nah bayern will choke like they always do
i'm thinking a real atleti final rematch
They won't. They really won't.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
they will just so pep can spend some more futile years trying to live up to his predecessor.
classy as always
Just watched what Suarez did to Godin.
Jesus.
Yea Suarez definitely did that on purpose.
Looking forward to it. Gonna be great.

Very impressive indeed. He should stay there for years, everyone at the club adores him.

They didnt choke in 2013 did they
I don't have high hopes for Madrid
It will be very very hard for us to beat any of the other 3 teams left over 2 games.
I think it's a pretty balanced competition. Bayern for example has shown horrid defense.
Nah. We are the Jace of football. Sorry.

Arsenal could finish third in the League and not get into the Champion's League next season

Great display by Atletico and well deserved victory.
Once a gentleman, and always a gentleman.
And Messi finally shows up. Where were you, bro.
GOAT lol lol lol
Arsenal fans should want this because it may finally make their board give Arsene a kick up the arse and spend some dosh.
I don't think that true, only fourth is at risk right?

Why not? This Real Madrid doesn't play good on a regular basis, but this is also the case for City, Atletico and even Bayern.
None of the opponents will be easy, but also not impossible. Two games against Barcelona would have been more or less impossible imo for this Real Madrid.

I'm assuming that if Man City and Liverpool win their competitions, they'd go into the Champion's League with Leicester and Spurs.
Spain 97.713
Germany 77.177
England 73.909
Italy 70.272
*Edit: you are on about something else.
I'm pretty sure that is not how it works.

So how would it work?
Only 4th place would miss out, and England would have 5 champions league teams
Damn, it's crazy how far ahead of everyone else the Spanish league is.
The maximum number of clubs to get into CL from one league is 5. So even if man city and Liverpool win in Europe and are not in top four, it would only be at the expense of fourth place team, which unfortunately might be West Ham.

Ah fair enough, I missed that change. I was under the impression that the maximum number of teams was four.

All three other teams are equally shit IMO. It'll be hard for them to get the cup as much as it's for Real.

Yeah, because it's known that only shit teams reach the Top 4 in the CL.

Atletico is at their peak of the season. I think they are favorites.

Are they between transfer bans at the moment?
I think their main problem is they pay too much in player salary.
Messi alone probably destroys the bank for them.
Well this year none of the teams is amazing or anywhere near it and just because they're equally shit doesn't mean they're shit. It just means they all have their problems that none has a clear advantage over the other.

And until a few weeks ago they were unbeatable...
They don't need a rebuilding, just a good central defender and replacement for Alves.

Best thing about being a Man City fan isn't the win itself but watching Ferdinand and Scholes (or any other ex United player without a bit of class) squirm when being told to give false praise when we do. After having to listen to years of dross from red pundits it is fantastic, carried on watch BT Sport just to watch that one moment.
I'm hoping City v Real Madrid (though this is the team I don't want to meet next), Bayern v Atheltico Madrid. That way regardless of who wins the final will be a good draw.

They were unbeatable until El Clasico and now they need to rebuild. Are you kidding? Barcelona just need to sure up the defense but overall that team still has at least one more CL trophy in them.

Barca spent 50M on Turan and Aleix Vidal last off season. They just need to spend some of that on a central defender.
Something something Bayern these past years.
Ancelotti wil get us to the promised land.
that was only thanks to robben!
Even more amazing to see that Bayern is not depending on Ribery or Robben to make it to the semis and beyond.
Rebuild the defence is still rebuilding. Where did I say the whole squad? They basically have no back up as well. So with the rumours they have money problems they may have to sell a big player. They have the best front 3 in the game but even they can't win you a game every time.
Yet according to a few Spanish journo's they can't afford to give Neymar the money he wants. They need far more then just one centre back. They have no depth. Madrid are lucky they have crazy amount of depth. They just need a manager to get them all to click. Maybe Zidane is that manager?
Small squad maybe?
