Champions League 2016/17

[ejuventus]

Bayern and Barça above all
slightly behind, Real Madrid

after a step, Juve and Atletico

after another step, City

then, Dortmund ,Siviglia

then, in case, Leicester

with all possible variations due the unpredictability of football:
Atletico seems not to be in their best season, so they can have a black-out......or they're concetrating their focus all on CL
Dortmund may be beaten easily, or may find the day they can beat anyone in
Siviglia could eliminate 1 of the 2 big spanish sides
City, with Guardiola's hand, can do great things
etc.

in any case, I don't think there's a doubt about the 3 favourites, who on the paper and according to results are always the same

 

[ejuventus]

I just add that I want once my Juve to challenge Barça in a double legs

this Barça is the greatest cycle in football history, with the greatest club player of all time
I hope the group of players who's doing great things at Juve have the chance to play them at Camp Nou, and hope to watch Messi & C. at the Juventus Stadium

I know that sportingly is not the best thing to wish, but there are not many years again with Messi, Iniesta, Neymar, Suarez, ecc.

Hold your horses guys. Don't get too cocky. In CL, anything can happen. Still a lot to play.

I make Bayern, Dortmund and Juventus the favourites, although anything can changw. It's a shame that (both) Madrids went through.

Dortmund. people in here got their new extremely overhyped team after PSG. Just when I thought it couldn't be worse

lol like a schoolgirl all you want. Dort on a good night can beat any team to a pulp.

ok maybe I'm biased just a bit

 

[Cool]

Dortmund like City lack a good defense to win the CL.

 

[Galning]

Dortmund is not the same team they were a few season ago. Good team nonetheless, but lack quality to win the Champions League imo.

Not even a good team, they are average just like PSG

 

[FC B]

Not even a good team, they are average just like PSG

Then it means Mierda is also average finishing the group behind them..

That's not how football works in reality.

This isn't indeed the best way to estimate a team's level at a certain point but it can tell you that much, average teams do not usually finish their CL group first and ahead of top teams.

quality aside, the draw determines a lot. winning the CL is a combination of travelling the path of least resistance (i.e. Real), luck (i.e. Chelsea), class + form (Barca).

Unfortunately for us, we only win the CL when we play above the everyone else. Makes winning it a lot harder. You can count on Real to get easy draws and conjure good luck to offset poor form.

Chelsea for Barca was the easiest tie possible that year. Maybe of any year.

It wasnt luck that put Barca out it was poor finishing and poor defending against an awful side down to ten men for over a quarter of the tie.

In shitty groups yes they do
