Champions League 25/26

[Loki]

In the 20 editions of the European Cup (Champions League) after 2005, Barcelona and Real Madrid won 10/20 editions. With Barcelona winning 4 and Real Madrid winning 6, this shows the dominance of the Clasico clubs during this era. This is also proven further by Barcelona reaching 10/20 semi finals and Real Madrid reaching 12/20 semi finals. Also Spanish football flourished during this time period with 3 European Championships and 1 World Cup. Dominance.

Sadly this won't be repeatable anymore, if on the one hand dirty money from all over the world bloats the PL up and season after season, the distance grows and on the other hand, the corrupt imbecile Tebas leads LaLiga. It was nice while it lasted.

Arsenal and Bayern are probably the best in-form teams itw, Bayern did well by beating PSG, lets see if they can beat Arsenal too, expecting a draw

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

So far PSG hasn't look the same team as last season. Bayern and Arsenal the best.

We are not winning at the Bridge.

You sure about that?

 

[Birdy]

You sure about that?

Not entirely.
If we play as before the break, yes we will lose big time

But against Bilbao I saw different hunger and energy.
If we show that face again, then game is up for grabs

Let's see

You are covering all bases. If we lose you will say we looked like before break.

What do you think of their XI?

I only fear Caicedo tbf.

Caicedo-Enzo is WC base, and Caicedo himself is a beast

Joao Pedro is WC as well, such intelligent movement and activation of the right spaces at every moment. Reminds me of Firmino

Their weak spot is hands down their defense and keeper.
We can hit them really hard there if we play well. we can overwhelm them at the back.

I see a high-scoring game, FDJ needs to step up and control every facet of our play from deep, especially in the absence of Pedri, while Lamine Rashford and whoever plays CF need to be clinical with the chances

Does WC mean world class?

Does WC mean world class?

Yes

 

[jamrock]

Yes

Okay I read Joao Pedro and it didn't compute

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

knew i shouldnt have bet on Gala, you just can trust turkish teams

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

yauuuuuuuuu gala 0-1, you cant make this up, they beat Pool but cant beat this 3rd level team

and ofc benfica 1-0, they had 2.2 odd but chose to bet on gala

 

[Temptation]

Mourinho masterclass

16 points was enough for top 8 last season, so Barca could still get there if they lose today and win out.

Feels like there've been less upsets this season though so it might take a bit more.
