Champions League 25/26

[serghei]

PSG start as favorites for quite a few seasons more. Competition is weak. Liverpool rebuilding and doing it poorly, City changing the lines too, Madrid in scandal, Barca with a crap defense, Serie A sides are a mess.

Arsenal is closest. So if they dispatch Arsenal, we can talk about total domination of current rivals in Champions League.

always rated him. Even had him as my profile pic at times in whatsapp.

Did consider him a rat when he left us and celebrated against us. But moved on from that. Happy to see him bring success to Luis Enrique and emasculate Mbappe.

Would have been the final last season too if they weren't matched for the semis.

Lol what. Arsenal is not a definitive W against Barca never the less Bayern.

PSG could actualy 3-peat the CL next year. I can totally see it happening. The biggest question for me was the goalkeeping department, but Safonov seems more than good enough.

This, Bayern won't be much different next season and I doubt we're making any big signings for the back four or the ST. Unfortunately, RM could have a massive change next season if they hire a competent coach like Klopp who could motivate both Mbappe and Vinicius to play well together. That's actually the only thing that I can see logically stopping PSG, but in that scenario I rather PSG three peat.

Klopp is waiting for Germany job apparently.

 

[JamDav1982]

Bookies dont have it as cut and dried as would think.

PSG 1.74
Arsenal 2.33

 

[Catta]

How can people like QSG, a disgusting club just like Real.

No, just favorites. We were sent out by a side who weren't even good enough to dominate the best teams in a weak ass Serie A in Inter. With a 38 year old defender scoring alone in the 6 year box.

As did Bayern btw. Another team who gets huge credit for the elite level with very little to show for.

 

[fcbfan22]

I highly doubt Klopp will go into the mess of current Real Madrid as he took a break due to exhaustion 2 years ago. RM would be a job from hell currently.

Nah, Madrid is not gonna tell Mbappe to take a hike. That one is a bad apple that spoils the bunch. They fecked up again and fell victim to the Galactico sins of the past.

And another issue is that you can't go and buy a new Toni Kroos just like that. Every generation of players has a few special midfielders max. PSG managed to land 2 of those big talents.

Stranger things have happened, like the RM 3-peat when Barca had peak Messi.

Remember when the entire forum was Telling me we could hang with PSG last season. Even up to the inter game?. And I was saying no shot?.

Edit not the entire forum a few people saw the light. Like Messi, the goat and 2 others

Now they can 3peat? What changed?.

A few adjustments next season and we can win. Adjustments being the key word.

Just more lies.

Many had PSG as faves for CL before that. Long before that.

Barca would have been more competitive than Inter.. Aston Villa had them on the ropes and Liverpool went out on pens. Arsenal played well vs them.

Inter were shit.. doesnt mean Barca get thumped also.

nah you were claiming Barca’s back 4 was as good as PSG’s start of the season

Either Arsenal/Piers/Arteta/Robbie get a CL or I get $1600+ (also have $120 on PSG win on polymarket)

We’re eating good either way @Fati

It just appears that way. Arbeloa is unproven, inexperienced and without a top managerial resume. A top manager would calm the storm. Klopp is obviously a legend of the game and any player who doesn't respect him doesn't respect football. Point is, their "game" could change very quickly under the right manager. RM just needs to hire the right fit this time.

RM really shot itself in the foot by letting Alonso go mid season.

Yep, anyone remotely intelligent can see there's a lot of potential in that RM attack. Could really be a huge threat if Mbappe agrees to play more like an ST. Lots to work with and a much bigger budget than Barca.
