That's if Pep Guardiola doesn't overthink like he did in the Final vs Chelsea; bald MF'er had to thow the team chemistry off :lol

Can't blame him for last season either, Madrid was on some shaman shit

[FrostKing]

FiveThirtyEight probabilities for winning the UCL final:

1. Bayern 21%
2. City 18%
3. PSG 14%
4. Liverpool 9%
5. Real Madrid 7%
6. Barcelona, Alax, Chelsea 4%
9. Tottenham 3%
10. Inter, Atletico, Porto, Leipzig, Salzburg 2%
15. Milan, Dortmund, Sporting 1%
18. Benfica, Napoli, Leverkusen, Celtic, Sevilla, Juventus, Rangers, Frankfurt, Marseille, Brugge, Zagreb, Copenhagen, Shakhtar, Plzen, Maccabi <1%



Granted alot of this is draw dependent but if Bayern reaches the SemiFinals I'll be impressed

I agree tbh... dat Erland signing was the right move, he is not guardiola type of player but on a close game in semi he can solve the issue by an individual action. I liked the signing.

Now this CL is gonna be very particular with the WC in the middle so anything is possible.

Demble

The sliding tackle and assist to Lewandowski today. I never saw Coman, Gnabry or Sane (:lol) do anything like that. This is the best running mate Robert's had since Robbery and he has far better relationship with him.

So do Bayern! I didn't watch the Inter match but read the game threads. Bayern outlets I still frequent.

Their Defense although very talented still makes mental blunders.

Lewandowski + Demble is better than what Bayern offers. I was especially surprised to see their fans voicing frustration with Mane.

Barca won't bunker and that's probably prideful naiveness. This Bayern team has yet to show it can handle a deep sitting opponent and Barca should feel confident countering.

I do agree that Bayern wins but don't expect a blowout like recent past. Barca has the two best attackers on the field. And I think guys like Pedri and Kounde are just as good. Bayern is deeper but just like Barca attempting to find cohesion with many new pieces.

Grealish on that team cant score but my God that boy can open things up.
I know some people think he dribbles too much but he is a happening dude.

The goalkeeper made a nice stop. It wasn't a terrible kick but that goalkeeper guessed the right direction and has tremendous hand eye coordination and reaction time. Over the two legs, he saved or tipped away 5 or 6 would-be goals from City that would normally be in the back of the net. He's been tremendous, saving toothless Copenhagen from complete embarrassment.

Also, Gomez needs to play smarter. That was a really shitty red card to concede.

It’s highly probable Barça will play the Europa league this season. They will need to win both games, one vs Bayern at Camp Nou, and still pray for the best. The group was tough, for sure, but to go down like that in group stages after spending everything left, is ridiculous. I mean it’s not even close, Inter is already clear by 3 points.

Claiming they were robbed at Sam Siro, after an obvious handball was shameful too, not sure what’s going on there. Even after all the transfers, Barça simply doesn’t have the level to compete with other Champions teams.

Defense is shit. Yes key injuries to it has played a big part. Ter Stegen had a great match...and gave up 3 goals.

I don't know why Barca is so stubborn to play this ball control. I've seen on fan outlets some look down on Real because Madrid is fine falling back in defense and playing Counter. Fuck style. Just win.

From what I've seen this Barca team is best playing Uptempo. Just bunker and counter. Almost every club in UCL does it.

Spurs go down 1-0 per usual on a horrible touch by Dier.
Then come roaring back and lead 3-1 at the half with Son running the Germans ragged.
The German team picks up a red in the second half, so Conte makes a bunch of defensive subs.
The Germans take over the game and almost tie it, losing 3-2, requiring a number of Lloris saves to hold on to victory while Spurs have a one man advantage.
Conte may want to rethink how he wants to close a game after getting ahead and playing extremely unaggressive.

"After the game me and my partner were robbed twice walking across the canal bridge. Phone, bank cards and ID gone. Whole experience was awful. First and last time in Paris for us."

"Others found themselves under attack from gangs of local youths. At least one fan had his face slashed, while another suffered a suspected broken leg in a street attack. Many others required hospital treatment"

"Post-match last night was the scariest I’ve ever experienced. Organised gangs set about mugging departing fans. We ran a gauntlet of thuggery on our way to the Metro. Not a police officer in sight. Witnessed so many ambush attacks on unsuspecting attendees."

0-1 Bayern

Kinda meh match especially until Bayern scored and Mbappe came on shortly after

Coman scored on an unmarked cross in the box and Donnarumma goofed it

Both clubs have distinct weaknesses - Bayern scoring & PSG defending but the rest of the UCL is much the same except City

Before Benzema even scored his 1st goal of this UCL campaign Real was already in the KOs and up 3-2 in Anfield

Well, people who claim they're 2-3 levels above the rest are dumb, but I still wouldn't use one (incomplete) round of getting exposed. We've had 2 all-English finals in the past 5 years with no other country having one....I don't think that proves anything either. The top teams (across Europe) usually win, period. No one is expecting any Spanish team outside of Real Madrid win CL and it's been that way for 8 years, tbh.

It’s 2 different things imo

- In terms of which donestic lesgue has the best product right now it’s the EPL

La liga isn’t super excitiing right now; even El Clasico is not the must watch fame it used to be

BuLi is great but it has a marketing problem, or maybe they are not promoting it heavily on purpose because they want to keep their best players for as long as possible.
Or maybe it’s just a cultural thing

Serie A is getting better but still dar away from where it used to be

French Ligue 1 lol




- On the European level, yes EPL teams are getting hammered lol

So when people are saying EPL is the best lesgue , I don’t think they mean they have the best teams in Europe right now , it’s more in terms of the product compared to other domestic leagues.


Disclaimer : I’m talking about the current season. As resistanze said, in recent years EPL teams have done well in Europe

Game was so sloppy.

Best moment in the game was when the Bayern goal keeper got spun a full 360, recovered and made the save with his leg.
In fact the Bayern goal keeper should have been the man of the match. That could have been 6-0 or 6-3
It was not a good game. Guardiola looked like he wanted to tear up something up afterward.

Bayern fans are melting down basically blaming the Front Office. Many attacked me for doing the same all the way back in preseason

Anyway that was really sobering for FCB because they didn't even play that poorly and yet were outclassed

Think one would need to go back all the way to 2015 [0-3 vs Barca], the last time Bayern were basically eliminated in the 1st Leg of the UCL.
