Champions League 2024-25

Hope you didnt watch Barca and Aston Villa at the same time, this would have been too much for your soul!🙉

I was at the Villa game mate, I go to vast majority of them as I only live 17 miles away. Caught the Barca highlights on YouTube this morning.

Wasn’t really invested in the Barca score for obvious reasons as it’s not like I’m used to seeing us both play in the same comp on the same night.

But at least Barca survived so that’s sound as a pound.

Real apparently going with Vazquez and Alaba as the full back pairing. Seems a very odd decision from Ancelotti given Alaba was awful in the first game.

Call me insane, but I'm for Madrid and Bayern tonight.

Bayern because I think Flick's system will have it much easier with their open play and defense, where their best players are injured, than Inter, who are always difficult to face. They can defend in a coordinated low block the whole game and Martinez scores with his first chance.

And Madrid, because if anyone can stop PSG, it's actually them. I don't trust Arsenal and a potential clasico CL final would be the most epic way to end the season, especially because we're much better so far in direct duels with Flick. We need to exploit it and give them a few more defeats which will hurt a long time.

I'd rather any team but Real Madrid shithouse another trophy.

Real Madrid 6.66 odds of going through

How fitting , huh ?

Carlo starting fede in midfield one week too late.

Carlo starting fede in midfield one week too late.

This is why I said camavinga suspension is going to work in reals favour.

Forced to play more offensive mf.

Not watching the game but I hope it's a draw. Can't allow this corny emotional Insha'Allah and vibes team to reach another UCL semi final

Siu guys im ready for cl football

so obviously we want Arsenal to win the tie

but really cant say about Inter and Bayern, as FC B correctly said Inter's game is more difficult to break than Bayern's but Bayern with full power is even with Kompany tough to beat.....

anyways, lets hope for a fantastic cl evening, siu!

Raya – Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly – Partey, Rice, Ødegaard – Saka, Merino, Martinelli.

That is a very attacking midfield and front line from Real and will leave space on break for Arsenal to get at the full backs.. but guess they are at stage have to roll dice like that.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Alaba and Vasquez in defence hmm both have been crap lately

and thought ceballos would start

on facebook Real fans make jokes that Alaba will score 2 fks today, someone should wake them up

 

[MonteCuler]

Vazquez starting and no Ceballos... so essentially, no changes. Same old Madrid.

Carlo probably counts on determination and will to drive his team forward today (as he usually does), because on paper this is not convincing at all

I can understand no Ceballos if he's not 100℅ yet, but this is the most important game for Madrid this season. If he's fit no doubt he should have started

Believe in Arsenal to not fuck it up tonight
