I think I've made it clear about losing momentum in the same match.
Nah, what you've done is set up a very specific set of conditions around what said remontada and remontada choke has to be so it suits the narrative which you'd like to propagate.
And the larger folly is in trying to find like for like replica situations in a high leverage cup competition
We aren't far off in our assessment of Flick but you definitely don't waste any opportunities to dig in on him versus I take him for who he is: brilliant at chance creation, and a calamity defensively, when not with fresh players. I even said the other day before this match that the actual best manager in the world isn't even managing right now. And even he has his flaws and CL chokes v AM and RM (multiple).
This team lacks central defenders with a full set of skills - game and physical.
Inigo, Cubarsi - they have a high IQ, they are great on the ball, but they are physically weak. Damn, this fucking Thuram won almost all the high balls from them yesterday - he not only threw the ball back with his head, but also managed to receive it several times.
Araujo - well developed physically, but very stupid and weak technically.

That tackle by Cubarsi - remember the same episode in the match against Benfica - he simply can't keep up due to his low starting speed and speed at a distance.
Technically, he is well-equipped. I value him as a player incredibly.
But his speed qualities and play in the air will never be at a good level.

08-09 Barca is irrelevant because we won the league early.
I said when all titles are on the line, and team plays every 3 days
I don't remember how many times 16-17 RM rotated in the league.
If it's just once or twice is insignificant. We rotated against Valladolid, Inter rotated as well.
Regarding the Super League. Yesterday I finally came to the opinion that I am FOR Super League. I am tired of this “roulette” called “Champions League”.
As I said before, we didn't show high quality football, otherwise we would have gotten 7 goals from an opponent like Inter. But we deserved more to reach the final. We were better than Inter.
But that's the way the Champions League is. Real Madrid has won this tournament 6 times in the last 10-11 years, with maybe only 1-2 times really being in the top 1 top 2 in terms of quality of play.
In short, I'm waiting for the Superleague.

Exactly...
Poor Hansi saw Thuram winning all balls and thought ARaujo can save him there
only to see him giving away goals by his low IQ

This format is much closer to the SL
Best teams, bar some exceptions, made it to later stages, and big games happened in the league phase already
Only difference is the big team-fodder games this format has retained

Superleague wasn't even a good project. Would have been a disaster anyway.
With this format I don't like that the home return leg advantage is pre set and favors some sides consistently. Why the hell did Inter play all their decisive matches vs both Bayern and Barcelona at home, while we played both Dortmund and Inter away.
It's fucked up.

They are changing it next year. They finally realised the logical thing is that return leg will always be in the home of the higher ranked team in league stage.

Will make the return leg at home of the better placed team in the league phase? They should have done that this year ffs. Completely changes the situation.
Look at what happened. Inter got to play a mini game of 30 mins at home. Massive advantage.
