3 players. Ribery didn't help the defence, Alonso defensively is zero.

They sold James Rodriguez on a trial for a half Naby Keita.
I'm not sure that's a "nice deal" for them.
