    Bayern is either going to score 7 goals, or conceding them. Man will run himself into burn out syndrome

    Next Barca President (2021)

    Remember Oriol Domenech saying a few days ago that Michael Zorc (currently head of sports at BVB) is on the list of candidates. Don't think there's much behind that rumour though.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Lewandowski had 41 goals this year in club comps, accompanied by 15 assists. Noone aside from that had 40 goals. This was a pandemic year, most players played maybe 25-35 games. The only ones who even had 30+ goals in this year were Haaland, Ronaldo, Lukaku and Immobile. And 3 of them are in...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Such a dumb decision seriously. You don't have to be holding a ceremony, but literally the whole process of voting can be done through mail ins and the winner can be announced online. All the other awards were given, but the Ballon D'Or wasn't for no apparent reason.

    Premier League 2020/2021

    Correction: Their B-team has beaten Sevillas B-team 4-0 away.

    Premier League 2020/2021

    friendly reminder that 13 games into the season Chelsea is yet to beat a single team ranked higher than 12th place.

    Bundesliga

    Jesus christ Schalke with 1 man more on the pitch, leading 2-1 in the 93rd minute to finally win a game after 26 (!) winless games. Augsburg equalizes..

    Most likely. But Bayern isn't as strong as people think right now. The defense is arguably worse than Barcas. Neuer has been carrying hard the past 2 months.

    Bundesliga

    Not under Favre, Haaland has carried a lot, but the teams flaws have become very evident during his injury. Leipzig are undoubtly the 2nd best team in Germany.

    Champions League

    Hannover 96. Internationally I root for German teams. Rather Bayern than Dortmund for me personally. That's less of being a fan, and rather some sort of patriotic sympathy. Barca and Real rivalry are not comparable with Dortmund and Bayern "rivalry". Bayern vs Dortmund hasn't even been a thing...

    Champions League

    I said Juve is a top 6 side. I named 6 teams including Juve which are uncontroversial picks for a top 5, leaving you to decide who you rank 1-5 and which one is just missing out. For me either one of Madrid or Juve complete the top 5. That means the respective other 6th placed team is "near" the...

    Champions League

    Nah seriously, Tier B would actually be fine. Big teams can be in shit form, yet always find ways.

    Champions League

    Really? Can I have the "nowhere near" part quoted? But yes, I do consider Juventus to be better than Chelsea. Well while we are at it. My personal Tier List: Tier S: 1-2. Bayern, Liverpool Tier A+: 3-4. City, PSG Tier A: 5-6. Madrid, Juventus Tier B: 7-13. Atletico, Tottenham, Milan, Chelsea...

    Champions League

    Yes they are logically dropped because I named 10 teams competing for 5 spots and we can both agree these teams are rather around 6-10 than 1-5 (which is the bar). I don't understand what you are struggling with. Do I need to draw a logic matrix called "how to be top 5"?

    Champions League

    The criteria is "being a team capable of winning the CL" and the bar isn't just "Dortmund and Spurs" but breaking into a top 5 currently held by 5 of Juventus, Bayern, Madrid, PSG, Liverpool and City in no particular order. If Chelsea is better than 2 of these 6 very uncontroversial picks, then...

    Champions League

    Because in order to determine wether Chelsea is the most logical approach is to ask "How many clubs can I name that are better than Chelsea right now and does that number equal or exceed 5".

    Champions League

    YES. That's what I am saying: Neither took this game seriously, and it shouldn't be a factor in anything. I have said they are 80% the same team, as in the same squad. I have acknowledged in my response that Chelsea are nonetheless an improved version of themselves, but not a top 5 team...

    Champions League

    Chelsea started with Havertz, Mendy with Jorginho, Kovacic, Giroud and Pulisic being A/B players Sevilla started with Rakitic, Navas, Diego Carlos with En-Nesry and Rekik being A/B players. And again, even if this was a full youth squad vs "half a Sevilla team" then the only point you draw from...

    Champions League

    Yes they are improved, no question, being consistent vs 10-20 teams is great and the defensive record is a big upgrade. But they are not anywhere a top 5 side is my point, and they are a different team facing Sheffield & co. than facing a big team. And the CL knockouts are 90% big teams...

    Champions League

    Think people are greatly over-estimating Chelsea here. This is still 80% the same squad from last year that lost 7-1 to Bayern, with the same manager. They have scored 25 goals in the league this season. 22 of them were against teams in the bottom half of the table, half of them specifically...
