Champions League 2024-25

I will post it again.

And again you will be told you would focus on the negatives of Yamals penalty miss if it was him in first half.

There is barely a difference in defensive stats of Saka and Yamal this season anyway.

I think this season is bad for him. No question.

He’s never really done it for me. He is capable of great moments don’t get wrong but he fluctuates between that and being outright terrible for me to rate him that high.

Think the atmosphere here was generally good. We were right to be pissed off by Dortmund match last night. Generally positive imo.

True and even players said it was a disgrace so it's not just fans.

Might as well bring Zidane back.

Zidane ball with Vini, Mbappe and Rodrygo. I can't wait!

Yes, Zidane, Ancelotti are the best options for them.

If they want a system coach - they should get rid of either Vinny or Mbappe.

50-50 probably. I'd prefer PSG to Arsenal. Equally young team without much experience at the highest level.

We will have to see how they play a final if they get there. This seasons Madrid are a vastly inferior side to this seasons Inter and Barca. Especially in terms of possession play.

But I agree on one thing mate. They are in better form than us and look to be physically better than us right now.

Yes, but I am positive. I think we're just getting our second wind here and will mount a serious challenge for CL in 2-3 weeks time. We just need to take the risk and now rotate wisely at home with Celta and Mallorca until Copa final.

Then put together two seriously intense game in 3-4 days time, then full rest vs Valladolid.

We have Madrid (Copa) before the first Semi and Madrid (Liga) after the second Semi.

While I'm moderately confident we win Copa, and mildly confident we knock out Inter, that LaLiga tie is looking dangerous to me. After the physical and mental effort of those three knockout games I can see us losing that one.

Extremely important we win the next three Liga games while also managing the squad.

 

[serghei]

The draw favors us in the Clasico from the league if we don't mess up. Madrid have 2 difficult games now vs Bilbao and Getafe in just a few days.

The league can't be jeopardized. Bird in the hand is better than everything else.

How so? Maybe confidence wise but we have 120minutes more min on the clock directly before the league game.

Simply means we don't have to win the Clasico in the league. A draw is good result. And any point Madrid loses until the Clasico is almost game over for them.

True. In the end the LaLiga is in our hands. We don't need to win the Classico. Even draw would be amazing. But there's no way we will go for a draw.

 

[serghei]

But like Porque said, it's very very important to win 9/9 vs Celta, Mallorca, and Valladolid. We can do it and also rotate plenty. The only away game is against a relegated team that is by far the worst team of the league.

Getafe away isn't cakewalk either
