I do not agree that age is not a factor with those players. Especially Modric. He is clearly done and dusted.

We are FC Barcelona & we have the GOAT on fire and with a point to prove. Moreover, the influence of managers is so absurdly exaggerated by football fans and pundits. RM won 3 CL's on the trot with Zidane & United are Europe's laughing stock with the so-called Special One (a manager which I...

I was referring to your form in this season and up to this point, which I'm sure you are not happy with. Unlike most people, I would not write RM off just yet, and I expect you to be up for the CL KO games in two months time. As you say, I can see you going deep if the draw is the kind to you.

Real's key players are all aging badly: Marcelo (30), Benzema (31), Ramos (32), Modric (33) There is also the issue of fatigue & motivation. Ronaldo is not that great either this season, scoring just one goal in the CL. Mandzukic has eight goals in 18 apps, not too impressive either. Juventus...

First Treble Season. 08/09 Last 16 1-1 in France (Henry) 5-2 in Spain (2 goals by Henry, one Messi, one Eto'o and one from Keita) Edit: Many of you seem to be new to Barcelona or you simply do not remember our CL games very well. I was amazed for example that nobody seemed to mention the...

Not for us it wasn't. In any case, I would like Atleti to KO Juve (shut up obnoxious CR fans) and for United to eliminate PSG (even though it's an extremely tall order) Bayern vs Pool? Do we have a preference there? Maybe Bayern who are aging by now, and would also keep Premface propaganda...

I agree. I cannot believe that Real Madrid will remain at their current level for much longer. There is bound to be improvement pretty soon. I expect to see them at the quarters and would not mind drawing them.

Lyon gave is a very tough game in their own ground in our first treble winning season. We were a bit lucky to get that equalizer with Henry. In the return leg, we annihilated them in a first-half blitz, going 4-0 up (it ended 5-2) Glorious days!

I think they will. The main problem for Madrid is not so much the absence of Ronaldo (even though that's also a factor contributing to their weakening this season) but the overall decline in all their key players (mainly due to age) All of Modric, Benzema, Marcelo, Ramos and Bale are a...

Juve vs Atleti = 50-50 Bayern vs Pool = 45-55 Real Madrid vs Ajax = 75-25 PSG vs Utd = 85-15 City vs Schalke = 95-5 Barca vs Lyon = 90-10 Hopefully Roma make it through and we draw them in the quarters.

AS Roma please.

AS Roma please!

AS Roma please!

Messi Pique Suarez HM: Vidal, Dembele

I don't think anyone seriously believes that. In matter of fact, I mostly come across the opposite claim (with which I disagree with)

What have teams like Juventus or Liverpool ever done to be considered better than us?

Is the questioning of that post serious?

Only City & PSG are comparable to us. Liverpool, are a step below. Juventus, 2 steps. Fuck it, I think we are better than PSG as well, but not by much. Us & City are the favorites. We have much more options this year than any of the previous 3. Also, the team is still being gradually...

Nope. I was 100% correct.

This is a no-brainer. AS Roma. God forbid Liverpool
