Champions League

Too high. I would have it 55-45 in favor of Pool, though I expect RM to win.

You don't think Liverpool can have the mental edge? I think a big changer in a bad way for Madrid is there is no home game. Are they going to play in PSG stadium?

I am afraid Liverpools lack of midfield culture will be their downfall. Modric and co will step it up for a game. Plus Camavinga against tired legs looks deadly.

Thiago is there. Fabinho is great on the ball for a DM.

What lack of culture lol? Thiago is the definition of that term whatever it means

Liverpool summed up:
1) Win the ball in midfield.
2) Overload either wing.
3) Play a long-ball.

Looked almost painful vs Villarreal for example. They couldn't cope though, I imagine Madrid in a final will.

what would the current LFC RM combined 11 look like?

Allison

TAA
Alaba
VVD
Robertson

Fabinho
Modric (as this is a fantasy team this midfield is fine but in reality it needs legs, so I'd start Camavinga over Modric or Thiago if this team was to play on a pitch)
Thiago

Salah
Benzema (though I wouldn't swap him for Mane in our team)
Vini (though I wouldn't swap him in our team for Diaz)

I have watched the highlights of City Real again, it's unbelievable guys but it's amazing how confident Real played. It's not normal to create so many chances against City, Vini and Benz have missed a lot. I underrated Real Madrid, thought they would be crap against Liverpool or City but no, they played like a serial cl winner. I hate to say it guys but they deserve to be in final!

You know, if RM win a CL without CR7 with much of the same old core... :mou:

I don't think there'll be a bigger Pool fan than you on 5/28

Matip over Alaba as a CB anyday even if Alaba is a better Footballer

I am confused about the new CL format UEFA just approved starting 2024. 36 teams in a big league (instead of group stages)? Each teams get to play 8 games against 8 different teams, 4 home and 4 away but against which teams? How to determine what teams each team gets to play against?
