Why punish the rest of the teams in the world just for the rich and powerful?

You're a glory supporter so don't know much.

its not about punishing the smaller teams, its about putting the best of the best up against each other, only the very best players will make it into the super league...............

but that's exactly what it would do.. Logic..

There is no need for one and the current set up is perfect, Barcelona and Real can cry for one all they want but if they looked after the rest of the teams in their league they wouldn't need one either.

I thought Juve-Shakhtar was pretty entertaining, Shakhtar played very well & probably deserved to win but as always Juve grind it out. Shakhtar to finish top imo (can't see them losing at the Donbass) the winner out of Juve vs Chelsea to make it through, awesome group apart from Nodjsallen.

The European super league will come sooner rather than later imo, this is the day when i will find football less appealing.

Can't see Shakhtar beating Chelsea or finishing above them

By that definition, would United qualify? Out of the Cl last year at the group stage (including losses to those minnows you seem to dislike so), knocked out of the EL by Athletic Bilbao.

Super league is a dumb idea IMO, part of the fun to me is seeing the small teams be underestimated and take out the big guns.

I went in half time put money on Juve, BM & United to win their games... ok Juve didn't make it but they didn't lose it and Shakhtar as you know is filled with talented Brazilian
however going from 1-0 to 3-1 and against BATE is unacceptable for a team like Munich

juve-shakhtar is so boring, cluj-man utd is not much better mind, juve look a bit tired to be honest, pirlo looks like he needs a break from football, he has played too much recently..........

Far from boring. Obviously not your typical English hoof-and-run type of game. Shakhtar played really well, they deserved the win and should've had a penalty. Really, if you find that boring then there's no point in debating.

About the Super League, I hope it never happens. What makes big matches appealing? Answer: they don't occur as often as other matches, so they're greatly anticipated and looked forward to. Having a Real-Barca, United-Bayern, Chelsea-Juve, etc.. twice a week is stupid. You remember the 4 clasicos in 18 days in 2011? The idea of it my be appealing now, but in practice it's completely the opposite: exhasuting and ruining the whole experience of the match.

And I agree with XMG, smaller teams outplaying bigger sides is one of the beauties of the sport. Not taking a dig at EPL sides here, but I've enjoyed Athletic vs United and Chelsea vs Atletico more than I enjoyed Milan-Arsenal, United-City (the 1-6 thrashing), etc...
