Champions League 2024-25

I am comparing teams based on who got those 4 extra spots. In 32 teams fornat, Bologna and BVB will be in Europa League. Two other spots went for smaller teams, not Brest or Brugge I think, teams in their positions always end in CL. Maybe those who usually follow qualifications could help me hete

Yeah i get your point. Lots of teams moved up a bit either in qualifying, or two straight into the league phase, due to two extra spots being there outside the Performance slots. I agree with everyone though that 32 teams would be better. Though it would be more awkward in making it 8 games a piece for teams I think.

Just continuing what I said in the Palmer thread mate, keeping threads on topic.

Strong chance of beating Celtic at end of January. How about winning in Monaco, that could happen too. You might finish with 19/24 points. That would likely get you top four at worst.

Yes I’d like to think so mate. Although Celtic do seem to be a bit more competitive in Europe this year.
I do fancy us to get the win in Monaco although it’s a bit tough to predict what Villa team is going to turn up at the moment.

Yeah definitely a chance here of top 8. Like you say Celtic are more competitive, but Atalanta outplayed them, Dortmund hammered them, and they weren't good in Zagreb either. They're poor away from home in CL so I expect you to beat them, especially if you need to, on the last day. Famous last words but still.

That was disappointing for you yesterday, mate, with the Forest comeback. You and another mate of mine are Villa fans so I have been hoping for the team to do well, but it's not been great recently. Do you see it as a slump or do you think you overperformed last year and are just settling into more of a normal level? Or a bit of both?

But Messi had 3 prepreprepre-assists more. He's the GOAT. Barca should have paid the poor guy more!

Trolls posting the same misleading tripe over and over while going into hiding having to explain CR7’s 0 KO GA in 5 World Cups across 20 years

Thats a thing ive always criticised at Messi, he has been incredible when team was the best in the world (even without him) but otherwise there were too many games where he didnt deliver,for example against Roma or Liverpool we need just 1 goal bro, just 1 goal, create some magic and score a fucking goal dude. Same for Argentina against Germany in WC14, 2 Copas against Chile....bro just 1 goal would have won the titles.
I mean in ll he did it numerous times, dont know why he couldnt that in cl.

Terrible post Fati.

He's not a player who just focuses on goals
