UEFA giving Real Madrid the toughest route to the title, as per par.
Another quality group for midget to pad his stats.
Looking forward to see if midget will finally be able to score vs Juventus after failing to do so in 180 minutes.
Qarabag is gonna go home with multiple holes
Qarabag and APOEL Nicosia :lmao:lmao:lmaoQuote:

celtic and anderlecht in group B, might as well play the knockout games for EL right now :lol
barcelona is in an underrated tough group, juventus are juventus and both olympiakos and sporting have strong home courts tbh ..
overall beautiful groups, the new rules :toast
I still can't find Arsenal though.
They have a bye yearQuote:

crickets
Messi is an absolute god, best performance anyone has had against Juventus in the last couple years.
Stat padder gonna stat pad
It only took midget 225 minutes to finally score against Juventus. Congrats.
Juventus are known slow starters every year, and this is the group stage :lol imagine getting excited over watching a 4'6 midget statpadQuote:

This is the worldwide game everyone loves in the group stage of the most prestigious club tournament in the world and all one gets is Messi v. Ranolda.... ? Except for German dude, pretty sad. Maybe turn the thread into baseball discussion.
Oh yes.
Gotta have lots of these.
:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao
Meh, wake me up when the knock out stage begins.Quote:

The last bastion of competitive football is still in the NT competitions imo. Great games to be had in the UCL but they should impose some financial/national restrictions tbh.Quote:

Klopp is the best thing to happen to Liverpool IMO.
Ramos is such an underrated GK fwiw.
Ronaldo with a brace against a non mediocre team, and the media doesn't fluff him up like they do with a certain ugly midget
Because one of those goals was offside and the other was on a silver plater that a high shoolQuote:

That was a good goal, but Messi's goal at the Bernebeau was far more iconic.Quote:

He did play well vs Dortmund but Bale was MOTM.
He's scored more goals this season than a guy who's missed 5 games? Bloody hell you hobbit fans get more pathetic every day
Atletic:lol
:lol Bayern
I see midget's already in knockout stage form :lol
Some score a brace in Germany and make it look effortless, others can't score at all and need an own goal to beat the 3rd best team in Portugal :lol
Luckily for midget he plays Las Palmas this weekend, so he can go back to stat-padding against scrubs like nothing happened. Thank god for la liga :lol

The fuck is wrong sons? How can a team go from looking unbeatable to this sack of hot garbage?
Madrid could be looking at lean times ahead similar to post-2002 if they don't shake up this squad next summer..
Not that he is the problem, but I would probably sell high on Cristiano (United or PSG) and gear up for new a team era..They have seen the best of this group/core..
Ronaldo is finished, what a fast decline overnight.
He had a good run but damn is he atrocious now. Monaco dodged a bullet over the summer.
Yup. :lol and Zidane going with 3 in the back and no DM :lmaoQuote:

I said that on the offseason and Madrid fans laughed at me. Ronaldo has little relevance on the level of the team, he is just a poacher. You can find other poachers, granted none as good as him. But I would sell a 33 yearold poacher for 300 millions, get the second best poacher in the World and a true difference making playmaker.Quote:

Ghoulam playing playing like shit with the NT but looking like Marcelo with Napoli
:lmao :flipoff
He and his friends still allowed 4, tbh.Quote:

Don't think Real will Threepeat but they won't play this awful. Bayern have started to turn it around with Heynkess back in charge.. Barca are mostly fine but could have another gear in them..The usual suspects, beside close-but-no-cigar Atletico who are done for real, should not be written off just yet..
Tottenham broke their losing streak today.
3-2 loss to West Ham
1-0 loss to Man U.
They are thinking this win might get them back on track for a strong domestic finish. And they had been having problems at Wembley. We will see if this group play gets them out of their slump. Probably not. Lost their best defender in the 1st half. Lloris may also be injured.

Have trouble with Arsenal yet again, and beat Dortmund away.Quote:

Go figure. Tough to compete regularly with the big $ teams.
All the promoted teams are on solid footing so far.
I am especially surprised Brighton is playing so strong. Already 5 managerial changes. Pulis goes down very early.
Arsenal can still compete when they feel like it. Ozil and Sanchez both had excellent games at the same time in squashing Tottenham. The top 6 teams are going to have to share the new TV contract money. Money continues to pour in.
And there you have it.
Ya see here Lefty...Quote:

PSG blew their load in November and their defense is vulnerable. If RM catches some form in the next couple of months I wouldn't be shocked to see them humiliate those pretenders yet again. The key is not to concede goals in the first leg and then allow PSG to self destruct with their mental demons and toxic locker room. That team is still very fragile, tbh.
Think Barca will comfortably roll Chelsea. The other low-key ties could be more interesting..
I agree with the major betting odds that now have City as title favorites; overall, they've been the best and most consistent team in the continent the season. Draw-permitting, they will probably have to face one of RM/Barca/Bayern in the Final and those could still prove too experienced for them on the occasion..
Barca really struggles with Chelsea playstyle. Teams that play 4-3-3 in general struggle against teams that pack the back and hold possession. Chelsea might not be consistent enough this year, but in an away and home leg its a nightmare to play against these teams.Quote:

We might end up with a surprise winner this year, imo.
Also, PSG needs to invest more on Holding midfieders.Quote:

They need holding midfielders that can fill in the gaps defensively, prevent counterattacks...Almost all their midfielders are offensively focused players.
real ain't losing to these bum fake niggas. cue in penaldo quote and buckle up for another year of penaldo vs misty in UCL knockout with a WC to top it off. god damn I love this sport tbh :lol
whats rmadrids path like to the finals?
seems like eufa setting up Ronaldo to be GOAT
Real isn't exactly clicking on all cylinders and Tapnaldo is apparently unhappy. It's a soccer rumor and soccer rumors have a tendency to be some of the most unfounded, TMZ level gossip on the planet so take it with a grain of salt.Quote:
