UEFA Champions League

This tie really is like an event for homeless toys

Oh what is that? All Riquelmes look the same to you?

Oh Lautaro

Aupa Atleti

Proper Chrissy Waddle.

Atleticoā€™s penalties were on PEDs. They were nuts.

Eternal Atletico.

Top 4 in danger, but still very tricky in the CL.

I could enjoy if they face Cheaty or Arsenal. They could kick some ass (literally). Or knees. Or whatever.

Too bad arsenal and city didnā€™t draw each other

If City and Arsenal reach the semi final they will face each other.

Thatā€™s ok. Iā€™m alright with both going out in the QF.

Time for the real draw everyone came to see.

I think city will dust Real. Leipzig were unlucky.

Arsenal Bayern that is perfect like it was rigged.

Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, PSG or Barcelona is going to be in the Champions League finalā€¦ :thinking:

PSG vs Man City final I reckon looking at that bracket. How nauseating.

This is a pretty damning statement of how consolidated power has become in the European game

The last eight consists of seven from the top nine sides based on Uefa coefficients, with Premier League leaders Arsenal the only outliers.

In other words, the QFs are exactly what a 10 year old could have predicted at the beginning of the season by just picking the 8 strongest sides on paper. Who wants to watch that?

Thatā€™s why I have always been against seeding because it is engineered to create this exact scenario and protect the top clubs from early exits.

That is the joy of the FA Cup when you can get Coventry in the semi and top sides playing each other in the 3rd round. Long may it be so.

I suppose itā€™s also where the idea for the Super League came about, that one would want to see giants playing each other all the time.

Iā€™m certainly not interested in that.

Wont the mancs need to be in it to win it next year? :rofl:

Liking how they have Wolves, Forest and Rangers winning it, but no sign of Arsenal
