Champions League 2022/2023

That's why for me City are the best, and Madrid only 2nd.

Madrid wont be second best team in Europe if dont win CL and lose the league to this Barca.

They would need to win it to even have that claim of being in top two.

There is no argument for them being it in that scenario.

Man Utd are better than any side Real have beat this season... Liverpool could well not even be a CL team on this seasons form.

But a SL should have a relegation zone, even for its founding members. That way, everyone has something to play for.

Madrid wont be second best team in Europe if dont win CL and lose the league to this Barca.

There is no argument for them being it in that scenario.

Argument is seeing them play. Title wise, you're right. If they don't get CL title, Barca have a better season than them, all the more credit for Xavi and the players.

 

[JamDav1982]

Argument is seeing them play.

Playing v who has them as second best?

Liverpool?

Nah wont be top two at all if see them play in league they lose to Barca and best team they beat is Liverpool who are may not even be a CL team next season.

If claim that then just pure delusion.

Unless win it. Then can argue one of top teams.

One moment the argument is 'only winning counts' the next it is 'Real are top two no matter if they lose to this Barca and best team they beat is Liverpool in Europe'.

Games against a struggling and disaster-season Liverpool, and a Chelsea of Frankie 'apprentice' Lampard as few days caretaker say shite about them honestly

But Serghei is a certified Madrid dick sucker in here, the worst on that front along with KingLeo
So no surprise

 

[Birdy]

No it isnt.

Pressing high up and winning ball from their defenders is not hitting teams on break.

That was not how City played. They were just a bit more cautious at times to make sure got in shape when Bayern had ball.

I didn't say they sit back dude.
I said they had less possession that their opponents in both games, and in both those games they hit their opposition from steals and forcing mistakes in their buildup

Unfortunately, this are the teams EPL had to offer in CL except for City this season.

 

[JamDav1982]

So Real are 2nd best in Europe if lose league to Barca by a dstance and dont win the CL and only beat Liverpool..

Because... its all about seeing them play.

New levels of mental gymnastics here.

 

[Birdy]

Unfortunately, this is EPL's best this season in CL except for City.

Last season had three very strong EPL teams, Chelsea city Liverpool, and
ALL OF THEM outplayed Madrid heavily

And yet you were still dick riding Madrid.

So, it's not really about how they play, and if they are good.
It's about your personal thing with Madrid

 

[JamDav1982]

Unfortunately, this are the teams EPL had to offer in CL except for City this season.

Yeah and it would make Real better than them as many others are in EPL this season to point Liverpool wont make CL and Chelsea closer to relegation than CL.

While also being worse than Barca domestically.

Real not even close to one of top teams if lose league to Barca and dont win CL.

Barca been better than them this season in that scenario.

Real have not even beat a better team this season yet in CL than knocked Barca out the EL in February.

 

[serghei]

Not sure Madrid get scared by Arsenal, Newcastle and United next season in CL though lol. So only City that can take them most likely in CL next season also.

 

[jamrock]

If inter beats benfica, serie A is officially the 2nd best League in the world Right?.

Going by the Barca forum CL is the be all & end all logic right?.

Are will we hear, like we are hearing now, re Madrid getting to yet another SF that they're nuances in Cup competitions and everything is not as black & white as who won or lost.

👀👀.

What relevance does that have?

Why would this point have anything to do with being scared of them?

'Only City can take them out'...you are talking about imaginary scenarios where the facts in that case would actually be best team they beat was Liverpool when Barca out by a better team in EL in Feb.

 

[serghei]

Madrid made 3 CL semis in a row btw. Only them and City. Anyone that is not playing sily forum games can see these are the best teams currently.

Fake news.

The logic clearly involves La Liga.

Try again.
