I might be wrong, but I think Barcaman - as site owner - always votes for the opposition to try to 'jinx' them, in a superstitious way. He voted for Real Madrid to win the final too. So I wouldn't be surprised if he's one of the Leganes voters. I voted Barca.

Fair enough. Not saying you are wrong. I think jamrock makes a good point too though - there is something about teams with great defences (like Inter) where they don't concede even when a team has a really good chance against them. It could also be psychological, as maybe Kane and Muller feel...

You said that Bayern had lots of chances. Other than the glorious Kane one, it wouldn't be a surprise if that total is a lot of lesser chances adding up. Man United had the same thing gainst Forest. I am not fully sure on how xG is generated but it seems like it is a cumulative thing. Plus, any...

I get that impression too. He's very physical and not as good technically. Though that could just be a bias towards small technical players.

True but Gabriel is a big miss. I don't know about Ben White's injury situation either.

He's not really built to do that well in big games (as in the occasion, he did well against other big teams in the PL) in the sense that he spent most of his career for Tottenham, and England always struggle in big games, so he's probably carried that to Bayern. Plus just generally he doesn't...

I kinda get Loki's point. They're a good watch but they aren't all out attack either, unlike some teams at times left in the competition. They're a good, balanced team.

One below par season doesn't negate his good form in his career for many years. That's what I think, maybe you guys disagree which is fair enough. I haven't watched him much this season, though. My favourite thing about him is his passing range so if that and his finishing are disappearing from...

It certainly has potential to be so.

Yeah true. Slog fest probably wrong. But neutralise more in the sense of they'd cancel each other out in attack i.e. neither team could dominate in terms of possession and chances in opposition territory.

True forgot that about Hoeness. He had a massive problem because of how German football clubs are run more efficiently in general. And yeah, you are obviously privy to the German media in a way I am not. It makes sense they'd be obsessed with financials because as I said above. Leipzig are...

Like you say, they are casuals. They don't know anything about the history of the game, or at least don't care to learn. He's a legendary striker, but he is not the best striker of all time lol, that's insane. Likely not top five either. But that doesn't mean he isn't one of the best 9s ever...

He's not better than Kane. Imo Kane is better. I'd have Martinez in top five though. I know you are still refusing to interact with me, but who do you feel would be your other four? Kane, Haaland Lewy even at his age, Isak, Gyokeres (though I am not convinced with him), there's other candidates...

Bayern (alongside Milan but they've long been in decline) are probably the third most prestigious club in the world after the Clasico sides. Plus Barca and Bayern have had some titanic clashes on the pitch, especially in the last 15 years. It really could be that simple - that Bayern see Barca...

He's currently the hot property but I am not convinced he won't flop when he moves. I don't wanna be too harsh on the guy - he's done well this season. But there are red flags about him. Striker market isn't great though so he stands out more.

He's world-class and has been for several years. Even in the hard times you could see the talent.

Also, reading through the thread, it shows how fickle the life of a footballer is. One good season, you're the best thing since sliced bread. Come down from that and you're a fraud. Then make a move to another club, play excellently again, and everyone loves you once more. Lol. Maybe the...

Yes he's been brilliant (with highs and lows) for a few years now. He's a fantastic footballer. So much technical quality, faster than he looks, and work rate.

Think PSG v Barca is the final neutrals (or anyone who doesn't hate either club) wants to see. All the other combos (assuming leading teams progress) look interesting too, but these two teams seem to play the most entertaining football. Maybe they'd neutralise each other in a final and it would...

Looks great. France produces so much talent.
