Champions League 25/26

Sometimes it is the teams that stuggle a bit in first half of season and find a new way of playing and it takes off.

Barca with MSN.
PSG last season.

City and Liverpool have good squads and can still be amongst the favs as goes on.

PSG, Arsenal, and Bayern for me also so far. PSG have the best team and a world class manager, but one bad game and you can be out. I don't know how this Chevalier is playing.

I actually was agreeing with what you said, and my comment about them being shit was aimed at the troll rattling on about Dortmund.

No one but you has suggested they're shit

Barca this season???

Arsenal have the squad and the ability, but they don't have the mental fortitude and history of winning big trophies (recent) that the three others have.

Do they have the squad? Mid attack, mid midfield, great defensively.

Fair enough.

I'd expect Arsenal to beat Dortmund, but of course it wouldn't be a foregone conclusion. Inter are the type of team who could give Arsenal a game, though.

FWIW, it's more about the nature of Arsenal as a club (plus I am not a big fan of Arteta). If their entire squad transferred to Man City or Bayern, and they had Pep as a coach, then I'd think they definitely had a big chance.

I know it sounds lazy and has to change some day, but it's Arsenal - no matter how good their players are, they'll find a way to fuck it up.

Chelsea showed vs PSG that one bad game vs a top team... and it's over.

Fair point. I rate Rice, Saka, eze is good. Odegaard is injured a lot now and has lost form.

Guys like Trossard, Merino, Zubimendi, Martinelli really aren't top class quality. They range from average to fairly good. But you wouldn't expect them to hang with the top teams in the final phases of the CL.

You literally said "Arsenal is not good". So you're either saying they are shit or average. Both statements would be nonsense.

We pray for this of course

Not good doesn't equal shit. They're mid.

How long is Luis Enrique gonna stay at PSG? I miss making fun of PSG and he is ruining this pleasure of mine.

Me too i can't stand this team. I loved when everyone made fun of them.

It's even worse now that Enrique work here.

PSG had very poor attitude in that game.

 

[Maradona37]

Yeah I don't think Liverpool are as good as the hype suggests, but recent results are likely an anomaly. Even though they don't play splendid football, they will start winning again soon you'd expect.

I don't think they'll win the CL, but they have a chance.

They're not though, are they?

There was barely anything in the two games you played last season in the CL and they've since added the likes of Eze and Zubamendi among others.
