Champions League 2019-20

[Leo_Messi]

Creating this thread in hope of giving my share of luck and positive vibes in order for us to win the CL "at last". I am saying at "last" as 4 years without winning the CL is a lot with the GOAT (Messi in case anyone was in doubt) around. I might be overly optimistic or naive but I cannot imagine Malmierda scoring a hat-trick when it comes to extremely embarrassing CL exists after being 3 goals ahead before the return leg. Or at least I hope never to witness such a thing again.

Quite some surprising results so far in the third qualifying round. 2-time European Cup/Cl winners Porto going out against Krasnodar, 1-time European Cup winners Celtic going out against CFR Cluj, Dynamo Kyiv going out against Club Brugge, Basel (that kicked out 1-time European Cup winners PSV Eindhoven in the previous qualifying round) going out against LASK and Ajax barely qualifying against PAOK.

Half of them. See the first link mate.

EDIT: Plus one of either Slavia Prague and Young Boys. There are 12 teams in total in the play-off round and 6 of them will qualify for the group stages.

Chelsea the better team and Pedro playing a really good game so far.

Yesterday LASK got clearly robbed in their first leg against a weak Brugge even though VAR was in place. They gave a penalty to Brugge in a situation which was a crystal clear offside in the first and also absolutely no foul in the second place. VAR did not object. Seriously, WTF !!

Looking for a Real Madrid Liverpool/City in the group stages.

Can see Real getting a spawny win vs both. Liverpool don't look too hot this year either.

Real Madrid - Juventus would be fun, and it feels inevitable. Big players usually get to play against their previous club pretty soon, UEFA will make sure of that.
