thinking the 'best' team on paper wins CL usually. Even if you make it that far again, anything can happen in one game.

, look at the Bayern choke job against Chelsea 2 years ago. They should already be back-to-back champions.

[Venti Quattro]

Madrid and Barça were the better teams in 2012 and everyone was already penciling in a Clasico finale. Look what happened.

Also, Arsenal is gonna whoop that Bayern ass. Özil is gonna send Thiago crying to the changing room

[pookenstein]

repeat

Going to have to improve considerably if you think that will happen.

Last year's Bayern>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>This year's Bayern

This is true. So far. But Bayern will get better as the season goes on. And it's not like we're playing like right now.

[pookenstein]

Didnt Dortmund whoop your ass in the Sausage Supercup this year ?

Like you said:

Sausage Supercup.

[Venti Quattro]

I can't watch the Bayern game. The semi-final drubbing is still painful.

I don't think we're the best team on paper. I think we're the best team. Barca and Real are just as good on paper. Dortmund, PSG and others not far behind. On paper. But I have faith in my team.

No. They were not.

Whatever your perspective on who the better team was, do you disagree you went into 2011-12 final thinking they would beat Chelsea?

Anything happens in CL. But if you were just making a homer post, nothing wrong with that imo.

[pookenstein]

There you go. Alaba! Just hand us that damn trophy.

[Venti Quattro]

No. They were not

Yes they were.

Madrid were romping opponents on their way to the Semi-final.
Barcelona, 2010-11 winners, were heavily favored over the London Bus of Chelsea.

They found their match, got a bit unlucky and the Clasico final which everyone were licking their chops for got shredded.

This is your opinion.
Bayern was the best team last season. This is mine.

OK, I just reread your original post. You were talking about the 2011/2012 season. Misread that. You're right about that. Bayern wasn't better than Real/Barca that year.

I was talking about last season.

[Jodelo]

Casillas started and is injured and subs uted.

Lol are you kidding. Bayern was lightyears ahead of everyone in Europe in the 12/13 UCL.

Wow, Iker is out of luck. He gets his first start in a while and then he gets injured....

[Jodelo]

Should have been a penalty for Real!

[Venti Quattro]

United
goal coming from a clear offside

Why is Rooney wearing that headband? Concerned about his implants?

Maybe his implants grew some bangs...

[pookenstein]

Ouch. Lahm breaking Rafinha's leg/ankle. That looked bad.

[Jodelo]

Isco, 1-0!
